Sadly, 6 months after buying a car from here and leaving a 5 star review, the car was stolen from outside my house (all evidence pointed to an intermittently faulty central locking system). Fortunately it was recovered shortly afterwards, but the insurance process was extremely difficult because of just how many historic faults there were on the car (none of which I'd been aware of).
It had quite clearly (when pointed out to me by professionals) been poorly repaired, obviously in order to sell the car to someone like me. Lots of scratches had been painted in (not professionally), the computer stats had been amended so they weren't reflective of the servicing the car needed, and one of the wings had been badly damaged and instead of a proper repair (as was reflected in the service history), the panel had simply been 'covered in' and painted. A machine-polish would have shown this damage.
Amusingly, at the point of sale there was lots of talk of FM Motors doing an MOT as a special, thrown-in to ease my mind (I was worried about buying a second-hand car from an unapproved dealer).
What a disappointing cliche FM Motors are.
It's people like this that keep real dealers in business. I will certainly never use them again.
Avoid.
