Mixed call centre experience

I can only go on my experience of getting insurance through the online form and telephone call centre as a new customer. I haven’t had any experience of claims, and hopefully never will.

The online form feels a bit of a waste of time. You essentially have to speak to someone at the call centre to buy insurance through this company. Both my partner and I had mixed experiences with the people we spoke to. One person, who I believe was called Reece, spoke to both my partner and I and was not only helpful in getting a quote sorted but also helped in defining what various terms meant and how it applied to us (buying camper van insurance). An asset to the team and worth the praise. I had to call back to make the payment because I couldn’t find my credit card and I wanted to check a few details. I called back to speak to someone I believe was called Aaron. It was the most unhelpful combative experience I’ve had in a fair while - he said my quote didn’t exist and I was required to do a new quote. I work in a hospital and taking time out of my day to do the earlier quote was difficult enough. I asked him to speak to the person I spoke to earlier (Reece) to find the quote. He seemed really angry that I was asking him to do this. He went away, and came back after discovering the missing quote. No apology. He continued to complete the purchase, and even then it wasn’t a pleasant interaction. I did start to worry that this same aggressive attitude was a reflection of the company, and whether the IT system was so poor it could just lose quotes, which made me a bit nervous to go ahead with the policy. I came home to tell my partner my experience and he said he had had the exact same experience the day before with someone who was so aggressive that my partner just gave up on the quote. Thanks to Reece we did still buy the policy, but the other person we spoke to nearly made us change our minds.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that Rhys was helpful, professional, and able to guide you through your quote and we’ll be sure to pass your praise on to him.

We’re very sorry, however, to read about your later experience when calling back. That certainly isn’t reflective of the service we demand from our staff, and we take matters like this very seriously. We don’t have anyone named Aaron working for us, but if you can provide a few more details, we’d like the opportunity to review the calls you made so we can address this properly.

We genuinely appreciate your honest feedback and the fact that you still chose to continue with your policy despite this experience. Please contact us on 01792 650933 or admin@brentacre.co.uk so we can look into it further.

Update:
Following your review, we’ve since located and listened to the call in question. While the staff member involved wasn’t named Aaron, we have identified who it was. Upon review, their tone was indeed blunt and not in keeping with the standards we expect at Brentacre. This matter has been addressed directly with the individual, and further coaching will take place to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We take feedback like yours seriously and use it to continually improve the service we provide.

Great Customer service

These have been brilliant to deal with from day one from submitting paperwork to quick replies when submitting modifications. If you are buying a Transporter or already have one then I would highly reccomend them.

We’re sorry to hear you feel that way. We always aim to provide a helpful and transparent service, so it’s disappointing to know your experience didn’t reflect that.

You can reach us directly on 01792 650933 or at admin@brentacre.co.uk

Absolutely tremendous to deal with

Absolutely tremendous to deal with. Nice to speak to someone who took the time to go through the quote and various details with me. I e-mailed the various documents straight away and their response was instant. Many thanks for such a positive and pleasant experience.

Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely brilliant, been with them for years now and excellent service. Best of all no problems at all if you have a mishap which is great to know. Just changed motor AND kept the old one so had to sort out extra insurance. No problem at all to the helpful guy on the phone and at a great price for the two !
