Fantastic Customer Service and Communications

Extremely pleasant and cooperative interaction with Damon at Walters Motor Group. I recently acquired a vehicle previously sold by them and Damon was very helpful providing information pertaining to the vehicle's history. Whilst I did not purchase the vehicle through them, this experience would give me every confidence purchasing through Walters Motor Group in the future. Thank you!

Good customer service

Very pleased with the service and car. My daughter, a new driver, bought a budget priced trade in. Despite it being a trade in, a new MOT was issued. We could only collect on a Saturday because of work commitments so it had to be a 2 week process from viewing to collection, but we were kept up to date with progress of parts being received and MOT completed. Excellent communication.

First class service and friendly personnel.

Damon is a great ambassador for Walters Motor Group. This was the first time I have used a motor dealership and Damon made the whole process an enjoyable experience. I was kept informed at every stage of the process from viewing the vehicle through to it's collection. The service was first class and I would be pleased to recommend Walters Motor Group.

absolutely fantastic car buying experience

Damon was excellent in every way possible in the transaction of buying my BMW X5,to handing over the keys to my new BMW 520, I have just driven it 125 miles to my home and it was like driving a brand new car, not one that had done 99k. Would recommend Walters to anybody wishing to use a first class dealership.

Buying my car

The whole approach from when I first test drove a car through to picking it up was very professional. Although I waited a while before I was able to collect my car I was kept informed and updated on a number of occasions through emails and telephone calls. The member of staff I dealt with was always very polite, helpful and attentive. I felt listened to and my questions were always answered. Thank you for your wonderful personalised service.

Great Customer Experience at Walters…

Great Customer Experience at Walters Motor Group. Was looking for a car that will stand up to long business journeys. Walters have an easy to use website, with all of their stock listed, containing detailed professional photos of each vehicle. Informative and professional assistance given by Debbie, throughout my purchase journey with Walters. Competitive finance options available from Walters, as well as welcoming other lenders when purchasing. As part of the purchase process, the vehicles are MOT’d prior to purchase, as well as a service check and an even more thorough used car inspection. I chose the option to purchase the extended warranty 3 year warranty which includes breakdowns & recovery. Walters also provide post purchase assistance with vehicle issues if they occur.
I would thoroughly recommend Walters Motor Group when looking for a replacement or even your first vehicle. Would definitely use them again when the need arises.

Great experience from start to finish

Great experience from start to finish. We had been looking to find a car for our trips back to the UK and we knew it was going to be a little bit tricky as we live in Australia! But when we found this particular car the whole process was made very simple by speaking to Damon. I'm sure he thought we were time wasters at first! But we were able to transact this deal with the help also of my son who lives in the UK. We arrived back in the UK and was able to arrange the collection of the car with all the necessary checks done and a few jobs that were squeezed into Walters already busy schedule. They went above and beyond and Damon kept us in the loop even with phoning us in Australia! Thank you for your help with getting the car on time. It really was one thing less that we had to worry about after a long haul flight and a family bereavement to attend to.

I recently bought my son's first car from Walters Motors, and the entire experience was outstanding. From our initial phone conversation to the moment my son picked up the car, Debbie was incredibly helpful, informative, and professional throughout.

She made the process smooth and stress-free, and her attention to detail really stood out. What impressed me most was the thoughtful aftercare, a follow-up email to check everything was okay and to invite any further questions. That kind of service is rare and truly appreciated.

I would absolutely recommend Walters Motors, and especially Debbie, to anyone looking for a reliable and customer-focused motor company

Turned away after 50mile round trip

Had driven a 50 mile round trip to look at a van. Just to be told by a pompous salesman that I didn't make a reservation and he was too busy. He was standing around doing nothing when I pulled up. Lost out on a £10000 sale. Would certainly not go to again and definitely wouldn't recommend. You

Please be mindful when purchasing a car from Walter’s Motor Group!

Myself and my wife who was 35 weeks pregnant at the time we purchased a Ford Kuga from Walter’s garage in April this year. Due to our family expanding we were looking for a bigger car that would last us years. How wrong were we! In total the car was in our possession for a total of 88 days before we were told the car needed a new engine! Ended up costing us over £2000 in the space of 3 months! Be careful people!

Dear Peter,

We are sorry to read of your disappointment, though we must clarify that several points in your review are inaccurate. The vehicle passed all pre-sale checks and showed no signs of the issue at the time of sale. When the fault arose, we successfully appealed a rejected warranty claim on your behalf and secured approval for a full repair. You were also offered the option of exchanging the vehicle, but later chose to reject both repair and exchange and instead requested a refund. We advised this would be the least favourable option financially, but you elected to proceed.

Our refund deductions were based on industry guidance and fairly reflected the vehicle’s use. Warranty products are non-refundable outside the 14-day cooling-off period, and their use in this case was fully consistent with the terms agreed at purchase.

It is disappointing that, after lengthy discussions and what we believed was an amicable settlement, you have now chosen to publish a contradictory account. We always strive to resolve matters directly and fairly, and regret that your review does not reflect this.

We wish you and your family the very best for the future.

Regards WMG

Perfect blend of friendly and professional customer service.

I was very anxious about helping my son to buy his first car but I felt like we were in safe hands once we found Walters. I found their customer service to be a perfect blend of friendly and professional. My 17 year old loves his new car and I am relieved, that with the extended warranty, I can relax knowing any issues will be covered.

We were without a car as our Citreon…

We were without a car as our Citreon Berlingo that we had had for 16 years finally gave up. We looked on line at many garages and were impressed with a Citreon at Walters. We rang Damon and paid a holding fee on it, my husband then caught a bus from the city to Loddon. Not knowing how to get to Walters from where he had got off the bus he rang Damon who very kindly came out and met him in the car we were interested in. My husband was very pleased with the car and the service he received he paid a deposit with the balance to follow once we had had the money transferred to our bank account. We are in our late 70s and not good on the internet, Damon was very helpful telling us step by step what to do. Today we picked up the car we hope it treats us as well as Damon did purchasing this car.

Misleading, Dishonest, and Dangerous – Avoid at All Costs

Absolutely horrific experience buying a Mercedes E200 from Mr.Damon at WALTER MOTOR GROUP. I was lied to, misled, and sold a faulty vehicle that posed a serious safety risk to me and my family.

I drove 3 hours to view this car and specifically asked if I could take it home the same day — I was told no due to their "policy" and backlog and will do full checks on the vehicle to see it is safe to drive. I was properly brain washed, intimidated by his experience and influenced and forced to listen and agree to Mr. Damon. That delay wasted time and money. During the viewing, I pointed out a knocking noise in the engine and was told it's “normal” — it wasn’t.

After paying a deposit and signing paperwork, I later found out through an MOT check that the car was previously a TFL private hire vehicle — something that was NEVER disclosed and they drove the car 130 miles just to do test drive. This was intentionally hidden, despite being documented in the logbook I received after the purchase. When I raised this, I got a completely unprofessional and evasive response.

Post-sale issues? A blocked air filter, a failing alternator (cost me £600), and finally a blown head gasket — all within weeks. The car had clearly not been properly inspected, and it’s obvious the dealership just wanted to push this problem car out the door.

The level of dishonesty, negligence, and lack of care is shocking. This was not just a poor sale — it was dangerous. I’ve reported this to Trading Standards, and a case is being filed with the Financial Ombudsman. I’ll also be informing Santander, as this was a serious mis-sell.

This dealership put my safety, money, and livelihood at risk. Avoid them completely. This is not just bad business — it’s deceitful and disgraceful.

They have all the phone call recorded and every single thing can be proved in court.

Dear Mr Javved,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear you are dissatisfied but we must take this opportunity to correct several inaccuracies and provide a true account.

All vehicles sold through our dealership undergo a full pre-delivery inspection and MOT to ensure roadworthiness. At the time of sale, no major mechanical faults were reported or identified. You were given the opportunity to inspect and test-drive the vehicle, and no actionable concerns were raised with us immediately after purchase.

When an issue with the alternator later arose it was addressed under your Autogroup warranty. The majority of the repair cost was covered by the warranty provider, with your personal contribution being approximately £100 not £600 as stated. The higher figure appears to reflect the pricing of your chosen local repairer. The repair could have been fully covered under warranty either through us or via a more reasonably priced authorised repairer.

Since purchasing the vehicle, you have covered over 4,000 miles, which strongly suggests that any subsequent issue, such as a potential head gasket fault, was not inherent at the point of sale. Additionally, as we have not physically inspected the vehicle since it left our premises, we are unable to verify or comment on any mechanical issues you have since reported.

Regarding the vehicle’s history, we rely on third-party data and official documentation when advertising. At no stage was any information deliberately withheld, and we were not aware of any confirmed prior use as a private hire vehicle at the time of listing. In fact, you raised this question with us directly and conducted your own checks prior to committing to purchase. You were therefore fully aware, before placing a deposit, that the vehicle may have previously been used for private hire, and we made clear that we could not confirm this either way.

Furthermore, such vehicles typically undergo more rigorous and regular maintenance schedules, which should be seen as a positive.

You also did not disclose to us when purchasing that you intended to, and have since, used the vehicle as a taxi, which would have influenced both the terms of sale and the guidance we provided. We also have an obligation to inform your finance provider of this non-disclosure, as it may be relevant to your finance agreement.

The difference in mileage between the advertised figure and the recorded mileage at collection is easily explained by delivery to our site, standard test-driving, and final vehicle preparation, all common and accepted practices to ensure vehicles meet proper standards. The discrepancy of approximately 100 miles was due to our internal system not being updated at the time of your enquiry. We categorically refute any suggestion of odometer tampering, which we consider both unfounded and potentially defamatory.

We also strongly reject any suggestion of deliberate dishonesty or misconduct by Damon or any member of our team. Damon is a respected and experienced professional who has acted with integrity throughout. While we understand the situation has been frustrating, we kindly remind you that our staff deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. We will not tolerate rude or inflammatory behaviour in future correspondence. Furthermore, we do not respond positively to threats of negative reviews and will defend ourselves accordingly.

While we understand your intention to escalate the matter, we remain confident in our processes, communication, and documentation. We will fully cooperate with any investigation by your finance provider, Trading Standards, or other relevant authorities. However, we would like to remind you that your subsequent use of the vehicle as a taxi for private hire means this contract no longer falls under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 as it is being used commercially for profit-making activities.

Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please contact us by email.

Regards WMG

Avoid

Would give less then one star if I could. Bought a car, had so much trouble from the beginning with it, which I didn’t mind as much as they told me it would be a project car so was expected. I have now bought a car much newer for the same price with a lot less problems. They wrote my address and post code wrong, I called back and asked if they could give me the £24 to change my address to which they said no and I never even got an apology for, she was also rude on the phone. I also let this go, until today when I was told I owe a large amount of money from a certain place for something, which would have been A LOT less if this company got my address and post code right in the first place as I would have received the letters. I’m sure they will respond with a clever essay, but to not even get a sorry is disgusting.

Dear Charlotte,

Thank you for your feedback. We take all concerns seriously and would like to address the points you have raised to ensure clarity for anyone reading this.

Regarding the address and postcode issue, the order form and final invoice displayed the address details provided during the initial phone call when the order was placed. Unfortunately, a letter in the postcode was misheard by our salesperson, resulting in an incorrect street address being automatically generated. We sincerely apologise for this initial error, as we did when you eventually brought this to our attention.

However, the documents were subsequently provided to you for review and were signed as being correct. It is the customer’s responsibility to verify that all personal details are accurate before signing. At no point during this process was the discrepancy flagged by you. While we regret any inconvenience caused, we cannot accept sole responsibility for the error, as we had no way of knowing the postcode was incorrect. With respect, we rely on customers to verify their personal information, as only they know their correct address. Had this been properly checked by yourself prior to signing, this issue could have been avoided entirely.

Additionally, this feedback relates to a car sold in 2023, and our last contact with you was in January 2024 - over 12 months ago. We are disappointed to hear of these concerns after such a significant amount of time and would have appreciated the opportunity to address them earlier and directly.

Regarding the phone conversation, we have reviewed the recording, which is retained for quality and training purposes. It is evident that our operative conducted the call calmly and professionally, despite the challenging tone you used throughout. During the discussions, we made every effort to reach an amicable resolution, including offering to write to the DVLA on your behalf at no cost. Unfortunately, before this could be finalised, the call was abruptly terminated by you, and subsequent attempts by our operative to contact you went unanswered.

While we understand that frustrations can arise, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards abusive behaviour. Mutual respect is fundamental in all interactions, and we were disappointed by the unacceptable tone and language used during the conversation. Such conduct is a serious concern for us and will not be overlooked.

We must also address that elements of your review are untruthful and inaccurate. We have acted transparently and in good faith throughout, and your account of events does not reflect the facts. We have also noted that you have left 1-star reviews for us across multiple platforms, which appears to be an effort to tarnish our excellent reputation. While we respect your right to provide feedback, this behaviour is unwarranted and will not go unanswered. We take pride in the high standards of service we deliver, as reflected in the overwhelming majority of positive reviews from our customers.

We feel your 1-star review does not accurately reflect the efforts we have made to address this situation or the quality of service we consistently provide. It is also worth noting that this issue could have been avoided entirely had the details been checked and confirmed before signing. Despite this, we remain committed to resolving any outstanding concerns. If you would like our continued assistance, we encourage you to contact us directly using the details provided on your invoice or via our website.

Constructive feedback is important to us and helps us improve our processes and communication.

Kind regards,
Adam Walters and the team at WMG
