  • "What an awful human Tom is to deal with"

    "Needed a car short notice so ended up at kings, found a car in price range, gave me a service book that was up to date (everything seemed sound, ran nice, etc)"

    "Do not trust Tom the dodgy sales man what so ever! I did a contract to purchase a car at an agreed price with Tom, I then paid for an inspection for the car which it just passed, he then went and sold it to some another person who offered a higher amount, Tom is the lowest of the low for doing this to a customer, I am now out of pocket because of the inspection contracts mean nothing to Tom! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! Oh and lied for a few days saying he was ill and not in the office when trying to make full payment on the car"

    "Friendly sale but a complete rip off"

    "Bought a Jeep Patriot rego K57BQ! Took it back 3 times"

What an awful human Tom is to deal with. He had my car for a few months on commission. I decided to get it back and sell privately as he had no interest at his ridiculous price. After getting my car back I asked if I could have my genuine Toyota cargo mat and dash mat back. He told Me that he had no idea what I was talking about and that they weren’t even in there to begin with. In the next phone call he tells me “oh, they sat here for ages, I don’t know where they went”. He refused to reimburse me for the mats and said I could take the ones out of another car he was getting “in a few months” or go up the road and buy some more! The whole experience of dealing with Tom was unpleasant and I would NOT recommend dealing with this car yard at all. He was clearly bullied in school and now has to make himself feel superior by ripping off decent people.

Needed a car short notice so ended up at kings, found a car in price range, gave me a service book that was up to date (everything seemed sound, ran nice, etc). Took it to a garage to get checked and only a couple fixable things came up (they also said it was okay to drive so that was not necessarily on Kings). Barely 2 months after having the car, the gearbox transfer case had a giant hole in the side. Car completely broke down. I called back to see if there was anything to do and he blew me off immediately. I fixed the car, went back to see if they would take it back (as I was also leaving Tasmania) and he made excuses about them not having the funds and it’s not what they’re looking for, etc. It ended up being a very scummy business situation. Also when I sold the car I found out there were illegal modifications on it that I had no idea about.

Friendly sale but a complete rip off. Bought a car from here which one week later turned out to be a complete dud, with $10,000+ of things to fix. I got a refund under consumer guarantees, which I was very happy about. But these things should have been disclosed before sale. Later saw the same car up for sale 2 days after I brought it back, selling for $1000 more... good luck to it's next buyer...

  • Jamie Lazarus

Bought a Jeep Patriot rego K57BQ! Took it back 3 times. They switched the engine light off twice. Major engine issues. Be sure to check this before you buy it. He wouldn’t refund me. Charged me an extra $4.500 to swap for another car that we would not accept back after one day. The car didn’t suit my needs.

  • Gaye “Boo” Banks

I can’t fault Tom, I bought a car from him that presented a common problem with modern diesels. Tom paid for the issue to be resolved and lent me a car so that I had transport. The car he lent was faultless also. One very happy customer …

  • Ruby King

  • Emma C

Brought a car , and just over 24 hours it broke down. The guy over the phone, acted as if I never brought a car off him. Next day he offered too look at the car after I paid for a tow. Fixed the car a week later.

  • Di Dawson

Never deal with him....he lied to us and never kept his promises. Very costly and he does not live up to his company's customer statement..very poor service.

  • Jackie W

Fantastic experience this morning. Honest, friendly and well priced. Best that we have dealt with. Will be back when we are looking to purchase another car.

  • Adam Burgess

Bought a few cars from Tom! Both cars have been faultless. Looked after us from the start until leaving the yard. Will be back in the near future
