App does not function correctly…

App does not function correctly (Android app).
Uploaded photos not acknowledged even though confirmed by phone that photos were on system. Everytime I re-opened the app it wanted all photos done even though already submitted and accepted.
It should be made clear on website that if you are trying to sell in the two weeks before or after the end date of a PCP agreement it will be very difficult to organise with the finance company as I discovered that VWFS take a minimum of 10 working days to issue confirmation of agreement paid. I expect there are other finance companies with similar policies.
On a positive note, the staff I spoke to at Motorway tried their best and did, in the end, manage to resolve the issues.

Awful

Awful, the dealer turns up 5 hours late. Then offers lower than agreed with a made up major fault, now because they say it has a massive oil leak, that magically never drips on the drive I can not resell till I pay to prove otherwise, customer service do not care they only believe the dealer, are these dealers vetted?

As close to a legal scam as I’ve ever…

As close to a legal scam as I’ve ever seen. You’re given a guide price and then placed into an auction where the outcome of that auction isn’t binding on any party. Been through numerous auctions where the buyer, who bid and won, just pulls out before any further viewing or contact is made.
On top of this, motorway continue to ask for the same paperwork over and over again. I started the process well over a month ago and have just had yet another ‘sale’ cancel before collection.
Avoid avoid avoid.

Hi Daniel, 

Thanks for your review. We’re sorry you were unhappy with your experience. 

Unfortunately, we’re unable to locate your sale record using the information provided here alone, so we’ve requested further information via Trustpilot. 

Please respond to Trustpilot with either the vehicle reg, phone number, or the email address you used to submit your valuation, and we’ll be happy to look into this. 

Kind regards,

From start to finish

From start to finish, we were extremely happy with the whole process.
It was easy to upload photos with guidance from one of the Motorway team who stayed with us until we had completed all the photos and information about the car. The car went in the next sale on Sunday, was sold on the Monday for the Motorway guide price and was paid for and collected on Wednesday.
We have never sold a car on line before but wouldn't hesitate to use Motorway again.

All went ok

Impressed with the service. All went to plan on collection day and good communication from Motorway. Just disappointed that the actual price I got at auction was considerably lower than original estimation from Motorway!
