EXCELLENT Based on 89 reviews Posted on Karolina BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. EDIT: as a quick response to DC’s comments. Damaging someone’s reputation is not on my agenda. I have the right to speak on my experience, which has been poor to say the least. If someone is omitting the facts, it’s not me. My review speaks for itself. PLEASE READ before you purchase a car from this dealer. I bought a Ford Ka from DC at the end of November 2024. All looked good on paper, the car had a clear MOT, full-service book, low millage and had no obvious physical faults. We went for a test drive, and it drove okay. The first red flag came up as we were going to make the payment. We were told that we cannot use a credit card, and they only accepted a bank transfer. PLEASE do not purchase a car via a transfer – credit card gives a layer of protection to the customer – something DC clearly does not endorse. The second red flag was the contract he asked me to sign. At the time of purchase, I did not read fully scrutinize the contract as I assumed it would have followed the standard UK customer law, unfortunately, I am not certain his contract protects the consumer. More red flags came soon after. The day after I purchased the car, I noticed a strong fuel smell coming into the cabin of the car. At first, I thought it was the cars around me, but soon after I realised that the problem was specific to my car. I contacted the dealer who only offered a complimentary exam at a garage in Glasgow without any reassurance that the problem will be fixed. Mind, I am based in Edinburgh and was not allowed to bring it to a local garage, instead, I had to drive it all the way back to Glasgow for his “trusted garage”. As advised by Consumer Advice Scotland, if the car is faulty and the issue appeared within the first 6 months after purchase it is assumed that this problem started prior to purchase, and the dealer should get the car delivered to them at their own expense (not me driving to them) and fix it. On top of that, a couple of weeks after, one of the tyres started going flat, I replaced the tyres but noticed all tyres started going flat again. Turns out, the tyres rims were so rusty that they were unable to fully seal and remain inflated. I have asked if Darsons would pay for new rims as this is a pre-existing issue but this has been met with silence so far. Then, a few weeks after that, the car completely stopped working – the car’s starter motor exploded. I had to pay for the car to be towed to a local garage as the car couldn’t even start. The starter motor was only partially covered by the warranty by Darsons. The garage also informed me that my clutch was faulty and needed repairs, unfortunately, I paid for this entirely myself as the warranty did not cover. Ultimately, I had to pay for a brand-new clutch as the clutch was so badly damaged despite me buying the car less than 4 months ago at that point. I informed the dealer of all these issues, but his lack of cooperation forced me to take this into my own hands. In order to fix the fuel smell, multiple things were considered including problems with the clutch – I have fixed it but with no success – the smell was still strong. I contacted the dealer yet again, and I had mentioned that I would bring this case through alternative dispute resolution route – only then did his approach change. I decided to take the car to Glasgow and let his “trusted garage” look at the car as I had nothing to lose at that point. Unfortunately, the problem was still not resolved and till this date I received no formal confirmation of what work was done to my car – despite verbally asking the dealer and his garage, as well as sending emails. I want people to be aware of what they might be getting themselves into when they purchase a car from this dealer - he told me I bought a budget car and it is “sold as seen” so I suppose all the above problems in a span of 6 months was completely expected? I paid for over 50% of the car’s initial buying price in repairs and am still stuck with some problems that are probably not worth fixing given the car’s value. Please reconsider buying from him.Posted on Sheikha AftabTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional and honest service - Really happy with the purchase.Posted on Andrew GallagherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff were very helpful and straight forward, allowed for a test drive, no issues whatsoever ever with them 😊😊Posted on Jane MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was looking to purchase a car and on checking local garages I came across Darson cars. I saw a number of cars on their website athough what caught my attention were the reviews. I completely understand now why this family run business is filled with 5 star reviews. From the minute I went in I was met by 2 lovely guys who let me browse the cars and test drive the one I had been looking at online. They gave me a fair price for my own vehicle and sorted out the finance quickly and effortlessly. This little garage is off the beaten track but well worth going to. They were professional, patient and courteous and within 2 hours I had exchanged my car, arranged finance and left with my new car which has been repaired and maintained to a high standard. Highly recommend this small business as they clearly value their customers. Thank you so much!Posted on Alexander MalkaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
