Poor workmanship left my car in an un roadworthy condition.
I had my car serviced and given an Mot at Horsepower Tonbridge. The car failed the Mot due to the two front suspension arms requiring replacement and were duly replaced by the garage. A week later whilst on holiday a loud knocking noise from the front of the car developed. I took the car into a local garage who advised me that the bolts on the nearside front suspension arm were loose where they had not been securely tightened and that there was an oil leak from the sump where the garage that serviced the car had not sealed the bolt to the sump properly.
I took the car back to Horsepower but had to wait day for the leaking sump to be fixed. What should have been 30 minute job took over 2 hours as a new sump plug had not been sourced prior to my second visit.
On my first visit the garage refunded me the bill I had to pay on holiday. I asked for a goodwill payment as my wife and I had been grounded for a day and a morning awaiting my un road worthy car to be put right. I was offered a free Mot the following year which I grudgingly accepted. However after being messed around with the repair to the leaking sump I once again requested some compensation for the disruption to my holiday and the time spent having the work done only to be ignored and left feeling that rather than me being inconvenienced it was me inconveniencing the garage.
I have written two letters to their CEO at different addresses without a reply.
Their HO Email address on the web appears to be invalid.
They are fine when things go right but due to this experience I will not be using the again or recommending their services.

Hi Mr Pavlou,
We're genuinely sorry to read this and disappointed that, despite our efforts to put things right, you're still unhappy. As you’ve mentioned, we replaced both suspension arms during your visit, and when you reported a concern the following week, we took your feedback seriously. We covered your holiday garage bill without hesitation and offered a free MOT as goodwill, which you accepted at the time.
Regarding the sump plug, we acknowledge the delay during your return visit and apologise again for the inconvenience caused. However, the vehicle was inspected, made safe and fully roadworthy, and all follow-up work was completed without charge.
We did reply to your initial letter in person at the time of your visits, and we're sorry to hear you've since struggled to reach us via post. Our contact details are up to date on our website, and we’re happy to speak further if needed.
We always aim to be fair, even when things don't go perfectly. We're grateful for your past custom and wish you the very best going forward.
From all the team @ Horsepower :-)

Hi James,
This is now your second 1-star review in a week and the first time you’ve mentioned anything about a “turbo booster leak”, which (let’s be honest) sounds more like something from a SpaceX launch than a 160,000-mile Ford Galaxy.
To recap: you bought the car back in April for just over £3,000. Since then, we’ve already:
Replaced the front wheel bearing
Fitted a brand new ABS sensor
Road tested the car thoroughly
Found no turbo-related fault codes or warnings at any stage
When we last saw the car in early June, you’d already driven over 4,000 miles and we’ve had no contact since. The timing of this second review (just after we replied factually to your first one) feels less about unresolved issues and more about not liking the response.
We're still willing to help, but new issues now need to be logged with your warranty provider, and we’ll need a claim number before booking it back in. That’s always been the process, and it’s fair for everyone.
From all the team @ Horsepower 😊

Absolutely Avoid
Absolutely Avoid – Dishonest, Chaotic, and Utterly Unprofessional
My experience with Horsepower Motor Centre has been so appalling that I was eventually forced to involve my bank and the Police Fraud team in order to recover funds owed to me. What began as a routine car purchase quickly descended into a months-long ordeal marked by dishonesty, silence, and shocking levels of incompetence.
I purchased a Mercedes E-Class (Reg: WK14TFV), only to return it almost immediately due to serious and dangerous mechanical faults. Upon collection, the car — which had just passed an MOT conducted by their partner garage on the very same day — displayed multiple alarming issues, including:
• The engine management light coming on within hours
• Severe juddering under acceleration
• Complete loss of power while driving
• Worn brake discs that require replacement
Despite these obvious safety concerns, the car was sold to me as roadworthy — something I now view with deep suspicion, given the timing and source of the MOT.
I returned the car in good faith for repairs, but it sat untouched for over two and a half weeks, with no communication from the dealership unless I repeatedly chased them. One staff member even admitted via message that the place was in “utter chaos” — a rare and brutally honest reflection of the situation.
In place of the Mercedes, I was offered a 2004 Honda Civic as a so-called courtesy car. It was in appalling condition, made horrific grinding noises from the brake callipers, and even contained used cigarettes under the seat — presumably left behind by the last unfortunate customer they loaned it to. It was neither roadworthy nor acceptable.
Despite eventually agreeing to a refund, I was forced to wait nearly two months to receive only a partial repayment, with no explanation whatsoever for the missing amount. This is despite returning the car with half a tank of diesel, and the fact that they are still holding both sets of keys and the V5C. My formal complaint was completely ignored, and no apology or accountability was ever offered.
This experience has left me significantly out of pocket, without a vehicle, and with major disruption to my business and well-being. That I had to resort to formal intervention from my bank and the Police Fraud team speaks volumes about how seriously Horsepower Motor Centre mishandled this situation.
If you’re considering buying from Horsepower Motor Centre — don’t. Based on my experience, this is a company that is dishonest, disorganised, and completely unfit to be trading in vehicles. I wouldn’t trust them with a bicycle, let alone your hard-earned money.

Hi Lee,
We’re sorry to hear you felt this way, although we don’t believe your review reflects the full story.
You purchased a used Mercedes E-Class from us earlier this year which developed a fault shortly after collection, totally agreed, that’s always frustrating and we do understand. Unfortunately, these things can happen with secondhand vehicles, especially older, higher-mileage ones. What matters is how it’s handled, and in this case, we acted entirely in good faith: the car was returned to us, booked into our busy workshop, and repairs were already underway by the time you came in for your refund, something you saw with your own eyes.
We were literally hours away from resolving the issue for you, but you opted to cancel, which we respected and accepted. A refund was issued. We never ignored your messages or refused to help, we just had to balance your case alongside dozens of others in the workshop at the time.
The courtesy car provided, a Honda Civic automatic we’ve owned since nearly the day our business began over 20 years ago, actually holds a bit of sentimental value. It’s served us well as a loan car for years. It might not be glamorous, but it’s safe, reliable, and will get you to Timbuktu and back.
Since then, the original vehicle has been repaired and sold again. The new owner is very happy, and it hasn’t come back. It was just a niggle, not a write-off, and we dealt with it.
We’re an award-winning dealership, recently rated Highly Rated 2025 by AutoTrader and proudly recommended by thousands of happy customers. We take our reputation seriously and always aim to be fair, even when things don’t go to plan.
We wish you all the best.

Hi Fulton,
Thanks for your review. We’re glad you found the team friendly and the price fair.
The vehicle would have undergone a visual health check before handover, and anything found to be illegal or below standard would have been addressed as part of our usual process. We fully take on board your feedback and really appreciate you being open and honest with us and taking the time to do so.
We look forward to being of service to you with your future motoring needs as and when you next need us.
