Paint quality crap on kit fitted

Don’t get me wrong when I received the van it was stunning but after a few months i took it to the local body shop as front deffuser and painted grill that Swiss vans fitted to the front looked terrible and made van look tacky as all the paint was flaking off after the body shop inspection they told me that the parts fitted to van were not sanded down or primed before applying paint and also said the quality of paint wasn’t as good as Ford paint as he should me the front of the van that Ford painted and paint work is fine with no paint flaking or stone chips so I told them that Swiss vans were blaming stone chips for the cause and he said if done properly like Ford it wouldn’t cause paint to flake off don’t get me wrong I was sent a new splitter and grill by Swiss vans but body shop said they can’t guarantee there work as paint on parts is crap and they can’t coat it again as it’s not been prepared properly so I then asked Swiss if they could send me parts unpainted so the body shop could prep and spray themselves and was told they can’t as come in already painted so now I have a van a year old now and looks shite and I always replace my van every 3 years and will never buy a Swiss van again
I knew from the start you would blame stone chips I’ve had many of stone chips on my cars and van over the years and paint doesn’t just flake off on any so that theory of yours is crap just a get out clause the problem is from not doing the proper prep work before painting not my words but the 2 body shops I took van too and god knows what crap your talking about with your stats I bet you used A.I for them the matter of the fact is if you want a van to look good after 6 months don’t buy one from Swiss vans as I said paint work not up to standard

We take all feedback seriously and investigate every concern thoroughly.

For clarity, in the last year we supplied approximately 450 painted splitters. Of these, only 3 units (0.67%) were recalled as a precaution, not due to confirmed manufacturing or paint defects, but following reports of damage occurring under similar external usage conditions. As a gesture of goodwill, a replacement splitter was supplied.

The statistical likelihood of the same rare circumstances affecting both an original and a replacement component is approximately 1 in 22,500 (0.0044%), assuming independent events.

In addition, we have supplied over 6,500 unpainted black plastic grilles supplied as whole by our supplier in Europe, and this is the only grille that has ever required replacement, representing a rate of 1 in 6,500 (0.015%).

When viewed together, the probability of multiple independent component failures due to product defects occurring on the same vehicle is extremely low (approximately 1 in 146 million). From a quality-control and statistical perspective, this strongly indicates external factors rather than defects in materials or manufacturing.

Front-end components such as splitters and grilles are particularly exposed to stone impact and road debris, especially in conditions involving close following distances, debris-heavy roads, or motorway driving. In addition, frequent or high-pressure washing is widely recognised within the automotive industry as a factor that can worsen minor impact damage by lifting paint edges and accelerating visible chipping once micro-impacts are present.

Publicly available review history shows that this reviewer has posted six TripAdvisor reviews, five of which are negative, meaning 83% of their feedback across other businesses is unfavourable. This context is relevant when assessing how representative this review is.

Despite the absence of any identified manufacturing defect, we supplied replacement parts in good faith and engaged constructively throughout. Based on the data, our quality records, and industry-standard considerations, we are confident our products meet expected standards, and we now consider the matter resolved.

We remain committed to high-quality products, transparency, and fair customer support.

Outstanding from start to finish.

I don't normally leave reviews but I can't recommend these guys enough, seriously - anyone that's looking to buy a van or other commercial vehicle, give these guy's a call, ask for Tom because you won't be disappointed...!!!

I needed a commercial vehicle for private use as I'm not self employed and therefore paying the VAT upfront is quite a chunk of money to loose so needed it to be wrapped up in the monthly repayment. I'd already tried several other companies before Swiss Vans and non of them were interested. I'd pretty much given up and was looking at 2nd Hand vans until I came across Swiss Vans advert on Facebook. I sent a message (with very low expectation) and the next day I was contacted by Tom Jones (yes, a Welshman called Tom Jones who sells vans...!!!). Tom is the first person that actually took the time to listen to what I needed and how I needed it work. He went away and came back a couple of hours later and explained that initially this wasn't going to be easy to achieve but to leave it with him and that he'd call me the next day. To be honest, I didn't think I'd hear from him again but true to his word he called me the next day and said that he had it all worked out, all agreed and all in place ready to go. Tom fired over the paperwork, I paid the small holding deposit and a few weeks later the vans been delivered and completely exceeded my expectations.

I'm a great believer that 'People buy People', yes Swiss Vans are truly excellent and I'd go as far as to say that in my experience, they're better than the rest but like all other companies they're only as good as the people they have working for them. Tom - I can't thank you enough, you're a credit to Swiss Vans, and Swiss Vans - you're outstanding.

Made it very easy for me!

Alex was a pleasure to deal with, very down to earth and made things very simple for me. Nothing was too much trouble and above all, once the deal was made he still picks up the phone or calls me back straight away. Great aftersale too!
Thanks

Overall - great!

From start to finish my experience was overall great. Communication was excellent via phone and email. Sam went above and behond to get my vehicle to me the same week as I was going away so I really appreciate what he did there. And still if I have any questions Sam reply’s to emails more or less straight away. I’m very happy with my purchase. Would definitely use Swiss vans again. Thanks guys

Great Service

I have been looking into getting a VW Van with lots of whistles and Bells and was advised to contact Swiss Vans. Dealt with Ashley who took his time to run through various purchase options and went through all the extras I had in mind as well as those that would not work🙈. The attention to detail was great, as was his patience. I cannot fault their knowledge and professionalism and Swiss Vans would be my go to place for any more future purchases.
