Terrible customer service.

I bought a 2019 2 weeks ago for £15000 made up of a trade in and cash.
The second day of having my new car it developed a clutch problem.
I was given a courtesy car ,which also had a dodgy clutch with 70,000 miles on the clock.
Over a 2 week period ,I received terrible customer service with poor communication between departments of the company.
After 2 weeks ,with very little contact to keep me updated,I was told that Jaguar UK had provided 3 replacement parts and fitted.
That a part would have to be ordered abd it could race week,possibly months.
They seemed indifferent to my displeasure at only having the use of my new vehicle for one day before it broke down.
I then pulled out of the deal and asked for my money and traded car back.
They refused,saying that had to be authorised and on the same day sent staff to my workplace to recover their courtesy car,which I thought was incredibly petty.
I waited a further 3 days until getting my monies returned.
Having initially told me that I would get my traded in volvo back ,they now told me it had been sold and they gave me the trade in value for my original car.
This left me without a car until I could source a replacement.
Not one genuine apology for failure in their valeting dept ;their mechanical dept or their customer service department.

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced. We would like to clarify a few points regarding your review:

• The issue with your vehicle was not due to a "dodgy clutch" but rather a sudden failure of a specific part.
• You were provided with a courtesy car immediately to ensure you were not left without transportation.
• The part required for the repair was on back order, which was unfortunately beyond our control.
• We offered to swap you into another car, but you declined this option.
• We disagree with your statement that we were indifferent and lacked communication. You had extensive conversations with our service, sales, and customer service teams.
• We collected the courtesy car because you reported it was dangerous to drive due to the clutch slipping, yet you were comfortable driving it to work. The courtesy car has been fully checked by the workshop and no issue with the clutch was found.
• We did not agree to return your Volvo, and this claim is incorrect.
• You agreed to the repair, which typically does not entitle you to a refund. However, we provided a refund to ensure your satisfaction.
• Your refund was agreed upon on Saturday and processed on Monday.

We strive to provide excellent customer service and hope to resolve any concerns you may have. Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any further questions or issues.

1st time buyer.

1st time buying from Bridgend, and I have to say that they provide a great service. Mykell was 1st class, making the process easy & stress free.

Poor sales and purchase

I had a terrible experience from start to finish when purchasing a car from Bridgend. The car had no petrol when we arrived for arranged test drive, a warning light came on whilst on the drive and was reassured this would be resolved. The sale staff were very poor at communicating and keeping me up to date with details. The work discussed at point of test drive was not completed and had to be requested again after mot. On several occasions the sales staff assured calls and when I called I was told they were on Days off meaning I dealt with several different staff members. Three weeks later the car was ready for collection- 4 miles from the garage it broke down! Again I was assured it would be rectified- I was provided a very old courtesy car! A week later I was still discussing not having my car and they had to order parts! I advised I did not wish the car and a refund should be started. This was yet another fiasco- I waited days for transfer of funds. Left with no car, no compensation and little in ways of an apology- I certainly would not deal with them. or recommend Bridgend to anyone

We are very sorry that your experience was unsatisfactory and deeply disappointed, as we always strive to ensure customer satisfaction. We apologize for the unforeseen issue you encountered with your vehicle.

We put a lot of emphasis on preparing our cars to a high standard and have numerous quality control measures in place to ensure the safety and quality of our vehicles. Unfortunately, the fault you experienced was unforeseen and unavoidable. However, we did everything we could when we were made aware of the fault. We sourced a car at short notice to keep you mobile, and when you decided that you would prefer a refund, we offered to collect the courtesy car from you instead of asking you to return it to us. This was done as a gesture of goodwill as we truly wanted to offer good customer service.

You were refunded in full within 48 hours. While we recognize that the car you bought developed an unforeseen issue, we are happy that we handled this matter in a timely, courteous, and professional manner.

Thank you for your understanding.

Nice and easy process

Nice and easy process. Mykell was very helpful when it came to organising seeing different vehicles and answering my questions. I am very happy with my purchase and would definitely go there again.

Just picked up my new Ford Fiesta and couldn’t be happier! The whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Huge shoutout to Jordan - super helpful, patient, and made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. If you’re thinking about getting a new car, definitely ask for Jordan. Highly recommend!

First time buying a car from Bridgend…

First time buying a car from Bridgend and I can honestly say the customer service I received was absolutely top notch. I had to wait just under 2 weeks to pick up my new car and David the sales man that was dealing with me kept me updated on everything. Would definitely go there again for my next car

Our second purchase from Bridgend

Our second purchase from Bridgend, both times dealing with Mykell, and both times receiving an attentive, non-pushy service. I'm really happy with my purchase and with Bridgend.
