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 on...

Good and Bad

Agreed payment holiday due to Covid 19 however received several threatening letters following this. They apologised and assured the letters were issued in error but only to receive several more letters. Reviewed on: 17th June 2021

Supported me when hardly any other company would

Great experience with these guys and they gave me car finance when hardly any other company would look at me. Have never had trouble with these guys, and they've kept me updated with regular statements on what's left to owe. Reviewed on: 29th April 2020
