Hi Harvey - Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We take all comments seriously and strive to implement changes to prevent similar circumstances in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by not offering you the option to reserve the vehicle when you initially called to make the appointment. Typically, we extend this option to all customers to prevent disappointment, but unfortunately, it was overlooked during your call. The car was indeed available and ready for reservation through three different portals: the manufacturer's website, our own website, and also Autotrader. Another customer had spotted the vehicle online and chose to reserve it, as all our cars have the option for reservation, just like any of our customers. Since your appointment was scheduled for the next day, the team member assisting you was unaware of this online reservation, which led to us not informing you in the morning to save you the journey to our centre. Despite our efforts to find an alternative vehicle, nothing suitable was available as you mentioned. We did inform you that the car had been sold, so we were surprised to see that you still attempted to reserve it online even though it was unavailable. Rest assured, the reservation has been promptly refunded to you. Please note that it may take up to 24 hours for cars to be removed from all websites, which is why it was still showing as available after the reservation had been made.

Mixed experience at Burrows kia for after sales, ineffective diagnosis wasting everyone's time.

After paying for work car left with heavy diesel smell in cabin. Unacceptable.

Fleet sales didn't bother to call back, took business elsewhere.

New car sales attempted pressure sale. Not interested.

Toyota Doncaster

Visited Doncaster Toyota Monday evening, Luke met my husband and myself. He was extremely informative and helpful with various options to purchase, friendly and professional. Apart from the fact he was a Leeds fan, I would highly recommend visiting Burrows of Doncaster and seeing Lukes friendly face. No hard sell patter, genuinely interested in providing great service. I hope you go far!

Had a minor problem with my CHR

Had a minor problem with my CHR, and was turned away at one Toyota dealer. Jack in Wickersley sorted me out with a superb attitude and a smile on his face.
Brilliant, thank you for your excellent customer service

Having bought a second hand Toyota Urban Cruiser 2Weeks ago, I remember an old mechanic telling me! Make sure the Battery is ok,
So searching for for a new battery, I went on line.
Halfords 146.49 including fitting.4year warranty,
Kwikfit £115.00 includes fitting, 3year warranty.
AA £139.99, including fitting, 5year warranty.
Borrows( Wickersly) £170.99. 3year warranty.
How can they charge £30.00 to fit a new battery, this is not acceptable! Shame on you Borrows of Wickersly.
So AA will come and fit new Battery for me….

Dreadful Experience Burrows Toyota Sheffield

I had a Dreadful experience with Burrows Toyota Sheffield on 14/11/2023 . I took my car in at 8:30am for a planned Service & MOT ( They had called me the day before to confirm the appointment ! ) This WAS NOT booked in as a ‘ Leave with us job ‘ I would not do that!!!
At 3:30pm that day I had heard nothing so I went to the garage to find my car in the exact same place I had parked it some 7 !! hours earlier . No call/ no text/ no email / nothing.
When I arrived I was informed “ they are busy !! “ I waited for my car as they proceeded to start the job and to say the Service & MOT was rushed would not be an exaggeration. Both the service and MOT was done on my car in approximately 60/70 minutes ! I have been a customer at this branch of Burrows for the past 13 years but I was wary of them when they grossly over quoted me to have a clutch supplied & fitted 6 months ago . I also recently found out that my previous car ( Yaris ) they told me was not repairable as it had a fault so I foolishly bought another car . They lied to me ,they repaired the car which is to this day still on the road .
Never have I felt so violated.

Hi Gillian, thank you for taking the time to leave a review, and we are sorry that you felt the service you received from Burrows was only one star. Having looked into this we can see that you had booked the vehicle in for a service and MOT as a “leave with us job”. This means that we do the work within our working hours, which is between 8.30am and 5.30pm. Having checked the records we note that you had not requested the vehicle back by a particular time, so we arranged our workload to ensure the customers that required their cars back early were completed on time. When you arrived at 3.30pm it is correct that we had not yet commenced work. We had scheduled two technicians to work on the vehicle , which allows the service and MoT to be completed much faster. This is not an unusual situation to have two technicians working on one car towards the end of the working day to ensure that all work is completed. We are also sorry that you felt the price for a replacement clutch was over quoted. We only use genuine Toyota parts, fitted by fully training Toyota technicians. Our work is fully guaranteed, for both parts and labour, for 12 months. Should you have a like for like quote from another Toyota dealer we also offer to price match, however we cannot see anything on the records which would indicate you had offered us this opportunity. With regard to your previous car, which we note you part-exchanged some 6 years ago, we would dispute that anyone ever advised that the vehicle was not repairable. They may have advised that due to the cost of repair it was potentially unviable for you to repair the vehicle, however after giving you the price of the repair the choice to repair or not would lie with the customer. Unfortunately, due to the time frame we are unable to see what the problem was with the vehicle however we can assure you that at no time did Burrows carry out a repair on the vehicle after you part exchanged it. When a vehicle comes in part exchange a car dealership does have to dispose of them by some method and we can confirm that the vehicle was not repaired and sold by Burrows to a customer, but rather was disposed of via trade auction and we can only assume that they felt it was viable to repair and run.

Worst customer service!!

Worst customer service!!! I've given the. 1 star but they don't even deserve 1 star. I bought a used car from here in feb 2023. I trusted them and was happy that i am buying from toyota showroom from the salesperson Jamie Cogill and Manager. From April onwards i saw the colour on bumper started to fade. but i ignored it and thought it might not be that serious. In June it got more worse, hence i contacted them. They were helpful as they took the car and sorted out the issue by REPAINTING the bumper. I went to collect the car in the showroom as they requested me to collect it. I live very far from this place but i still went to collect it. I was happy as i thought my problem was resolved. But in july the colour on the bumper faded again. I was so surprised that toyota rotherham repainted with original paint but within a month it started fading again. Then i again called them in july. Salesperson Bob spoke with me. I sent him the photos. I asked him to ask his manager Jack to call me. But till 2 weeks no one called me. I kept calling them to get an update but every time it was said manager will call me. After two weeks Manager Jack called me and said he is aware of the issue and salesperson Jamie would call me back within 2-3 days and the issue will be resolved by him. I informed Jack that i am very busy and would not come to drop or collect the car. He assured me that i dont have to come and Jamie will sort everything. Now its sept but still i did not receive any call from Jamie. I am very busy in my business and hence could not contact earlier. I contacted them today and jamie told me that i have to come to drop the car and then they will be checking whether they can repair it or not. It is has made me furious.

MY QUESTION IS if they would have done a proper check and repair in the first instance, why would i call so many times. Even after calling a no. Of times they seen least bothered. When they needed to sell the car they used to keep calling.

Terrible Customer experience

Terrible Customer experience - disrespectful and discourteous.
If you book an appointment at a specific time then ve available at (or within 10 minutes) of that time. If you cannot be available at that time at least have the good manners to poke your head around the corner and tell the customer why. Is that too hard? Better still, just have someone actually engage with the waiting customer rather than just ignore them.
Don't be surprised if, after 45 minutes waiting, the customer isn't very happy. I'm not precious but this is just rude, particularly being a potential Motability customer. We don't expect better treatment just normal courtesy.
To make an infuriating situation worse, DO NOT carry out a handover and allow the engine to be idled in the showroom with the exhaust bellowing into the customer waiting area. I now know what noxious fumes taste and smell like - it's in our lungs and on our clothes!!
Still further, when a customer asks you to move the offending vehicle outside and said customer actually moves his car to enable that - at least attempt to show some good manners and NOT ignore them, carrying on poisoning a potential customer. At that point you'd lost the sale and quite rightly so.
AVOID - no interest in dealing with customers in even a remotely decent manner.
And don't waste your time writing in complain - they're not bothered and nor, it seems, are Mazda UK.
Not a good advertisement for the Car Industry. We'll take our custom elsewhere I'm sure they'll be glad of our money 💰

UPDATE

and now you add lying to the charge sheet!!!! Unbelievable beyond belief.
My account is 100% accurate. The only people who spoke to us was the Receptionist for 10 seconds and the salesman doing the handover and his reaction was to laugh!! As for asking us to move my vehicle - total fiction. I instigated moving my vehicle to ensure they moved the offending car.
We can see now we have had a lucky escape using these chancers

Hi Mr Goodman - we are sorry to hear about the experience you had during your recent visit to us. On this specific day in question, our sales team were short-staffed, which resulted in some unavoidable delays. The Sales Executive who had your appointment was running behind schedule and did make efforts to communicate this delay to you. Additionally, we understand that there was an issue with the vehicle inside our showroom, as it was in the process of being handed over to another customer. Unfortunately, the presence of a disabled parking bay located in front of our large showroom door inadvertently blocked the handover process. In an attempt to alleviate any inconvenience caused, our team offered to move your parked vehicle from the bay, but we understand that you declined this offer. Following this, our Sales Executive reached out to you to extend their sincere apologies and to arrange for a rescheduled appointment. We fully understand your decision to decline the rescheduling given the circumstances. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.

What customer service?

I'm disappointed with their customer service. My car went for its MOT and I had to phone and check whether it would be ready. They were waiting for a part which was due the next day. Fine. I phoned before 1pm to see what was happening with it and was told that the technicians were at lunch and would be back at 1 and the man would phone back. I phoned back before 2 only to find out that the man I'd spoken to had gone for lunch. I wrongly assumed that the bloke I'd spoken to would phone back within a few minutes of the technician coming back from lunch. Had he told me he was going for lunch I wouldn't have bothered phoning.
The customer service was so much better when it was Turnbull's; since they've been taken over by Burrows it's deteriorated. They should be the ones keeping me informed and I shouldn't have to keep phoning them.
Only once was I addressed by my name and that was when I went to collect my car. No smiles, no pleasantries, a bit of personal service would be nice.

Awful experience of buying approved car here!!

I will make this as honest as possible from my personal experience of buying used approved car from this branch.

First of all please don’t take their word of mouth when finalising the deal. What we agreed on was not clearly explained to me, I wanted and agreed that my gap insurance and Dent cover to be on monthly payment but they taken payment in full advance from my part exchange. Also incorrect information about cancellation of covers. I was told I can cancel anytime which is wrong you only have 14 days after that you cannot cancel it.

I was sold G3 ceramic coating @£379.00 but on paper it was £399.00.

I got to the dealership early on the day collection. The car was washed and to me it was looking ready however the scratches and chip mark was yet to be removed. And this was done in under 2 mins with fresh pain coming off my hands. The car didn’t felt like had G3 coating done and I was getting all mixed up answers.

Finally after carefully looking at the car it was fully covered into rust small dots all over car. They agreed to buff the car at their own time and wanting me to come another day which is not fair if I am buying £22,500+ car and cannot be sorted. I was told when I come to pick up the car it will be all ready. Ended up cancelling this deal. So heads up to few things here!

Don’t take their word, take it in writing.

Carefully and throughly check their used car stock before agreeing on anything.

The sales person (Luke) was good with saying yes yes and yes but on day one of collection it was full of surprises.

If they tell you over phone that car is in high demand Don’t fall for their £100 deposit trick over phone as when you want the refund back “which I yet haven’t still received” it can take forever chasing up
