Lovely ford fiesta purchased and dealership done the timing belt within the asking price

My experience with this dealership has been one of the most stressful and disappointing experiences I’ve had buying a car.

The vehicle I purchased was faulty from the start. After giving the dealership the opportunity to repair it, I travelled approximately 400 km to collect it after i was toldit was ready for collection only to find the same faults were still present. I was then given a replacement vehicle, which also developed faults within less than 5 km. I was sent to another location for another replacement, but the same transmission fault reappeared after less than 3 km.
Each time I was given a different vehicle, I had to arrange new insurance, pay road tax, and pay insurance administration fees, resulting in significant additional costs.

The final straw was the courtesy car. I was told everything was in order and that it was fine to drive. However, I later discovered it did not have valid insurance or road tax. I had already driven the vehicle believing it was legally compliant. I also found that its MOT was due to expire shortly, leaving me unable to use it for work or return it without concerns about driving a vehicle that was not road legal.

The dealership then demanded that I return the courtesy car, even though I believed it did not have valid insurance, road tax or an MOT. When I refused to drive what I believed was a vehicle that was not legally compliant, they started threatening to report it as stolen. I found this intimidating and completely unacceptable, especially as I had repeatedly asked them to arrange collection instead.

What made the whole experience even worse was the level of customer service. In my experience, the staff were very unprofessional. It was extremely difficult to speak to anyone because they always seemed to be on phone calls, and I constantly had to chase them for updates and attention.
When one of the mechanics identified a problem with the vehicle, they did not explain what the fault was to me. Instead, they started speaking among themselves in their own language, leaving me completely in the dark about the condition of the car.

The so-called manager repeatedly pressured me to accept a vehicle that was displaying a transmission fault warning, insisting that “it’s your car.” Even after I exercised my right to reject the vehicle, he continued trying to force me to accept it. At one stage, he even said he would leave the car outside my house and post the keys through my letterbox despite me making it clear that I did not want to accept it.
Throughout the process, I found myself constantly chasing the dealership for written confirmation of insurance, road tax, and MOT arrangements instead of these being provided before any vehicle was handed over.

At the time of writing, my complaint still has not been resolved

Brought a Land Rover rover and had good service from the team.

small little claims will sort your trouble with those a'''pes

Great place to buy car. They have huge selection of car.
I was searching to buy 1 ltr audi A3 in white which facelift model under my budget last 6 months.
I found the car and come and take it in 10 min . Happy a lot with my purchase and car is brilliant

Sold a car with 1 month MOT yet paperwork said 9 months. Fraud.
Sold a car with no valid service check in the last year, especially since it had another owner since the previous service.
Sold a car as 3 owners, actually had 5.
Gained 4,000 miles while sitting on their lot over 11 months.
Sold a car without a working oil light notification. Sold a car with almost no oil in.
Happy to ignore all communication.
Dangerous company. Would avoid. Have had to go to police, trading standards and financial ombudsman.

Avoid this dealership at all costs.

What should have been an exciting experience buying a 2019 Mercedes A-Class quickly turned into an ongoing nightmare. Within days of collecting the car, coolant warning lights started appearing repeatedly. I returned the vehicle to the dealership for repair and they kept it for around three weeks, only to return it with the exact same fault still present.

Communication throughout was extremely poor. I constantly had to chase updates myself, was given inconsistent explanations, and staff were rude and dismissive whenever I tried to get answers. At no point did I feel like they genuinely cared about resolving the issue properly.

After losing confidence completely, I had the car independently inspected by a mechanic who identified multiple concerning issues including loose components, poor workmanship, non-OEM sealant on engine parts, coolant system problems, electrical faults, and signs that previous repair work may not have been carried out to a proper standard.

For a relatively modern vehicle sold by a dealership, the condition of the car and the way this situation has been handled has been completely unacceptable.

Please do your research carefully before buying from this dealership as seems this is a reoccurrence and after the worst couple months the stress from the situation has physically made me unwell.

Trading standards have been informed.

Recently purchased a van from these and issues within a week, van now returned via finance company and there refusing to refund, debt collection now involved please buy elsewhere

Affordable Car Centre (New Rd, Great Barford, Bedford MK44 3LH)
I would not recommend Affordable Car Centre based on my experience.

After buying a car from them, it broke down twice on the motorway with the engine management light coming on. Both times, the vehicle had to be recovered, causing a great deal of stress and inconvenience.

The clutch has also failed, and I've experienced problems with the brakes. The total cost of repairs has now exceeded £4,000.

What has been most disappointing is that, despite these serious issues occurring after only around 500 miles of driving, the dealer has claimed they are simply "wear and tear" and has refused to take responsibility.

I expected a car to be safe, reliable, and roadworthy when I bought it. Instead, I've been left with expensive repair bills and a very frustrating experience. I would encourage anyone considering buying from Affordable Car Centre to do their research before making a purchase.

They have multiple fake reviews on there google page putting them at 4 starts if i did my due diligence and check trust piolt this would have shown there true colours as they are at 2.2 start

Please do not buy any cars from this place the owner is a con man

upon purchasing a car for my daughter we immediately had problems with the vehicle, the engine light came on the day after purchase, we took the car back 3 times to have this fixed ..to no avail
the air con doesn't work - so we aske for this to be rectified, again we were promised this was fixed & still doesn't work, when called to discuss we were told this is a serviceable item and just because the advert says air con it doesn't mean it works ..... avoid ..avoid ....avoid

Very happy with my first car purchased through this dealership

Avoid this dealership they are mis selling, Don't buy a corolla WF74FKV it is a ex taxi which was confirmed on a HPI report and also by the council it was licensed by but this garage said I am mistaken and once I sent a screenshot of the email from the council they stopped replying.

I'm glad I looked at these reviews was going to purchase a car but I think not I bet the good reviews are people who know the owner

Do NOT give this COWBOY a PENNY! Deposit was paid for car in good faith, car history was a lie, I therefore requested a refund due to “Breach of Contract” fobbed off & refund NEVER received!
How do you sleep at night?

AVOID
Was told that if I decided there was something wrong with the car I would get deposit back. He failed to mention it was written off a year ago and was category S WHICH IS ILLEGAL he is now not answering calls or text messages

Warning about these apes .stay away .cars with modified mileage

be aware at fake mileage on these cars

Brought a ford focus from these in 07/02. Less than 3 months later the car is not fit for purpose at all. On the drive home from Bedford to Loughborough, the engine light came on. I contacted affordable cars about the issue and they asked me to get a diagnostics test on the car which I did costing £99. After the diagnostics test showing a serious fault, I contacted affordable cars who then tried to fob me off saying it was an oxygen sensor causing the fault without having even seeing the car. When I pushed back, affordable cars took the car back to Bedford and brought it back to me saying there is an issue with the head gasket which they have since fixed. Fast forward 2 months till now, the car has only been driven very short journeys due to me not having obtaining my licence until today (30/04) I took the car for a drive yesterday to keep the battery working and pulled up on the side of the road, when I tried to put the car into gear, it wouldn’t go in at all. I had to do a manual restart to put the car into gear. This happened again and again. I contacted affordable cars to try to rectify the issue and they have been ignorant at best. They asked me to contact a warranty company who turned around and told me that they might reject the car due to the fault being caused wear and tear!!! I have driven less that 100 miles since buying the car in February because as previously stated, I only obtained my full licence today! They have sold a car not fit for purpose and are now choosing to ignore me. Under the consumer rights act 2015, I have the right to reject the car due to 2 serious fault within such a short period of time. Enough is enough now. I will be taking this further!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS, THEY ARE JUST REPAIRING CARS ENOUGH TO GET THEM OUT THE DOOR KNOWING THEY'RE NOT FOT FOR PURPOSE. Now I’ll do everything in my power to get my 6 grand back. Please think twice before ever using this company

Mis sold a car stating it had full service history when in fact it hadn't had a service in 5 years.
I have given them the opportunity to partial refund or provide me with the full service history.. have been ignored. Will take them to court to claim money back if they do not respond and resolve the matter.

The car also had unpaid finance which I am still unsure has been paid off. They have not confirmed if it has.

I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this place at all costs. The lack of professionalism, honesty, and basic customer care is shocking. Save yourself the stress, time, and money—go somewhere that actually values its customers.
