Specialist Cars

Buyers beware.Krishnan comes across very well, however do not trust a word that he says... no scruples... economical with the truth!I purchased a very expensive classic Mercedes estate with warranty from Specialist cars in April 2021.Having spent £1,285 pounds on items approved by Krishnan, I am still waiting to be reimbursed despite numerous reassurances from Krishnan that the money had been sent cheque in the post"...Also I would be very sceptical of his advise/expertise... various upgrades/improvements he made on the vehicle proved to be incorrect... removal of the original noisy but working fan & replacing it with a modern underpowered plastic one which resulted in overheating problems.Delaying delivery of the car

Do NOT buy anything from this man. Kristian comes across very trustworthy and knowledgeable. Yet he is very very far from it! I was looking at a Mini Cooper for my first car! The price was quite cheap about £1400 which I thought was strange so thought there must be something wrong with it! But no kristian said it’s running as good as ever and there’s not one single thing wrong with it. He says he test drives all the cars for a fair few miles before selling them to check everything’s as it should be. He clearly doesn’t because if he did he would know that this car had a major head gasket problem. As soon as I bought it within the first few weeks the engine was over heating and the fan was coming on very loud. When we took it back to figure out what it was (as we had 3 month’s guarantee on it) he said oh it will just need a new fan that’s all (the cheap option) when clearly he knew it wasn’t that. The car lasted about 4 months if that. Very disappointed as it was my very first car and I’d saved up especially for it for my money to have been absolutely blown after only having it for 4 months. Do not believe a single word that comes out of that man’s mouth!! Reading other reviews it sounds like a re occurring issue!!!

My goodness! I recently rediscovered this site by accident.They sold me a real lemon back in 1998. Horrible car sales business to deal with. Good luck to all that do.And no, I certainly haven't got the wrong dealer. I remember kristian.

I paid Mr Kristian Geldard (the owner of this business) a supposedly refundable deposit simply to view a car. He was very keen to take my money over the telephone by credit card. I then decided not to buy his car and requested the return of my deposit. This was 11 days ago and my deposit has still not been refunded, despite numerous requests. When questioned, Mr Geldard has offered an array of different excuses. I am now having to commence legal proceedings to recover my money.

Put a deposit on a car which turned out to be in poor condition considering the price and the description. Despite numerous requests over several weeks, the deposit was not refunded and a claim had to be made through the card company. The excuse was that Kristian was not able to process the refund himself, that only the admin assistant could access his bank account. But she was on holiday!

hi kristian. i must say the range rover p38. when it arrived i was very impressed how the car was in superb excellent condition after spending 23 years in japan. when i phone kristian about the car . he gave me a very good and honest detail description of the car. kristian. it was a great pleasure doing business with you. thank you for my very beautiful range rover p38. anybody looking for a good quality car . i do recommend you contact kristian on his website specialist cars yorkshire. a big thank you Brian

Communicated over several months with Kristian re our search for a very particular Mercedes W124 & had a great, enthusiast, informative experience on each occasion. Ultimately our perfect Japanese Import 280E (& yes they are every bit as good as Kristian says) came to us via a private seller. Nonetheless, the response when I called to advise search over" was one of congratulations & interest. Plan on staying in touch for parts purchases & W124 resources as Kristian clearly knows his stuff on these cars! Thanks again for the excellent advice & help

Great selection of cars, great friendly service, kristian is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Fab service throughout and very happy customer!

Went to see a Renault Megane GT, Luke looked after us very well whilst there answering any questions about the car and took it for a nice long test drive. Didn’t purchase because the car wasn’t for me, but would not hesitate to return if I saw something more suitable.

Had to pay a deposit of 20% to hold the red merc 420 SEC. Greg Totalling £1600 00 pond.But still after weeks and weeks of waiting without an update from Kristian he eventually contacted me the week before that the car would arrive Friday before last!! It did not!!! last Friday he contacted me that the car has now arrived and it was ready!! After 10 weeks waiting I lost interest even more so as it shows a 7 week mot ticket. My point:Be aware, make sure your deposit is no more than £100.002) the car in question is in stock.3) The car has a MOT longer than 7 weeks.This way you might be satisfied!!! Good luck!!!
