It should be written into law that all car sales companies should deal with their public the way that Direct Cars do. I cannot buy from a company who just hang around and try to pressure you into buying a car you don't want. The service at Direct cars is exemplary. You can wander round all day long, ask for the keys to look inside any vehicle, and the staff are there in the background (not hovering) if you want any advice. I've just bought my second car from them in 3 years, and I wouldn't entertain looking anywhere else. Andy (our helpful salesman) was very courteous and professional. The pricing of our car was very fair and we felt Andy was completely honest with us regarding all our questions. Direct cars offered us very close to what we hoped for the trade in for our vehicle. Our trust in Direct Cars is such, that even though they're on the wrong side of Sheffield for us, we will only take our car there for it to be regularly serviced and MOT'd - because we know, they will do a thoroughly professional job.

I purchased my new car from yourselves, Shaun was very helpful and the transaction was very smooth. I had to take it for a repair after 2 days due to a slow puncture but the process was really good and sorted within the hour. I then picked up my new private plates which were kindly put on my car a few weeks later. Overall cannot fault Direct cars for service and communication.

I went to purchase a vehicle but decided to choose another car which I am very happy with. The salesman let us look at our leisure no pressure at all, but when I found a car I was interested in we felt that we didn't have his full attention as he was buzy with other customers so it didn't feel totally personnel but it is a buzy car showroom so expected. Overall I was happy with the service I received.

On entering the store we were greeted by a lovely customer service representative. We had everything explained to us how the store works etc. So off we went. My wife and I found a couple of cars we were interested in and got the keys. We explored the cars and found one we was interested in. On arriving back at the store we explained to the sales person what we wanted and everything went so smooth. From entering the building to leaving my wife and I was very happy with the service. Only down side we felt was the test drive of the vehicle I think it should be on the road and not just up and down the car park at the rear of the building but all in all a great experience.

Great to start until it came to collect the car. I was told any advisories found on the MOT would be actioned before collecting the car. I checked if this work had been completed twice before collection day, as we do not live close by. I was advised it had been and if there were any delays, I would’ve been informed. On arrival the colleague was very helpful, took me out to the car, when I noticed the advisories had not been completed as promised. We then had several discussions, I was told I could get a second opinion but they felt the work didn’t need doing. To then if you have any problems down the line ring us. I offered to get the work completed if the car was reduced, as it needed to be actioned. When they realised I would walk away and asked for a refund, the work was reluctantly carried out. We had to wait around for over two hours whilst this took place. My initial interactions were very good, however I was very disappointed at how we agreed on a something, to then be treated like it wasn’t that big a deal and not to worry about it. Had I known I would not have travelled to the garage. I understand it is a business and you need to make money, but promises should not be made and blatantly disregarded. We made a deal and you fell short. I also was told the only charge was a £99 fee, which included a valet. The car has glitter bits everywhere, it didn’t look any different to when I viewed it initially. I was also not told that the £99 was optional! There are also other things included I was not told about. What should have been a good experience was soured, I feel like I was misled. The car I’m happy with overall, just not how I was treated. Due to this I wouldn’t use again.

Hi, We are deeply sorry that you are very disappointed with your recent dealings with us and the mis-communication, please allow me to elaborate on the situation. When we are preparing the vehicles for collection if there is less than 6 months MOT remaining we will then provide a 12 month MOT and rectify the advisories that arise, in this situation the vehicle had 10 months MOT remaining so wasn't re-done by ourselves hence no advisories to rectify. The vehicle was serviced and extensively checked by our technicians, and deemed that no other work was needed, it appears that on the previous MOT there was an advisory that we felt may have been already rectified as we deemed it not necessary to do. On collection you mentioned that you wasn't entirely happy about this, so we mentioned we was happy for you to get a second opinion by another garage and if they deemed it necessary to carry out, we would be more than happy to pay for you to arrange this, again you still seemed unhappy with this response, so to save any more concern we said we would happily do the work to make sure you was fully satisfied, if you was happy to wait whilst we completed it, to which you agreed and was happy to do. We are also sorry to hear that the valet was not up to our usual very high standard and that you felt you was mis-led as you wasn't made fully aware that the £99 Pre-Delivery Package is optional. Once again we apologise wholeheartedly about this situation as we pride ourselves on customer satisfaction and that your initial great interaction was soured and we do hope you will try us again in the future. Despite this we are pleased to hear that you are happy with your new car overall and hope that you enjoy it for years to come.

The customer service was spot on, there was no pressure from the sales staff at all. When I asked about the car I was given the key for it to have a look round it on my own with no on looking over my shoulder. Excellent service, cheers Tom

This was the second time that we have used Direct Cars to purchase a new vehicle. On this occasion we were looking for a quality SUV to replace our two existing vehicles, after looking on their website we found a 69 plate Renault Koleos. When turning up to the dealership we were greeted as before by a gentleman by the name of Tom,who kindly provided the keys for the vehicle in question to view at our leisure (no pressure selling). We decided to purchase the said vehicle and finance was arranged with in a matter of minutes and an excellent part exchanged was agreed for our existing vehicles. On the day of collection the car was presented to us in excellent condition with all advisories that had been highlighted on the MOT been rectified by any parts required being replaced by new. i.e new tyres break discs and pads on this occasion. In summary a stress free car purchase dealt with by professional people with a long standing reputation which is well deserved. We would definitely be returning when the time comes to change our vehicle in the future.
