Car dealers always seem to suffer from the "Arthur Daley" syndrome so it was with some trepidation…read morethat I chose to go down that road (if you excuse the pun) when looking for another car. After meeting several dealers who added to my used car dealer's paranoia, I finally decided to give it one more go with Stephen Hannah Cars. Right from the initial phone call to inquire about a car through to the final sale I could not be more impressed with the professional and trustworthy service I received. My contact, John Miller, was honest throughout the engagement and sought to give me the best deal and car for my budget. In the end I drove away with car that exceeded my expectations. I could not recommend these guys enough. Just tell them Bob sent you....

I am posting this review in the hope that someone else does not have the same experience with this…read morebusiness that I did. I purchased a car from Great Western Motor Company at the end of November 2013. A condition of purchase was that I asked them to freshly MOT the car for me so I knew it was safe for me and my partner to drive. I do a lot of driving for work and frequently have colleagues and family members in the car, so a safe reliable car is a must for me. On purchasing the car I was assured it had passed its MOT with no advisories. I asked to see the paperwork but I was told it was in the post to the DVLA. They told me it was MOT'd by a local garage in Anniesland but didn't give me the name of the garage. I drive with my sales receipt and no V5 as this, I was told, was with the DVLA so the private plates from the previous owner could get swapped over. I accepted this as a reasonable explanation. I noticed after having the car for a week that it was a bit sluggish, and did not coast like my previous cars and decelerated very quickly when in gear and not using the brakes. When I had the time available a week or so later I took the car to a trusted mechanic in Prestonpans near where I live in East Lothian and he informed me that the front brakes were around 50% seized and had clearly been like that for a lot longer than a few weeks, as the pads were worn down to practically nothing. He said the car would never have passed an MOT at the end of November, and went so far to say that he would stand in a court of law and stake his reputation on it. He is a registered MOT station and a car dealer, as well as an expert on the type of car I purchased (I took it to him as he has owned several of these cars himself and the owners club recommended him). As Christmas was looming I needed the car repaired quickly so I called Great Western Motors to complain and their attitude was astonishing. They refused to tell me who had MOT'd the car, told me they were refunding my money and taking the car back, and told me I was "at it" and accused the mechanic of colluding with me. I told them I did not want a refund - I had bought the car because I liked it, I still liked it and all I wanted to know was who MOT'd the car so I could inform VOSA. At this point I started receiving an increasingly bizarre and offensive stream of text messages from the salesman, details of which I will leave out of this review as they are so odd it may stretch the comprehension of even the most open minded individual. I had been driving children, colleagues and my partner around in a dangerous car because of either the MOT station or Great Western Motor Company and I wanted answers. I had not received the paperwork for the car and asked them to put this in the mail immediately as they had it sitting in the office and hadn't sent it on to me. When all was said and done the salesman called me and promised me (I emphasise the work promise at this point) that he would pay part of the £486 it was going to cost me to replace the brake calipers and discs. He asked me to give him the weekend to put this right. He never contacted me again. This was just before Christmas. I received the paperwork a couple of days later. Lo and behold, they had lied to me and the car wasn't even MOT'd in November - it was MOT'd in September and they had taken me for a ride and sold me an unsafe, un-MOT'd car when they said they had freshly MOT'd it with no advisories. These people took £2995 from me and lied to my face. Three weeks passed and it was the middle of January when I contacted them again, on the off chance they had a busy festive period and asked if I could have something towards the cost of the brake calipers and discs - at this point anything was better than nothing, and I thought they could at least redeem themselves in some small way. I then got a laughable offer to buy the car back as they think they had "undersold" it to me (bear in mind this is a used car dealership, so underselling something is a completely ridiculous assertion). I have spent money rust proofing the car and putting the brakes right by this point and bought accessories for it so I simply refused to deal with them a second longer. I am now seeking redress through Trading Standards and the small claims court. Avoid these people at all costs. I just hope they do not do the same to someone else and they end up taking their family out in a death trap.

wouldn't even give this place the one star the only reason I am is because u need to rate it…read more Bought a ford ranger a year ago and had nothing but problems with the car from going into limp mode spontaneously 3 weeks after buying it to the electrics being all over the place with having to turn my lights to off mode to have them on. Had to buy a new battery after 4 weeks due to the electrics running it down, had to get an inspector sent from finance company to check over the car who unfortunately did not find anything at that time even though everything was present. After a lot of money already spent and being told by this company that it's 'not their problem now' as I'd had it 4 weeks is just laughable. Now onto the 1st year Mot which cost £1500 needing glow plugs , new back box exhaust as the one on it had a massive hole in it even though I use it for domestic driving, not to mention the engine management and abs lights continually coming on. I have my local garage who has photos of underneath my car and diagnostics to back up it was a wreck before I touched it with wiring patched up appallingly, the whole underneath of this car and throughout the electrics were shot and this car had cost me in 1 year £10,000 with the £8000 car I traded in and the mot which I'm seeing nothing back for. worst of it is I still owe £10,000 for this heap of shit.

Not the kind of place you'll find yourself in unless your in the "i happen to have shit loads of money so go beat yourself with a stick if you can find one on the street you low life son of a mangy goat, now leave before i release the trained wilder beasts" bracket of earnings. For those amongst us whose first car was the same age if not older than them, then this is the type of joint that you will probably never set foot into, unless we win the lottery. So then, the best thing about This place is the wander by it. If, like me, you appreciate a nice motor and quite like a wee gawk at some nice old examples, then this is a good place and a great location for those who frequent the pubs in this area of town. Is there anything better (sadder) than having a few drinks, heading home with chips and cheese and standing (swaying) in front of a car show room for 10 minutes?? There is? oh. Anyway, got cash? fancy a nice old flashy car? Try this place out, just be careful not to knock the chips and cheese out of my hands as you drive away!!

Im not a huge fan of car dealerships, ive been stung in the past by dodgy salesmen who promise you…read morethe world and dont deliver. This branch is a little but different however. Its a joint dealership with Renault and Toyot and I have had experience of both. More recently I purchased a newish car from the guys at Toyota and i couldnt fault the service from start to finish. They did push for a hard sell but then i guess thats too be expected and I was no pushover either and we eventually met in the middle. I visited Toyoya today as a part had randomly fallen off my car. I was disappointed to find it wasnt covered by the warrenty but they guys were happy to order it for me and they will fit it for free. . The sales manager here is a really lovely guy and because of him I would return here again in the future.

WARNING WARNING…read more For anyone thinking about buying a car from GLASGOW TRADE SALES I purchased a car from GLASGOW TRADE SALES on 14/2/18 with 3 months warranty! I have been trying to contact them since the 10/3/18 to report some problems I am experiencing. They hang up on me & don't return any calls when I leave messages. They also refuse to acknowledge or respond to emails. I now realise they have done this a lot to other customer's. After a bit of investigation on my part the warranty they claim to offer with "Warranty Wise" which you can clearly see advertised on all their current cars is a complete LIE. I have personally spoken to warranty wise and GLASGOW TRADE SALES are not an approved dealer of warranty wise and haven't been for 5/6 months now. They are liars and cheats please do not buy a car from them it's not worth the risk. Check out the reviews on Google and Auto Trader I wish I had before buying my car. All I can do now is warn others so they don't fall for the same lies I did. Please help me by sharing this with family and friends in the Glasgow area!

Glasgow Trade Sales. Absolute cowboys and thieves. Do not go near this place if you value your…read moremoney because they absolutely WILL rip you off. Recently bought a Kia Carens that turned out to have multiple issues. GTS do not answer calls or reply to emails or messages, I wonder why. I guess their 30 day warranty is worth about as much as their word. I have since had the car independently checked and the garage I use and trust are adamant the car should never have passed an not due to the brakes being defective among other issues. GTS never even bothered to fix the non existent handbrake despite falsely claiming too. Glasgow Trade sales will take your money then stick their fingers up at laughing you as you drive away. The matter is now in the hands of trading standards, VOSA and the police for the dodgy mot issued. Glasgow trade sales have f####d with the wrong guy this time. See you soon Dan!!!

I have just come back from holiday, after recently buying a car from Peter Howard Johnston's…read moreEdinburgh, and decided to write a review based on my personal experience. I knew I would have to travel a fair distance to view/test drive this car, so I phoned first and spoke to Peter. I was assured of the condition, and general details of the car to such an extent, that I instantly felt very confident, and felt I was genuinely dealing with a very honest and trustworthy company. I had to phone back a few times over the next few days to arrange when I would be able to come, and also to arrange insurance and road tax. This was when I first spoke to Raymond, and I have to say, again I came off the phone, satisfied and confident that the car would be everything I was told it would be. I phoned yet again, a day before I left to confirm everything was ok, and also to get directions from the main Train Station in Edinburgh. I was instantly told by Raymond, to phone him when I got to the station and he would come and pick me up. This, I thought was an extremely kind gesture, considering the garage is a good 3 miles from Edinburgh city centre. When I arrived at the garage, I found the car to be exactly as advertised, and exactly as described by both Raymond and Peter. We took it out for a good test drive, and along the way had a good chat and laugh with Raymond. Once we arrived back at the garage, I was smitten and didn't need any further convincing. At this point I met Peter and found him to be as friendly and welcoming as Raymond. Along with an already very good price for a very good car, PHJ also covered the cost of my first year's road tax, along with a £25 top up of fuel. Something I certainly didn't expect! All in all a very pleasant experience, and would highly recommend both the high standard of cars, and also the high standard of customer care that I received. I have already recommended them to friends and family, and would certainly remember them again in the future.
