The last car I purchased from them, and it will be the last I had a problem. I purchased a car from them and it developed a fault on the way home. I took it back to them to have a look at, they tested it and confirmed there was a fault. They had the car from me for a week or so and said that they could not fix it and will need to send it to the main dealer garage to fix. I agreed and let them take the car to the main dealer garage. After weeks and weeks of not hearing anything I called asking about the car, they told us that the car was unrepairable and that they would need to buy the car back from me. I had got the car for a good price so I was a little gutted. I decided to call the main dealer to find out more. It turns out that the car was fixed and was working fine and that A1 Motors had it back. The way the staff handled the situation, not offering a courtesy car until we asked, and even then was told we had to collect the car (we were not local) and then when we finally picked the car up it was an old car that looked like it was falling apart. They even told us that they still owned the car and that I had to give the car back for them, as they had all the work done to it, even though the logbook was in our name by then and they had our money. They were also very pushy trying to tell a warranty service before even buying the car. To make matters worse, when we finally agreed to sell the car back to them, a few days later the car appeared on the A1 Carriages site as well as Auto Trader. Simply the way we was treated and how deceiving they were makes me now want to avoid this place, even if they do tempt you in with cheap cars.

Upon entering their car lot, stepping over the hosepipe being used by a man to wash the cars, I walked past another man wearing an ill fitting suit and smoking, thinking he was a customer. After unsuccessfully finding a salesperson I went to the office and was asked what I wanted by the man in the suit. I explained I'd phoned them earlier in the week and was told to bring my car to them for a part exchange valuation as they couldn't give me a price without seeing the car. The man was uninterested, and told me to have a look around the yard to find a suitable car. After looking at the outsides of the locked, dirty vehicles on offer, I went back to the office to ask about a valuation of my car. Rather than being invited to sit down, I was made to stand outside the office door and answer questions about my car to two men standing inside with their arms folded. After what felt like an interrogation, and having no one actually look at the car, I was offered a price less than Webuyanycar.com for a dirty, overpriced replacement. and promptly left. After that I went to a Ford main dealer and received the proper service I would expect.

Having spoken to the manager I was told this would have to be put in writing and although this has been done I have received no acknowledgement and the company still has my money despite already re advertising the vehicle. I am now looking at taking legal action to recover my funds.
