The Autodock used cars in Larne

We got our gorgeous Peugeot 208 from Autodock. It's an amazing car and we love it. Jonny was great to deal with. Not pushy, no hard selling. He let us test drive the car twice and didn't push us to make up our minds. We do a big daily commute and our Peugot is so much easier on fuel. We only have to fill up every 1.5 weeks rather than every 6 days. Highly recommended.

I purchased a BMW 120d from this dealership in June 2025, and it has been one of the most frustrating buying experiences I’ve had. Within a week, the car developed faults. I contacted the owner, Jonny, who told me his BMW specialist was on holiday for two weeks and that he would arrange repairs on their return. Four weeks passed with no contact, forcing me to chase it myself. Instead of taking responsibility, I was sent the specialist’s number and told to deal with it. When I called, I was informed they were going on holiday the very next day, which raises serious doubts about the honesty of what I had been told. By this stage, the car had multiple issues: loss of power, a severe knocking noise when turning, and fumes entering the cabin. While some faults were addressed, the dealership refused to resolve the suspension issue, dismissing it as “wear and tear” despite it appearing within two weeks of ownership. This is something that should have been identified before the car was sold. I was also given incorrect information about the suspension itself, which only added to the lack of confidence. The noise has been diagnosed as the steering rack itself To make matters worse, the finance on my part-exchange vehicle was handled incompetently. Despite assurances it would be settled, it wasn’t. I was initially told it had been paid, which was untrue, then later told it had been paid to the wrong finance company. When it was eventually settled, it was for the wrong amount, leaving me to chase and resolve the issue myself. Overall, this experience has been defined by poor communication, a lack of accountability, and being repeatedly misled. Once the sale was completed, any level of customer care disappeared. I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this dealership.

I recently traded my car in and bought a pristine BMW from Johnny at Autodock. From the minute I arrived at his business through to making a deal on buying the car, it was relaxed with zero pressure to buy from him, none of the old school hard sell I’ve had in the past from some dealers. I’ve bought every car I’ve owned, 2nd hand from various dealers in the country over a period of over 3 decades and usually dread the haggling and sorting out buying a car but it was effortless at Autodock. Once I decided to buy the car, Johnny kept me informed through out the process of the car being nicely detailed and then arranging the pickup and financial side of things. I can’t recommend him and his business enough for a no pressure, friendly and professional car buying experience, I’ll definitely be back in the future and have already referred several friends and family to go to Autodock when it comes time to change their car.

Before the end of the six-month warranty, we reported several electrical faults — the DAB radio not working, rear parking sensors failing, and the driver’s side door not latching correctly. Although these issues were acknowledged, very little was done to properly fix them. Darren (who previously worked there) arranged for the car to be collected to replace the radio, but even after that, the DAB still didn’t work. Not long after the warranty expired, we began having brake problems. While I understand that brakes are considered wear and tear items, the level of corrosion underneath the vehicle was alarming. When the car was jacked up, we discovered severe rust, seized brake callipers, corroded exhaust clips, and even evidence suggesting a previous fire. Had we known about this condition at the time of purchase, it would have completely changed our decision to buy. Since raising these concerns, there has been little meaningful progress. I’ve had numerous no call-backs, despite being polite and reasonable throughout. The dealer continues to fob me off, leaving me with no confidence that the issues will ever be resolved. This review is written out of genuine frustration to warn others — please carry out your own thorough checks and don’t rely solely on the dealer’s assurances. My experience has been disappointing from start to finish, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the same.

Called in yesterday to look at jeep, deal was provisionally done, including a trade in value given for my own jeep and finance applied for. We were willing to pay a deposit but the owner said there was no need as the new jeep wouldn’t be ready for a week and he was happy enough to hold it. Finance was initially declined by a couple of companies but after speaking to Johnny at Autodock I informed him he had filled out some information incorrectly, hence why the finance companies couldn’t find my history. He went ahead and further applied to another company without my permission. Last I heard from Johnny was yesterday afternoon after 3.30 where it was left he’d have a look at his mistake on the application. This morning at 10am I got a phone call from the finance company to say it had been approved however the jeep was now sold. Not once did Johnny contact me to say the jeep was sold- when we rang him to double check this his words were ‘ I’m here to sell cars not pussy foot around finance companies’. The man has a terrible attitude and I will now have a a temporary negative impact on my credit score for future purchases. Incredibly disappointed and dissatisfied with the service from Johnny at Autodock. * in response to your reply, ‘again’ would imply you apologised in the first place to let me know had sold the jeep- which you did not, i had to hear that from the finance company. And as I’ve previously said, the finance was approved this morning at 10am.
