  • "Felt pressured to get work done immediately which actually didn’t need immediate attention."
  • "I then noticed the reversing camera didn't work, which was a big selling point from Luke as I wouldn't have purchased it without one. When I spoke to Luke he told me it didn't actually work, he then proceeded to lie about telling me a lie."
  • "I asked to exchange it for a different car but they only offered me book price keeping £4000 that no way can I afford."
  • "Sales and marketing is a bit gimmicky with Nandos meals plus they try to get a photo of you next to your car for Facebook which I refused."
  • "What a massive disappointment! I purchased my first car here from Spencer and I've got to be honest, I loved it and it was a pleasant experience. Then I had the misfortune of Luke selling me a car."
