Customer reviews of Alastair Cars Ltd

I was extremely impressed with the staff/service at Alastair Cars. I met a guy called Mo who was friendly but also very professional. Part exchanged my car for a Ford Fiesta and did have a laugh at how they 'needed' to replace all the body panels on a 15 year old VW Lupo (I used to be a panel beater 20 years ago so know that they're just going to get someone to t-cut the afflicted panels)! Good people to do business with however, and all the documentation stuff was sorted in an efficient manner. 3 month warranty on all cars and a year's AA breakdown courtesy cover too. +++

Dear Ola, We are clarifying your side of the story. You have called us and have bought a vehicle over the phone, during the phone call terms and conditions have been discussed with you and you have decided to proceed with purchase of the vehicle, paying £50 non refundable deposit towards purchase of £300 car and remove car from advertising so no one else can purchase the vehicle. Following day you have called us saying that you are purchasing different vehicle from different dealer and you are no longer interested in completing sale of the vehicle you purchased with us. As explained to you £50 non refundable deposit has been used to re-advertise vehicle. Kind regards, Alastair Cars

Bought my VW Golf from this dealer in May 2016. The car broke down the day I bought it meaning that I had to call the AA. Took the car back to the garage who replaced the exhaust and the NOX sensor for free. The engine failed again after another week. Took back to the garage and again fix the problem. Ran ok up until last month. December 2016 there is loss of power in the engine, car going into limp mode. Repairs left me with a £150 bill as well as ruining my Christmas plans. Now the car has gone into limp mode yet again and I have been quoted £400 for repair! I would NEVER recommend anyone to this dealership as they clearly knew they flogged me a faulty car as there is so many problems with it. Very frustrated and annoyed. I will be getting in touch with this garage soon regarding these issues. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALER!!!!
