If I ever have an issue with one of my vehicles, JP is always my first point of contact. He's always helpful, always responsive and will always go above and beyond to help me and the business. Our patients rely on our vehicles and the medical equipment they carry and JP knows this. He and his team always strive to keep us on the road or to offer us a replacement vehicle to ensure our teams aren't disrupted in their day.

While dealing with the staff at Northgate Vehicle Hire I've had a very positive experience. I advised them about the ongoing problems I have with my neck and shoulder so they took their time to show me round the vans until I found something suitable and comfortable. I would definitely recommend them and would happily use again.

Staff went above and beyond to help me with my vehicle. They thought of my safety above all. I would like to mention a Karen that works there, her customer service skills are exceptional with great communications and above all a friendly face to talk with. So 5 stars are 100%

Glasgow Northgate

My initial experience with northgate was really poor, however the Glasgow branch have went above and beyond, particularly Nick & Chris. If I had wrote this review 8 months ago when I opened my account it would have definitely been a 1 star. Few miscommunications between accounts department and the depot had left me with vehicles in really poor condition. Thankfully that’s where Nick & Chris came in and sorted my issues 110%, My fleet is now all less than 1 year old, and each time they get a vehicle that they think would suit my needs they always call and offer me the option to take that vehicle. The front desk and service staff are all polite and friendly, always up for a laugh and a joke. I’m glad i allowed Nick & Chris to sort the problems and they both delivered what they said they would. My account Manager Danny, he’s always been on hand to sort any queries. Thanks NG, particularly Glasgow branch.

Graeme, thank you so much for this! Whilst I am really sorry that just some months ago you had a bad experience, I am over the moon to see that this has turned round and you have given us an amazing 5*! Nick and Chris will be so pleased to see this as I know they take a real pride in what they do! I am going to pass your feedback onto the branch and higher management to ensure your thanks for the guys is heard.

Visit to remember

Van booked in for service and i was really apprehensive due to previous years visit ie Rude uninterested staff and lost 6 hrs work waiting.Arrived 30 mins early and was greeted by a woman called Karen. I asked how long i would be and explained by last unfortunate experience with Northgate . She told be a realistic timeline and if that time was going to change due to parts or extra work she would inform me. Told her i knew where the wait area was and she said with a large smile well as you can see the staff have changed and so has our VIP deluxe waiting lounge you will now find large flat screen tv, free sports channels and a exotic range of complimetary nibbles. Everyone behind me waiting started laughing as we knew she was at it, then she said no just grab your sandwiches and phone. What a difference Northgate to have friendy, entertaining and knowledgable staff. Other guys in the waiting area all had the same friendly and funny experience and it brighted a wet miserable day. Your mechanics had my van ready in 2hrs which was a bonus!. I dont usually bother with reviews but this visit stuck
i told my transport manager and he suggested this review as he had been hearing from other engineers having similar encounters at the reception. Keep up the good work Northgate from a normaly unimpressed gas engineer.

Poor customer service

On 10/11/2021 at 15:36 I contacted your service desk on 0141 773 6300 to arrange a service for the van I drive. I received an appointment for December 10th at 13:00. I explained to the receptionist that I would require a replacement vehicle as the last time I attended that depot I had to wait for 5 hours and I would need to continue working. The receptionist became very agitated saying that no replacement would be available without explaining why. She did say that you have a very large fleet which I do appreciate. Eventually she hung up. This is not the first time I have been treated like this by this depot. Obviously customer care doesn’t rate very highly at the depot.

I am so sorry to hear your report of the service you received when contacting our branch. Please be assured this will be investigated.
In regards to replacement vehicles, unfortunately we are experiencing vehicle availability issues which is a problem being felt across the entire motor industry, and this can lead to us being restricted in what we can offer in terms of replacement vehicles. However, if this does affect you as our customer, we would expect that you are courteously informed and this matter discussed with you to try and come to a resolution. If this hasn't happened then I am very sorry.
I am going to reach out to our branch now to start an investigation and find out exactly what has happened in this particular instance.
Please feel free to reach out to us here in Customer Services if you have anything further you would like to add and we will happily look into this for you.
Sorry again that your experience with us on this occasion fell short of expectation, that isn't how we want any customer to feel.
You can contact us at customer.services@northgate.co.uk or you can call us on 03330 431095 Option: 4 Option: 3.
Many Thanks
