This garage really has no morals or integrity, despite arranging to go an view a vehicle and…read moreagreeing with the manager that he would not sell the car until we arrived - which we duly did. We arrived to him just driving off the forecourt with the vehicle. We gave him the benefit of the doubt believing he had probably told the other prospective buyers that we had first refusal. Unfortunately this was not a man of integrity and when he arrived back at the garage he told us that he had sold the vehicle to the other couple. This was despite seeing us turn up as he drove past us, and he did know it was us, as he asked what car we would be in. He really had no excuse. I would strongly recommend that you do not go to this garage. If they demonstrate little integrity and morals it would lead one to question what they would sell to you. Furthermore it appeared to be a bit of joke as the other couple seemed to find this conversation and "car gazumping" amusing which was rather poor of them. Please note this garage is not friendly focussed or efficient as suggested on the web-site so be warned.

Offering a diverse selection of used cars tastefully displayed outside its small office building,…read morethis family-run motor dealer appears inviting and alluring upon passing, with a line of spotless hatchbacks facing out towards the high street, as if to wink at passers-by. What the passers-by don't know, however, is that behind the office and forecourt lays two additional indoor garages, home to a much broader and much more varied collection of cars. I discovered this on a recent visit to view a sporty little Toyota Celica, after selling my previous car online to a long-distance buyer. The car was priced at just under £3,000 and a member of staff took me out in it for a test drive after I'd looked round the vehicle in one of his spacious garages. The car was fantastic to drive, with superb grip and a very sporty feel. However, I disliked the staff's pushy sales banter and decided to leave it due to being unsure about the colour and condition of the interior. A week later, I spotted a similar car online for £2,250. It had a better specification, lower mileage and was in much, much better all-round condition. The staff at Boldmere Motor Company are friendly and their forecourt may be enticing, but be warned: the cars here are overpriced and you're likely to find a much better deal somewhere else.

Andy gave me, what turned out to be, an honest appraisal of the car, and was happy for me to place a holding deposit on the car to allow me to travel to see it and agreed to have it M.O.T'd before my arrival. Upon physically seeing the car, it did not disappoint and was prepared to a high standard and drove well on test drive. My relatives requirements changed in terms of the vehicle she was looking for and I did not go ahead with the planned purchase of the VW Golf. Andy returned my deposit without any fuss and was what can only be described as a gentleman in the circumstances.

I booked the service for this Saturday where you drop the car off. Weekdays you can get them to pick up the car from home or work. The customer service is great, they treated me well even though I technically don't own the car, and the guy listened to me with things that have happened with the car and said he would run full diagnostics. I went into town as had no one to pick me up, but returned half hour early as nothing else to do, and I sat in the lounge. They gave me a nice mug of capuccino. The waiting area has been refurbished since my last visit. It is very nice, plenty seats, table area and desk area if you need to work. There is a kids zone with its own tv! They washed my car and I was able to go! Last time I was given a tin of free travel sweets but nothing this time! Maybe they only do it for first service. If you have a merc then I recommend this place for service etc.

All you need to know: If you're a person who revels in learning how something is produced, then…read moreyou will find the Solihull Experience a worthwhile use of your time My intimate obsession with Land Rover started off when I was young. As I grew older, I began to understand that Land Rover didn't just produce these luxury land yachts, but also more humble and productive automobiles including the Series 1 Land Rover. I've learned that it was made using aluminium since steel was in short supply and that the early models had green paint simply be it was the only paint available. At this point, I got introduced to Jeremy Clarkson and his audacious co-presenters. I've never personally owned a Land Rover, but I began to understand the magic of ownership of such a well-designed metal contraption. Soon afterwards, I've convinced some loved-ones to buy a Range Rover Evoque, and they did, though for only two days. Never at any point in my life did I feel such a disappointment. This to me was like finding a diabetic pet dog for a family member, then have to witness the precious large-eyed animal go back to the shelter because "reliability was an issue". This was a debilitating experience for me, but I recovered by taking a trip to Solihull, England. I'm from the United States, so England was a "bit different" to say the least. The roads are much narrower, you drive on the left side, the driver's seat is on the right side, there are roundabouts instead of stop signs or traffic signals, and everyone in the left, sorry, right lanes flew by me in my rented Vauxhall Insignia at a meager 93 miles per hour. Mercifully, all the people that I encountered were of the utmost character. (I'll elaborate more on that later.) My journey from the hotel in Birmingham was anxiety-written, to say the least. I got up late and forgot where the rental car was parked. When I started the short commute towards the Land Rover Experience, my handy GPS told me that I was going to arrive exactly five minutes before the experience started. However, my GPS took me to roughly where the Land Rover factory was, not directly to it. Confusion and tension escalated quickly, and joy of joys, the Insignia hit the curb and deflated the front left tyre. By the time I stopped by a picturesque neighborhood to assess the gravity of the situation, it was five minutes AFTER the start time of the experience. It was bleak, with the onboard telemetry telling me that there was "0 psi" in the deflated tyre, but the passengers and I decided that I was close enough to the production facility to drive there on a flat, and after following a Land Rover Discovery 4 probably on their way to work, I arrived at the secure entrance, with barricading equipment that looks as if it had come straight from the White House. As I went past the very welcoming security, I got a glimpse of the size of the manufacturing colossus. Simply put, it was epic. Finding the facility was quite easy, as there were signs directing me towards my end destination. The Land Rover Experience centre looked quite small, located what seemed to be the middle of a wood. By the time I arrived, I was 15 minutes behind schedule, but the hospitable and benevolent employees brought me to the group in a "borrowed" Range Rover Sport. The tour itself was brilliant. I've learned more about aluminium, bonding, just in time manufacturing and fining the supply chain (£15,000 every minute they're late) than in all the years leading up to the tour. Before, I saw manufacturing as an elaborate version of a slaughter house which moved backwards, but what I glimpsed was fundamentally baffling, yet well orchestrated and quiet. I was expecting sparks flying everywhere and the workers to walk out on strike (like in the 70s), but none of that held true. The facilities (excluding the stamping facility) were as quiet as a library. The cleanliness of everything including the floors was on par with what one would expect from a 5-star hotel lobby. I saw the craftsmanship and fluidity of the assembly process in both the £50,000 machines and the workers. After one witnesses the true craftsmanship and energy required to produce a Land Rover or a Jaguar, they would develop this impassioned respect for manufacturing. After the tour, the tour guide brought everyone to the Land Rover Experience hub and offered everyone refreshments and a thank-you letter for taking the tour. At this point, I was supposed to leave, but couldn't because the lack of air inside the tyre of the Insignia. Changing to the spare wheel was difficult since there was no instruction manual, and the tools look as if they had come out of a Star Trek production. They were alien to anything I used before. Graciously, one of the employees for the off-roading portion of the Land Rover Experience center saw my dismay and offered to help with the tire change. If it wasn't for that helpful and generous employee, I would have had to wait 4 hours for a tow truck.

Their repair and MOT centre does a brisk trade. As I have a pretty old car I have trouble with it from time-to-time and I always ask the fellas there to take a look.
