How not to sell cars

Excellent Customer Service


We recently had the pleasure of working with Liam Booth while deciding on a new car purchase, and the service we received was outstanding from start to finish.
Liam was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in helping us find the right vehicle for our needs rather than simply making a sale. He took the time to answer all of our questions, explain the different options available, and ensure we felt confident throughout the entire process.
What really stood out was Liam's friendly and approachable manner. There was never any pressure, and he made what can often be a stressful decision feel straightforward and enjoyable. His professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail were second to none.
We are absolutely delighted with our new car and would highly recommend Liam Booth to anyone looking for excellent customer service and expert advice when purchasing a vehicle. Thank you for making the experience such a positive one!

The staff were relatively helpful but kept changing role and at times didn’t feel like they knew what was happening or who was actually dealing with me as a customer

Robert , who dealt with the sake of the car at the end was very helpful and professional may I say.

Thorough but expensive and long wait

Service and MOT seemed thorough and the update video was reassuring.

I was told I was the first car in as I turned up at 8:45am so was surprised it took another 5 1/2 hours before my car was ready to go. I did see my car parked up ready to go 45 mins before being called by the admin person so assume this was an admin delay. There only appeared to be one member of staff handling all of the calls, invoices and customers in for the garage whilst lots of other staff stood around not doing very much. Perhaps not the most efficient use of staff resources.

Chose the service for convenience because my car is part of the MOT package but price of the service was a lot more expensive than other independent garages.

for months now

for months now, i have been trying to get the car i purchased from Bristol sorted out. the salesman charged me £399 for a ceramic coating that was not applied, the MOT was not do and i had to leave the dealership with 2 months on the MoT on the car. the car was MoTd at cardiff dealership and failed on bushes and the clutch slave needed to be replaced. i was booked in for the dsy but on arrival, i was then told to leave the car as it would be more than a day, this would have stranded me in cardiff 40 miles from home, i have a pacemaker and a diabetic. we agreed that it would be booked in when a courtesy car was available. that was a week ago and now my calls are not being answered. they say they will call but nothing in a week as i say.

Terrible service

I had a terrible experience with a car that was not as advertised. I ordered a transfer of a used Volvo from the Wakefield branch to Cardiff and booked a test drive. On the website the car looked clean and ready to drive away. However, the car wasn't ready and was in terrrible condition. It was dirty inside and out, then when I looked under the bonnet it was covered in moss and leaves which looked like it had been taken as a part ex and sold on directly with no work being done to it. When I drove it there was clearly a problem with the clutch and it required very heavy pressure to push it down. I was told I just wasn't used to driving Volvos and would get used to it, as if I hadn't been driving for 30 years and did not have a clue. I was still going to consider the car, after checking the cost of a new clutch, however, the price they were now asking was £400 more than was advertised. They denied that the price would change and, as they had removed the link to the advert, and I did not have a screenshot of the original advert, I could not prove this. They would not budge on the price and would not refund the £99 transfer fee, despite the car not being in the condition advertised or being sold at the advertised price. This is a totally unacceptable service for such a large car dealer

Fantastic service from start to finish

Fantastic service from start to finish. Bought a new car for this company and the whole experience was fantastic. The salesman where very knowledgeable and not pressuring. The sale and credit agreement was all sorted before hand, so had plenty of time to read through before signing. On the day of picking up of the car we were made treated very special.
Definitely recommend.

I recently purchased a BMW X6 M Competition and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish.

A huge thank you to Tristan, Jacob and Cameron, who were absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process. They were incredibly helpful, extremely knowledgeable, and always friendly and approachable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they took the time to answer all my questions, making me feel completely confident in my purchase.

Their professionalism, expertise and genuine customer care made the experience truly enjoyable and stress-free. The level of service I received was first class and exceeded all my expectations.

I couldn't be happier with my new BMW X6 M Competition, and I would highly recommend both the dealership and the team to anyone looking for a five-star buying experience. Thank you again, Tristan, Jacob and Cameron!
