The company that tried to charge me extra for Metallic Paint on a used car, would never use again.. to add to that you had to sit down and do a deal with them before they would allow you to test drive the car..... hope they have stopped that poor customer service practice !

Dreadful company employing the kind of hard sell tactics even the motor industry is moving away from. Beware!

Ha that's ridiculous. I remember going myself once, I do a lot of research before buying a car and worked out exactly what to expect for my trade in, how much to pay for the 'new' used car I was looking at and what my monthly cost would be including interest. They came back to me about £70 a month more expensive than I was expecting totalling about 3k, I looked at the paperwork to see they had added about 1.5k in things like fee's, extras and warranties without mentioning it, and were offering about 1.5k less for my car than I expected. I pointed them out to be told it was top price for my car and most of what they added on couldn't be removed. I basically told them I had worked it out and what I was willing to pay at which point they sent over the 'manager' to tell me how I was expecting waayy to much for my car and that his car was the best I would get at the best price yet regardless he 'made a phone call' and would knock £20 off the monthly cost if I left a deposit that day as a one chance only type thing while his boss was away. I left and got a call the next day offering me another £10 off if I would come and buy that day. Never had such pushy tactics used on me before and I didn't like it. I'm not stupid but (I know, that's what all stupid people say :P) before leaving I actually felt like they were doing a lot for me and that it was a good deal and almost bit.. it wasn't until going home and thinking about it that I realised just how awful it was. I'd avoid like the plague.

Was in a branch once for two hours (trade-in for new) and had my debit card on the table to pay the deposit. Their price worked out at eg £8,060. My final price was £8,000. I said I would not pay above this. Lots of two and fro on their behalf. But I ended up not buying for the sake of £60. I got the impression the salesman was furious with his boss. In his eyes he wasted two hours with me. A few days later I went to another branch, and everything was identical and they excepted £8,000. They are not called Arnold Shark for nothing.

I did this for the hotel stay last year and again for the £50 Pizza Express voucher recently and this week had another test drive for the latest hotel stay. I can honestly say that I have never had a problem with them - if anything, quite the opposite.
