DO NOT USE FOR SERVICE/MOT

Do not use this dealership under any circumstances. Utterly diabolical experience. VEHCLE DRIVEN AROUND CARDIFF BAY WITHOUT PERMISSION.

I entrusted my Golf R to them for an MOT I had booked. An hour later, I received a call from Morgan, the service advisor, asking if the car could be sent to a different garage because they were overbooked. I declined this because I have the All in one VW plan and I only Service with VW or VW approved garages.

Shortly after, I checked the app for the Scorpion S7 tracker fitted on the vehicle and discovered a journey. My vehicle has been taken up the dual carriageway and around Cardiff Bay without my permission.

I called them and challenged the service advisor, Morgan. He falsely claimed the car had already been sent out before asking me for permission. He claimed it was going to express garage which is no where near Cardiff Bay!! When I later collected the car (which was serviced at the VW Van Centre instead), Morgan was unapologetic, sarcastic, and dismissive of my concerns about my performance vehicle being driven at speed without authorisation. He told me “if we wanted to drive a Golf R we would”. I was told that the service manager Sarah Behnan had said to send my car somewhere else- WITHOUT MY CONSENT. I showed the tracker app evidence to Tracy at front of house, who advised I contact head of business.

I raised a complaint with Nick Payne (Head of Business). Instead of an apology from those involved or any form of compensation, I was sent a token “hamper” of cheap cakes (pound shop style), which felt insulting given the seriousness of what had happened. I was also told that sometimes they send cars somewhere else and most people wouldn’t mind! But people don’t know!!!! Not everyone has a tracker on their vehicle!!!

This dealership cannot be trusted. Their staff are dishonest, dismissive, and unprofessional. I would strongly advise against leaving your car with them. I am mortified this is how they operate.

I would like to share this experience to warn you that YOUR CAR is not safe with VW Sinclair Cardiff! They drive it around and send it to other places without your knowledge and completely disregard customer consent, trust, and loyalty (3 years in my case). I advise you use VW Newport as they’re professional and do not deceive people.

Amazing experience

Martina was amazing from start to finish. She guided us through the whole process in a super professional and patient way that never felt pushy. Would highly recommend heading to Cardiff Volkswagen and asking for Martina!

Excellent service from start to finish

The entire process of buy a new VW went really well from the initial test drive to the final handover. PC looked after us, tolerated our novice questions (it was our first EV purchase) and made sure that we got the right model for us at the right price.
