Long review but I urge you to read in
Long review but I urge you to read in full before you buy from BayerI bought a car from Bayer 20th December 2023 The car is a Hybrid and developed a fault when driven in hybrid mode on a long journey For transparency this was 4 months after buying the car but was the first time the car was driven a long distance in hybrid mode This led me to believe the car had as fault when buying I still believe this now I sent an email to bayer and was ignored and subsequently followed up only to be ignored further It wasn t until I issued court proceeding that I got a proper response from Elliot Bayer s solicitor Lawgistics This case eventually ended up in court and again for transparency I lost The reasons I believe I lost are firstly I misinterpreted the law and the burden of proof so if taking Mr Bayer to court ensure you have a full diagnostic Secondly Mr Bayer conveniently told the court he didn t receive any of my evidence which was sent signed for As I was unaware I would have to prove this on the day in court and couldn t 99 of my evidence was dismissed Elliot did receive my evidence and I believe he lied in court knowing I wouldn t be given the chance to prove it was signed for SEND EMAILS to his solicitor and Elliot not letters if taking Bayer to court I urge anyone buying a car from Bayer Car Sales not to avoid at all cost and then you won t be subjected to my experience and the experience of many others Below are his scores on review sites at the time of postingBayer car sales has an average score of 3 on trust pilot They have 2 5 on car dealer reviews ranked 16 of 17 in Fareham and 9042 0f 9729 in the UK there is a reason for this Bayer have 3 9 on auto trader Google he has a 4 ratingHe is apparently also paying for 5 reviews and pressuring people into giving good reviews before handing over keys in the last few months I urge you to read the reviews and make up your own mind before using Bayer Car Sales Regardless of what happened to me it is evident he engages in a pattern of behaviour when the cars he sells have faults As a side note if the car didn t have a fault at point of sale it developed one due to the fact the garage Elliot uses K2 Garages didn t do the full and proper checks on the car If you read the reviews there are many that talk of faults it s K2 garage and Carl Coombs responsibility to carry out inspections

I urgently needed a van and they had an LEVC electric van available for excellent money It was turned around very quickly they did all the paperwork and taxed it before I even left the showroom the vehicle developed a problem they were available to me for advice or support and liaised access to the manufacturer for warranty support which I used the van now drives like brand new so much so I have stopped using my land rovers and I drive this everywhere I want to say to their team Thank You and you will definitely see me again in the not distant future

Would recommend
Huge respect for the owner Mr Bayer The guy I initially spoke to made a mistake which cost me 100 fuel and a total 12hour drive only to find out the car was not as described I declined to buy the car and he didn t return the deposit of 500 as apparently that was their policy Disappointed I left the place and asked him to speak the owner He promised to do that but then I am guessing didn t and stopped replying to my messages Day 2 I contacted the business through their website and another person replied who was more than keen to help and not too long had spoken to the Boss and returned my refund Anybody looking to buy from Bayer car sales should do so in confidence that the owner is genuine sometimes staff make mistake and communication can better but that can happen anywhere Note I was not asked by anyone to put up this review having seen some poor reviews about this business I just wanted to pass on my genuine feeling And thank you Mr Bayer for understanding and returning my deposit

Great
I can only comment on my experience but have to say that the salesman I dealt with Lloyd is the most helpfull car salesman I have ever dealt with not pushy and spent time with myself and especially my wife with the car and is an asset to the company Left us alone to discuss as it was a big purchase for us and when we picked car up it was seamless Lloyd even put my granddaughters car seat in for us great guy I will be recommending then and returning when I need Another car
