AB Car Sales

A great garage to deal with. I've had a car from them, my wife to and our 2 children. It's nice to buy a car knowing that you are in safe hands. 5 Stars from me and my family..

My family and I have been buying cars from A B Car Sales for over 10 years now. Great service from them. It's refreshing to go back and see the same staff there. Would definitely recommend. Great garage.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. AVOID!!!!! Please read all of this! I say this because I bought a van from them in September 2017, I write this in February 2018. On the phone they were courteous and friendly and even made a deal with me to drop the price slightly and include road tax. They did state that they don't usually deal in trade vehicles (vans etc) but found this to be a quality van for its mileage and got it from a dealer, to further reassure me of its quality. HOWEVER! Ever since the day after I drove it all the way home to Devon from Barry in Wales, I have had problem after problem. So far it's had wheel bearings on both front wheels replacing as well as one of the hubs for said wheel bearing. Yes, this could be down to wear and tear but myself and my mechanics feel strongly that they put in the cheapest bearings that they could find, knowing that they would soon wear out. After many phone calls to sort this out via the warranty they resolved to send me some money towards the cost of replacing it with a decent bearing so that I wouldn't have to haul it all the way up to them for them to replace it with another cheap bearing again. They clearly avoid cost wherever they can so long as they can get their cars or vans off the lot. After that they couldn't care less and I say this with CONFIDENCE now, because of the next event. The temperature gauge has been going up and down and all over since bringing it home and the heaters subsequently haven't been working at all. I found that all the water had been leaking somewhere from the coolant system so thought it would be a simple fix. But no! It turns out that this van has had NO THERMOSTAT in the engine all along. It had been cut out and therefore bypassed in order to avoid cost of replacing it. This has led to exhaust fumes leaking into the coolant system which has subsequently rusted out parts of the system, blocking pipes and overheating the engine. My mechanic is now having to take the whole engine apart to replace parts and test and check that everything is running as it should. Without this van I cannot run my gardening business and simply don't have the money to replace it or invest in a better one. I had to borrow from family just to buy this van from A B Car sales. So I am now left between a rock and a very, very hard place. Saves yourselves the trouble and DO NOT BOTHER WITH THESE PEOPLE.
