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. DO NOT TOUCH THESE GUYS WITH A BARGEPOLE YOU WILL REGRET IT.

The last time i ever had any dealings with this place was when i sold my Bentley and bought that…read moretroublesome Rolls......aye right. 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!!

He wasn't pushy or anything either and even got my car sold as he could t take it himself. Was really impresssed and the car was spotless when we picked it up, abosloutely love the car. And 100% would recommend derek to anyone.

I can give zero stars, right?!…read more I had a pile of warning lights (including for my brakes) come on in my Mini last night and phoned Douglas Park to see if there was any chance of getting my car seen by the end of the week. The person I spoke to advised I call back at 8am to their services line, which I did. This number took me to a switchboard and I was transferred 3 times before speaking to someone. The person I spoke to LAUGHED when I asked about a potential service/check up tomorrow, despite me explaining about the warning lights, and offered me next Thursday at the earliest. Let's just hope my brakes don't fail in the next week.... This is my second bad experience here, will never use again and would rather travel further to go to a Harry Fairbairn mini dealership.

Also moaned about the time I'd picked on their online platform for the car to be collected.

I am anxious to contact Thornton Cars having found the advertised telephone number is no longer in…read moreuse. I bought a Mazda 323F Sport from Thornton Cars last year which was missing the rear head restraints. I was advised that these would be supplied but have never recieved them. Further, the car had a rattle at the rear and i was advised that it was just an exhaust bracket. It turned out to be badly worn drop links for the rear anti roll bar. That should have been spotted at the MOT before the car was sold. Also missed at the MOT was corrosion around the offside front shock absorber mounting. This corrosion was visible from inside the engine compartment but when i showed concern about it at the show room, i was told by the salesman, 'it was ok because it was not structural'. Who told him that? Apart from missing head restraints, the car was sold without a toolkit, wheel brace and a missing jack handle.

Great at taking money but wow, the customer service is like something from a hidden camera show…read more After paying over £250 for a standard service, I was advised not once but twice that the car would be ready for collection only to be forced to turn up in hope and find that it wasn't. Forget that i have a wife in hospital and 2 young kids to get to school, that's not the staffs problem, their approach though was one of despondency and a total lack of professionalism which left me feeling a bit cold. I usually avoid negative reviews but for everyone's sake, be wary of this place. There are much better, Ford approved, independent garage options out there. Unless of course you're into non-returned phone calls, false promises and major inconvenience.

After deciding to upgrade to a newer model of car I came across Evans Halshaw on Cumbernauld road…read more Their prices looked quite good and the staff were very friendly and put me at ease. After deciding on a car costing £11,000 I was thrilled. This was until I had signed for the car and noticed a few problems,after calling the sales person up I was assured these small problems would be sorted promptly,this is where my problems really started! I had no contact from anyone from the company,I called them numerous times and each time I was told "The person is busy,they will call you straight back." None of these phone calls ever materialised. I spoke to both sales people and management at the branch and had no luck. In the end I paid for the problems to be fixed myself. This company will bend over backwards for you until you sign for the car then their customer service skills equal 0/10. Their sales team/staff are the most unhelpful and non customer care orientated I have ever come across. My advice is to avoid them at all costs,there are much better independent garages out their who have customer care levels 100 times better than this place!
