I am extremely disappointed with the customer service I received.

My Range Rover went in on 30th June at 9:30am for what was supposed to be a one hour diagnostic. At 2:46pm, having heard nothing, I rang for an update and was told my service advisor, Ross, would call me back. No call came.

I called again at 5:27pm and Ross told me the technician hadn't yet given him any feedback.

The following day, I called at 12:53pm and asked to speak to Ross. I was told he was busy and would call me back. Again, no call.

On Thursday at 1:50pm, I rang once more and was again told Ross was busy and would call me back. I explained that I had been waiting days for a callback and still hadn't received one. Eventually, at 2:25pm, another colleague phoned me and explained what was wrong with the car. I told him that was fine and asked him to send me the bill so I could get it sorted. He said Ross would email it to me. Once again, no email arrived.

On Friday at 9:40am, I called to explain that Ross still hadn't sent anything and asked to speak to his manager. I was told she would get back to me, but once again, nobody contacted me.

The lack of communication has been shocking. I have repeatedly had to chase for updates, promises of callbacks were never kept, emails were never sent, and even my request to speak to a manager resulted in no response. This experience has been frustrating and has fallen well below the level of service I would expect from a premium dealership.

Based on my experience, Ross clearly needs more training in customer communication and customer care. If you tell a customer you'll call them back or send them information, you should follow through. I was repeatedly promised callbacks and emails that never arrived, leaving me to chase updates myself every step of the way.

I appreciate that workshops can be busy, but keeping customers informed is a basic part of the job. This experience fell far below the standard I would expect from a premium dealership, and I hope improvements are made so other customers don't have the same experience.

Top Service From Lookers Skoda Stockport

Took my Skoda into Lookers Stockport for it's service and mot. Needed some work doing. I was kept informed by Shaf, who sorted everything out and had me and my 17 year old Skoda back on the road. Superb customer service and a good price for the work. Also thank you took the mechanics who worked on my car. I would definately recommend Skoda Lookers Stockport.

After a DISGRACEFUL experience of…

After a DISGRACEFUL experience of customer service from PULMAN VW, DURHAM, after 3 separate visits and 60 miles of wasted journeys, being given incorrect information and a totally unhelpful attitude, LOOKERS VW Teesside took only 20 minutes to assess, diagnose and commit to completing a sensor issue replacement (either via my cars current and valid warranty or as a goodwill gesture should the warranty not cover)
The job was successfully done a couple of weeks later at my service and MOT appointment in a very efficient, honest and highly competent way. ( Under warranty as it happened)
A big thank you to Ashleigh and Jen on the service team for their professional attitude to genuinely wanting to help
How the VW customer service experience from two VW dealerships has been so polar opposite is not a good reflection on the VW brand itself to be honest
This is my own genuine an honest experience which I am more than willing to discuss with VW in much more detail ( of which there is more) to evidence my comments.
Unfortunately both VW and Pulman did not respond to my request to be contacted on surveys that both had sent to me in the first instance
LOOKERS VW TEESSIDE
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fortunately my experience has enabled a few people who I know make their own informed choices and decisions on where they want to have their VW looked after
I’m sure readers of Trustpilot will do the same.

Excellent customer service throughout

Excellent customer service throughout. The air conditioning in my Ford Puma had stopped working, which given the hot weather we are having was less than ideal. The problem was quickly diagnosed in the most cost effective way and the quote for the work required was explained to me. The repair itself was completed within the estimated timeframe and my car was given a complimentary valet which was a nice touch. I’ve used Lookers Ford in Sudbury for several years and can highly recommend them.

Easy to make a convenient Service Appointment

Was easy to make a service appointment at a time to suit me, Service Staff very helpful and professional I was quoted a ‘while you wait’ service time of 1 1/2 hours which was adhered to, complimentary car wash and vac completed the whole experience.

Awful communication and handling of booking

I decided to use Lookers Kia Stockport for my 2nd service as I had a particularly unpleasant experience at my local Kia garage previously. Turned out this garage is no better.

I booked my service and courtesy car over the phone in advance. I called back nearer the time to check all was good to go ahead as I had not received a confirmation email or text. I was assured that my service was still booked in as well as the courtesy car and a belated confirmation email was sent out to me.

I turned up on the day of my service to drop my car off and found out no courtesy car had been booked. I explained I had double checked this with their booking team and the garage staff said no courtesy car was showing up on the system as booked in for me. I was left having to fork out money for a taxi home as I am not local to Stockport. I rely on my car for accessibility so being without a courtesy car was hugely inconvenient.

I was given an email address to submit a complaint which I have contacted twice and received no response from. I missed a call back which I followed up with an email explaining I am unable to take calls during working hours at the moment and could further correspondence take place via email to make it easier for everyone. I was ignored.

I also received the results of a vehicle health check that was done during my service which contained videos of my car that were filmed by staff at the garage with no explanations alongside them. The email prompted me to contact the garage if I had any questions. I contacted them via an enquiry form on their website and was once again ignored.

I would not recommend this garage, or any Kia garage for that matter. My booking was handled carelessly and they have been downright rude with regards to aftercare.

Very good experience with this thoughtful, professional team

We felt properly looked after and listened to throughout our car purchase. The team there are thoughtful, professional, down-to-earth and very responsive. We were travelling a few hours to come and get this car and they stayed in touch regularly, listened to us well, and made the whole transaction progress very smoothly. The car is great, nicely prepared and we've been happy with the whole experience. Thank you!
