Excellent Service from Mike (HPL Stockport)

Mike has been extremely helpful in answering my enquiries on a used car which I had seen on the website. I live in the north 350 miles away, excellent communications are the key. He is also very friendly and patient. I really appreciate for his support in my car purchase.

Bought a car from them 12 months ago…

Bought a car from them 12 months ago and was told it came with two keys. When I went to collect it, they suddenly claimed they’d “lost” the second key and expected me to pay for it myself. After months of chasing, I had no choice but to go through Mercedes
I also paid extra for tyre & alloy cover and an extended warranty—both of which now seem completely pointless. Had a tyre pressure issue? Not covered. So what exactly did I pay for?
Now I’ve put the car in for an MOT and a £300 service, only for it to fail and come back with a quote of over £1000 for repairs. So I’m now looking at over £1300 in total—and surprise surprise, the “extended warranty” doesn’t cover that either.
All of this within just 12 months of owning the car, and I’ve only done 6000 miles. It’s an absolute joke

AVOID

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with HPL and would strongly advise others to think twice before purchasing from them.

I bought a CUPRA Formentor, and within just a month of ownership, the car developed a fault. What followed was a long and frustrating process - they attempted to fix the issue four separate times, but none of those attempts were successful. This left me without a properly functioning vehicle and with very little confidence in their service.

Eventually, they agreed to accept my rejection of the car. However, they then charged me 45p per mile for the usage during the time I owned it. I tried to discuss this with them, as I felt it was unfair given the ongoing issues and failed repair attempts, but they were completely unwilling to engage in any meaningful conversation.

Since then, communication has been extremely poor. Emails are being ignored, and phone calls are not being returned. I’ve now had to escalate the matter into a legal case, and even in this process, they have been uncooperative.

Overall, the experience has been stressful and disappointing from start to finish. I would strongly recommend avoiding HPL and choosing a more reputable and customer-focused dealer.

Avoid. There are better more honest dealers.

Very poor experience with HPL motors. Girlfriend Bought a Cupra Formentor last year, it was failing with safety warnings and despite 4 attempts to repair the vehicle, it was ultimately rejected. Managers unresponsive to issues and then trying to charge 45p per mile for the rejection (their fault) which is completely unreasonable. Have an ongoing legal case with them which they are barely responding to. Managers appear to come and go whether it’s Mr Crank or his predecessor, none of them take any accountability and are purposefully obstructive (with a smile on their face of course).. Stay clear and look elsewhere as if you have a problem you’re on your own!

I have recently bought a new car at the oldham branch with Adrian. The process from start to finish was very smooth and nothing was too much trouble for him. I was kept well informed and was so happy with my car when I collected it. Adrian is a fabulous salesman and I would highly recommend him and HPL Motors as a whole. I will be returning in the future for my next car!
