“Do not buy from here”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 09/10/2015

Went to view a car here recently advertised online as great condition the list of issues i discovered upon viewing the car were quite extensive, upon trying to knock the price down a bit due to these problems the sales assistant there was snappy and rude, when i arrived i asked to view the car in question he brought over the keys then just walked away had no intention of sticking around to answer any questions i had and what questions i had,i was given less than helpful responses. All in all bad car, bad customer service and avoid.

written by Kieraj469 on 20/03/2015

I found this place on autotrader and got fooled by the name. rang up about a cilo said it was at garage ready to have a look at, then I arrived at the place about 30 mins after I rang only to find out car weren't there it was being resprayed at garage close by. so then the guy without even introducing himself asks me to take me to garage (im the customer now who been told car was there ready) I agreed took him down explained it needed a touch up here and there, had god look car seemed alright couldn't test drive it tho which was another sign of it being dogdey but I liked the car so paid 200 deposit on the contract of having the car ready on the Saturday ( it was a Tuesday) they agreed signed and left half happy that got the car but not I couldn't drive it or the customer service. so I then decieded to google the place and found this website and the reviews, got on the phone to the newly named "cars for you barry ltd" and asked to explained themselves they said all new staff and new woman director which fooled me and I proceed with buying the car. but come Saturday the car was not ready and was told they were never going to get it ready for then ring back Monday they said, I was tamping they broke agreement I needed car for work. I waited til Monday car weren't ready still again waiting another day til tuesday, took the mick so I asked for my deposit back and they went to be really aggressive having the 2 guys ringing me up being abuses the one car threating down the phone. I pulled out of the deal and lost my 200 pound they would not give it back !! after a little more research the car they I almost brought was off the road for 4 years no tax or mot since sep 11 and the guy told me it just ran out !!what a mug what a bunch of ******* please do not go and read these reviews it all the same person /garage . hired a 25 year woman to be head director but you cant speak to her . STAY AWAY ROBBING HORRIBLE NASTY LYING VILE HUMAN BEINGS

“AVOID”

★☆☆☆☆

written by ckCarey324 on 06/05/2014

The majority of cars sold at this car dealership are category Cs nd Ds They do not fix these cars properly. I was given my car infact faulty and within hours I contacted them. They were not willing to fix it or take car back...This car dealership changes they're business name often and they are famous on the ferret. Avoid avoid avoid unless u want ur car being towed on the back of a recovery truck permanently

“WARNING avoid at all costs!!!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 15/09/2012

Hi I have dealings with this man (I am in the small claim's court) with Cars R Us (Barry) Ltd 182-190 Barry Rd Barry who also operated a branch from Maesteg Rd Tondu Bridgend. However Cars R Us (Barry) are currently active but waiting to be 'struck off' due to not filing annual accounts (he has a history of doing this and a string of companies over last 5 years at same addresses). However since the 11th June 2012 the Maesteg branch became Auto Solutions (Wales) Ltd and the director of the new company is also registered to Barry address under Trade Price Cars Limited. During the course of my court case against Cars R Us (Barry) Ltd there have been several problems - 1st they have used every loophole to delay proceedings for example not responding to orders then asking for judgement to be set aside due to admin issues then not responding again! The judge in my case noticed the discrepancies in the receipts and letters I had and has now added the owner personally as the 2nd defendant because he signed these documents that did not provide limited company details as required by law. It's emerged that he is well known to the Ferrit and Trading Standards he was convicted last year for selling unsafe cars (NB despite company changes the stock appears to be the same)VOG trading standards gave a public announcement about this last March and the local Barry paper stated he has 49 convictions for offenses such as dishonesty fraud and even perjury. I and many others are currently part of Bridgend's trading standards court case against him and I cannot stress enough to spend your money elsewhere! Regards Angela Turner-Jone

I have been led here by investigation to a similar scam with the same MO being a series if registered businesses operating under (name removed) with water pump related websites such as rainwatertankpumps. Are there any connections of similarities in this that you are aware of?

Hi I have just bought a car off this garage Barry, we have had problems with the car and I said to him I had seen all the comments a d he said it wasn't him!!! I threatened to take it further Or a full refund, he agreed to make the wrongs right, I go to pick up the car tonight for my 24 yr old son who has only just passed his test, he assured me that the car is good and he is putting things right? My husband is in the army and he turned up at the garage in uniform is this the only reason he is putting things right? Is he still lying, should I get a full refund taking a friend of the family in a important position with me, any body got any answers please, don't know what to do ? Don't want my son to be in danger after reading the reports on this garage and owner ??

A piece of rubbish does not cost £1700. I am yet another customer that bought one of the fantastic cars from this dealer, or as it is called now "Auto Solutions Wales". Turned out to be a faulty car from day one, and it should never have passed an M.O.T.

“307”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 10/09/2011

after ringing them up after my email was not replyed to it took 3.30 minuits to get an answer from them , so i drove 3 hrs only to be told someone had took the keys home, they knew i was coming to see a 307.when they did get the keys a cement mixer would have started better. in first and 2 gear it would only rev to 3000 rpm, i never lifted the bonnet, if this is the sort of firm that you want do deal with ( BEWARE ) IT ONLY COST ME 60 QUID IN FUEL it could have been a lot more , i wish i had seen your review before i went,.........

written by on 15/04/2011

Hmm, I'm not surprised. This company was known as Trade Price Cars, Barry. Who are notorious crooks. The owner was prosecuted on March 17th 2011 for selling Cat D insurance right off. I brought a car from him 2 years ago, which had the wrong plates on and wrong tax for the car. Stay well clear. God knows how he keeps trading. It's a mystery.

Trade Price Cars is only one of several names used within the company. Have now given up getting my money back. Fair trade union and other instances in this county are worthless. No help at all and still keeps people like this crook on their "good" register.

“BMW 745i ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mmigran on 24/03/2011

BMW 745i
Buying the car posed no problems whatsoever. It's the after service that is the issue with this dealer.
As I live in Cornwall it was agreed that any claims under warranty could be sorted here, rather than taking the car back to Cardiff area. In agreement I was to pay for a part of the bill, i.e. diagnostics and they would pay for repairs.
On the way home the car developed a misfire that turned out to be air mass meter failure.
Had meter changed and paid for diagnostics and bill was sent from the workshop to the dealer. Payment never materialised and I had to pay the bill myself to attain creditability with the workshop.
Numerous phone calls and letters seem not to get their attention at Cars 'R' Us.
On every occasion I phoned, I got an employee at the other end, claiming to "only" just having started working there and the dealer not being around.
I have now waived goodbye to my £300+ pounds and carry on with my life.
DO NOT BUY FROM THESE CROOKS. AFTER SERVICE NON EXISTENT.
