crazy going on.
unprofessional customer service they cant even be bothered to call you back 4 times now the same thing a call back.never happens.
I only wished I had known it would be this complicated.I called 4 times now just to enquire if they would be able to return my mobility car as I am just far to unwell and now having tests for a virus infection.All they need to say is we dont do it or we do but for a charge which I would more likely agree on.
its not rocket science its just called being good at customer service skills They have had the car since 24th Feb and still cant give a straight answere.
mobility are no better either...maybe rethink about renewing..

Stay away from this dealership!
I purchased an MG ZS from Vertu Motors Harrogate on 29 September 2025. Within two weeks, the vehicle developed starting faults which were promptly reported and documented. A repair was undertaken; however, the identical fault reoccurred within three weeks. Additionally, the rear wiper and washer have stopped functioning.
As a professional driving instructor, vehicle reliability is critical. The ongoing defects have significantly impacted my business and income. I was forced to hire a dual-control vehicle due to the vehicle’s failure and delayed return. Despite being asked to provide the hire invoice, reimbursement remains outstanding.
Following the failed repair, I exercised my Final Right to Reject under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 but indicated I would be willing to accept a replacement vehicle as a statutory remedy rather than escalate matters. I requested confirmation within 7 days along with details of suitable replacement vehicles. To date, I have received no response.
The vehicle faults themselves are concerning, but the lack of communication and urgency in resolving the matter has been particularly disappointing. I hope the company now takes meaningful steps to resolve this properly.
If matter is not resolved and Vertu Vauxhall Harrogates management Jonathon Groom and Thomas Weets keeps ignoring my emails then I’ll have no option but take further action and get Motor Ombudsman and finance company involved alongside small claims court to seek reimbursement for outstanding invoice.

Right from the start Paul was extremely helpful and communicative every step of the way with the lease of a new car. The day we came in to sign paperwork we also dealt with Sarah who also helped me with sourcing another car, meaning a double handover! - great service always, have used them for the purchase of my last two cars and would be sure to use them again! - see you in two years!

They drop everything to help us
They drop everything to help us! 27 mins before my sons driving test the dash showed air bag fault. Thought it had been reset but it came back
On after a stop to
Have lunch ahead of the test. They drop everything, service reception staff and workshop team were straight on to it. With 2 mins to spare one of the receptionist team arrived with the car ready to go, no warning lights and the car ready for the test! Invoice sent over the net and my sons driving test completed and passed! Amazing effort by the team at the garage and my talented son!
Thank you so much! Amazing service and it meant more to me than you can possibly imagine.

Good morning Joanne,
Thank you so much for sharing such an incredible review. What a moment that must have been — the pressure of a driving test and then an unexpected warning light appearing right beforehand. We’re delighted to hear that the team were able to step in immediately and get everything resolved in time.
It’s great to know the service reception and workshop teams were able to act so quickly, and even better that the car made it back with minutes to spare, ready for the test. Congratulations to your son on passing — what a fantastic outcome all round.
We truly appreciate your kind words, and we’re glad the support meant so much during such an important moment for your family.
Kind regards,
Dean

Made to feel welcome. Looked after very well while waiting for finance completion.
Good explanation of where to find things on the dashboard and how to use.
Finally when we were handed the keys to our new car both Paul and the finance lady gave us a lovely send off.

Best 'ever' ...
Having been a customer of Vertu Knaresborough for many years (including their previous incarnations as Nidd Vale/Bristol Street Motors), I truly believe they have achieved 'perfection' in customer service; friendly, helpful, considerate of my circumstances, attention to detail, and just generally 'good eggs'!
They recently contacted me with a 'potential' upgrade to my PCP agreement, with an offer that could not be refused - making the whole process simple, easy, and effected within two weeks, and now I have a new car! YAY!! THANK YOU especially to the sales Manager Sarah, and to Jai who led me through the whole process. You're the best ... Grateful Thanks - as always, you have a customer for life.
