SJH Used Cars

If I could give a 0 Review I would, I Bought a car for £12995, I looked at the reviews from SJH and went for it, 3 months later complete disaster. Days after getting the car the battery went dead, and the reversing camera stopped working, this is still on going, the drivers door dropped badly. Two months in, very little mileage done, took it to a garage to be assessed for concerning whining problems, to find the rear tyre was badly cracked ,Second tyre delaminating, and advised discs pads had around 500 miles roughly and to replace them. I took it to another garage where they said the same thing. I wanted the car perfect and paid for it, The car was still making slight whining noises. February called AA , they came out and said possible gearbox. I took it to a gearbox specialist, where it was diagnosed gearbox failure, and cost of rebuild £5,000. Shaun, the owner, 2 days later said it was out of warranty and didn’t know where to go with it. The warranty only covers £500 and is third party not with them. This was not explained correctly to me when purchasing the car be very careful I have rang and sent messages . No response, I have never been treated like this before buying a car it’s shocking. The car was not fit for purpose from day 1, the car should not have passed the m.o.t It’s not a show room as advertised on there website. I should have and wish I had walked away. 15.7.23 Update to Sjh comments underneath. Shaun has now paid a contribution of £ 2000 out of the total price £4400 I will put this down to a very costly experience. In total the car cost me £3000 out of my own pocket to put it back on the road.

Please please please do not buy from this dealership. Sold me a car that broke within 24 hours. They took it back to the garage to “fix it”. Again, within 24 hours, faulty. Took it back “fixed it” - halfway home, engine light on. Back to the garage for more of their “fixing” - still not fixed. Then we are told that we damaged it and they would not be repairing it or accepting the return of the car. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. Please, save yourself the stress and the money. **edited to add: after asking me to message them, presumably so it was private and not on ratings, they have ignored messages and not offered any way forward.
