Amber was so quick and helpful…
Amber was so quick and helpful throughout the whole process of helping us buy our new Audi A7! Will recommend to friends and family !
I approached Magnitude Finance directly…
I approached Magnitude Finance directly after a friend had recently had a brilliant service from them in the confidence I would also receive the same. Unfortunately, I wasn’t lucky enough to have the same experience.
I spoke with Amber on the sales team regarding my dream Audi RS6 at a dealer we initially had some reservations with.
Upon discussing our concerns with Amber regarding the dealer, we were assured that the supplying dealer was fully vetted with many successful deals being completed therefore our concern was no more.
We did the finance application which was a quick and easy process to be fair being quickly accepted with the deal in place pending a viewing of the vehicle.
We then spent the morning travelling to the dealership, test driving the vehicle, reviewing its service history and ultimately, falling in love with a dream family car which we have worked very hard to be able to achieve.
We spoke with Amber and advised we were happy with the vehicle and that she would request an invoice from the dealer with a view to collecting the vehicle the following week.
I went away, insured the vehicle, arranged the vehicle to have a ghost immobiliser fitted and taking the morning off work to collect the car.
Two hours before we due to collect the car, Amber called us to state that the supplying dealer was on their DO NOT DEAL list and that they would be unwinding the deal as the actual finance company won’t pay the dealer.
This came at a huge surprise given we were assured that there were no concerns with the dealer on the first call.
After realising our dream car was essentially being taken away after the time and effort involved also including a hard search on my credit profile, Amber then call me back adding that Close Brothers remain happy to deal with the dealer therefore she would try and get the deal over the line further building us back up for what is now a failure and unfair.
We spoke with Close Brothers ourselves who had no record of any disputes and had raised the payment for the vehicle the previous day. No notes were on our file regarding any conversations with Magnitude regarding concerns or unwinding the deal. They were happy to proceed.
At this point, we carried out a HPI check on the vehicle and the finance agreement was live and recorded against the vehicle.
Amber then called back advising us that the dealer remains on their DO NOT DEAL list and that they would be unwinding the deal.
We feel we have been lied to with Magnitude blaming Close Brothers when it was themselves who messed up, invested time and money viewing the car, paid a deposit, insured the car and took time off work for collection. The worst part is that our dream has essentially been taken away in the short term with my credit profile adversely affected due to the incompetence of Amber and Magnitude.
To rub salt in the wound, we later received an email from Close Brothers welcoming us and wishing that we are enjoying our new car!!
We suspect that Magnitude have the finance payment and have decided not to deal with the dealer which is understandable if they have had a previous unfortunate case with a failed deal however they were explicitly asked on the first call if there were any concerns.
This car was our wedding car for our wedding in two weeks time. It’s a huge disappointment for a company well regarded in the sector.
I unfortunately couldn’t recommend them to anyone as they have built up our dream on two occasions which have been dashed as they didn’t check their DO NOT DEAL list until they were due to send the funds to the dealer.
You should certainly avoid using them unless they can do the basics correctly. Amber should have simply checked before causing us this stress and dashing our dreams of obtaining a vehicle to this level which we have worked our socks off to achieve.

Henry who was looking after my finance agreement was super helpful and informative at all times. Was very helpful and answered any questions I had. Very prompt returning my calls.
Very professional.
Top shelf 5-Star Service!
I had a fantastic experience with Magnitude for the second time. I want to give a special mention to Chloe Wright, who took excellent care of me from start to finish. She was first-class, professional, courteous, and highly focused on customer service. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She took the time to listen to my needs and clearly explain what needed to be done, all without making me feel rushed.
I highly recommend financing your vehicles with Magnitude. Check with them before you sign any business finance deal, they have a strong panel of top leading lenders that will beat any like for like quotes and maybe get it cheaper.
Honestly this company WILL save you a significant amount of £££ compared to financing through a main dealer.
I highly recommend choosing Magnitude over any dealer finance or other competitors. Their terms are very transparent, and they offer a much better APR, making it a clear choice! This is how businesses should treat their customers, and I’m a very happy customer! Thank you!
Persistence That Made the Impossible Happen!
I rarely write reviews, but this one is truly deserved.
If it wasn’t for Tom at Magnitude Finance, I would have honestly lost hope. My application was being automatically declined based on a credit score that didn’t reflect my real financial situation. I had spoken to several dealers and brokers who made big promises but couldn’t even get me past the first hurdle.
Tom took a completely different approach.
Instead of relying on a system-generated decision, he took the time to genuinely understand my situation. Even after initial rejections, he didn’t give up. He continued to engage with lenders, explained the full picture, and pushed persistently until he got the deal across the line.
That level of commitment is rare.
It’s not just about doing a job, it’s about having the passion and integrity to stand by your client and see things through. Tom represents exactly what great service should look like. When you truly work for your clients, the company’s reputation naturally follows.
I’m genuinely grateful and can’t thank him enough.
Highly recommended.

Tom was great in getting a quote over fast and good rates to go ahead. He made the process so simple and quick.
