Richmond a pleasure to deal with.

My son and I were made to feel valued. The purchase process was not hurried and everything was explained. Ginelle was absolutely brilliant, caring and very professional all the way through.
It was a pleasure to buy a car from her and Richmond Group.

Really good communications and a customer focused approach made the whole experience of the insurance claim and getting my car fixed smooth and easy for me to navigate through. The body shop manager Dave is a real star.

Unacceptable Delays and Customer Treatment

After agreeing to sell my car to Richmond, I was given a collection date. My wife took time off work specifically to be available for the handover. However, by 1:00 pm on the scheduled day, no one had arrived, and we were informed that no one would be coming.

I then contacted the manager to raise my concerns, only to be met with a dismissive response — I was told, “tough, this is company policy,” and that the purchase would simply be cancelled. This was both unprofessional and completely unacceptable, especially given the inconvenience already caused.

Despite this, after further discussion, I reluctantly agreed to proceed with the sale. To my surprise, the collection eventually took place the following day.

Unfortunately, the issues didn’t stop there. When I attempted to settle the outstanding finance on the vehicle, I was told that the maximum I could pay over the phone was £1,000. This left me in an impossible situation, as I was not prepared to travel across the country just to make a payment in person.

After nearly three weeks of wasted time, poor communication, and unacceptable service, I had no choice but to cancel the sale altogether.

To be clear: this experience has been deeply frustrating and disappointing. Based on my dealings with your company, I would strongly advise others to avoid Richmond at all costs. This has been a complete waste of time, handled with little regard for customer experience or basic professionalism.

Hi Liam,
Thank you for sharing your recent experience with us. I would like to begin by sincerely apologising for the frustration, inconvenience, and disappointment caused throughout your attempted vehicle sale with Richmond.

I completely understand how upsetting it must have been for your wife to take time off work, only to be told at short notice that the handover would not take place. While I’m relieved to hear the collection eventually took place the following day, the subsequent difficulties you encountered when trying to settle the outstanding finance — and the lack of flexibility or clear communication around this — only added to an already negative experience.

Please email customerservice@richmondmotorgroup.com if you have not done so for us to look into this further.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and I’m truly sorry for the way this was handled.

Kind regards
Mae

A slightly unusual five star review…

A slightly unusual five star review perhaps, as I didn't end up with a car! I had been looking around for a replacement for my 14 year old, incredibly reliable, Fabia, when I stumbled upon the Swift in the Suzuki dealer, right next door to the Skoda place. This two year old example drove brilliantly, and, because I wanted to check out one or two things before finally commiting to it I placed a small 'holding' deposit.
My main concern was not with the car (like new), but with my driveway - I had never bothered to put a dropped kerb in as the kerb outside my parking area is very low. Checking specs I realised that the air dams behind the front bumper might be set a bit too low. Staff suggested that I take a second test drive to my home to test it out. Alas, the air dams were just too low.
At this point I must mention Ginelle, a really excellent saleslady with a lovely cheerful disposition, who tried very hard to think of a solution. In the end I took a refund of my deposit, but I shall now be 'regrouping', starting the progess of getting the drop kerb in, and going back for more in a month or two.
For anyone who is thinking of going round the various motor dealers looking for a good small 'Fiesta' size car, I would advise you to start here first - the Swift is excellent, especially with the CVT automaitc gearbox. If you want to avoid the 'kerb' problem, go for the most recent models (24 and 25 I think). They are not that expensive, and interest rates are competitive. Oh, and another 'thankyou' to Ginelle for running across in the pouring rain to retrieve my coat which I had left int the car. Excellent, in all respects.
