I am extremely disappointed with my…

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at this dealership.

Shortly after driving away in my newly purchased car, I discovered a chip in the passenger-side window. This should have been identified during the dealership’s inspection and preparation process before the vehicle was handed over. Finding a defect like this immediately after purchase completely undermined my confidence in the quality checks carried out on the vehicle.

What made the situation even worse was the attitude of the manager. Rather than taking responsibility and resolving the issue straight away, I was initially met with resistance and a reluctance to replace the damaged window. As a customer who had just spent a significant amount of money on a vehicle, I found this response both disappointing and unprofessional. It should not have taken persistence on my part to have what I believe was a reasonable issue addressed.

Although the dealership has now agreed to replace the window, that does not change the stress, inconvenience and loss of confidence this experience has caused. A customer should not have to argue for a fault that should never have been present on a car being sold in the first place.

Good customer service is about taking ownership of problems and treating customers fairly from the outset. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here, and because of the poor handling of the situation and the manager’s attitude, I would not feel confident recommending this dealership to others!

I also can’t stress strongly enough that anyone buying a car from this dealership should check the vehicle’s history carefully. The car I purchased had an MOT on 25 June that recorded a chipped passenger-side window and spongy disc brakes. However, the MOT certificate presented to me, carried out just 17 days later, did not mention either issue.

What concerns me most is that the chip was still in the passenger-side window when I purchased the car, and the dealership has since agreed to replace it. Seeing a defect recorded on an earlier MOT, omitted from a later one, and then finding that the defect was still present when the car was sold has seriously damaged my confidence in the dealership’s inspection and preparation standards.

EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding, pressure-free service from Andrew!

​We recently took our Cupra Formentor in for a service and ended up looking around the showroom. Andrew approached us warmly, offered help, and then let us browse in peace—no pushy sales tactics whatsoever.

​My wife fell in love with the Cupra Tavascan, so Andrew walked us through our part-exchange options and helped us secure a great deal on a 9-month-old model. He set up a test drive straight away, and we bought the car the same day.

​My wife and I have bought 28 cars over 33 years, so we know good customer service when we see it (and we've walked out of dealerships before when sales reps ignored my wife!). Andrew was professional, inclusive, and brilliant at his job.

​He’s a true credit to the dealership and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

​— Stephen Paintain

It’s fantastic to know that Andrew provided a warm, welcoming, and completely pressure-free experience from the moment you arrived. We firmly believe customers should be able to browse comfortably and make decisions at their own pace, so it’s wonderful to hear that Andrew struck exactly the right balance.

We’re thrilled that your wife found the perfect CUPRA Tavascan and that Andrew was able to guide you through the part-exchange process, arrange a test drive, and secure a great deal on the vehicle. It sounds like everything came together perfectly.

Your comments are especially meaningful given your extensive car-buying experience over the years. To hear that Andrew stood out for his professionalism, inclusivity, and customer-focused approach is fantastic recognition of the service he provides. We’re particularly pleased to hear that both you and your wife felt equally valued throughout the process.

Thank you for your recommendation and for recognising Andrew as a true credit to the dealership. We’ll be sure to share your wonderful feedback with him and the wider team at CUPRA Derby.

We hope your wife enjoys every mile in her new Tavascan, and we look forward to welcoming you both back in the future.

I recently collected my new Cupra…Excellent service

I recently collected my new Cupra Formentor through the Motability Scheme, and I wanted to thank Fitz for making what could have been a very difficult experience so much easier.

After my accident, I found change quite challenging. Before the accident, I drove an Audi A6 and loved larger cars. Moving to an Audi A3 through Motability was already a big adjustment, and when Audi stopped offering Motability vehicles, I was understandably anxious about having to find something new.

I did a lot of research looking for a car that would give me a similar feel and level of comfort, which eventually led me to Cupra. From the moment I met Fitz, he was welcoming, patient, and understanding. I explained that I struggle with change and was nervous about choosing a different car. Rather than rushing me, he took the time to listen carefully and talk me through the different models available, helping me understand which options might suit my needs best.

What stood out most was that Fitz made me feel I could trust him. He listened to what was important to me and genuinely wanted to help me find the right car, not just make a sale. Thanks to his guidance, I surprisingly made my decision quite quickly and chose a Cupra Formentor.

I absolutely love the car. Although handing back my Audi A3 felt a little like a funeral and was quite an emotional moment, Fitz made the transition much easier and gave me confidence that I was making the right choice.

Thank you, Fitz, for your patience, understanding, professionalism, and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend both Fitz and the Cupra team to anyone looking for a new car.

Absolutely recommend!

I recently purchased a used car from Vertu Cupra Derby, and the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

A special thank you to Ben, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, taking the time to answer all my questions and making sure I felt completely comfortable with every step of the purchase. There was never any pressure, just genuine advice and excellent customer service.

After months of looking for a car he made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Everything was handled efficiently, communication was excellent, and the car was presented in immaculate condition when I collected it.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new car and couldn't be happier with the service I received. I would highly recommend Vertu Cupra Derby to anyone looking for a hassle-free car-buying experience. Thanks again to Ben and the team for going above and beyond!

Dear Mandeep

We are disappointed to read your review and do not recognise the version of events described. Our team attempted to assist you professionally by providing advice based on your Motability eligibility and vehicle change timeframe, with the intention of ensuring you received the most appropriate experience closer to your renewal date. Whilst we appreciate you were unhappy with this advice, we do not accept that the level of language and behaviour directed towards our dealership and contact centre colleagues was appropriate.
We would also like to clarify that the Sales Executive involved does not smoke and therefore we dispute this allegation. We remain committed to maintaining a respectful environment for both our customers and colleagues at all times.
