Avoid unless you have thoroughly investigated the vehicle and after-sales support.
My experience with Trade Centre UK in Rochdale was extremely disappointing, and I would not buy another vehicle from them.
I purchased a car from the Rochdale branch and, after the purchase, the vehicle caught fire. This was an extremely serious and frightening experience and has completely changed my view of the company and the buying process.
What also concerns me is my experience of the sales and after-sales process. I was encouraged to leave a review on the day I collected the vehicle, before I had any opportunity to properly assess the car or experience the after-sales service. In hindsight, I would strongly advise customers not to feel pressured into reviewing their purchase immediately.
I was particularly disappointed with how I felt my concerns were handled afterwards. My experience left me feeling that the level of after-sales support did not match what I expected when making such a significant purchase.
I have retained documentation and evidence relating to my experience, including evidence concerning the vehicle and what happened afterwards.
I would strongly recommend that anyone considering buying from Trade Centre UK does not rely solely on the sales presentation or initial customer experience. Do your own independent checks, investigate the vehicle thoroughly, ask questions about its history and condition, and make sure you understand exactly what support is available if something goes wrong.
This is my genuine personal experience and my opinion based on what happened to me.
For me, the most important lesson is simple.
Don't rush into the purchase, don't feel pressured into leaving an immediate positive review, and make sure you are completely satisfied with the vehicle and the after-sales arrangements before committing yourself.
Based on my experience, I would not use Trade Centre UK again.

Avoid at all costs
They do not check the cars they are selling properly and often sell cars with faults. They then get you to sign something to say that they can fix it and use this against you when you try to reject the car as being not fit for purpose when you purchased, saying they have the right to fix it (they warp consumer standards against you). Take weeks and weeks (if you're lucky) to "fix" the car and give it back still broken just with the fault cleared - so then it breaks again. Do your research elsewhere (e.g. FB, BBC) and you will see thousands of people with similar stories. The warranty they sell you also doesn't actually cover anything that happens, they never pay out. Staff know all of this and will ignore you and rudely shut you down for trying to get answers and assert your rights. Have had a staff member even admit to me they would not buy a car from here. Avoid at all costs, they are not registered with the motor ombudsman for a reason.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE
DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE !
My vehicle is still with the trade centre Rochdale going into week 3 no updates found out via the finance company they have started repairs after I had rejected the vehicle instead of replacing the gearbox they have told me it’s being removed for refurbishment and will only give 6000 miles warranty on this part the stress and anxiety this has caused me over the last month had been a total
Detriment to my health save yourself the nightmare I’m going through ! Walk away ! Don’t be filled with their sales jargon
COWBOYS need shutting down !

A big shout out to Sam and Asad at Rochdale branch! Same showed amazing empathy with our son whilst sorting out all the finance details and Asad was great in getting the sale complete. Thank you so much!

First time getting finance for a new car and the people I dealt with were amazing and very helpful from the get go
Helped me get on the road in no time 🚙
Drove past randomly
Drove past randomly. Saw it had a sign outside saying 5 star trust pilot but I just checked and it’s actually 4 stars, for that reason I think it’s very misleading. I don’t need a car but I think it also looks only a 4 star place compared to all others
Absolutely spot on.
Absolutely spot on.
Clear communication and happy to answer any questions.
Would reccomend this company to others
Zach the salesperson was fantastic too
Everything went wrong at the Rochdale…
Everything went wrong at the Rochdale branch of The Trade Centre UK! They're working in cahoots with the financers, despite my getting back within 14 days that the vehicle sold was unfit for purpose, not as described etc, as contained in the Consumer Rights Act, 2015, they're refusing to give the refund, or get the vehicle checked. exchanged. Unless anyone who wishes to waste their funds and don't mind dealing with dodgy dealership (The Trade Centre UK), then you could go ahead and patronise them.
Great experience from start to finish

Our sales man Alan was so helpful and patient with me and my parents looking for my second car everything was explained thoroughly and didn’t feel pressured at all throughout the whole experience. Minus points for a major smell coming from the breaks or clutch making us leave the car in the shop until fixed especially after they had us tax and insure the car leaving my old car uninsured until I get the car back. Mechanic that helped was super nice and understanding and so was manager. Will see what happens next but after all ‘checks’ being done shouldn’t have a burning smell coming from the car.
All staff was super friendly and helpful giving personal insights throughout
