Poor service all round

Long wait times when calling. Numerous lettters asking for money when things had been settled. Letter requesting money after car handover which I thought I was contesting, but it has been taken from my account via DD without my permission. No consideration for my car and the major issues within the last 6 months or the 18 month wait time for the car originally. No consideration given when I continued to lease with ŠKODA, etc...

Direct debit fiasco

I have tried several times to change my bank on the direct debit and it still has not been done correctly. The first time I called, Audi had said they hadn’t applied the changes correctly but got it fixed , now it’s taken once again from the wrong bank - very disappointed in what should be the simplest of transactions to do

Purchase went through in primarily a seamless way. However, there were lots of emails and lots of signatures required.

We bought a new Audi set up a service plan for this vehicle , we had this car for 4 months and we never claimed on the service plan in that time . We then changed our car to another Audi and tried to change the details over expecting to pay an admin fee however we have now been told we have lost over £120 because we changed our car from one new Audi to another new Audi . Never again

Ozair Mahmudee was an outstanding advisor

A couple of months ago, I spoke with Ozair Mahmudee at Volkswagen Financial Services, and I still had his name written down because of how helpful he was. I recently tried to speak with him again but was told that he no longer works there.

Ozair Mahmudee was by far the best advisor I have spoken with at VWFS. He was clear, straightforward and extremely knowledgeable, especially when discussing cars. His confidence and tone made it obvious that he genuinely understood what he was talking about.

During our conversation, we also spoke about our goals in life. As soon as Ozair explained the goals he had set for himself and where he wanted his career and future to go, I could immediately tell that he was ambitious, focused and knew exactly what he wanted to achieve.

My business partner also trusted Ozair completely and always preferred speaking with him rather than anyone else at VWFS because of the quality of his advice, the clarity of his explanations and the professional way he handled everything.

His attitude was particularly refreshing compared with some of our previous interactions with members of management, where we felt we had been spoken to dismissively and without the same level of respect. Ozair always treated us professionally, listened carefully and made us feel valued.

It is disappointing that he is no longer there, but I am sure he has moved on to something even better and is continuing to work towards the goals he shared with us. He was a real credit to the company.

Brand new car faulty

I like the car. Although it has a fault on what seems to be a fan That makes a high pitched humming sound.
I’ve booked it in to be seen at Maidstone and the want to charge me £120 to look at the fault On a brand new car.
Totally unacceptable in my view.

Unuseable on line finance web site

The online document processing was barred to me because your digital gate guard will only work with a smart phone, with a Q-code reader app. I do not possess a smart phone, nor do I have a Q-code app on my tablet. Having already paid the deposit at the dealer by debit card, your online facility could just as easily have utilised either my bank card or, more appropriately the dealer reference number on the initial paperwork.

Early Termination service - BROKEN

I have had Audi for the past 6 years and whilst VWFS sit in the background taking payments, when you actually need them, they are nowhere to be seen.

On hold for hours, getting through to an operator who doesn’t then understand the issue or can actually do something is an impossible task.

Raise a complaint and nothing happens.

They are a truly awful company to deal with.

Avoid at all costs.

Outstanding Customer Service

I was very well looked after by everyone I met at the showroom. The salesperson that I dealt with was very professional, friendly and helpful and the standard of customer service I received was excellent.
I am delighted with my new car and many thanks to Victoria for helping me.

No Joined Up Customer Service

Worst customer service I have ever encountered; between them cutting you off, not phoning back when colleagues say they will, single point of contact and giving themselves 72 hours to phone back.
The person dealing with the account according to one colleague on the phone (14th July) hasn’t been in the office since June but they sent an email to me today.
Nobody else can do their work or answer any questions.
It isn’t unreasonable to have an issue from 25th March sorted by July.
Going forward I wouldn’t buy a car on finance if they are the company being used.

Very difficult to get a response

Very difficult to get a response. I have tried many times to reach them, but they have just ignored my email and request to change the direct debit date.
