Customer reviews of Car Pod Group

By Kimberley R on 26 May 2017 | Verified purchase

I had an absolutely great experience buying my first car from Ataris cars. The guy Adam who I dealt with was extremely helpful and answered all my questions he even drove me to the post office and helped me tax my car so I could drive it away there and then I would recommend Ataris cars to anyone looking to buy a new car.

I have been searching for a S-Type Jaguar for several months, lots of search engines, used car websites and visited several sites to view cars, so I feel I am in a good position to rate Ataris Cars in comparison using my recent experiences. I found Adam and Alex very easy to talk to and ask questions, nothing appeared to be any trouble to them. I felt they were very honest with me and their customer approach was excellent a really hassle free and enjoyable experience. The most important thing for me was I drove away in a beautiful Second hand car and felt the deal for both parties was fair and true.

Thanks for your review Kevin, was great to meet you and your daughter. I am very happy that you found the car ticked all the boxes and was the perfect one for you, especially after looking for a round a year and going out to view so many. You have got yourself a real gem there. Hope to see you again soon and remember, I want first refusal if/when you come to sell, thanks Adam.

Very helpful and friendly salesman who didn't badger and was well informed about the car. The car was very good and I got it at a very competitive price. He also set up all the vehicle tax for me and dealt with most of the paperwork. The only improvement would be if they were a bit more transparent about MOT advisories...they weren't listed on the paperwork I was shown and given but looking it up myself, issues were definitely highlighted.

Thanks for your review Jodi, was good to meet you and your father. Glad you enjoyed the way we operate and were comfortable making a purchase. The paper work we receive with the car is all we have to forward on, unfortunately we are unable to re-print any previous MOT`s. We hope to see you again for an upgrade, thanks Alex.

Very good customer service from polite, courteous staff. We were given a very fair price for our part exchange on a lovely Hyundai i30. Having looked at cars from various dealers over the previous weeks we were pleased to finally find a car we could do a deal on. Only time will tell if we bought a good car but up to now it drives like a new model - with just a little squeak from the rear passenger side break (hopefully this will sort itself out as the brakes wear in). If we have any criticism, and it is a minor one, the car could have been cleaned before we drove it away.

Thanks for your review Wendy, was good to meet you and Stephen. Glad you finally found the right car/deal for you, especially after weeks of hunting. We only have skeleton valet staff on the weekend, hence why the car was slightly dusty. Please pop in when you are free for a complimentary wash! Hope to see you again for an upgrade, regards Alex.

By Simon S on 07 May 2017 | Verified purchase

Ataris cars were very helpful over the telephone and happy to describe the vehicle accurately as I was going to travel some distance to come and see the car. Upon arrival I was given the car key and as much time as I wanted to inspect the vehicle on my own. I was also permitted to undertake a test drive on my own and I am happy to report that the car was exactly as described. Negotiations regarding price were fair and friendly and I was able to offer my current vehicle in part exchange; something we had not previously discussed. Again the price offered for this was fair to both parties. Much assistance was provided in organising road tax, drive away insurance and the warranty provided by Ataris was upgraded at no extra cost to myself. However, I do not believe the car required a warranty as aside from the wheel alignment being slightly out I have discovered no issues since my purchase a few thousand miles ago; I deliberately waited a while before writing this review.

Thanks for your review Simon, was good to meet you and we are happy you chose to come all the way to us for your new car. Glad you were pleased with us as a business and our business model. It is reassuring to know that the car was to your liking and you have had comfortable motoring thus far. Hope to see you again for an upgrade, thanks Alex.

I bought a Mondeo from Ataris Cars on Good Friday. The cars they have all seem good quality and the whole experience was very relaxed and friendly. We had plenty of time to look over the car ourselves and drive it with no pressure, but then good one to one service to discuss the car. Adam was great, very friendly and professional. He delivered the car himself within a couple of hours, 30 miles away and despite the bank holiday. Thanks again Adam and the guys.

Would not hesitate to go back. No hard sell, honest and helpful and gave me first look at a car they knew I was looking for.

By Carl W on 04 April 2017 | Verified purchase

Bought a 2010 Ford Focus 1.8 from Adam, and were a little apprehensive as not bought a car in 12 years. Really nice fella, made you feel at ease and no pressure applied to make a quick sale. He let us have a test drive unaccompanied and even let us walk away and return days later in the week once had decided. All cars were in good condition, bodywork on all vehicles were generally very good. Very clean inside & out and well presented. A little disappointed with the offer/ price he made in p/x without looking at it however overall we feel we have a bargain!! A great family car at value for money but with plenty of umph!! Definitely will go back and probably sooner!!

Thanks for your review Carl, was great to meet you and Yvonne. I am glad that you were comfortable buying from us, especially as you hadn't made a purchase for many years. Happy you like your new set of wheels, hopefully it means not taking all the football gear any more! Hope to see you again soon, kind regards, Adam.

By Lewis P on 03 April 2017 | Verified purchase

The customer service was great and they respected that we were the first customers that arrived and gave us the first refusal.

Thanks for your review Lewis, was great to meet you, your friend and your dad. You did seem distraught that someone had beaten you to the keys for the car, but having arrived first you were entitled to it. Hope you are enjoying your upgrade and joining the Honda family! Drive safe, thanks Adam

Would like to say a big thank you to Adam and all at Ataris Cars. Adam was so nice and helpful and made the whole process seem so easy!! I was looking for a new car yesterday at 12pm and by 6.30pm I was the proud owner of my new Ford Focus !! Adam was helpful . and clear with information and with any questions I asked. Would recommend Adam and Ataris Cars, very friendly and professional. Would always use these guys again!! Oh and we found the code for the car in the glove box as you said.
