Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Chris was excellent, went above and beyond, totally trustworthy and 5 star customer service."
  • "Dealt with Ben who was very friendly, not pushy and gave a great service."
  • "Really great guys to buy a car from, no pushy sales tactics, really professional."
  • "There was no hassle and no pressure from Sam & Chris and I was made to feel very comfortable."
  • "Chris from the after sales team has also been great and keeping in contact making me feel comfortable I have made a good choice when selecting a vehicle from this garage."
  • "What extremely friendly staff. My first contact was with Rebecca followed by Chris and his wife Samantha."
  • "Every question I asked was answered promptly throughout and I would definitely recommend."

Cons:

  • "This is the worst service I have ever experienced in my life I would definitely consider if it is worth the stress if you ever decide to purchase a vehicle from these cowboys."
  • "Obviously the comical warranty they offer barely covers anything and when told about it, owner Chris has ignored me ever since."
  • "Wasn’t really given an explanation as to why the price and deal we had agreed was now being refused."
  • "The worst buying experience I've had. Was rushed into the purchase because 'others want the car' 'do you want it or not' questions were thrown after sitting down literally for 1 minute to look over paperwork."
  • "When contacting Severnside about this the owner was rude, abrupt and wanted nothing to do with it."
  • "After speaking to owner Chris and explaining I wanted to return the car is was reminded of the following - We have sought legal advice on the matters raised."
  • "Please avoid. Worst car buying experience I’ve ever had."

Vehicle Quality

Pros:

  • "The car I purchased was accurately represented in the online listing, and I was relieved to find that it matched both the description and the provided images perfectly."
  • "The car is in great condition!"
  • "The car itself was in great condition, with really good history, especially considering it is 14+ years old."
  • "The car was immaculate when collected, their valeter had done a superb job prior to collection."
  • "The service I received from this company was faultless, the car I bought was immaculate and drives like new."
  • "Car was in great condition, Chris was excellent to deal with - could tell he takes pride in his business."
  • "The car was exactly as described."

Cons:

  • "Since day 1 all I’ve had is problems. The whole car creaks when going round pretty much any corner, there’s about 6 different rattles that are so loud can be heard over the radio when driving and water has been leaking into the boot."
  • "On the journey home an engine management light came on and a coolant light came on."
  • "The large number of faults at this point was enough for me to want a refund."
  • "This indicates an attempt at covering up electrical faults that they were aware of and deliberately attempted to erase prior to the sale of the vehicle."
  • "After a month of having the car the engine management light has came on and the garage have said its costing a lot to repair."
  • "The car was recovered that day and it was diagnosed that the time chain had failed and the car was sent for repair."
  • "Approximately 2 weeks later a battery fault appeared so I contacted Chris who eventually accepted that I brought it back for them to look at."

  • "I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a nearly new car."

Cons:

  • "Bad company avoid ! I got told they would hold a car for me and they would not sell to anyone else and call me if someone shows interest... they sold the car they said they would hold for me."
  • "All then done to us was waste our time."
  • "I would not recommend to anyone as it’s been a painful and stressful experience……."
  • "I have been refused a refund by Chris of Severnside Cars."
  • "I then left a negative review online and received an apologetic phone call straight away! He then offered me £300 to remove the review."
  • "It transpired it wasn’t cost-effective for me to gather all this data and pay for further inspections."
