Disaster from start to finish

Disaster from start to finish. Only it was the car that my daughter wanted we would’ve went elsewhere. Only time I’ve ever bought a car and came away angry. Customer service is shocking and car prep not much better. Last car I will be buying from Charles hurst Belfast.

Excellent

Could not have wished for more! The team were amazing.. listened carefully to what we wanted and due to their impressive product knowledge and emphasis on customer satisfaction, they were able to offer vehicles which met our requirements exactly! There was no rush, no pressure, total emphasis on ensuring we were offered what was requested!! We visited several garages and none come anywhere near the customer experience offered at Lookers Northallerton!

A protracted sales experience but all good in the end

The salesman Ish was a very courteous and patient young man who explained everything clearly and thoroughly. The whole process from start to finish took a lot longer than expected due to waiting for a new key to be programmed for a few days and working around salesman’s days off and waiting for the accounts department to confirm payment. The accounts office are not open at weekends so this slowed the process down. Overall I’m very pleased with my car so far and thankful that Ish fulfilled everything that was promised.Duncan the manager was also polite and supportive.

Not interested in issues

At booking and on check in asked for video of bodywork inspection, was not received. Also charged £140 to look at corrosion on car. All very dismissive even though nissan have 12 year warranty. Photos sent to nissan of poor quality that they didnt accurately show corrosion.

Incompetent expensive service on two cars

We have two MB cars and they both went in for service at Lookers MB Ashford a few weeks ago. About 100 miles after the service, my wife's car showed an error message that the washer fluid level was low, despite the windscreen washers having been used only once since the service. So I had to top up the reservoir myself - it took nearly 2 litres to do so. Clearly the washer fluid had not been topped up at the (very expensive) service.
Then my own car, again about 100 miles after the service showed an error message to reduce the volume of oil in the engine. Clearly it had been overfilled at the (very expensive) service - and this is not the first time I have had this fault after a service.
I expect a lot better than this incompetence for the premium prices they charge.

I was very happy with the Sales Executive

I was very happy with the Sales Executive who dealt with me from start to finish. Would’ve been five stars but I had to return to get a couple of items missing from my car which hadn’t been replaced by team prepping the car.

I was sold a dud car

I would've given zero star if it was possible- I was sold a car with a pre-existing AC leak at Lookers CarHub, Star City, Birmingham.

This dealership delivers very poor customer service and high staff turnover.

During the test drive, I pointed out that the car's AC needed checking and fixing, amongst other issues. I was promised that the car would be fully prepped, including fixing the AC and others.

To our greatest surprise, we arrived to collect our car on the day and found nothing was done, and this was supposed to be a birthday gift for me, we'd to collect the car without a working AC with the promised that they 'd book us back in for the AC to be done.

When the AC was eventaully done, after many calls, emails, and visits, they only refilled the gas without first checking if there was a leakage as required under the law- Motor Vehicle Regulations 2009.

Seven months down the line, the AC needed gas again. I contacted them without no reply then I took it upon myself to re-gas the AC in another garage.

Last month, the AC began to show signs of needing re-gasing again; this would now be the 3rd time in 18 months, which is a strong indication the AC leakage I pointed out during my test drive was not sorted before selling me the car.

I've contacted them for over 3 weeks now, and there's no solution or support provided as yet.

Save yourself an unnecessary headache and buy your car somewhere else. They're only interested in your money.
