Customer service and after sales is awful with this company, run by a guy called Rob, his son and wife. They have recently rebranded as http://www.150cars.com so be aware, avoid this company, also trading as English Leasing. They are based in Syston Leicester. Once he got the sale and you have purchased it, he treats you like rubbish, I'm surprised this guy has not been on Watchdog or been reported to Trading Standards. Its only a matter of time. Full address here: Syston Mills, Mill Lane, Syston Leicester Leicestershire LE7 1NS Telephone: 0116 264 **** Mobile: 07899 15****

Horrendous company,Rip you off and have a the worst customer relations I've ever come across.Do not buy a car from these crooks. I've had nothing but trouble with my car I've purchased from them and they are not helping with the problems with the car at all.

Guest

This guy rob needs locking up for selling these dodgy cars,putting people's life's at risk..stay away from 150cars at all costs,I repeat stay away from 150 cars.

Guest

I too have had tremendous problems with Rob. I bought a car from him which had problems as soon as I drove it away.

I've been locked in battles ever since. His attitude is rude, patronising and argumentative. At this stage he has my car and my £4000.

He's refusing to refund me but happy for me to pick up the dodgy car. Looks as though we are going to court.

Guest

Could not agree more. Purchased a second hand car.

Was told tyres would be replaced as almost illegal. They put old ones one. Took to tyre place and was told the tyres they put on were nearly legal. So that was their first lie.

Tried to speak to owner ( never available). Total rip off merchants.

Would not recommend to anyone. Once they have your money they couldn't care less

Were any of the problems rectified? Did anyone get their money back or take then to court? I'm in the process of trying both.

Awful customer service - avoid at all costs!

Do not buy a car from this company, I recently did and have regretted it EVER since. Rob (the owner) is RUDE; he does not want to help the customer after the money is in his pockets, even if the car you have brought is not fit for purpose! He treats you like you are in the wrong even when the car needs repairing after driving it away from the dealership. They will make up every single excuse in the book in order to 'sweet talk' you; don't let it fool you they are talking rubbish the majority of the time! DO NOT buy a car from this dealer; I should have listened to the reviews before I stupidly did! I would like to add that all the other staff members that worked there seemed helpful and really polite; the 'boss' lets the side down massively.

Ok till you have a problem!!

Updated by user Feb 24, 2014

After contacting citizens advice and writing to the owner, he agreed to fix the faults we both mutually agreed on with no problems at all. I picked my car up earlier and am happy with the result.

Im not saying whether or not I would recommend as I have obviously had this problem, but it was fixed, so im on the fence! Just felt I had to add this on to my other comment.

Original review Jan 21, 2014
I brought a car from english leasing syston 2 months ago and in the beginning I was looked after very well, saw my car they took me out for a drive, told me about full service, 12 months mot and 12 months warrany, I paid a deposit and arranged to pick the car up in a weeks time because they were changing the cambelt for me free of charge and having the windscreen replaced because of a crack too. So I waited for a week and went to pick my car up no probs, at this point I cant fault them. Im not too trusting of garages so my dad checked the cambelt and stuff to make sure they had done all they said which they did. I was very happy with their service till today, ive had a couple of problems and rang them to discuss them as I was told one of the problems should have meant they missed the fault at mot therefore either forged the mot or missed it. I got called an *** for believing another garage and the owner was very defensive and couldnt care less. After both of us shouting at each other and then hanging up on him I rang the warranty conpany and asked if I could take it elsewhere so now my car is in drive vauxhall leicester with a huge list of things wrong. Contemplating writing to trading standards or something about it all!! One word people....AVOID!!!

Ripped off and lied to

English leasing - especially the owner Rob - are a bunch of liars and scam artists. We purchased a car from them in good faith - told us they would give it a full service, and said it was in top condition. We had problems straight away when collecting the vehicle (a week later than promised) with a CD stuck in the player and the spare tire missing. Later on we found that the service had not been carried out and also a crack appeared in the bodywork - an independent inspection telling us it had been there a while and had been covered up. English Leasing are basically a bunch of scam artists who will tell you anything to get money out of you and then leave you high and dry when you start having problems. Would never buy from these liars again and hope they go out of business before being able to sell to more unsuspecting folk.

Avoid English Leasing Ltd!

The owner Rob is very rude after he had taken our money he never fulfilled any of his promises and even swore at us. Before the sale he was promising us the world, including warranty and replacement parts, he failed to deliver the car on time and when we pointed out mistakes in the documentation he did not take any concern. We are still waiting for our V5 and he never went through with a warranty for us, even though he promises it on his website. Once he has taken your money he considers you a waste of time, stay away from this dealer! They are based in Syston Leicester. http://www.englishleasing.co.uk/ Unit 22 Syston Mill Mill Lane Syston Leicester Leicestershire LE7 1NS 07808 03**** 0116 264****

English Leasings Ltd-Complete sham of a company!

I recently bought a car from English Leasings Lmtd who supposedly do a full check on all vehicles and service them before selling- Stated on the website as the following; 'All our vehicles undergo rigorous preparation and servicing and are backed by a comprehensive warranty'.

Their list of incompacies is huge, but i will try to outline all the failings if possible.

I bought the car for 8 Grand, not a light sum to pay and with that i expected a good quality and standard of service-i was wrong.

Pleasant and courteous staff greeted and meeted until i signed over the deposit and collected the car a week later-then the troubles began.

They offered to transfer my number plate so i signed the relevant forms as was told i'd be contacted when it was sorted. Initially, i found several faults with the car like it had an engine light on, broken headlights and the CD player did not work-i was told this was not part of the guarentee and i could pay them to fix it or get it done independently-not quite the moto on their website.

6 months down the line and i was kindly informed by DVLA after my enquiries into why my number plate transfer was taking so long that not only did i not own the number plate anymore, i also didn't own the car i had purchased and was driving it with an illegal plate on.

I contacted English Leasings and they were shocked, stunned but utterly uninterested in helping me and kept saying they'd sort it. Two months later, still nothing.

In the mean time i had visited a solicitor to try to substantiate my case and get my number plate back, but yet again English Leasings, were not interested In the end i had to find the details of the person who had bought my car and she trustingly signed it back over to me so that i could get my number plate back and then transfer it onto my new car from English Leasings.

I also had to contact the previous owner (again after visiting the DVLA to request information) to try and sort out the issue of driving with a replica number plate on and no tax disc!

As you can imagine, this was not an easy task, and one which English Leasings could not care less about. They also lost my tax disc which meant i had to pay for a replacement and encounter endless trips to the DVLA to try and explain the mess i was in.

The DVLA man advised me never to do business with such an irresponsible and untrustworthy firm again.

Strangely enough, my car (which was fine when i part exchanged it to English Leasings) also had a broken CD player when i contacted the new owner. After getting them fixed, we both found out that two CDs had been shoved into the CD player, which i can only assume is another scam to make more money out of you.

Eventually, over 10 months later i now legally own the new car, have my private plate back and a tax disc, working headlights and CD but to my own, rather than with the help of English Leasings. Do not buy, rent or part exchange with this company, whilst they may appear to be sophisticated on the outside, they are irresponsible and reckless, they have not apologised, refunded or even returned my recent phone calls......and if it was left to them, i'd still have no car, no number plate and probably a criminal record for driving with duplicate plates (which they knew, but forgot to tell me). Be warned and be very carefull.

I had dealings with this company and tried to rip me off,but they didn't succeed ! I got my deposit back from (rob) the thief, only because I threatened to kill him with my fists.They try to sell you a load of *** not worth the money they ask for.

Never again. :(

Guest

That guy *** me out £100 and i want it back, right *** now.

Guest

I found them very helpful.

Guest

I thought Rob was very helpful and helped me many ways they dropped my car off to me and even picked me up when I ran out off petrol mayby if you spoke to people with respect you would get treated with respect

Guest

I've had a similar horrible experience with them, the owner Rob is very rude after he had taken our money he never fulfilled any of his promises and even swore at us. We are still awaiting an apology and money back for our warranty and V5.
