I feel that Jemca Edgware Road are not…

I feel that Jemca Edgware Road are not offering the quality of service that might even be considered adequate. They make it feel like once you’ve purchased their obligation is fulfilled and have a very cavalier attitude towards their customers.

After test driving and speaking to one of their sales persons, Melvyn Weekes, I agreed to purchase a Used Dealer Approved Toyota RAV4 Hybrid on a 68plate. He completed the paperwork on Monday and I was told the car was to be ‘prepared’ before I can take it home 3 days later on Thursday evening. I paid for the car as per his request and asked him to keep me informed on the timeline for the collection of the car. He didn't reply to emails or phone calls till a few days later.

On the collection day, I called to make sure and was told that he wasn’t working that day but one of his colleagues will be there to do the handover of the vehicle. On arriving for collection, the car was not fully ‘prepared’, the service history and the MOT records were not present and the interior detailing not done satisfactorily to car dealer standard. His colleague told me that he has spoken to his ‘manager’ and that I should come back tomorrow (Friday) to collect the car. I was told that somebody will call me. On Friday another colleague of his, Kaviyan called to say the car is ready for collection. It took another 3 hours for final delivery of the car with the jack spanner missing. (I had to pay for the spanner on Kaviyan’s insistence and am still waiting for a refund)

I had to call and email on multiple times and each time I called or emailed on the status of the various pending documentation and refund, I was told Melvyn would call me back (they gave me so many excuses; he was with a client, he was in a meeting, he wasn’t working that day… just to name a few...) sometime he would response.

Do NOT use this dealership! They are dishonest, unreliable and have very poor customer service….

Poor administration and follow up services

I have phoned Jemca 4 times today to endeavour to book my car in for a service and to have some repair work done. I was informed in August this was not a problem, but it now appears this is a problem, people promise to phone back but do not, the phone goes dead within 5 minutes. What disappointing and poor service levels you have - suggest people buy a car elsewhere

Dreadful experience this morning

Dreadful experience this morning. Invited in for a product recall to correct a fault with an airbag, waited for half an hour, then told that Jemca did not have the part required. Wasted half my morning - and will now have to book another appointment. And all this because the product was faulty! Huge waste of time and energy.

I am utterly disappointed today

I am utterly disappointed today, I took my car for service at Kingsmead Toyota and my phone got stolen whilst I was in the ladies room and they did say that they have cameras however they still can't find my phone. I would not recommend Toyota to the people close to me because the same phone that got stolen is the same phone that needs to approve the service to be started. I literally spent the whole day waiting for the service. They still haven't found my phone

I had fantastic service from a salesman at Toyota Platinum Bath.
His name Kabir Letherbridge, he really was brilliant, he was very honest, patient and gave good advice a very pleasant person as well.
With his help I bought the right car and would recommend anyone to ask for him in person at Toyota Bath.

Around the 13th June 2022

Around the 13th - 15th June 2022, I drove a friend looking for her 1st Mobility car lease-purchase. I suggested we try Jemca Lexus & Toyota in Croydon. Thinking we would get a top-quality customer service and help.

Much to my shock…
Firstly I drove up-to the “only blue badge space” we could see, then I was approached by a pleasant young lady asking, if I could park somewhere else? As her colleagues were hand washing cars a few spaces away 😳 when I pointed to the blue badge sign on the wall, she went oh ok.
Before we could get out the car, she asked can I help you 😳😳 I replied, can I get out the car first 🙈 …
Went in to Lexus showroom and was guided across the car park to their Toyota dealership.

We asked to see a mobility expert/ salesman, we were asked to sit and we were shortly approached by a youngish pleasant salesman.
• Who seemed to think we were his friends?
• He seemed more interested in what I was driving 🙈 this made me a little annoyed!

When I said we are new to this, can you help us and show us what cars are available on mobility for my friend!

He walked us out to see 2/3 cars parked side by side. The car we were interested in was there C-HR hybrid. My friend sat inside & no explanation or guidance was provided to her? In other words, see if you like it? If not? Who cares!!!

Then we went inside the showroom, he told us if we wanted a test drive, to go and think about it? and make an appointment to come back? Shocked!!!

Then I kindly requested any printouts of details to read up (for my friends 1st Mobility purchase, as she was willing to pay upto £5K deposit) The sales told us, to go look it up, on the internet 😳😳😳

He never asked for our number to follow up?

This left us thinking after we left? Why are these pointless people, employed here for?

We left with a bitter taste in our mouth and minds!

Absolutely useless and dreadful service from a major “Lexus and Toyota” dealership!!!

To this day, I’m still so angry about the quality of service at both your dealerships!!!

I would never purchase from these dealerships.

“Next-Day”
Thank you Audi Marshall Beckenham, for a great customer care and support in my friends purchasing / ordering the a lovely Audi Q2 S-Line auto and included a test drive!

So easy not to lose a sale, with a valued, polite, caring, kind customer service!

Non existent after care once they have the money

This seems to the only way I can complain to Jemca Toyota Edgeware as they only provide a customer online form which previously I have had no responses from.

I bought a car a year ago and the process was fine. The problem was there was no second key. As this is part of the contract, I was told it would be arranged.

Given I am writing this review clearly didn't happen;. I emailed, no response, I called and was told I would be called - I had told them many times that as a busy frontline NHS worker, I can't take phone calls while at work, and to either text or email. No texts and no emails.

Eventually I have given up trying to get a response and have paid £402 of my own money to get a key made at the local Jemca Toyota.

Once they got their money and I signed they don't care.

Clearly they're not interested in new business

I emailed a sales enquiry on June 8th and was assured I would receive a response from the sales team. Over a week later...tumbleweed.
If this is the standard of their pre-sales customer service, I dread to think what their after-sales is like!

Jemca Enfield - Extremely Dishonest

Jemca Enfield, the sales man I dealt with promised free services for 3 years as had been granted to my father when he had bought his car from the same showroom before. Tried to book car in for service to be told no documentation of that deal. When I complained I was effectively called a liar. The salesman had promised the car would be due for delivery on a certain day. On that day he appeared oblivious to his promise and instead offered other days later that week stating he hadn’t done the paperwork or got the car valeted. No apology!
As soon as they get your cash, customer service goes out of the window! It’s a highly unprofessional and untrustworthy organisation! Buy your car somewhere else!

Do NOT use this dealership

Do NOT use this dealership! They are dishonest, unreliable and have very poor customer service.
After being in desperate need for a car I got a friend to drive me from Sidcup to Croyden to purchase I car that I was interested in.
After test driving and speaking to one of their sales team, Sanjiv Patel, I agreed to purchase a Toyota Auris. I completed the paperwork and paid for the car on the same day. I was told the car was to be ‘prepared’ before I can take it home the following week.
A few days passed and still no response. I called multiple times and each time I called on the status of the car I was told Sanjiv would call me back (they gave me so many excuses; he was with a client, he was in a meeting, he was on training, he wasn’t working that day… just to name a few..) but still did not get a response. After the collection date had arrived I called again but this time stayed on the phone until Sanjiv was available. He told me he needed to look into it… I never got a response.. So I got my friend who took me to the dealership, to enquire about the car from a different number. Sanjiv called back immediately to him and said the car was no longer available. It was sold a few days, to someone else after I had already paid for the car. Sanjiv promised ‘give me one more day and I will find you another car with a better deal’, but as expected he never called me nor my friend.
Another week had passed and I had to ask their management team to get involved. We then asked for a refund for the car and was liaising with Sarim Ali. It’s now been 2 and half weeks since we paid Toyota the money. I’m Still yet to hear from anyone including the complaints manager, Elaine. I still don’t have my money.

I have just been fed a bunch of lies just to delay my money. I am still car-less I can’t take my 2 young children to places they want to go. I am unable to purchase another car as Toyota are holding my money for no reason. This is their fault and Me and my family are having to pay the consequences of their poor processes and dishonesty.

Collected car on the 07 Jan 22 after…

Collected car on the 07 Jan 22 after 5pm Jemca Croydon. The very next day, noticed that the wing mirror light wasn't working. Tried to contact the showroom but no answers however, if you select the sales option you do get through to someone, WONDER WHY!!. After few messages left for the sale Person Estella to contact us & emails then, come up the excuses - from "we must have caught the wing mirror with something", "they need to order a bulb", they "need to book a ramp at the service centre" Supposedly a massive company like Jemca, didn't have a bulb in stock. Didn't realised to check the wing mirror you need to take the car on a ramp at the service centre. We finally get the car sorted a week after & it was a lose bulb. The next issue when purchasing the car, it comes with 12 month breakdown cover from AA & we were told by Estella we should receive our AA breakdown membership cover within 4 weeks. After 4 weeks we send an email & were told to wait a bit more. It's now 7 weeks still not received any membership through the post. Another sets of emails, we were then told that we can contact AA ourselves & to quote the car registration number. We did just that & guess what? The car is not registered on AA databases. We were told by AA agent that the Dealership/Salesperson should have registered the car & provide us with a Reference/offer code then we can contact AA to activate the membership. Well done Estella for doing absolutely nothing apart of course for taking our money, earning your commission & tried to sell us lots of Add-ons at exorbitant prices to bump up your commission - from paint protection, to insurance gaps, car dash cam & even car mats. I wonder what would happen if I had a breakdown! Avoid.

We have a van under warranty

We have a van under warranty. The engine is not starting. Jemca have had the van for three weeks and they can’t find the fault. We have not received a courtesy car nor a time frame when the car will be fixed. We can not operate without this van and it is seriously damaging our business. Don’t touch them
