Tom was very helpful with managing my 3 year service today and quickly advised of any problems found of which one was under warranty. The mechanic working on my car did a great job and the car is now running sweet and quiet. Everything ready just after lunch.

service

I phoned to book a service for my recently purchased XC40 and spoke to Matthew. He is very friendly and helpful as are all your staff that I have encountered over the past 3 years. He found a suitable date and time that we agreed on and was friendly throughout our conversation.

Do not recommend

Do not recommend. Paid a deposit to secure a car. Viewed car. Car was not forecourt ready, for example the rear number plate light was just hanging off, as was other various trims. Over a week later with 4 phone calls, not one returned as promised still no refund of the deposit. Terrible service. Worst customer service ever.

Service Department phone booking

I phoned the service department to book my Volvo XC60 in to have the Cambelt replaced. Spoke to Ron Eskdale who was very polite and knew what was required and quoted me a price. Not only that Ron sent me an email confirming the booking very efficient.

Disappointing experience

I booked a test drive for a 2022 Kia Niro as my wife is considering a Toyota RAV4, and I wanted her to see the Niro in person before making a decision. Sadly, the entire visit felt like our time — and potential purchase — didn’t matter at all.

When we arrived, no one seemed aware of the booking. After being appointed a salesperson I had to ask him to show us the car. Even then, the lack of effort was obvious — they didn’t start the engine, demonstrate any features, or even move the vehicle from the tightly parked space so we could properly view it.

Booking a test drive should mean actually experiencing the car, not briefly looking at a stationary vehicle squeezed between others. For a dealership, this level of disinterest in a serious buyer is unacceptable.

Left with a very poor first impression and little confidence in their customer service.
