Buyer Beware

Buyer Beware

I may have just been unlucky, but I wouldn’t want anyone else to experience similar problems without being forewarned.

The Company is not a member of the Motor Ombudsman Scheme.

In July 2024 I bought a Jaguar XF from Global Automobiles in Blackburn. I had read excellent reviews, and was reassured that the Company promised a complete pre delivery check, a full service, cam belt replacement and new MoT test. I also purchased their extended 12 month comprehensive warranty for a further £399, and paid £399 delivery since am a 72 year old disabled driver and my home is in Kent, 288 miles from Blackburn.

On delivery the cabin had a musty, smoky odour which I assumed might have been from the delivery driver smoking or from the previous owner. I quickly discovered the AC unit was inoperative and thought this might account for the smell.

I advised the Company and took the car to my local Formula One Autocentre. Their Ecotechnics analysis revealed 0% refrigerant and 0% oil recovered, and that

Miss leading Sales pitch and equally poor car preparation
A week ago I enquired about a used Land Rover Freelander 2 Sport LE (2011). I spoke with a man called Junior, who was polite and courteous. He explained that the car was in excellent condition and a must see. He also added that a service and the timing chain and water pump replacement would be carried out. Furthermore, some scratches to the boot would be taken care of as well. I asked that as I w

Shocking Service
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Ashley reassured me that the car is in perfect mechanical condition and just few scratches around. I traveled all the way from London and bought the car as I didn't mind the bodywork condition. 200 miles later, the car had leaks coming from the gearbox, engine and the cooling system. I am not even sure how I made it back home! Next morning they didn't want to hear about my pro

Professional, caring and TRUSTWORTHY.
I have taken my time out just to say thank you for the great service you provided me with whilst buying the lovely mini convertible for my youngest daughter. Ashley took all the headache and stress away with preparing the vehicle to the extent of personally going to the DVLA to register my daughters private registration on her new Mini. Impeccable service and I just had to write an online re
