Autoshine Motors

Only sells for a quick buck! Bought a car from rich @ Autoshine motors - warning signs were initially flagged when I asked for a test drive and A) he refused to come with me B) said I could only drive round the block as the car was running on almost 0 petrol! I took the chance and drove the car home - noticing the steering wheel being completely off centre as I drove back Upon driving the car a few times it began to overheat each journey I drove it on! turns out it had not a DROP of oil left in the engine when he sold it me! Rang him & he was very aggressive when trying to give it back. In addition to this, the back breaks were almost completely seized - taking it to the garage for a service cost me over £300 extra on top of what I'd paid rich for it! Don't go to this dealer if you can afford not to - completely dodgey & not worth the risk. TL;dr no oil, no petrol & brakes that were nearly completely worn through! Update: to top it off I now have a flat tyre! It's only been a month since I bought the vehicle

Wish I had seen these reviews before i bought my car from Autoshine Motors, they are a total sham 'dealer'. PLEASE MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH AUTOTRADER IF YOU HAVE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE TO MINE... Found them on Autotrader. Should have been suspicious at first when they gave me a receipt for £200 less than I paid for it. I queried it at the time when they delivered the car and they said it was a mistake and they would send me an updated receipt in the post but never received anything. Had car just under 1 month before it started shaking severely when driving. The engine warning light started flashing indicating serious engine problems. I took it to a local garage who diagnosed about 6 different problems with the engine. This included fuel misfiring, faulty flap return spring on the throttle, break sensor faulty, and destructive cyliner misfire on cylinders 3 and 4. Since the car came with a 3 month warranty for engine and gear box I assumed this would be covered. Be warned, this is something they write on receipts but have no intention of honouring. The website and phone number for this company do not work, only managed to get hold of them via another ad they had listed on Autotrader which had a mobile number. Tried contacting them numerous times, at first i was told that the warranty only covered faults within 28 days. I produced the document they gave me that said 3 months and they begrudgingly agreed to look at it. They kept the car for over a week before they let me collect it again and as soon as i drove it home the light started flashing again and the whole car was shaking. When I spoke to them they said they had just dried out the spark plugs and put them back (they didn't even swap them for new ones just replaced them after they had been dried off). I asked about the series of other issues that had been flagged by the garage and they said it was nothing to do with them. The engine warning light is still flashing and the car is shaking like crazy when i try and drive it. I have now lodged a formal complaint with autotrader and also contacted consumer advice for help. If you have problems with this company (which i'm sure you will) please DO REPORT THEM FORMALLY. The more people who lodge complaints, the more seriously Autotrader will take it and hopefully they will be banned from scamming more unsuspecting customers.

Drove down to look at, and probably buy what was (and still is) being advertised as a 'Bargain' and what I thought would be the perfect car for me. Upon arrival I was told that the car had been sold the day before despite it still being advertised online and remaining online for the next week. I thought it was odd of them to dismiss me so quickly and not ask if I would like to see something else in my price range, but left feeling quite disheartened that my perfect car had found a home elsewhere. A week later I was absolutely furious to see that my dream car was being advertised again, this time with a brand new MOT and a price about £500 out of my budget! I can't begin to say how disappointed I am that they lied to my face about selling the car. I will never consider buying a car from them again, and I hope that my beautiful dream car rots a big fat hole in their money grabbing pockets.

Warning stay away from this company. I sent a email enquiry about a car, they did not reply, I then phoned about a car that I was interested in on their website only to be told that it was £500. Dearer than the advertised price. Extremely poor customer service. STAY AWAY You have been warned

I got a fiesta from them a while back, the service was very poor, the car had an old battery that I had to replace on the second day, the milage was not what it was advertised, they promissed to change a tyre before I came to pick it up and they didn't. I would never go back and I would never trust a word they say.
