While a previous purchase from Walker Car Sales was satisfactory, my recent experience was appalling. The car had problems from the moment I drove it off the lot. Instead of addressing the issues, Walker Car Sales attempted to cover them up by repeatedly topping up the oil. An independent mechanic discovered a wet belt in critical condition. Walker Car Sales refused to repair it until I obtained legal representation. After the wet belt was finally repaired (following legal pressure), the catalytic converter failed. I was again forced to seek legal guidance. An independent investigation, paid for by the finance company, revealed that Walker Car Sales was in breach of the Consumer Rights Act, allowing me to reject the vehicle after seven months. The lack of integrity, the disregard for consumer rights, and the immense stress and inconvenience caused by their actions are inexcusable.

I brought a car from this garage in…
I brought a car from this garage in August last year was rushed with paper car wasn’t washed properly dirty found personal items in glove box I.E Credit card statements when chatted with the sales manager he wasn’t concerned at all that I had there personal information which breaks data protection. Time has gone bye and problems come along air conditioning unit went on my car took three weeks for payment. When talking to the garage on the phone he said that the warranty team wasn’t paying as it was corrosion, when I went to Honda I was told that the warrant team had not been out to have a look at the vehicle at all and there was no corrosion at all. Then to top it off my dash board had loads of wrongs on it, called spoke to the manger of this branch and he did not care all he said was not his problem and did not care I have no car explained I can’t get to work. The management of this branch did not care, when asking to speak to the the director of the firm he doesn’t speak to customers. This Branch is the worse company to deal with rude and very poor customer services.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.
AVOID AVOID AVOID.I bought a car from walkers 3 months ago which then developed an engine fault. I emailed them to ask for assistance with this and they responded to contact the warranted company (who do not answer the phone and only divert to voicemail which they do not respond to). When I explained this they advised me to come in so they could plug it into the computer but advised me their technician was on holiday from tomorrow for three weeks so they would not be able to fix the problem but could recommend somewhere that would (at my expense). When I brought up the law on car faults within 6 months of purchase the garage owner became very cagey and defensive and insisted he “knew the law” in a rather patronising manner. I pointed him to the information from the motor ombudsman and he kept insisting that he “knew the law on used car sales, he refused to even look at it and insisted that I was was wrong and if I wanted “to be like that he couldn’t help me”.I also note on further research that the garage isn’t registered with the ombudsman which is a big red flag with nobody to hold them accountable without legal action.

Wouldn’t recommend this garage
Wouldn’t recommend this garage! First off I want to say the staff… Lee and other fella (name not known) friendly and accommodating as far as they can be, the owner Garry.. the biggest narcissistic, rude man ever! I bought an 8k Qashqai from him. Same day breaks started wobbling despite them giving me a full MOT day before! They agreed to replace disks and pads. Then an intermittent judder on theClutch kept happening. Garry told me basically it wasn’t happening despite me taking it to my trusted garage and them diagnosing the problem. Garry wouldn’t accept this because…and I quote “you taking the word over me, who been selling cars for 25 years over a trusted mechanic?” I mean let’s face it, I think a mechanic knows abit more about the engine! ! At the same time as this my media system began switching its self off meaning everything was deemed useless on there. If this couldn’t be fixed by Nissan it would cost £3k to replace. After abit of email too-ing and frowing I agreed for Garry to replace the clutch on the car but he then had a hissy fit and decided against this and said I’d better come in for a refund. I said I’d collect car to remove my possession. He refused and I had to do it on the road side. It turned out he had only driven the car for 5 miles over a week in an attempt to diagnose judder despite me saying he would need to keep taking it out! The outcome is I’m now car less having to begin my search again. So if I was you… I’d give Walker car sales a wide birth and avoid!!

SCAMMERS - Mazda6 2016 GX16RVT.
Mazda6 2016 GX16RVT.Vicious people with no morals only seeking profits and avoiding responsibility.Read the below very carefully!On 27th May, my partner and I viewed a 2016 Mazda6 GX16RVT, which seemed in good condition apart from a clicking noise. We paid a £500 deposit, an auxiliary belt to be replaced for the clicking noise confirmed by Lee, and requested new brake discs/pads due to their worn-out state (which we had to pay for as the MOT didn't require them to be replaced)Car collection, originally scheduled for 3rd June, got delayed because of wrongly delivered brake pads. After numerous follow-ups, we acquired the car on 6th June without a retest, wrongly assuming its condition hadn't changed.Immediately after purchase, we experienced shaking engine and black smoke from the exhaust. Multiple issues emerged in the following day, including fluctuating engine RPM, shaking while idle, stuttering in gears 1-3, and a persisting clicking noise from the outside (drivers side).When we voiced these issues to Garry on 7th June, he turned hostile upon the mention of our right to reject. An extensive argument ensued, and he failed to send the promised HPI report.Given the car's numerous problems indicating it wasn't roadworthy, we decided to return it. On 10th June, we tried to return the car in person with a rejection letter, but Lee was unable to accept it without Garry's authorization. In Garry's absence, we left the unsafe car there and were instructed to return at 1PM to handle the rejection with Garry directly.At 12:38pm (10th June), Lee called to invite us back. Upon our arrival, despite boss Garry's absence, Lee immediately declared the car fixed, revealing that a faulty MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor had been the issue.Unexpectedly, Lee had replaced the sensor with a used one from another Mazda in their stock during our absence. Asserting that the car was now functional, he declined to accept our rejection.We conducted another test drive: the engine shaking had been resolved, but the clicking noise and smoke persisted, further eroding our confidence in the car's reliability, particularly given that we hadn't consented to Lee's repair decision.Lee insisted they had our approval from our 7th June call (where we had simply requested a car inspection, not a repair), dismissing our objections and rejecting our formal letter of rejection. This refusal, together with Garry's earlier reluctance to share the HPI report, left us distrusting the company.Alarmingly, at no point had Lee communicated any intentions to perform a diagnostic or replace the MAF sensor. Moreover, they failed to provide invoices for the auxiliary belt and MAF sensor replacements, both of which Lee claimed were executed. Lee's defensive demeanor felt dismissive, aiming to force us to accept the unreliably repaired car without a refund.We decided to leave and consult an independent garage. However, within 10 minutes of leaving, the car's engine light came up, forcing us to stop on the highway. A call to Lee led us back to their dealership, where he immediately agreed to process a refund. Unfortunately, this resolution wasn't without costs: we lost £406 on brake replacements, £52 on fuel, nearly 4 hours on visits to the dealer, 2 hours waiting for Garry, and even missed a property viewing.Though we were refunded the car's value, no additional compensation was offered. Lee even unjustly insinuated that we buy and reject cars.Our experience with this dealership was highly disappointing and stressful. They exhibited unprofessional behavior, causing substantial time and financial losses with zero compensations. It's concerning that the car's faulty MAF sensor and thin brakes didn't result in a MOT failure or at least advisories.As stated by both Lee and Garry, their perspective is that "a used car can fail at any point," implying no guarantee of the vehicle's roadworthiness post-purchase.

Beware of this place LIARS!!!
Beware of this place LIARS and FRAUDS!!! I did regret to use this dealership for buying a car recently.First of all 12 months MOT- LIEMy car came with only 9 monthsFull service - LIEThe seller said they done a full service on the car... so when i drove home after the purchase i have seen 2 break lights gone, 2 rear side lights gone, front head light gone, and a blocked DPF Filter warning came up on the dashboard.I replaced the bulbs and took back the car to the dealer to fix the blocked DPF issue, they said they put on the computer and did run a full regeneration so its fixed. After a day it did come up on the dashboard again, and i have a car only for a week so im expecting more faults.Also i did replace the air filter and the cabin filter which should be inclued in full service and guess what they were dirty as hell, full black.
