Hi, I bought my car from Dunstable branch of A5 cars direct. Sales man took me for a 2min test drive, told me i can't drive it on the road because of new law blah blah blah... They took my car as a p/x and i was happy to pay and go. I was happy for about 5 miles then engine light went off. I called A5 and they told me to go to the garage in luton and they will fix all at no cost. Cool i thought, so drove to the garage, guys reset the computer, job done. Again happy. Well not for long, car lost power, engine light flashing. Went back to the garage just to be told that injector is failing, leak of oil from the bottom of the engine, car idling badly and loud so i need to get back to a5 left a car in Dunstable and asked for hire car. They gave me the keys to my old car saying that at least i know this car won't let me down like i said when p/x ing. Jokers. 2 days later I went to see my car, maybe it was fixed but she wasn't there. A5 took it back to Dunstable as in the garage was no space go keep it and they will drop the car back next day when the parts come in. Next day i went to mechanic to see if its there but no, again called A5 to hear that they experience staff shortage. So I went there to get it. When I asked for my car, salesman went on the yard to pick it up for me. I went out to see where they kept it and I couldn't believe it was again on sale with the keyes inside, unlocked free for all to test it. When I asked what is going on, was told that it was just parked and ready for my collection. Ok, took it back to luton's garage and was told they will call me when fixed. It is nearly 3 weeks now. Mechanic said that they ordered wrong parts TWICE from ebay. They are going to use second hand parts to fix it but can't find the right one. Today he told me that A5 don't want to pay for repair at all! Today I checked hire car from them just to find out that there is no road tax on it. Still waiting for my log book as well. I lost my patience and called Trading Standa

DO NOT PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT OR BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM.
As with all the other bad reviews this company can't be trusted. It's a side business being run along with a food take away and car wash. This is why the service is so bad. We looked at a motorhome for sale which was driven to the location to show us but on arrival it had lot's of problems not listed in the advert. They spent over an hour trying to get it all working. We made the mistake of puttin

Sold me an unroadworthy car! It spent more time in the garage then it did with me! Finally after threatening legal proceedings with them they refunded me but not all of the money. Complete bunch of cowboys that prey on the vulnerable. Please avoid I have yet to meet a person with a pleasant experience with this company. My phone number was also used in an unprofessional manner which I found unsett

Bought a BMW from them after diving it 60 miles it broke down took it to a specialist who tells me its uneconomical to repair dealer states not his problem however trading standards disagree so stand by to be shut down as im not letting this go ill take it to every court in the land I will ruin them for costing me 4.6k and selling me an unsafe car knowing I have kids in it.

Steer Clear!
Worst Car buying experience ever. Adding £50 admin fee after tye price has been agreed. Found non-existant faults in our trade -in car which they told us was only worth scrap value and we then found on sale on their website for 3 times what they said it was worth. Paid for a 3rd party warranty which was later cancelled by the warranty company as the dealer had not passed on the payment.Took an ama
Please don't buy from these guys take my experience
I went on auto trade to find a car, I then saw A Peugeot 206 04 plate advertising for £999 so I call to find out about the car, I was told by a sales man by the name Ali how told my the car was in good condition. The next day I went to the dealership office to buy the car then I was told that the car I was looking for was sold two days ago. But I had pictures to prove that the car was still in th
