Cons:

  • "Made contact twice... Although the call handler was helpful no one ever called back."
  • "If I was to pick up on one thing - when the phone was answered by someone other than the reception ladies, they tended to be rather curt and not willing to answer questions so I ended up coming off the phone pissed off a couple of times."
  • "Arranged a test drive for a new car a few days ago... but it would have been nice to get a phone call to advise."
  • "Went to view and possibly purchase a car I really liked. Put down a reservation with Autotrader. Went to view the car today only to find it had been sold 5 minutes before i turned up."
  • "No sense of any sincere apology on arrival either, the salesman wasn't particularly bothered."
  • "The car is still listed on the website eligible for reservations. Very disappointed and the dealer blamed Autotrader."
  • "Was advised of a safety recall on my vehicle by my local garage at my MOT. Was told to contact my local Ford dealership. When I called here they told me no such issue existed and rushed me off the phone."
