1st Choice Automotive 

Bought a Peugeot 5008 from these guys. Fuel injectors were leaking fuel and oil the fumes of which were being sucked into the cabin when the blowers were on. Drop links also worn (fairly common on Peugeot, but not the point). Aircon also not working - no gas in the system. The car was sold to us in an unsafe condition, yet when I eventually made contact with the dealer (after he'd hung up on me several times) who told me he'd collect the car to have it repaired. Waited in all day - car not collected, phone ignored for the rest of the day.
Contact made again with the dealer, who told me to claim through the warranty - the warranty which we had an email through about telling us he hadn't paid for it, so it wasn't being honoured.
Wrote two letters to the guy (sent recorded) setting out the issues and advising that we had sought legal advice and we would be taking it further, as per advice from Citizens Advice. Both letters ignored. Now pursuing the cost of the repair (£540) through small claims court. Do not buy a car from this garage.

UNPROFESSIONAL AND FAULTY CARS! Purchased a Porsche Cayenne Hybrid S from this dealer and the dealer assured me there is no issue with the vehicle, however, the booth and sunroof mechanic was not working, the engine light was on and the window buttons were broken in the car. Nothing was declared before the purchase, after the request the returning the car they charged for the full amount of collection of the car from the address even though they sent the faulty car. They are also very rude and hang up the phone on my face a couple of times

I really wished I had read the reviews for this garage before purchasing a car from them.
We went to the garage with about 4 cars that could have been a possibility that we were interested in. The sales guy seemed to push us towards a 'great car with massive spec' (his words) and out of the 4 cars would be his choice of car and from hearing what we wanted it for and that would suit us down to the ground.....
1. That night we realised that a side light bulb needed replacing, even though the pre delivery sheet ticked that all bulbs were ok. We decided to let this go as yes, it could have gone since the car left the garage.
2. The oil light came on and needed oil - on pre delivery ticked check sheet, yes you guessed it was ticked to say it had been checked and was ok!
3. Several days later realised that the automatic boot doesn't open in the hot weather, only opens when it's colder!
4. The Tv's in the headrest do not work at all.
5. The brakes are shocking and one disk completely rusted. (Passed mot just 2 months previously) - more about that later....
6 weeks later after purchasing the car.....the car started to make the noise as if a plane was taking off. Phoned 1st choice cars and told them about the wheel bearing and shocking brakes and discs.. ..Their reply...."Dont worry it will be covered by the warranty" Great I thought!
"Just take to your nearest local garage, get a diagnostic report and phone warranty"....
My local garage did this to be told that the warranty would not cover either the brake pads/disc or the wheel bearing and the garage told me it would costs me £560 repair bill. Suffice to say not happy!! Phoned 1st choice cars to let them know and to see if they would pay as a gesture of goodwill......Their answer....No!!
I told them how disappointed I was that just 6 weeks previous spent loads on a car to be paying out another £560 on repairs. Customer service is shocking - beware of purchasing from them, do your homework like I should have and read the reviews.

A total CON ARTIST i bought a car from this garage on a Saturday as i was driving home to Newbury the automatic gearbox started to jerk very aggressively so i called the garage and reported this the owner arranged for me to take the car to a local garage to get a diagnoses done. I took it and they did the test and yes it came out with gearbox errors The garage kindly gave me a copy of this so i had proof. I called and told them i have the paper work printed of the diagnoses machine and he said no problem he will take the car back and fix it What a JOKE. Not a thing done to the car well he said that the car has been serviced but the service light still comes on say service due. I took the car back to the garage that done a diagnoses and paid for another test and yes it came up with the same errors funny that!! The garage did not get paid by 1st Choice because they gave me a copy of the read out what was you trying to hide??? TAKES YOUR MONEY AND RUNS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!

Don't use this car dealership. I am sure they are very busy and turn over a lot of cars. However, I visited from London for a Land Rover Discovery and was immediately re-directed to a new car in stock which had "a great spec for the price". The sales guy was clearly pushing hard to get this vehicle out despite being interested in 3 other cars on researching. This new one in turned out to be a complete dog. The electrics were all over the place. The one stipulation i had was reliability regardless of spec because the car was going to be used in spain for a few years. On the first trip the dashboard shut down and the car would not start again. The staff were not interested at all and suggested i should have purchased the insurance warranty. The car had a new alternator but no use, eventually it had to be towed back from spain after breaking down randomly with electrical failure on anyone that used it. I sold through a friend who explained the problem to a local mechanic, he again replaced the alternator and eventually the car was sold for next to no money to an electrical expert who was going to rip it all to pieces. Beware any dealer that pushes you in the direction of a specific car, but especially these guys who had no interest in after sales care at all and clearly were motivated to shift this car to a non local buyer.
