“NOT RECOMMENDED”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 24/07/2017

I would suggest that buyers approach this company with great caution. My experience has been that, at the last minute, they added additional charges to the listed purchase price of a car and also tried to trick me into buying unwanted additional warranties.

“Fantastic car and customer service!!! ”

★★★★★

written by Will.B on 09/03/2017

I've visited this dealership on a few occasions now, just browsing, and then recently bought a lovely BMW from them and I couldn't be happier.From reading all these negative reviews, I can confidently say that I disagree with all of them. People moaning about cars going wrong; yes it's a used car, it will go wrong, they all do eventually!! The guys there are all extremely friendly and patient, showing me around a few different models and explaining how they would benefit (or not benefit!) the type of usage my car would have. They aren't pushy in the slightest and are happy to show me what all the buttons do in the car itself.Definitely coming back here for my next car!

This has got to be the funniest fake review ever. Used car salesmen aren't exactly known for being the sharpest knifes but this guy wins by far. Writes a fake review and leaves his own name which he uses to sell cars on eBay under eltham4frontcarsales and is clearly a member of the team. Great work Eltham.

“Absolutely no customer service ”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 03/10/2016

Appalling customer service. None. Zero. The sales rep had no ownership over his own sales and had to refer everything past the manager. There was a severe lack of communication between the sales rep and manager. I was not given a call back when promised. No negotiation on price of the car and no negotiation on some drive away petrol in the tank. The car wasn't ready when I came to collect and after previously pointing out chips and cracked windscreen, their repair was in my opinion substandard. I suggested an independent inspection but the manager gave absolutely no consideration of the same. I would not recommend the branch at 5 Ways Mottingham. There was no consideration for the amount of money I wanted to spend with them and they made the whole customer experience turn on a pin head. I went from going to collect my car to walking away within 5 minutes as they were clearly not bothered about satisfying my concerns or my sale.

“Excellant company”

★★★★★

written by JonPritchard311 on 12/10/2015

Fantastic experience, despite feeling dubious based on other peoples reviews I decided to give them a go as they had the car I wanted and I must say that overall I cant fault them. Great selection of immaculate cars which are well presented, very friendly staff, and a great deal to top it off. Don't be swayed by others give them a go for your self.

“EXCELLANT EXPERIENCE!!!”

★★★★★

written by Leach329 on 24/07/2015

I bought My BMW form here 4 weeks ago and can honestly say that the overall service i received was top class.  the salesman was very welcoming and accomodating towards me and my family, he knew his stuff and more importantly the car is faultless. I would highly recommend this company and wiil certainly be back myself.

“Fantastic customer service and a great car. Very Happy!”

★★★★★

written by DWT88 on 01/11/2014

I am very fussy about customer service and would be the first to complain if things were not good.I can only speak for my own experience. I dealt with the Haywards Heath branch. The staff were very polite and kind. Nothing was too much trouble when it came to choosing a 4x4. My wife and I had a good look around the sales front and were given the keys to a number of cars to look in. The only proviso was not to start them up which I thought was reasonable. I am disabled so we wanted a car with easy access, comfortable seats and room for wheelchair etc. we finally settled on a Range Rover. The salesman has extensive experience of Land Rovers having worked at a Main Dealer. The only thing wrong with the car was a misted up rear offside lamp cluster and it had 5 months MOT. Te salesman got the light cluster replaced and a new MOT was put on it. It passed with no advisories. As we were in holiday, it was about 5 weeks before we collected the car. We were trusted to pay the balance when we said we would (about 3 weeks after putt g a deposit down). The car was absolutely immaculately prepared when we went to collect it. I am very impressed with the company and the car. The company was a pleasure to do business with and the car is fantastic.I hope that others have a similar experience.

“I LOVE MY CAR!!!!!”

★★★★★

written by on 20/09/2014

I recently see a mercedes advertised on the internet which was at 4front car sales, I enquired about the car on the phone and arranged a viewing and test drive .Upon arrival I was amazed at how many cars were at this garage and near enough all in order and well presented. I was greeted by the salesman who then showed me the mercedes ,the car looked amazing and was exactly what I was looking for and colour I wanted,there was no hard sell or pressure which I have found previously at other garages, and in next to no time I was driving off in my new car very happy :), a big thankyou to all the staff at 4front car sales for making the whole process so easy. That deserves 5 stars.

“Half Ar$ed Service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Lyonshh206 on 01/08/2014

I brought a meriva in September as I had just had a baby and needed something with more room. Within a week of having it, the engine developed a strange noise, which when I took it to a trusted friend, turned out to be the timing chain. I was quoted £600+ for a new one so I took it back to 4front and after much sighing and eye rolling they booked it in. I was made to feel like I was putting them out, by wanting my car to run smoothly... I didn't trust them at all after this, as I was told you can make the engines quieter (by using a thicker oil) which i feel is obviously what they had done to make the sale. I was told my car had 2 previous owners, the log book said 4. A bare faced lie in anyone's book. Also, it wasn't until the sale was complete that I saw the key that I was apparently meant to accept. It was falling apart and didn't even work. I complained and they eventually arranged to replace the chip and cover. This meant another trip back to them. The mobile 'key man' approached me for payment and was promptly redirected to the office. I had to wait a week for the parcel shelf and must have heard every excuse in the book as to why this was. Overall I would not trust this company and have since heard other bad reviews. They just want your money and for you to leave quietly. I advise everyone I know, who is looking to buy a used car to go elsewhere. I've just brought a new car from the ford showroom, just up the road and wish I had used this more professional company from the start.

“A Great Car ”

★★★★☆

written by Hotspur5 on 15/07/2014

I purchased a BMW X5 back in December, I thought I would have the car for a good few months before posting a honest review of the Vehicle. When I first bought the car I did have a problem with the battery it died and I'm not sure if the battery was faulty or maybe just needed a good charge but I changed it for a new one anyway just to be on the safe side. I must say apart from that the Car is a great motor, I haven't had any problems at all and I did have a new MOT only about 3 werks ago and the mechanic gave the car a full inspection and even commented on how good the condition of the car was, so my only experience with 4Front is a pretty good one and I would proberly buy another car from them if this one is anything to go by.

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND, EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!”

★★★★★

written by Sanai312 on 12/07/2014

Went to the BMW site and can honestly say that the service I received from the advisor was outstanding, he had all the time in the world for me with nothing being to much trouble. His knowledge was great and his interaction with my family was phenominal making us all a part of the sale. We did end up buying a car and would definitely recommend to anyone, all of the cars were well presented and immaculate, really spoilt for choice. Thanks again we will be back!

“Unbelievably bad mannered salesman, who just lost a sale!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Rod10 on 26/05/2014

On a rainy Bank Holiday Monday, we arrived to test-drive, and hopefully buy, a Land Rover Freelander. The salesman unlocked the car and immediately asked, "Are you looking to buy today because if not, I would rather go and have dinner with my wife. I want to close in 20 minutes." With £5k in cash in my pocket, we politely told him we would also like him to go - and we would also like to go - and spend our money where the sales people have a modicum of decency and are intelligent enough to understand the really basic importance of customer service. The guy gives car dealers a bad name and is a complete clown... Avoid this place like the plague!

“Arrogant”

★☆☆☆☆

written by danford107 on 11/03/2014

Visited the dealers near Handcross near Horsham in search of a new car for my family. This place does nothing for the bad reputation that used car salesman have. The dealers are arrogant stuck up and not interested in your money unless you walking in there with money falling out of your pockets. I have never come across such a bad example of customer service. If you don't want someones business fair enough but you don't have to treat someone badly. I really hope the new road kills off this business as we don't need this kind of business in the area. If you want good service and to be treated like a person rather than dirt steer well clear of this place.

Drhughes's Response to danford107's Review

Written on: 30/03/2014

I fully agree with you. I went there today with the family as we are looking at a Q7. When I went into the office and asked to have a look at the Q7 and the GL class merc the member of staff asked are you buying today, which I responded probably not as I want to have a look, his response to that is shocking " you can have a quick look but that's all as Saturday and Sunday are sales days, if your buying then its ok as we shut at 4pm" This was 3:30pm when I asked. I responded in that case I won't buy from here, he responded "that's fine unless your buying as we have spent £50k on advertising" which I have no idea what relevance this has to do with me and why he. Felt the need to inform me of this. I stated you must be the owner then, in other words any member of any companies staff that could speak to customers in this manner surely is not good for any business. When he responded he was, I very happily shook my head in disgust and calmly left. calmly because I can take great satisfaction in knowing that this company 4 front cars will not take a penny of our money, I won't have to worry about the poor quality of their cars and poor after sales service that certainly would follow suit after such a charming sales technique.

I also agree with your comment on the new road if the new 6 foot fence on the a23 doesn't put them out of business then it will certainly shield the general public from the sheer arrogance and poor business etiquette that this company proudly display.

My concern is for customers who purchase from this company who must be treated in a better manner than myself, the likely hood of this company surviving in my opinion is low so if you receive warranty from this company I would check the legal entity of the companies as I would assume they are separate within their group which means that you will be left with a worthless warranty.

For me, I will stick with a good reputable chain from now on for peace of mind and who don't obviously judge you when you walk in.

“Don't bother!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Al9021 on 11/12/2013

I have been in the market for a new car and was hoping to get one before Christmas so my family and I could travel and visit other family members over the holiday period. I found 4Front on Google and thought I'd go and have a look. It was a sheer waste of my time. They had hardly any cars in stock at all and the ones they did have looked like they'd been in the wars! The sales man I encountered wasn't interested in what I was after, he was more concerned with selling me any old car for his monthly commission. Rude staff, no car choice and damaged cars. Just don't bother wasting your time with these jokers!
