Rang about a £17k 4 yr old Quasqui and was told it had been a Motability vehicle. Travelled 70 miles to test drive, and was told it had just been valeted and I had to sit on a cardboard sheet. The salesman drove out of the forecourt, then I took over. Proceeded to get out of the passenger side with a wet bottom!
We currently have a Quasqui, same model, and this was an upgrade. However I was trading in an immaculate car which had been well looked after with no marks.
The inside of the vehicle was disgusting, I'm sure the previous occupant's DNA was still on it. I assume that's why it was re valeted before we arrived - there were marks on all the leather trim and food in the buttons.
Back on the forecourt we inspected the vehicle and found the rubber split on the brake pedal (this should have been an MOT failure), a loose wire hanging from the passenger door, and I queried the mis matched colour of the boot not matching the body of the car. Both were white, but different shades. I was told the car had had rear end damage. The salesman then bluntly told me, he didn't think this was the car for me! He told my husband there would be someone who would buy that car, not bothered about the issues I raised. He also said he was under the impression we had gone to definitely buy the car.
Well Alex, we had gone to definitely buy a car, and as soon as we left your forecourt we visited Lookers Nissan where we bought a lovely, immaculately presented Quasqui Tekna, same year, same price, which we collect tomorrow. So yes, we were definitely looking to buy, just not your car or your attitude.

Harvey on the desk was super helpful and explained everything clearly .

Dave was a breathe of fresh air. Friendly and straight to the point. No messing around which I personally like. He went above and beyond to get the car ready for me at short notice.

Always check and inspect the work after getting anything done at this garage Lots of packaging material left in the boot and on the newly supplied shelf.
My repair / damaged parts needed / replacements was such a task. Eventually after many phone calls and a final visit was i only able to get my car sorted (only after having the car for 5 weeks) i am dreading another visit if the car needs further works done. The only thing stopping me marking this company down to a 1 star was the extremely helpful, friendly and professional young guy on parts and service desk.

All work was completed on time and I was kept informed on all ongoing procedures.

Very poor service.
Booked car to do some work on Saturday, the guy on the desk didn't care at all. They were supposed to check few things, that are included in the price. When came to collect the car, it turned out that they didn't check anything because they couldn't access it (they said there was an object in a way, that can be moved easily, they just didn't bother). They didn't call to clarify about moving it or to notify that it is an issue (they said they would). When we asked why they didn't call, the guy changed his answer and said they didn't have enough time to check the things that they were suppose to and still charged us for the work they didn't do. Why even book us on the day when you dont have enough time to do all the work you meant to?
Will not recommend and will not be coming back.

Dealt with the garage twice for the purchasing and trading in of cars and used the service part for the first time, all members of staff are lovely and really helpful

I have to say Harvey and Adam were outstanding. Excellent communication and customer relations. Very helpful. Couldn't fault them. Problem solved. And a successful outcome. Thankful for warranty.

Very friendly, professional staff. Nice clean showroom. All work carried out to a high standard.
One disadvantage is the removal of car collection and return which can cause problems for customers who work or find it difficult to travel to the garage.

Reply from Evans Halshaw - Vauxhall Gateshead
All the staff were friendly and helpful especially Dave the salesman who looked after me, giving me great advice and customer service finding me the perfect car and at a great deal.
Definitely recommend this garage 5 star service.
