DO NOT PURCHASE A CAR FROM HERE
Brought a Vauxhall Mokka from here, all was well for the first few months, then the problems started, car kept cutting out, loosing power/ going into limp mode, Brakes kept getting stuck, Everytime i took this back to the garage they would claim nothing was wrong with the car. Took the car back at one stage after they had 'inspected' the car and there was a rattle coming from the engine. They had left the engine mount unsecure and a wire loose. The salesmen called after about 2.5 years of having the Mokka and advised they can either get money off the finance or a new car. Due to all the problems, i opted for a new car. All is fine and dandy whilst doing the test drives & sorting the paperwork after choosing a new car. The day i picked the car up, they claimed all works had been completed and everything was in working order. The reversing sensor & camera didnt work. Took it back on the Monday after only collecting the car on the Friday. They took it to get fixed there and then. Week or so later, warning came up on the dash, start stop failed. Called the garage and they couldnt get it in until 27th November at the earliest, this was around the 10th November at the time (picked the car up on halloween so not even 2 weeks). Bit of a long time but fine as long as the car gets looked at. Well, this opened a can of worms... Could pick the car up at 4pm that day... Garage needs it over night to change the battery, pick it up at 4pm on day 2. Easy, only 2 days without a car... No they called to ay they needed the car over night to charge the battery (New battery had already been put in...) I can pick it up anytime after 10am on day 4... Go to leave day 4 around 10am, only to receive a call walking through the door... There is an issue with the high pressure fuel valve on the car which is why my engine management light is on. Dont worry HCS have agreed to pay for this, but you can't have your car back for another week at a minimum.
Two faulty cars from there later and i decided to give the car back and not finance a car from there again. Unless i am a very unlucky person and picked the only 2 cars on the lot 2.5 years apart that were not in fully working order. All of the cars are duds and the sales men are just after your money, promise you that all cars are in working order and all electrical and mechanical works have been done and everything has been checked thoroughly. Now this may have been because they thought i was a young impressionable woman they could manipulate but i will not be giving them any business and i will be warning everyone who suggests about going there not to waste their time or their money.
