My husband and I recently visited…

My husband and I recently visited Advance Vauxhall in High Wycombe looking at purchasing a new car. Jake Woolven was kind, caring, informative and was always happy to answer any questions we had. We had been to other car dealerships and certainly did not receive the same warmness and care that Jake gave us. I would highly recommend visiting if you are looking for somewhere that you'll be listened to and treated with respect, good communication and kindness. We are so appreciative of Jake and can't compliment him enough. Thank you Jake!

Have used the advance Vauxhall in No faith in advance Vauxhall any more.

Have used the advance Vauxhall in slough was always happy with them . I don’t know what is going on with them but they have gone down hill have been let down twice in the last 6 weeks,not getting in touch and not ordering the parts latest one is a carbon copy of the previous fiasco also have never been offered a courtesy car which I need very very poor customer service.
But they still charge you a fortune for the repairs with no such thing as a sorry or compensation.

Super experience of purchasing my vehicle

Full and clear explanation given by Martin Diep. He explained things in a way that non-techy people like myself can understand. Constant commination through the whole process from ordering to delivery and most importantly supported on the price with a clear understanding on when we should be placing the order. I would fully recommend Martin to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. 5***** service

Car lease - Leapmotor C10

I recently leased a Leapmotor C10 through Advance Vauxhall Watford, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I placed my order at the end of July, and Martin Diep handled the process with great professionalism.

Martin was highly efficient and kept me well-informed throughout the entire journey. Communication was clear and timely, and he consistently went the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly. The vehicle arrived on schedule, and the whole experience was seamless with no issues at all.

Fantastic customer service — highly recommended!

Looking for an alternative option for a new car

I was looking for an alternative from my previously leased cars and found Vauxhall Romford, dealing with Ricky. He was very knowledgeable and I stated what I was looking for. After a while I was fully informed and left with information that enabled me to make a no rush decision. Ricky was very helpful along my journey and I hope we do business again.

Travelled 1 1/2 hours to see VW Sharan

Travelled 1 1/2 hours to see VW Sharan. Told it was in prep, but could test drive it. On arrival told no cannot drive as it is in prep. First said because of advisory on MOT, worn suspension bush, which that said that had sorted!! Should not be a problem! Then said CV joint boot had deteriorated. Looked under and CV boot is new! Also no satnav SD card, said they could probably get one. Said Android auto, but unit not unlocked for that. Difficult to trust anything dealer says. Complete waste of time.Wish I had read reviews before travelling

Professional Service

The guys at Advance Motors Watford, were friendly, patient and informative which was very helpful for me as someone who doesn’t know a great deal about cars.
My experience with them was an easy and smooth process, and I would recommend anyone who’s looking to purchase a car.

Car fine, customer service bad.

Whilst overall I’m happy with my car, despite the 2 faults that have occurred, my issue with Advance Vauxhall has been mostly around how they’ve dealt with customer service.
Due to a delay in being able to collect the vehicle as they hadn’t arranged to have a dent repaired when they said they would, plus the EML coming on within 24 hours of me collecting the car - I was offered a complimentary service by the sales person and his manager. Whilst I didn’t have this in writing, I was assured to get in touch and explain when my service was due.

I actually asked about the service when I had to return the car for a new fault, and because I don’t have it in writing - have been told there is nothing they can do. Even the sales person evidently has ‘no recollection’ of offering this and his manager has since left the business.

If I’d never been offered this complimentary service, I wouldn’t actually be leaving a 2 star review. But instead I have been repeatedly ignored, unless I chase multiple times and told that I’ve basically made it up.

So if you choose to purchase a car from Advance Vauxhall I would suggest the following: get everything in writing and, if possible, buy your new car elsewhere.

Dear David
Firstly, we’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and want to thank you for taking the time to share this feedback — even when it’s difficult to hear, it gives us an opportunity to improve.

We’ve looked into the matter thoroughly, and Marcin, our Group Sales Manager, has personally reviewed your case. Unfortunately, as we’ve been unable to verify the offer of a complimentary service — and with no written confirmation or the manager involved now having left the business — we’re not in a position to provide this service at no charge. We understand how frustrating and disappointing this must be, especially after being reassured at the time.

We also want to apologise for the communication issues you've experienced, particularly around the delay in collection, the fault shortly after purchase, and the way your follow-ups were handled. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide, and we’re sincerely sorry that we’ve let you down in this instance.

Your feedback has been shared with our wider team to ensure situations like this are better handled in the future. We truly regret that your experience did not reflect the high standards we set for ourselves, and we’d still welcome the opportunity to restore some of your trust in us moving forward.

Kind regards,
The Customer Care Team

A special thank you and massive shout out to Shaq!

I honestly can’t thank Shaq enough! He’s an absolute massive asset to Vauxhall and from start to finish he made the whole process of finding my first car so easy and so much fun. I was a bit nervous going in, but he made me feel completely comfortable and went above and beyond to help me find the perfect car. He’s super knowledgeable, genuinely cares about his customers, and his energy is infectious. You can tell he loves what he does. Thank you, Shaq, for making such a big milestone such a great experience!

Habbeb Dar, the Senior Sales who sold me my new car was absolutely brilliant! He has not hesitated for a second after I told him I was very nervous to drive around High Wycombe and offered to drive the car himself! So polite, so helpful! Took care of all paperwork as well, nothing was a problem, no question was silly. Thank you Habeeb!
