I am not on here to slander the company I would just like to share my experience. In short: 3 breakdowns. Argument on the phone with the owner when I requested to refund the car. 6 months wait for my money back. Trade in vehicle not taken out of my name and I had a parking ticket sent to my address it was resolved by the company and paid for by them but still very unprofessional  I purchased a 2014 Audi s4 on finance through Scottish motor services LTD, on my way home 50 miles from the dealer the car went into limp modeepc. This limp mode was found out to be caused by a faulty oil pressure sensor. On return of the car the next day I received a car to use whilst mine was in the garage and the staff were very helpful. It took them 2 week to source the problems. I was told nothing had be fitted but the problem had gone away.repair no 1 once I got to my Audi s4 terrible on fuel but I knew what I was signing up for I noticed that £60 of my fuel had been used and not replaced. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and thought the repair was done and that’s all that mattered to me. On my way home, limp mode again. At this point I was getting very frustrated but the garage asked me to bring it back and they’d give me another temporary replacement car. On return of the car I mentioned there was fuel used and not replaced from the last time and it was shrugged off. The car was not far off empty maybe 100 miles left when I gave it to the collector. After a couple of weeks again the car was ready. In fairness to them they cleaned and valeted my car every time it went back. The car was finally working. They’d changed something in the exhaust and the oil pressure sensor. They were adamant that it was the exhaust putting it into limp mode. I was happy as my new to me car was finally working. After a month or two of light driving as I worked a lot and didn’t need to drive to work I heard a tapping on start up which was an engine timing chain rattle. This once again put me without a car. This time I was done. I requested a refund and didn’t want the car anymore which lead to a heated conversation with the owner of the company and him telling me he’d repair it but not refund me. I then got fed up of speaking to the company and went strait through the finance company. The finance company sent and engineer to inspect my car who told me he knew very well of the company and had been called out to a lot of their cars. He also told me that the oil pressure sensor failure could have caused the timing chain to not receive enough oil wearing and stretching it causing the rattle. The engineer deemed it unfit to drive. Fast forward 6 months of my car rotting away parked up, a lot of phone calls, involving the financial ombudsman and no contact from Scottish motor company what so ever I finally got a full refund minus the monthly payment for the months the car was functional which I was happy enough with and the car was taken away.  Whilst all this was going on the car I had part exchanged as a deposit was not taken out of my name and was quite obviously being used by someone in the company. I received a parking ticket from Glasgow council. I then reported it to the council that I didn’t own the car anymore and gave the address of the company to say who now owned it. Scottish motor company were actually good with this as they said to send I picture of the letter and they’d pay it off which they did to be fair to them.  I wouldn’t recommend this company because my experience was a car unfit to be sold, they constantly attempted to upsell me warranty at purchase of the car which now I’m looking back at it makes me a bit suspicious as the guy did mention something about engine failure but I’d imagine this is just and upselling tactic anyways. They basically stole £60 worth of fuel from me, they use a sister garage across the road which tells me any problem can be fixed as cheap as possible. I can’t say they did as I have no evidence but I’m aware of how easy it is to mapped the fault code out. I would give 0 stars if I could.

I found Scottish Motor Services great to buy from. Neil the salesman who i dealt with was very helpful and diligent even after the sale had gone through he did everything he could to help and resolve any minor issues. Nothing was too much trouble. The second hand car market can be a bit daunting as you're parting with a lot of money but i found this company professional, communicative and honest. Highly recommend.

I just purchased my second car from Scottish Motor Services. Excellent value for money for a fantastic vehicle. Great service as always. Thanks to Neil and Allan for your care and attention.

We've bought and sold several different cars through Neil and the team over the years. Excellent service, great family run business. We wouldn't go anywhere else now. Trusted, reliable and friendly.

Bought a used car for £4,500 that they put through a service before selling it on. Took it in to get checked 4 months later and had a list of urgent repairs needed, including a full exhaust replacement at a cost of £1,000. Called to query it and they said they would call back, which they never did. Do not recommend. Be wary if you choose to deal with them.  edit: Further evidence not to trust them is their response below, a bald-faced lie about the purchase.

I have had a great experience with Scottish Motor Services. Their service has been outstanding from initial contact to after sales. Hugh Baird has been exceptional, from helping to secure finance for the car for me, to arranging minor repairs after taking the car home. I was even given a courtesy car to use when my car was in the shop so I was never left without a car. Thank you for great service! I would recommend this company to anyone looking to buy or exchange their cars.

Recently settled in Glasgow and bought my first UK car at Scottish Motor Services today. Service was excellent; Hugh is very friendly and efficient. The sale was straightforward and everything is taken care of; just pick up the car, drive away and be happy! Highly recommended!

Recently bought a BMW Z4 from them, the service was great, always helpful always polite, i put the car through a service straight away and found out it was in as a good condition as they said. it has one issue with retracting the roof, called them up and with out any hesitation was happy to organize it to come in and get a sensor replaced. Honestly couldn't be happier with the way i was treated and the quality of the car.

I called Allan on Friday about booking a vehicle inspection for a car he was selling... so I booked it for Monday afternoon.  Allan phoned me 9am on Monday morning saying the car was sold, so I lost half the money for the last minute cancellation on the vehicle inspection.  Honestly, what are the chances that someone just came in on Saturday and bought it and even if that's true, Allan could have called me and I might have had a chance to get my money back for the inspection.  If that gives you any indication of his integrity then you can choose if you want to deal with him or not.

Very happy with my recent purchase from SMS, despite the vehicle being nine years old two small issues were dealt with promptly and without quibble by Alan and his team. Was confident enough to take the car on the two thousand mile trip to Seville and back and it never missed a beat. Would definitely recommend a look at SMS if you are looking for something different and I will be back.
