    Great service

    By Helen Louise B on 23 March 2018 | Verified purchase

    Looking for a car at short notice and 1st Gear Motors were a great help in getting MOT sorted in time for me to drive it away. The after sales care has also been really good, very helpful and they go above and beyond to get the job done

    A pleasant way to buy a car.

    By Charles S on 16 March 2018 | Verified purchase

    The owner of 1st Gear was polite and helpful. He even picked me up at the station because I had travelled some distance to view the car. His premises was clean and tidy there were several other cars for sale. He said he sold a lot of low mileage ones. The car I chose to buy was exactly as advertised and had a full service history. The owner handled the purchase details effeciently and kept me informed every step of the way including the necessary licencing requirements. These he managed to organise for me online. I had spoken to my motor insurance company in advance and after confirmation from them I drove my new car away a very satisfied customer. I highly recommend 1st Gear.

    Very accommodating and pleasant experience

    By DAVID N on 27 February 2018 | Verified purchase

    The seller opened a little later to allow a midweek test drive which was very handy. The seller was pleasant, knowledgable and I felt confident buying from them based on how the guy spoke about cars.

    Average at best

    By Anonymous on 02 July 2024 | Purchase not verified

    Usual questionable 2nd hand car garage .Promises the world to get the sale then only does half of what’s agreed . Promised a full service and some issues fixed before we picked up the car .Got home no washer fluid , old oil , coolant was brown sludge , AC doesn’t work .Rang them to ask what’s gone on got told no one in the uk uses AC , oils not black so they won’t change that and they don’t check coolant on a service . Offered to replace the “water” but by this point didn’t trust the work . Had a full service at another garage the system needed a full flush not just replacement coolant ,the car had various little issues that will need looking at in the next few months . Have done less than 100miles and has cost extra few hundred pounds

    Fantastic Service!!!

    By Humza Z on 17 October 2023 | Purchase not verified

    I would highly recommend 1st Gear Motors!!!I bought my first car from them just over 3 weeks ago. Now I am driving it daily and its running fantastic.I spoke to Faz who was very helpful, as well as Shaheen. They did a fresh MOT and helped me sort out my vehicle tax.On the day of me receiving my car, Faz noticed a slight issue with the brake pads. He let me know ASAP, and sorted the issue out and delivered my car. If your looking for great customer service and great quality cars then look no further than 1st gear motors!

    First car

    By Jas M on 14 April 2022 | Purchase not verified

    Faz & his staff were brilliant, on the purchase of my first car just after passing my test. They checked the car over, replacing a few things before i came to collect it. Brilliant and friendly, would definitely recommend!

    Had a great experience overall. Really well informed and ended up finding a lovely little car that I adore. My mam thinks she will even be returning when she needs a new car as we had such a great experience with the dealer he was super helpful and friendly with a great little bunch of cars to choose from.

    Excellent customer experience

    By Trevor W on 27 July 2021 | Purchase not verified

    No pressure and friendliness from faz was great customer service..unfortunately the car did develop a clutch problem but was immediately fixed and a courtesy car offered..would definitely recommend a visit if needing a second hand motor.
