Wilson & Co Bolton were great because nothing is ever too much trouble. I was contacted by Raymon to refinance my vehicle. I was continuously communicated with throughout the process, everything was double checked with me and I was informed of my choices before making my decision. Raymon was kind, polite and helpful during my visit and his colleagues were considerate also. Thank you for a lovely experience.

My experience at Wilson & Co Scunthorpe…

My experience at Wilson & Co Scunthorpe was cracking becauseI was warmly welcomed, offered a drink, salesperson used my first name, listened to what I was looking for and what I didnt want. Offered me test drive a couple of vehicles. Explained the process clearly. Arranged delivery of my new car for a mutually convenient time. Was very polite and friendly. Very professional and knowledgeable about the stock held resulting in him being able to offer me a few options to chose from. Well done Raggi and thank you."

Visited Grimsby Vauxhall and had an outstanding experience, largely thanks to Jason. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed to make an informed decision. His attention to detail and customer care were truly exceptional.

No useful responses once sale completed

Unfortunately "Jason, Head Of Business here at Wilson and Co in Scunthorpe" didn't return any of my calls/messages or "work tirelessly" about the 20K+ Merc I bought from the company.
I'm having to work my way through the issues with my new car locally with poor EV battery life and defunctive petrol filler cap being significant problems as no help from the seller. No proper response from Wilson so never, ever again. If you don't answer your phone or respond to your customers' emails then you're NOT serving your customers.

I’m sorry to read your review. I want to clarify that I haven’t received any calls or emails from you directly, which is why I haven’t been able to respond before now.

Good Company - highly recommend

Even though I haven’t purchased a car from this company (albeit due to my own reasons due to my negative equity) I would highly recommend these to buy a car from. The service Stuart gave me was exceptional, helped me through all the quotes and queries I had. Unfortunately, I will be unable to change my car for another 6-12 months but when that time comes I am 100% going to come back and use this company.

Regrettably 1 star

Regrettably 1 star. I called 3 times over 3 days for a quote for a gearbox service, no one bothered to reply. Called Evans Halshaw in Wigan, had a quote in 20 minutes or so... booked in with them !

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’m very sorry to hear about your experience trying to obtain a service quote from us. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide, and I completely understand your frustration.

I’d like to investigate what went wrong so we can put it right and ensure it doesn’t happen again. If you’d be happy to share more details with me directly, please contact me at the dealership.

I appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve.

I got Raymon at the Bolton branch as my sales person and he honestly was more then helpful. He provided videos etc as I arnt local to that branch. Helped me through paperwork kept me updated on what was happening and delivery date and time. He made the experience really easy and pleasant to go through I cant recommend him enough. Id also like to say the delivery driver was also lovely talked me through a few things gave me paperwork talked through that etc. Arrived at the beginning of the delivery time I was given. I cant fault the service at all. There's a few age related marks which I wish wasnt there but for a near 5 year old car its to be expected unfortunately. but arrived clean and tidy and smelt lovely inside. Highly recommend to people especially Raymon at the Bolton store.
Thank you.

Thank you for such a detailed and thoughtful review. I’m delighted to hear that Raymon made the whole process smooth and enjoyable for you, especially with you being based away from the branch. From providing videos to keeping you updated every step of the way, it’s clear he went above and beyond to ensure you felt confident and informed.

I’m also pleased to hear the delivery driver made a great impression, arriving on time and taking the time to explain everything clearly. While we understand there may be a few minor age-related marks on a vehicle of this age, I’m glad to know it arrived clean, tidy, and ready to enjoy.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about Raymon and the team. I’ll make sure they both see your feedback — I know they’ll be thrilled.

I have a battery/charging issue with my Ssangyong Korando E Motion. My initial problem was 2 months ago and they were unable to book it in for 6 weeks. Which is not really acceptable, what is most disappointing is despite having the car for nearly 2 weeks they have yet to run any diagnostic tests. This is an awful level of service and makes me question their ability to operate as a dealer for KGM/Ssangyong. From my experience find an alternative dealer/service center.
