A good car buying experience

From the outset of enquiring about a used car, the sales staff were very helpful and accommodating. The car was as described and the process of completing the sale was pain free.

From start to finish, Thomas provided amazing service. I ask a lot of questions, and he was consistently patient, friendly, and informative — nothing was too much trouble. He even brought the car to us for a test drive, which was incredibly helpful. A very pleasant and professional experience. Thank you for your time and support, Thomas!

I was very disappointed with Evans “Overcharged, Rude, and Misleading Service” “Threatened with £570 Charge for No Reason” “Poor Customer Care and Inflated Repair Costs” “Unprofessional Service"

I was very disappointed with Evans Halshaw Renault Edinburgh. As part of my pre-paid 2-year MOT package, I was given a “free” health check. I was then told that repairs would cost around £1,980, and asked to authorise £570 for further investigation, with the suggestion that some costs might be covered by my warranty. Later, they admitted those items were not actually a problem.

I had also complained about the rear driver-side tyre, which has shown a yellow low-pressure warning for the past 17 months. Despite me explaining this ongoing issue, I was told the tyre was “fine.” When I challenged this, the advisor said “we trust our technicians,” and when I asked if that meant he was calling me a liar, he indirectly and rudely said yes. To make matters worse, Evans Halshaw wanted to charge £174 just to check the tyre, while a brand-new replacement tyre elsewhere costs only £82.

When I questioned these practices, I was spoken to rudely and even had the phone cut off. I was also told my car would not be released unless I paid £570. After few days of complaints, the car was finally released without charge, but the inaccurate Vehicle Health Check report was never corrected and no proper apology was offered.

Finally, I took my car to a trusted local service shop and had most of the VHC items fixed for only £520, which proves how inflated and unreasonable Evans Halshaw’s pricing was.
