Avoid Evans Halshaw Preston if you value good customer service.
I've had repeated issues with poor workmanship and even worse communication. After an air conditioning repair, my van was returned dirty and with the front indicator left unplugged. Months later, the air conditioning failed again, a fault I'd previously reported was still unresolved, and despite promises from the service team that a manager would call me back, nobody ever did.
After weeks of chasing, I was simply told to join the back of the queue for another appointment. No ownership, no accountability, and no attempt to resolve the problems.
Very disappointing experience from a main dealer. I won't be returning.

Don't get your vehicle MOT done here
Don't get your vehicle MOT done here! Or you will be done over. These guys do not care about the customer satisfaction. They only care about how much money they can get out of you. I'm not going to bother writing how they have behaved because you only need to read the rest of the reviews about this company. You can understand why they are closing so many dealerships down. The Customer service is shocking at the PRESTON branch, and please don't write how sorry you are about my experience like the other reviews 🙈

Worst Company
Took our car in for a health check, after nearly an hour i got a phone call from Evans Halshaw to say sorry we have had a problem with you car, i asked what, oh we have dropped your car of the ramp. We went back to Evans Halshaw spoke to the mechanic told me it was his fault did not check it, i said to the service manager (Andrew) your incompetent, his reply to me, What`s your problem we are repairing it for free. Disgrace.
Rude Staff. (service Manager)
Incompetent Staff.
Lack of Professionalism.
No customer care at all.
No After care.
Nothing more to say.
