Affordable Car Center Opiniões 

Affordable Car Centre (New Rd, Great Barford, Bedford MK44 3LH)
I would not recommend Affordable Car Centre based on my experience.

After buying a car from them, it broke down twice on the motorway with the engine management light coming on. Both times, the vehicle had to be recovered, causing a great deal of stress and inconvenience.

The clutch has also failed, and I've experienced problems with the brakes. The total cost of repairs has now exceeded £4,000.

What has been most disappointing is that, despite these serious issues occurring after only around 500 miles of driving, the dealer has claimed they are simply "wear and tear" and has refused to take responsibility.

I expected a car to be safe, reliable, and roadworthy when I bought it. Instead, I've been left with expensive repair bills and a very frustrating experience. I would encourage anyone considering buying from Affordable Car Centre to do their research before making a purchase.

They have multiple fake reviews on there google page putting them at 4 starts if i did my due diligence and check trust piolt this would have shown there true colours as they are at 2.2 start

Please do not buy any cars from this place the owner is a con man

upon purchasing a car for my daughter we immediately had problems with the vehicle, the engine light came on the day after purchase, we took the car back 3 times to have this fixed ..to no avail
the air con doesn't work - so we aske for this to be rectified, again we were promised this was fixed & still doesn't work, when called to discuss we were told this is a serviceable item and just because the advert says air con it doesn't mean it works ..... avoid ..avoid ....avoid

Very happy with my first car purchased through this dealership

Avoid this dealership they are mis selling, Don't buy a corolla WF74FKV it is a ex taxi which was confirmed on a HPI report and also by the council it was licensed by but this garage said I am mistaken and once I sent a screenshot of the email from the council they stopped replying.

I'm glad I looked at these reviews was going to purchase a car but I think not I bet the good reviews are people who know the owner

Do NOT give this COWBOY a PENNY! Deposit was paid for car in good faith, car history was a lie, I therefore requested a refund due to “Breach of Contract” fobbed off & refund NEVER received!
How do you sleep at night?

AVOID
Was told that if I decided there was something wrong with the car I would get deposit back. He failed to mention it was written off a year ago and was category S WHICH IS ILLEGAL he is now not answering calls or text messages

Warning about these apes .stay away .cars with modified mileage

be aware at fake mileage on these cars

Brought a ford focus from these in 07/02. Less than 3 months later the car is not fit for purpose at all. On the drive home from Bedford to Loughborough, the engine light came on. I contacted affordable cars about the issue and they asked me to get a diagnostics test on the car which I did costing £99. After the diagnostics test showing a serious fault, I contacted affordable cars who then tried to fob me off saying it was an oxygen sensor causing the fault without having even seeing the car. When I pushed back, affordable cars took the car back to Bedford and brought it back to me saying there is an issue with the head gasket which they have since fixed. Fast forward 2 months till now, the car has only been driven very short journeys due to me not having obtaining my licence until today (30/04) I took the car for a drive yesterday to keep the battery working and pulled up on the side of the road, when I tried to put the car into gear, it wouldn’t go in at all. I had to do a manual restart to put the car into gear. This happened again and again. I contacted affordable cars to try to rectify the issue and they have been ignorant at best. They asked me to contact a warranty company who turned around and told me that they might reject the car due to the fault being caused wear and tear!!! I have driven less that 100 miles since buying the car in February because as previously stated, I only obtained my full licence today! They have sold a car not fit for purpose and are now choosing to ignore me. Under the consumer rights act 2015, I have the right to reject the car due to 2 serious fault within such a short period of time. Enough is enough now. I will be taking this further!
AVOID AT ALL COSTS, THEY ARE JUST REPAIRING CARS ENOUGH TO GET THEM OUT THE DOOR KNOWING THEY'RE NOT FOT FOR PURPOSE. Now I’ll do everything in my power to get my 6 grand back. Please think twice before ever using this company

Mis sold a car stating it had full service history when in fact it hadn't had a service in 5 years.
I have given them the opportunity to partial refund or provide me with the full service history.. have been ignored. Will take them to court to claim money back if they do not respond and resolve the matter.

The car also had unpaid finance which I am still unsure has been paid off. They have not confirmed if it has.

I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this place at all costs. The lack of professionalism, honesty, and basic customer care is shocking. Save yourself the stress, time, and money—go somewhere that actually values its customers.

Bought a Corsa for my son's first car and on the day of delivery an engine management fault came on. They collected the following day and rectified but returned the vehicle covered in mud and both footwellls dirty. On contact they claimed it was as they had recieved it which was untrue. The delivery driver managed to damage the front bumper by recklessly driving too fast off the delivery vehicle. This was clipped back in but the following day I had it thoroughly inspected by my local garage who advised the front crash bar was badly damaged and needed replacing. In addition the front headligh bracket was snapped and therefore the light was out of alignment and rear high level brake light wasnt working. I advised all of these faults and was told they weren't covered under warranty. It will now cost me £300 to get fixed which is something I would have expected to have been picked up in the service they claimed to have undertaken just before I bought the vehicle. Not a good experience and a level of dishonesty. Be very careful when buying from this place as they are misleading in their descriptions.

do not buy from this place - they sell you a car which is damaged and will not fix it. We bought a car for my partners sons 17th so meant to be a special occasion, and they damaged the car on delivery, it had an engine management fault, and on further inspection they have damaged the underneath, and the light fitting is broken, they refuse to repair (apart from the engine light) and offered £150 to remove reviews but wont cover the cost of repairs of damage they caused. They even returned the car absolutely dirty inside, its appalling.

Avoid. Bought a car from here that had issues from the start. After their 'fix' didn't work we asked for a refund or exchange on the car. They asked for another opportunity to fix it and promised a refund if they couldn't. After taking it back three times (it might have even been four!), we told them we weren't confident in their 'fixes' as we were still having issues and wanted a refund. At this point, we were still in our warranty period, yet they flat out refused a refund and told us the car was 'fine'. We took it to get a diagnosis from two different garages who both immediately knew what the issue was. It cost us £2100 to fix, which unfortunately we had to pay as we now couldn't sell the car on without making a massive loss. Will be taking this company to court.

Absolute waste of time. Despite a conversation and agreeing I'd go see the car that day, 1.5 hour trip later they had already sold it when I got there. No thought to have common courtesy and contact me to avoid a 3 hour round trip. They even denied calling me after my online enquiry via Autotrader despite having the evidence of the call on my phone. The rave about award winning customer service, yeah award for the worst customer service. Avoid, avoid.

I am utterly disgusted with the experience I’ve had at Affordable Car Centre. I bought a vehicle on finance from them, and within DAYS of driving it off the lot, it started losing 1 litre of coolant every two days. A major fault like that makes the car completely unsafe and unreliable. I returned it under my legal right to reject within 30 days as per the Consumer Rights Act 2015, expecting a straightforward resolution. Instead, I’ve been met with nothing but unethical behavior and financial bullying.

They promised to repair the car and provide a courtesy vehicle, but even after rejecting it due to the severity of the issue, they’ve refused to properly unwind the finance agreement. The finance company took a payment of £450 from me despite the rejection, and Affordable Car Centre had the audacity to demand £1,000 to cancel the agreement—a fee that has ZERO legal basis. This is outright extortion. I’ve made it clear I won’t pay a penny of their unlawful demands, and I’ve already raised this with the finance provider under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

This dealership’s conduct is predatory and shameful. They’re banking on customers not knowing their rights and are willing to exploit people financially over faulty vehicles. I’ve given them a chance to resolve this professionally, but if they don’t, I’m fully prepared to escalate this to the Financial Ombudsman Service, report them to the Financial Conduct Authority, and pursue legal action to recover my money.

To anyone considering buying from Affordable Car Centre: RUN. Don’t risk your money or safety with a dealership that sells defective cars and then tries to strong-arm you into paying unlawful fees when you exercise your legal rights. I’m sharing my story to warn others—steer clear of this place unless you want a nightmare on your hands.

Avoid at all costs I bought a car here and it was a cat s this was not told was not in the description, only found out when I received the log book, after that it was all down hill from that point, battery went, it had a massive oil leak then the turbo went, all in all a waste of money and I need a car for work... had to then buy another car from a reputable dealer! Dodgy mot, trading standards were contacted and they were well known to them, they were called in told off.... and still continue to trade despite ripping people off! Stay well away!

Do not place a deposit unless you are sure you can complete the sale, because you will not see your deposit again!
Even after numerous emails enquiring the return of my deposit i had no response from the owner!

Dont buy a car from this garrage they sell damaged cars and pass them off as undamaged buyer be very aware!
