How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Honest and reliable, smooth handling. A test drive, payment, and registration even on Saturday. Everything arranged perfectly!

Several reviewers report that the company efficiently resolved minor issues or mechanical vibrations discovered shortly after purchase.

Great service. After I had purchased an Audi without a warranty, mind you, and there was a defect, I was allowed to send the invoice and it was paid promptly by Pieter... top notch P.S. The car drives perfectly.

I traded in my Volvo C30 for a very nice BMW 3 Series. After purchasing it, I had a few minor issues with the BMW, which were resolved very efficiently by the company.

We were helped after a very long wait, but they couldn't come to an agreement on the price. The gentleman didn't want to give anything for the trade-in but was willing to pay a lot extra for the other car. Very disappointing.

Visited the company with the intention of buying a car and trading in my car. Asked for a fair trade-in price for my car. Unfortunately, this made no sense at all. The same day, I bought a car at another company in the same price range and...
Undisclosed or unresolved mechanical defects
Some customers report encountering unexpected vehicle defects, leaks, or mechanical noises upon arrival or shortly after buying.

Although I was received kindly, I was left with a very unpleasant feeling about this company. The car was still inside the garage. As a layperson, as I also indicated, I asked about possible leaks in the engine block. "It is completely dry,...
Difficult negotiations and test drive restrictions
A few reviewers mention frustrating price negotiations or strict rules requiring a purchase commitment before being allowed a test drive.

On Friday, I had good and pleasant contact with this company over the phone, and I stopped by today to take a test drive and view the car. All in all, this went fine until we started negotiating the price. This was a bit difficult, but I go...

Terrible salesperson; we were only allowed to take a test drive if we were going to buy the car. We were allowed to sit in it for a bit, but then we had to buy the car first. Absolutely ridiculous beyond words.
Good for
- Buyers looking for a wide selection of neat used cars
- Quick handling and rapid vehicle collection
- Customers who value a friendly and professional sales environment
Avoid if
- You are relying on getting a high trade-in value for your current vehicle
- You require comprehensive warranties on older or high-mileage cars
- You prefer flexible test-drive policies without purchase pressure

The purchase of my car ultimately turned out to be a disappointment at the MOT 4 months after purchase. Box beams rotten. In that case, calling and having the opportunity to repair it won't help anymore, Pieter; you should have told me this at the time of purchase. I now also have a suspicion as to...

In December 2020, we bought a car here. According to the sellers, we bought a car in good condition. We asked if the car had been on a lift; after asking multiple times, they claimed the car had been to the neighbors (garage), where it had been put on the lift?? We soon started experiencing problems...

Autobedrijf Pieter Geertsma actually deserves no stars due to their way of doing business. Since the car we bought is already at the garage after only half a year with a defective automatic transmission. After contacting Autobedrijf Pieter Geertsma, I was informed that this happens frequently and...
