Amazing customer service

My car went in for an MOT and service. 5star experience from the start. Great communication throughout, very happy with the service I received. Special thank you to Matt and Hugh who made the whole process so easy especially when I was also dealing with my newborn baby and trying to juggle everything.

Terrible experience with this garage

Terrible experience with this garage. My son received a recall letter from VW about an air bag. Took the car in as booked yesterday, waited for 2 hours then someone came out & said they haven’t had time to look at it. When he drove the car in there was no problem with the power steering driving absolutely fine, no warning light, just passed its MOT 2 weeks ago & had a full service. When he picked the car up today it was completely broken he could barely drive it home, the power steering wasn’t working, vw said they logged a problem with the power steering but there was nothing wrong with it until it was left at this garage. Stay away from this garage there is something not quite right here !!!

I arrived at 07.40 for a while you wait…

I arrived at 07.40 for a while you wait service and Mot , they don’t open there doors till 8.00 am prompt only to be told it wasn’t a while you wait service , eventually the workshop supervisor, who was dressed for a camp site said he would organise , I go back at 10.40 and are told at 11.00 my bill is being produced , then at 11.20 I’m presented with a bill with two tyres charged for but not fitted ie over £900.00 when questioned oh there’s a mistake and I’m eventually charged under £300.00 , I do think if they want repeat business they need to up there service ,

Excellent customer service provided by Mark

Excellent customer service provided by Mark from the Customer Services Team from the Citygate Ruislip Team. Mark was helpful, knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile to ensure the customer is happy. He takes full ownership of issues and sees them through until completion.
