It took over three hours to get everything sorted even though I arrived early for my appointment. It’s the longest to date that I’ve ever stayed at a car dealership. One young lady was juggling between myself, other customers and who I surmised must be either her supervisor or the manager. I had to rearrange a job interview as it took such a long time. The car valet was poor, I had to clean the car again , especially the driver and passenger seat.
On a positive note, I am very pleased with the service of bringing the car closer to me without any cost to me. However, for test driving to competition of sale could and should have been a bit more seamless. I didn’t expect to stay that long abs wasn’t prepared for that lent o Tim.

From the date of sale

From the date of sale, the car we bought from Clay Hall Motors had persistent faults and was repaired more than 3 times, costing us more and more money. The car put my partner out of work for 2 months as a care provider. This car was meant to be reliable and should never have had faults. This car has had to undergo a third-party assessment to provide proof that it had major engine problems with the cooling system.

Final response from Ace, the third-party inspection confirmed

Thank you for your email.

We can confirm, as per the report we note from the information provided, that there appear to have been cooling system issues since the point of sale and multiple repairs carried out, whilst further evidence may be needed to confirm this due to the mileage covered, there is evidence to suggest the issues were in development at the point of sale.

Great tool to find used cars from trusted dealers

Really great site when looking for a car. Recommended dealers give confidence and was so easy to locate cars of interest. Daily updates for listings of model I was looking for really helpful. Location and car wanted set up and purchased through Car Gurus quickly. Great car buying tool, used cars with reassurance because linked to car Gurus. Great!
