Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Good Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.

You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Peugot Rifter GT line Automatic 2019 12600 miles 1 previous owner

"After weeks of researching different MPVs, we decided on our perfect vehicle, which then led us to researching different garages to source from.
Robert Black came out tops for everything ,so we decided to take a trip out.
We found the perfect car for us, a Peugot Rifter that ticked all the boxes and happened to be £3000 cheaper than Arnold Clark for similar so after arranging for a test drive and demonstration with Arron, we were delighted and wanted to drive the vehicle home there and then. Arron explained that even though the peugot had just been serviced and MOTd in January they always do their own. They also do a full valet, so We went to collect our Peugot 3 days later and it had 3 new tyres !and was gleaming.
The transaction was hassle free, the staff know exactly what they're doing .Thank you Arron, we will be coming back for servicing every year(hope thats ok ) , we trust your Garage.

Skoda Octavia, 32124 miles, 2016,

"I'd been looking for an Octavia for a while, when I saw this one advertised I didn't hang around. It looked great and price was good but I knew nothing about the garage and I wasn't going to be able to visit it. My brother asked some work colleagues if they knew the garage, everything was super positive so I called and put a deposit down. Any questions were answered promptly and handover was arranged and carried out quickly and efficiently. 3 month warranty provided as I live a distance away. Car was in immaculate condition. Would definitely recommend."

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 2015. Low mileage.

"Put a deposit down on this car last week and asked the dealer if he’d be able to keep it until I could travel down, was not an issue. Travelled yesterday and was not disappoint, arrived at the dealership, done all relative paperwork and was driving away in my new car less than an hour later! The man that dealt with me was very polite and patient, absolutely no hard sale and didn’t hassle me whilst looking around the car. Outstanding garage & customer service. Will definitely use again in future."
