Happier Cars Avis 

Awful - purchased a car with their warranty. Twice the warning light came on. Left the car with them for their ‘mechanics/garage’ to repair ( It was the catalytic converter.) A year later the new catalytic converter they installed has disintegrated as they exchanged it with an old second hand one. Now facing a repair bill from a REPUTABLE mechanic for &1400 as exhaust pipe is contaminated…
Disgraceful!

Another business set up in the same site.

Any information send to serious fraud team Rayleigh police station

Disgraceful company who have stolen my money after they have sold my car on my behalf. Numerous attempts at contacting them via email and their number/s, and when i paid a visit to their showroom, there was a notice board stating Happier cars no longer operates in this farm.

bought a golf from them back in 2022, car looked as it should until we got there and it turns out that somebody had crashed the car leaving a scratch on the left wing, 2 of the diamond cut wheels were absolutely ruined they wrote on the letter I’ve still got from them that they would owe me the alloy refurb, never did they answer or arrange anything to sort it out, turbo also went and had to get replaced so all in im down thousands on this car with none of it being my fault, if anyone reading this can help then please

Scam scam scam please don't use this company.

Bought a car from then in January for 10k, engine has blow up and now can’t get a hold of them and the website is down, reported them to the police

never get through to anyone one the phone and the email doesnt work

Purchased a car via an ad on Auto Trader in February. This company took my car as part ex when I purchased a used car from them. They agreed a price for my car and to settle the remaining finance on it. 7 weeks later they still have not cleared the finance and I am now liable for the payments of a car I no longer own! I can't get through to them on any contact number, they aren't replying to emails and the numbers I had for them via whats app have blocked me!
The car I purchased from them was sold as having full service history, there is no log book and it's never been serviced! There is also significant damage to the interior which was not disclosed.
Disgusting!
Just a further update, the car I purchased from Happier Cars has now been seized by the police from my property as it has been reported stolen stolen. This entire company is a scam!!!!

This company is very helpful when they want your money, but the after sales service is non existent.

We have purchased a 2016 Mondeo from Happier Cars and had it delivered as we couldn't make our way up to them.

On the day the delivery was scheduled they kept saying it will be little later when we called but said it will be delivered before the end of the day. It wasn't, they didn't call to let us know. We had to call them to be told that they can't deliver on that day anymore and that it will be delivered the next day. They apologised and said that they will top-up the tank. We have received the car with 40 miles worth of diesel!!

The listing itself was not correct either. Car was listed with features it doesn't have. Blind spot mirrors, adaptive cruise control, airbags in rear seat-belts are all missing.

The car was listed without showing or listing any issues so that's what we assumed. A car with no faults. The car was delivered with Tyre Pressure Sensor malfunction. Upon contacting one of their staff over Whatsapp (Richard I believe) he suggested we put some air in the tyres which we did, but the fault remained, which made sense as the fault said MALFUNCTION not LOW PRESSURE.

After few back and forth messages they agreed to pay to have this issue fixed and asked me to take the car to any tyre shop like Halfords. I went out to 3 different places and got 3 quotes including one from Halfords. 3 of the sensors are dead and one is low battery. But apparently all 3 quotes were too high and they refused all of them. I suggested they find a place that will do it for a price they agree with.

I have wasted my time driving around getting quotes which wasn't even my responsibility. They should have fixed the issue before driving it to us. Or the listing should have mentioned this fault.

And that was the end of any communication. The chap I was originally trying to resolve the issue has ignored my messages and the told me he's on holiday. I tried phoning the company number of times, every time ended up in their mailbox which was full so could not even leave a message. Emails are just bouncing back.

If you are thinking about purchasing car from Happier Cars I urge you to view the car in person and check that everything is correct and as advertised. Or even safer, don't buy from them!!!!

SCAMERS, DONT BUY OR SELL CARS WITH THIS COMPANY!! Bought a car
21 Feb 2025 (Friday), a Mercedes GLC reg YG16GLO. They explain it was a friend of the company owner, that he had a collection of cars and he was on holiday and he was returning the following Monday and they would send me all the paperwork and I had an invoice of the payment and because it was through a finance company I believe it was a liable dealership. But turns out all LIES, the car passed an MOT with oil leaks and coil spring broken probably also a fraudulent MOT on the day that I bought the car. Tried to reach them to have the paperwork of the car for weeks, first the guy speaking to me left the company after gave me this contact IAN that never replied to me, I repaired all the car as I'm a mechanic myself put new parts and everything. Yesterday had the police intersecting me at my house saying, blocking the car and saying it was stolen. Now have been left with no car but with finance agreement to pay of a big amount of money, and the owner of the car "friend" of the owner is having his car back. Because he reported only 3 days ago as stolen, apparently they haven't payed him. NOT A TRUSTWORTHY COMPANY!!!!

Do not trust this company or the people that work there, they are untrustworthy scam artists. My car was sold by the in Oct 2024 and I still have received the funds. This is my second post on them as they threaten to not give me my money unless I removed the post. They then said I will receive the money on the 17th of March which I did not. Now they are not responding to any emails or calls.

The old facebook group got deleted due to the admin being passively threatened.
