Shocking customer relations ....

Shocking customer relations booked hired works van in for repairs, when we arrived said they didn't have record of it, showed them emails and they blamed it on 1 person being off even though all of them were on email trail. Sent away and told we would need to return it again for another appointment, told they don't collect vehicles to change out, (even though mistake was their fault) but apparently they do elsewhere.

Hi Narinder,

I am really sorry to hear that you have had such difficulties getting booked into Belfast for repairs. I know its currently a busy time for our Workshops however this should not deter from the usual 5* service in which we aim to deliver. Please could you contact me on customer.services@northgate.co.uk so I can review this matter further for you?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind Regards,

Bethannie Kell

Thanks Adele.

I had to leave back the van I had on hire for its MOT and when I had left the van back I forgot to lift my phone from it. Close to three weeks passed before I noticed what I had done. When I contacted the branch to report what I had done the girl on the front desk Adele is her name. She was very helpful and actually helped me with locating the phone. She was more than helpful and for that I'm very grateful. Thank you to you and your staff!

Thank you for leaving us feedback, Mo.

I'm glad to hear that Adele from the branch was able to assist you in locating your phone and was very helpful throughout the process. Losing a phone can be quite distressing, but it's reassuring to know that the staff at the branch were supportive and efficient in helping you recover it. Adele's efforts are truly commendable, and I'll make sure to pass on your appreciation to the staff as well. If you have any further needs or questions, feel free to contact them again. Thank you for your kind words, and I hope everything goes smoothly from here on out!
