Luke was the guy who sold me my Kia…
Luke was the guy who sold me my Kia Stonic on the 21st July, he was really helpful got the paperwork done efficiently enough, kind, and considerate. The inly reason I haven't given 5 stars is because the was dusty on the outside, it was lovely and clean on the inside. One of the keys had dead batteries so I dont actually know if it works!. Lastly I wasn't informed about the £200 administration fee they charge on top of the sale of any car.
However, ultimately I got a very good deal with my car, I love it, you get 3 months cover too so time to really make sure its OK.
Very professional and friendly service

Very good customer service
Very good customer service, very friendly and not at all pushy like a lot of car sales
Without doubt the worst experience
**Update following the company's reply**
At no point did you ask me to return the vehicle, you agreed to me having the diagnostics done at my local garage and you were sent the full report.
Your issue is that you wanted to fix it 'on the cheap' using 2nd hand parts of unknown origin. That was not acceptable to me, the customer. It is your obligation under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to ensure that repairs are carried out in a timely manner and to a reasonable standard.
You agreed, verbally, to cover the cost of repairs "as long as it was reasonable.
The costs were very reasonable, you just didn't like the fact that it was more than you'd have tried to get away with on the cheap. These repairs would ultimately have failed again far sooner than if it were fixed properly the first time.
The fact remains that you did zero preparation on the vehicle beyond a new MOT and charged me £199 for "Vehicle Preparation".
I am c.£300 out of pocket, plus the £199 fee because of your shortcomings after paying you £8,200 for a car that SHOULD have been free of faults and wasn't.
You cannot justify it in any way.
************************************************
Without doubt the worst experience I've ever had buying a car from a dealer. For context I've bought around 30 cars from dealers over the years.
Zero interest once they've had your money. If things go wrong, even immediately after purchase, it's not their problem.
They ignore you, give you the run-around, deny any responsibility, even if it is clearly their fault.
However nice the car is, avoid this dealer. There are plenty of good, reputable dealers out there who value their business.
