  • "The whole experience from start to finish with Sam Hicks was stress free and we even had a laugh along the way."

Cons:

Cons:

  • "I wouldn’t have been too bothered about it, but after calling the store manager I was told there’s nothing they can do about it, no apologies no nothing."
  • "The sheer hassle, ignorance and outright audacity this garage showed is the reason I’ve left a review."
  • "Do not use unless you want them to hold on to your deposit for 4 weeks."
  • "The courtesy car was empty of fuel too which I had to fill at my own expense! All for issues that should have been fixed at 90 point check, it does make we worry if anything else was missed!"
  • "Took my deposit and marked the car as sold on the website, I was then contacted and test drive arranged. The nice man phoned to tell me they had sold the car to someone else."
  • "Not willing to reimbursed or any goodwill gesture after being loyal customers and buying 4 cars previously from them, won't be going back."
  • "I put a deposit down on a car which ultimately kept going wrong."
