Avoid Ideal Car Centre - Don t Let Them Mug You
Avoid Ideal Car Centre Bought a car on 17th September 2022 It was a Cat N but advertised as minimal damage and repairs to a high standard Discovered later that a bolt had been sheared off the gearbox the gearbox was leaking oil and there was internal damage to the gearbox And a water leak I fixed the water leak for 1200 of my own money Now the gearbox needs to be replaced and this might cost 10000 and Ideal Car Centre Bliston don t care They are the worst car company I ve come across and like others have said should be shut down

Unroadworthy Renault Captur
Unfortunately as per many of the reviews behind the friendly demeanour of Sam there is a problem here Yes they have a nice looking array of vehicles and on the surface the welcome you get is good - until something isn t right and then you don t get any response I m still waiting for my deposit back like so many others I put down a deposit over the phone to secure a CAT S Renault Captur They have lots of these types of car available as do many garages These vehicles can be a good buy if they are properly repaired However I opted for an AA inspection to be carried out in the vehicle prior to purchase I said to Sam that providing this was ok I would come and collect the vehicle He was fine with this at the time The AA inspector called to give me a damning report on the vehicle including things like missing bolts poor quality repairs bends in the structure poor mismatched paint work and discrepancies in the mileage The list goes on The inspector also advised that he did not test drive the vehicle - which they would normally do - because he did not consider the vehicle roadworthy I contacted Sam very politely and advised him of the report and offered to send him a copy which I did so he could attend to the issues before selling it to someone else but under the circumstances I would not be proceeding I explained that given the report which suggested the car shouldn t be on the road and not because I had merely change my mind I would request the return of my deposit - which only seems fair Sam advised me that this would be fine I m still waiting And waiting And waiting No response toy emails or messages It would appear they ve bought the car at auction I suspect as this is normal and bodged up the repairs to get rid I can only assume they do this to all of these types of vehicle My advice is to steer clear altogether get a proper inspection on these type of vehicles before buying and do not send these guys a penny of your money in advance because if there s an issue you won t see it again Oh and by the way - they advertise on auto trader that they are in some sort of AA scheme I spoke to the AA and they aren t listed on their database

READ ALL REVIEWS
READ ALL REVIEWS ESPECIALLY FB Shocker of a company deposit put down on a car that apparently only needed valeting Monday for collection Wednesday no contact chased and was told it would ready today chased again and now needs a new sump and wouldn t be ready until next Wednesday Called owner earlier to clarify every thing and he was defensive from the off and put the phone down called him back and he said I couldn t speak to him like that and he wasn t my husband or friend thank God and put the phone down again Wouldn t mind but I d only asked why we had to keep chasing for updates and to clarify the issues Called in back and got a mouthful of abuse he obviously doesn t like speaking to women At this point Sam you can shove your scrap car Will be going through the bank for a charge back for our deposit By the way would love to know why the car we were buying is still advertised on numerous selling sites
