Brilliant service from Jake

Jake Mason was brilliant in helping us find the right car for our needs and budget, taking the time to sort multiple test drives over a period of weeks. We couldn’t have asked for a better service.

Poor attention to pre sales checks and disappointing customer service.

I purchased my car in July 2024. The presale advise was great and very attentive however when I took the car on a test drive a couple of issues were picked up. They were unable to fix the issues prior to me picking up the car so it was booked back in. One issue was fixed, however the dealership were unable to resolve the other issue meaning my car had to go back in a month later to Hyundai directly to fix. Both issues should have been picked up on presale checks, the parking sensors weren’t working and the tyre pressure sensors were broken showing a warning light on the dash.

In November I experienced a dead battery so jump started this and took the car to my local Evans Halshaw to fix, at which point several more issues were highlighted which should of been picked up on the presale checks - air con not working, coolant low, oil too high and an almost illegal tyre. I didn’t expect to have to replace a tyre at £98 on a car I bought 5 months ago, apparently this is covered under expected wear and tear according to the dealership. Thankfully they agreed to reimburse me for the £250 battery and have fixed the other issues for free. My local depot advised that there was an issue with the track rods however EH Duran advised they were fine…I will be checking this independently. I sent the report from my local dealership to the sales team member who I had been dealing with and this hadn’t been passed onto the service department so when I called to check up on my car, they didn’t know they had to look at this which was frustrating because it delayed me getting my car back. I had requested the sales manager to call me regarding the issues because I was very disappointed that not all the information had been passed onto to service team to fix, this was Friday lunchtime and I haven’t heard back.

I found that the customer service deteriorated each time I had to contact them, getting little information infrequently lead me to chasing for updates constantly. I have now had my car just over 5 months and it has had to be in for repairs 4 times.

More attention to checks before selling the car is required as well as consistent levels of customer service from presale to post sale.

Positives - very lovely team members in the service department as well as the curtsey car delivery man. A curtsey car was provided each time bar my visit to my local branch as this was a quick stop.

Overall very frustrated with the issues and being out £98.

Hi,

We understand your frustration with the multiple repairs your vehicle required soon after purchase, especially concerning the pre-sale checks and the subsequent delays in resolving the issues.

It's disappointing to hear that some problems, like the parking sensors and tire pressure sensors, weren't identified before delivery, leading to further inconvenience.

We also acknowledge your concern about the inconsistent communication and the time it took to receive updates.

We value your feedback and will use it to improve our pre-sale inspection processes and customer service communication.

We strive to provide a seamless and positive experience for all our customers, and we sincerely apologise that we fell short of your expectations in this instance.
