Bishopton Car Centre, Bishopton

I bought what I thought was a beautiful range rover sport 2008 with 58000 miles for £ 21.995. After 2 washes the car showed multiple stone chips and scratches which had been covered over with polish. Next got suspension fault and had to replace the 2 front air struts which were corroded. Next one of the brand new callipers he had fitted had to be replaced after collapsing. Next the rear anti roll bar was also corroded which needed to be replaced, next the rear brake pipes were corroded and needed to be replaced. What next? Would you believe I've only owned this car for 4 months and only done 1300 miles. This rot never set in within that short period. Emailed the guy but no response

Sold me a car with a massive engine fault. returned to me 4 times telling me it was fixed each time, with the last time just posting the keys through my door when we were out (still with the same fault. e.g engine overheating). Very rude, they dont care once they have your cash, but weirdly enough they start squirming when you mention trading standards? hmm Save your money and avoid at all costs.

Got to bishopton car centre and the guy had parked the car round the corner he took me for a test drive in it( WHICH HE DROVE BACK TO BISHOPTON CAR CENTRE) Got the car home and now it wont start the electric locking works when it wants to work, had a look in the fuse box encase one of the fuses had blown and there was a wire coming from somewhere behind the dash and it was stuffed in with one of the fuses. I have tried to phone bishopton car centre for some help( I KNOW I WONT GET MY MONEY BACK) and advice on the problems with the car. No one will answer my call, even sent a text to the guy not even had the decency to reply Probably going to cost a small fortune to get fixed. Plus now I have to replace the battery another £100. MY ADVICE TO ANYONE READING THIS REVIEW STEER WELL CLEAR OF THIS PLACE.

Bought a BMW 5 series a few months back with low miles, car was as described and been very reliable so far. Initially had issues with an engine maanagement light, however the two young chaps froms the garage came to my house with a machine read the codes and it was shown to be an 02 sensor on the exhaust. They took the car away for half a day and it was returned and fixed as promised.

My car was £1400 for a 2003 5 series, for the money its not a bad car

We bought a shogun challenger in May for £1500 from this crew . M.O.T is now due and hey ho 3 pages of major faults - mostly chassis related ( test centre cannot believe the body is actually attached to the chassis ) . Everything is either heavily corroded or has holes in . We have been driving about with my disabled cousin in what is essentially a death trap . These guys ought to be shot and trust me if there was a way i would haul them into court purely for the safety issues arising form this . Estimate to repair is £800 . So it has gone to breaker land as it simply is not ecconomical to spend the money on . Not only do these guys smile as they take your money they shake your hand as they watch you drive to a potentially fatal accident . Hindsight is a wonderful thing which unfortuantely always arrives too late . As someone else noted they do not put their business name or address on the bill of sale which should have set alarms ringing for me . If they had i would be speaking to trading standards because the corrosion / holes etc has been going on for years and didn't suddenly happen in the 10 months since we purchased and that would be evident to trading standards . At some point Karma will hit them with a major liability case i just hope there are no fatalities first . Please folks guard your safety and keep your money in your pockets with this gang of criminals - yes that's what you are and you will be prosecuted im certain by someone in the future .

total men,AKA wide boys,nothing to do with the honest people of bishopton

they fake up market cars as private sales /check e.bay for how mutch of a fake wide boy operation they are. TOTAL NO NO.

This garage gave me great service and gave me the option to buy the car i wanted even when i was £300 SHORT they still gave me the car and let me come in a month later to pay the balance.

Bought a £2300 car - part exchanging my very reliable mechanical sound smaller car i found out one month later new car was only worth region £1300!! I accepted I had been ripped off and that I should have researched before buying anywho now only 3mths later the car is undrivable and I've had a quote for repairs - car wont start needs new cam shaft, plugs and coil and replacement of dodgy cylinders with low compression of £700!!! Very disappointed and disgusted at this dealer ripping me off! Money for me is hard to come by and im now car less waiting for the car to be repaired alongside a bill of £700 I've been told by other dealers I would get around £500 part exchange for this car in place of a new one after repairs!!! Wish I had seen the other reviews For this place before buying as it seems most people have same problem with cars not lasting I did find customer service very good but that counts for nothing when you end up with a dodgy broken car :( save your money and go elsewhere

Db1989 is an employee of the garage and his review should be removed or ignored as it is clearly an attempt to improve this garages AWFUL rating.

The cars at this garage are all bought from auction or are the unwanted trade ins and MOT failures from other garages. I would go as far to say nothing on the forecourt is worth more than £1000. I wouldn't trust them to do any work on a car as everything they do is either a con or a bodge. MOT's seem to be on a nod and a wink basis. The salesmen are unhelpful, uncommunicative, dismissive and extremely rude. They are also liars and fraudsters as other people have stated.

Steer WELL clear of these con men if you value the cash in your bank. Cannot stress this enough.

****DB1989 IS AN EMPLOYEE OF THIS GARAGE AND YOU SHOULD IGNORE HIS REVIEW****

They don't put the company name on their website, nor on the bill of sale, and what they sell is good-looking cr@p. Nobody locally buys from them, and not should you. Give these 'wide boys' a wide berth.
