Affordable Car Center Avis 

Jay

Was nothing but polite and respectful I part exchanged my car and even if I got stuck finding my V5 he didn’t turn me away he waited until I found my original one. The car wa looking at was a little bit above what I had and jay was willing to give me a little bit more for my car so that I could have the car I fell in love with at his garage very very happy with new ford Kuga 2014

It was pleasure to do business with Affordable Cars.the sales team they were not pushy at all. They were very helpful and informative. They treated us with the utmost courtesy.

Ali was very helpful on the phone and when I went to the centre he could not have done more to assist me. I test drove a car and when I had questions, he took me out again in it, driving it himself and explaining features. Car was really well cleaned inside and out. I did not buy the car so cannot comment on any after sales experience (no reflection on the service there, it was not what was needed).

Purchased a little Ford fiesta from these guys yesterday. I’m very pleased, the car was cheap, properly immaculate, staff were so friendly and helpful and the buying experience was the opposite of the usual “car dealer” stereotype. 5/5 stars, will be coming back for my next car.

Very helpful staff and good stock

bad bad company DO NOT BUY FROM HERE bought a bmw 1 series convertible the roof doesnt work the shock absorbers snapped the DPF filter was previously welded and done badly because after i bought the car that broke. the repairs cost
me 1200.00 and within 6 weeks of buying the car ive had to buy a new car. my garage actually lifted
the car on the rack dragged me from there waiting room and showed me the shock absorbers were shot to pieces that the whole underneath of the engine was completely
rusted. whats worse is i was putting my children in the car uner the impression it was safe! tried to them they dont reply wont take any responsibility for any ‘3 month warranty’ despite them declaring i had warranty when i bought the car. reported them to watch dog motor ombudsman now
im leaving you a review you deserve.
shambolic !

Avoid at all cost . Was sold a car that is not road worthy.in fact very dangerous. Came with a so called genuine MOT ? . It’s going to cost me a small fortune to get it put right. Have emailed the company several times with no response. How they can rip people off like they do should not be allowed. I am disabled and now have no transport. Just goes to show these people don’t give a toss as long as they get your money

After all the bodges on my car I then heard from vosa that I needed mot inspection as mot cancelled ,inspected needed about another 4 k spent on it severely corroded cracked transfer box spilling oil had to get rid of car lost a fortune well conned avoid or get car checked immediately or take the risk

I recently purchased a car from here. Lovely and clean inside and out. Had a good deal. Rich and his team were very polite and professional. Would highly recommend.

An absolute waste of time after they promised the car is in excellent condition 10/10. Drove down their garage and had a look @ an A8 i was interested in and big surprise there… the 10/10 vehicle promises became 7/10 in my opinion. I asked them over the phone if there are any kind of fluid leaks, bodywork in good condition etc and been guaranteed the car is in pristine condition and no better car like that one out on the market. An absolute bulshit full of oil leaking bottom of the engine, missing under-trays but been told they can order them 😂 no problem..multiple scratches deep to bare metal, roof trims lacquer peeling and the list go on. Not something that someone can accept at a vehicle worth 15K. All this been said I would recommend you all to read the reviews and pay attention to what people’s said here and preferably to avoid this place. Good luck

My visit to affordable cars was great. Very impressive showroom - certainly different to all other car dealerships I've been to in the past! Smiley Syed was very generous with his time. Happy to answer all questions and allowed me space when needed to see the vehicle on my own. He was even happy to accompany me on two separate test drives, just to make sure I was absolutely happy with the vehicle. If you see a vehicle you want, do not hesitate to go and visit - you won't be disappointed!

Bought a little motor for my daughter last year.
Was a good experience from the guys at the garage showed me my options I bought a different car from the one I was originally viewing
It needed an ac regas 2 weeks later but I rang the garage and they sent me to one of their garages and sorted it while I waited.
She's over the moon, still. Thanks

Good expirence with them today Nice car and also well mannered salesmen. I'd say 4/5 from me. ;)

Good overall experience can’t complain
Got my first car from here no issues they let me test drive a variety of different cars. And talked me through all the different models and types helping me choose something both affordable on price and cheap on insurance. I also got 12 months AA breakdown cover however I don’t see myself using this as the car is so reliable. This is a genuine review no complaints from me

Good luck everyone

I recently had a deeply disappointing experience while purchasing my first car, and I feel compelled to share my story to warn potential customers about the unprofessional and sexist behaviour I encountered.

I found a car that I really liked and decided to test drive it. During the test drive, I noticed a weird sound, which was mentioned to me, and I was assured it would be fixed before the purchase. Two days after viewing the car, my boyfriend and I went to collect it. Jay, the guy who handled the paperwork, repeatedly ignored me and only spoke to my boyfriend, despite knowing I was the one buying the car. He even asked my boyfriend twice if the car was really under my name, and after I paid for it, he shook my boyfriend's hand instead of mine. This blatant sexism was extremely off-putting, but I chose to ignore it because I really wanted the car.

Three days later, the car started making a strange noise again. We called Jay, who asked us to bring the car in the following Monday. Since I couldn't take time off work, my boyfriend took it in. Despite Jay initially suggesting Monday, he later told my boyfriend he was too busy to look at it. My boyfriend insisted on bringing it in as he had no other day off, and Jay eventually agreed. Upon arrival, a mechanic examined the car and advised not to drive it back as it could break down completely, meaning I'd lose all my money.

The car was kept for over a week at their mechanic, who replaced the chainbelt and water pump. While I'm glad these issues were addressed, it's unacceptable that I was sold a faulty car in the first place. To add insult to injury, over a month later, I still hadn't received my V5C. When I contacted the DVLA, they informed me that the garage never sent it off, so I had to pay £25 to get it myself. Jay refused to reimburse me for this expense, despite it being his fault.

Overall, my experience was marred by Jay's lack of respect and professionalism and the blatant sexism I faced. I want others to be aware of this before considering doing business with them. The attitude and service I received were completely unacceptable, and I would not recommend this dealership to anyone.

This dealership told me I wasn't allowed an AA vehicle inspection, when they are AA approved and have to meet the AA conduct standards.
I had to involve the AA because they didn't want to return my deposit after they denied me having the car inspected.
They lied to the AA about the inspection, lied about the deposit and are in my opinion completely untrustworthy.
Do not buy at a distance with this company, you can't trust them. If you pay a deposit, do it with a credit card. Confirm everything you discussed with them in an email and keep all copies of any communication you get from them.
Luckily I had evidence they lied, which I provided to the AA and I was in the process of issuing a small claims court action against them when the AA were finally successful in getting my money back.
Read as many reviews about this company as you can, on here and Google, then decide if you want to spend money with them, I wish I had done that first!

Avoid at all cost they sold me a car with serious hidden defects. Brake pads fitted over dangerously worn brake discs, brake sensor removed and the wrong coolant which now needs to be flushed. Buyer beware. Please read all the other one star reviews on this rogue dealer.

I strongly advise against engaging with this company if you value the safety of yourself and your family. My personal experience with them has been alarming and potentially life-threatening. They sold me a car without disclosing its full history, which resulted in a situation that endangered both myself and my children.

Upon further investigation, I discovered that the car had previously been sold at a salvage auction, was stolen and subsequently recovered, and had sustained significant damage. This critical information was withheld from me during the purchasing process, and I would have never knowingly chosen to acquire such a compromised vehicle.

Efforts are underway to return the car and secure a refund promptly. However, should this resolution not materialize in a timely manner, I am prepared to involve the authorities, including the police, due to the inherent danger posed by the vehicle.

Additionally, I have taken steps to report this matter to Trading Standards for their attention to potential dealer fraud and criminal activity.

It is my hope that by sharing this information, others can be spared from similar risks and experiences.
