Things do go wrong but Wilson and Co
Things do go wrong but Wilson and Co. did not do the following:
A. Make every effort to absorb the communications, stress, and time needed to get the faulty vehicle back on the road.
As the customer I had to absorb most of this stress.
B. Offer a good will gesture to apologise for the massive stress and inconvenience, for a brand new car needing 2 repairs in its first month.
Your sales staff said I should direct my concerns to the dealer principal and he did not show courtesy to even respond.
Staff at Wilson & Co. were generally always warm and friendly on the phone but often did not call back when they agreed to. I was given commitments which were not kept to, leading to me waiting at home for courtesy vehicle which didn't arrive. I'm grateful I was loaned a courtesy car for part of the time my new car was out of action, but was also left with out of pocket expenses that were only partially reimbursed eventually.
My overall impression is all time and energy at Wilson and Co goes into sales of vehicles. Not supporting customers when their new cars break down.
Please do not offer to contact me as you are fully aware of my concerns and you have refused to respond to them.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in such detail. I’m genuinely sorry for the frustration, inconvenience, and stress you’ve described. A brand-new vehicle needing repairs in its first month is disappointing in itself, and the additional issues around communication, callback delays, and missed commitments clearly made the situation far more difficult than it should have been.
While I appreciate you do not wish to be contacted further, I want to acknowledge your concerns openly. The shortfalls you’ve highlighted around customer support, expectations being set but not followed through, and the way your case was handled are not reflective of the standards we aim to deliver — especially when a customer is already dealing with the disruption of an unexpected vehicle fault.
Your comments regarding goodwill, communication, courtesy car arrangements, and your overall impression of how aftersales support was handled will be taken seriously and reviewed internally with the relevant teams. Feedback like yours is essential in helping us improve how we support customers when things go wrong, not just when things go well.
Thank you again for sharing your experience. I’m sorry that we did not meet the level of service you rightly expected.
Kind regards,
Jason Carter

I had to laugh, or else I would cry.
My Mokka car was taken in for a service and MOT in August.
I highlighted a problem with a small flap that springs open and closed covering the hole in the fascia where the boot closure catch fits.
The flap had fallen into the gap between the metal bodywork and boot lining fascia.
On collecting the car I was told that it required a part which would be ordered and I would be contacted when it arrived.
Almost three months later I contacted the service department to enquire about the progress.
Mysteriously the order for the part had gone off the radar.
After gee-ing them up with follow up emails and photographs of the problem, I was eventually contacted and told the part had eventually arrived and I booked the car in for the work to be done.
So I took the car in today for an approximate six hour job allocation, at great inconvenience to my planned day.
I received a call about six hours later as promised telling me the car was ready.
I went to collect the car and inspected the work.
NOTHING REGARDING THE EXPECTED WORK HAD BEEN DONE!!
Yes, they had completed the work I was told, the new boot lock was ordered and fitted.
Sadly their incompetence shows up in the inability to identify an issue explained to them in detail initially and followed up with pictures of the offending part.
To say I am disappointed, disgruntled and annoyed in their failure is far from the true feelings I have.
I’m not sure I can trust them to do anything correctly.
I wait now with baited breath to see if they can sort this issue properly in the near future.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience and frustration you’ve experienced — it’s clear we fell short on communication and on addressing the exact issue you reported.
I’ve asked our Service Manager, Enzo Ponti, to take personal ownership of your case. Please contact Enzo directly at enzo.ponti@wilsonandco.com
so we can review the part order history, inspect the flap concern you highlighted, and agree the quickest resolution.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention — we appreciate the opportunity to put things right.

Worst experience of my life
Booked my Astra in the workshop for a diagnostic.
The issue with my vehicle was engine management light illuminated after travelling a short distance. I was informed they would diagnose the issue and inform me of any work required. I authorised the extra work required and paid for it. Total bill £380.52. After travelling a short distance the same fault occurred. After contact with them l booked the vehicle in again.
I was informed of different issue with vehicle which was new coil pack and plug’s recommended. I told them I had just fitted new coil pack and plug’s within the last 2 months. They would not guarantee the further work nor refund me for the initial work that had not solved the problem. Wilson and Co would not guarantee the further work even after fitting a genuine Vauxhall coil pack and plugs. Let readers be the judge. After reading the reply from Wilson&Co I feel compelled to add to my review. Why will a company not guarantee work done by them using genuine parts from their own stores. ? A Main Dealer with supposedly the best diagnostic equipment, Vauxhall trained technicians, just guessing what a solution might be is just not good enough. I collected my car after the second visit to Wilson and Co. The EML still illuminated. I cancelled the fault code on my return home. I have NOT fitted new coil pack and plugs. My vehicle has completed many miles of travel and the issue has not returned. So Who Knows! Definitely not Wilson and Co.

We appreciate your feedback and are more than happy to arrange a discussion to assist.
The initial diagnostic that was carried out indicated the fault for which the work was agreed and carried out - this was the fuel tank vent valve. This was required. However your further fault was related to the coil pack and plugs. You advised that you had previously had non-genuine parts fitted. As discussed at the time, we would advise you return to the supplier of these to replace as they could be faulty. We did not supply these. We did also advise that we have seen this situation before and do recommend that a genuine coil pack and plugs are fitted. We are unsure what has been said to make you feel that our work is not under guarantee.
Our work - parts and labour - does have a 12 month guarantee.
As mentioned above, if you would prefer to have a conversation regarding this - more than happy to do so - please call 01204 389999 and ask for David or Rebecca
Excellent customer service
The experience at Wilson & Co Grimsby was fantastic because the lady I dealt with, Tracy Clement was extremely helpful and very friendly.
