Review of the Startline Motor Finance, Car Finance:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

I bought a car through Zuto with Startline providing the finance. This was in August 2024, in Oct I contacted Zuto to report mechanical faults which I had documented independent evidence of, Zuto stopped answering correspondence so I then spoke to Startline in December. I've not driven my car since November as it has a loose timing chain and critical contamination levels in the oil likely to cause damage, I originally wanted to reject the car but was convinced to get it fixed only to find the trader driving it around on the tracker even though it has documented oil contamination which can damage and wear the internal workings of the engine, Startline are refusing rejection, trading standards are aware of the garage and the financial ombudsman is now involved as I want to reject the vehicle but Startline are more concerned with the interest off the loan and protecting corrupt and fraudulent vehicle traders than actually looking after the customer. 5 months of not being able to use a vehicle you are paying for and having to borrow friends/family's cars to be able to get to work. Save yourself the mental drain and get a car from a main dealer and a loan through a bank Reviewed on: 8th April 2025
