Need to improve

Went to hand over car and had to wait at counter. Someone came and then dealt with some one who came after me first without asking who is here first.
No call given that car is ready to collect. I had to call and call was diverted to headaoffice number.
Need to improve their system. Thanks

Forced to use them by insurance company.

No home service after originally having it booked to be at home. Had to waste a whole morning going to Trafford park. Cost me a fortune in taxis as no where to wait at the unit. Just told to 'get an uber'!
Staff in office were grumpy, off hand and looked utterly bored. Just a scruffy place with zero customer service.

We are truly sorry to hear about the significant inconvenience and frustration you experienced with the change from a home service to having to travel to our Trafford Park location. We understand the additional cost and difficulty this caused, especially with the lack of waiting facilities. We also regret that our staff appeared unhelpful and that you found our premises unsatisfactory. We are reviewing this internally to improve our service.

First and foremost

First and foremost, the customer service experience was impeccable. The person who was assigned to look after my car thoroughly explained things to so brilliantly. Things that I did not know well, or consider. Then he allowed me to decide on what to do based on the very useful pieces of information that he had given me. He was so professional, so knowledgeable and had the passion to satisfy me as a customer.

The absolute worst company I have ever…

The absolute worst company I have ever dealt with.
I had an appointment booked for three weeks. On the day of the appointment, I received an automated message with a tracking link for the technician. I followed the tracker and waited for my turn, only for the tracking system to suddenly stop working when my appointment was due. Nobody turned up, and I was left sitting there with absolutely no idea what was happening.
I then spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get through to customer services. When I eventually managed to speak to someone through the online chat, they couldn't actually do anything to help. What is the point of having a customer service chat system if the people operating it have no ability to resolve a problem?
The following day, I had to chase them again. Eventually, I received a text telling me to contact the Manchester branch directly. I tried ringing the Manchester branch over and over again, but nobody answered.
I then contacted the national customer care line, only to be told that they couldn't do anything either. They also tried contacting the Manchester branch and couldn't get through. A message was supposedly left for the branch manager to contact me, but unsurprisingly, nobody called.
I continued trying the Manchester branch myself — still no answer.
After waiting three weeks for an appointment, having nobody turn up, receiving no explanation, spending hours chasing different departments and being passed around systems where apparently nobody has the authority or ability to actually help a customer, I eventually had to call again that evening just to arrange a refund.
The complete lack of communication and customer service is astonishing. If an appointment can't be fulfilled, at the absolute minimum you would expect someone to contact the customer and explain what is happening — not simply leave them waiting and then expect them to spend their own time chasing the company for answers.
An absolutely diabolical service from start to finish. I would not recommend this company to anyone.

We are truly sorry to hear about the incredibly frustrating experience you had with our service. We understand how disappointing it must have been to wait three weeks for an appointment, only for the technician not to arrive and the tracking system to fail. We acknowledge the significant amount of time and effort you spent trying to reach our customer service and the Manchester branch, and we regret that you were passed between departments without a resolution. We recognize the complete lack of communication you experienced and the inconvenience this caused. We are actively reviewing our processes to prevent such situations from recurring and to ensure our teams are equipped to provide effective assistance. Your feedback is invaluable as we work to improve our service and communication channels.

My wife took the car

My wife took the car, the team installed a completely scratched windscreen. They said they could not see it until it was installed, which is (very) hard to believe by the amount of scratches. Thankfully my wife spotted it and called them (another astonishing situation because they installed the glass and did not see the scratches? Highly doubt...). They said they would replace it, no question but, now she will need to go there again. Let's see if the team plays intelligently this time instead of smarty...
