Cons:

  • "Unfortunately my experience at first4car wasn’t as good as most!, for a company who have won customer service awards in very surprised at the customer service I received."
  • "Firstly I was giving a date to pick my new vehicle up... I got a text message 9 o’clock on the Friday evening to say it’s not going to be ready and that I would receive a phone call the next day to tell me when it would be ready... still hadn’t received a phone call."
  • "False promises were made e.g. exaggerated statements and the prep wasn’t as described."
  • "I am a single Mum and spent my life savings buying this car (£8500)., I have also had to spend money hiring a car as I use it for work. And I'm ANGRY that I trusted this garage, they've sold me a DUD CAR."
  • "After negotiating a deal for a wonderful looking 3 series BMW car with Sales person Jordan he said he would phone me straight back to take a card payment as a deposit. After a few hours... I never received a call or e-mail and the car is still featured on the web site."
  • "The car started having issues with the dashboard then would not start, i took the car back they claimed they had fixed it but started having issues again a couple of months later with the car rattling and loosing all power."
  • "They then messed up with my road tax meaning i then received a letter from dvla saying i was going to be getting a £1000 fine or my car crushed."

Cons:

  • "I have driven past First4Car many times over the years but have never before called in to their premises."

  • "Also they say that they give an MOT with no advisories on it yet when I checked direct.gov MOT, I had brake advisories on the discs, yet the discs weren’t touched on collecting the car."
  • "Firstly the price of the car was advertised wrong and the salesman lied to me and told me i read it wrong however i had photo evidence but would not budge with the price."
  • "Sadly my experience wasn’t great. Got a car from here and it had an ongoing issue with the car."
  • "I left having made the decision this was not the garage i was going to buy a car from."
  • "After speaking to 'Ian' over the phone as I would be travelling a very long way to view a vehicle I was interested in I asked for him to send me a video of the vehicle and more detailed photos so I could be 100% before I drove almost 7 hours to view... 2 days later - no video or contact."
