Bad after sales service

Collected our new Dethleffs on the 18th of March, had various issues with the van from day one,I feel like I’ve not had a great response, sometimes no response from the sales person regarding the issues. The van popped a coolant pipe on the 27th causing it to overheat, Fiat assistant came out and did a temp repair to get me home, The issue got reported to sales/service, 8 weeks in still not had any of the issues sorted by Erwin. I feel like they’re happy to take your money, then ignore you.
Bad after care service.

Dreadful service - my van took 8 months to change the locks!

I am writing this review after 8 months of dismal, frustrating service from this company. My mother's motorhome was recovered to this garage in September 2024 after being stolen. All it required to repair was to change the locks and fix 2 interior blinds as very little damage had occurred as result of the theft.
Communication from the garage was abysmal. Promises to call with updates never happened, requiring my 74 year old mother to have to call them repeatedly for updates. It took over 4 months to source the parts (when we were told it should be 3 weeks by their service manager when we visited in January - he has subsequently left the business).
Once parts were obtained, it then took many, many phone calls from my mother, my brother and I to try and get anything done with them.
The van was finally returned to my mother this week (May 2025), over 8 months after they first received it.
We had to resort to travelling to the garage to speak to customer service as they continually failed to respond to phone call enquires for information.
The final insult was that the van was delayed being returned as it was claimed that they need to valet it. The van arrived in a filthy state so no valeting had been done. When my mother called to ask why this hadn't been done she was promised someone would call her back in 10 mins..... that was 4 days ago and guess what. yep still waiting.
We will be following up this complaint with trading standards as the garage has charged her insurance company £7000 for the work completed (including valeting).
My mother feels she has been treated dreadfully and we agree.

UPDATE IN RESPONSE TO YOUR REPLY:
- The van was NOT valeted. My mother has videoed the state of the van as it was returned to her. There is grit on the floor. The footwell mats were tossed into the back. There was packaging strewn around the back.
- We have all the packaging for the parts you were waiting for as you left them lying in the van and they are dated January so you’ve had them for 5 months.

So either you are incompetent or lying. The number of other bad reviews on here is quite telling.

Hi Stephen,

We're sorry to see your 1-star review, especially given the circumstances and the efforts made throughout this process.
The vehicle was recovered to us following its theft and arrived without any keys. As you advised that no spare set was available, we had to access the vehicle ourselves and order a complete new set of barrels and keys. This could only be done with the insurance company’s approval, which we awaited before beginning any work.
Initially, a claim was submitted for the external damage. Once we gained access to the interior, separate claims were required for the lock set and for interior repairs - again, all subject to insurance approval before work could proceed.

This process, combined with sourcing parts from Germany, naturally led to some delays. During its time with us, the vehicle also required an MOT, which it failed. You requested that we include MOT-related repairs within the insurance claim; however, we had to decline as they were unrelated to the theft incident.

As the final parts were still pending delivery, you agreed to pay for them in the meantime so the vehicle could be collected. We also confirmed that we would reimburse you once the insurance payment is received.

We have dealt directly with you throughout, rather than your mother, so we’re unsure why she would feel personally mistreated.

Lastly, the vehicle was fully valeted inside and out prior to handover and was certainly not returned in a dirty condition.

We always strive to act in accordance with insurance guidelines and provide clear communication, and we regret that you feel otherwise.

Helpful staff

Helpful staff, especially Hanna, the only improvement would be to have timed ‘slots’ for shorter repair jobs where owners could wait for a shorter fixed time. Having said that, once they had recognised the issue it was soon fixed.

Travelworld Erwin Hymer Centre Stafford

We went to Travelworld as they had a wide range of vehicles for us to see before making our decision. We liked the Hymer range and had specific requirements. We were made welcome and Reece Penn showed us a number of different vehicles to identify which were likely to be most suitable for us. Reece then took us through the vehicle configurator to give us a ball park cost. We narrowed it down to two vehicles and made the final decision on their stand at the Motorhome and Caravan Show at the NEC. They were very patient with us and allowed us plenty of time to make the choice. We placed the order and booked a build slot. Reece helped us with the choice of options and was always available on the phone when needed. The vehicle has been delivered on time and on budget. We are delighted with it. The handover was thorough and now we look forward to enjoying our new Motor Home. We are pleased to recommend Travelworld for an excellent range of vehicles to suit many budgets and good service throughout. We will be returning to Travelworld for vehicle and habitation service in the future.

Air conditioning fitting

We booked in to have air con installed,as an in out same day appointment. impressed with all the reminders and communication. Arrived at 8:30, Hannah had the worksheet, however didn’t have a clue what we were in for. Eventually sorted and told that we needed to be back for 15:30 (email said 17:00). Left the site, we were called at midday, informing us that they needed the van until the next day.

1: we live 100 miles away
2: we were using the motorhome for a week in Shrewsbury, taking one day to go to Stafford
3: All our equipment was in Shrewsbury

After numerous stressful phone calls, they agreed that we could have the motorhome back at 17:15.

Hugely dissatisfied and disappointed.

Bring back Harry, he was amazing.

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologise for any miscommunication regarding the curing time of the air conditioning sealant. Our advisor, who is new to the team, was unaware of this requirement at the time of booking, and we acknowledge that this should have been communicated to you in advance.

That said, we did our utmost to ensure your vehicle was returned to you the same day as planned, including assigning extra manpower and having staff stay behind to complete the work. Our Service Manager also personally kept you updated throughout the process.

We regret that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate your input as it helps us improve our service moving forward.

Thank you

Quick response.

After having an EBL problem yesterday morning, the whole service team were very helpful in sourcing a replacement and getting us in first thing today to fit a replacement. Additionally, although not booked in prior to arrival they also squeezed us in for some outstanding warranty work; getting us away before midday. Quick, easy and all with a smile.. Many thanks to the whole team.

Happy to be back as a customer

Jake took my initial call as I have been a previous customer although I had gone into a competitive brand in recent years we kept in touch.. great welcome, great selection on display ( this has always been a big plus for me ) you can't spend this sort of money off a brochure, spent a couple of hours looking at the different versions of the same van and others on site just to be sure and agreed on the model we wanted. Deal done, extras to be retro fitted ordered, collected a few weeks later for the new plate, great video pre delivery and excellent communication prior to delivery keeping me updated . Its the same old story, deal with a huge group and nobody cares, this is a family owned and run company ,so they do care, good old fashioned personal care and at the end of the day we all know people deal with people ... Happy to recommend ,if you are looking for a new Motorhomes ,go take a look they always have a huge choice.

Don’t touch this dealership

Don’t touch this dealership. I can’t honestly believe what I’ve just been told. So I turned up for a service at 8.30 this morning (as I was told to do so) and was told when I booked the service it would take around 2 hours. At 12 noon I asked how much longer my vehicle would be, to be told it hadn’t yet gone to the workshop. At this point I asked to see the service manager and waited 15 minutes and didn’t show. I went downstairs and asked where he was and apparently he was eating his lunch.
About 10 minutes later he rocked up with a complete attitude and told me it was now in the workshop and would be a further 1 1/2 hours. This was conveniently after I had asked them to have the vehicle back, as I wasn’t waiting any longer. I asked him why I had been told at the time of booking that it would take 2 hrs. He said “you never should have been told that as we don’t have time slots, so if you don’t like it go elsewhere”.
Not only was I taken back by this attitude, but other customers were privy to this conversation and were disgusted. Apparently this attitude is common practice.
I am a business owner and if my staff ever talked to anyone like this, I’d be appalled.
Don’t touch Erwin Hymer unless you are willing to sit around all day waiting and want to be spoken to like dirt.
Erwin Hymer - if you want to build on your customer base then send your so called Customer Services Manager Rob King for some serious customer service training , if you don’t keep doing what you’re doing, as soon you won’t have any customers.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

When booking your service, we advised that we would do our best to have your vehicle ready by lunchtime but that this was not a guaranteed time, as service times can vary. Our team should have made it clearer that you would likely be on-site for the majority of the day, and we regret any misunderstanding.

Regarding your interaction with our staff, we acknowledge that there was frustration on both sides. However, it’s important to note that our Service Manager, Rob, was met with shouting during your conversation. While we always strive to handle situations professionally, we also expect respectful communication in return.

Finally, when you stated that you would not return, Rob simply acknowledged your decision. We understand that long wait times can be frustrating, and we always aim to improve our processes where possible, but in order to give the best service for your motorhome, we take time to be thorough.
