Lied to by the service manager

Went in to have its headlight replaced that failed. When the car was in I asked to have the engine coolant topped up. Checked with the service rep both when dropping the car AND when collecting that this had been checked/done. I was assured that it had been completed. On the drive home my engine coolant light came back on so the service manager lied to my face. Also origianlly made the appointment in August. At 5:30pm the night before my 8:30am appointment in October, I was told it was cancelled and then had to rearrange to November. A four month wait to get a headlight replaced, and being told the appointment is cancelled the night before the first booked at the last possible moment.

There's a theme here of terrible customer service. Will never go back to this dealership.

bad service

showroom. After collecting my car from its recent service, a warning light appeared on the dashboard immediately. This is unacceptable, especially from a showroom of your size and reputation.
Such oversight raises serious concerns about the quality of work carried out and the attention to detail in your service department. I would never recommend this service centre to anyone based on my experience.
I expect a prompt explanation and resolution to this issue. Please advise how you intend to rectify the situation.

Communication requires improvement

The job was done well, but I had to return my vehicle because I was initially informed that the work was complete when it actually wasn't. The communication needs to be better; I found myself repeatedly calling for updates instead of being proactively informed when the timeline extended beyond what was scheduled.

Why no service reminders?

Why can Stratstone let us know when our service is due? I missed mine and now my warranty is affected. Stratstone have all this information on their systems, why can’t they send an automated message to let us know. Other car companies manage to do this.

Hi Helen,

We appreciate your feedback about the missed service and the concerns regarding your warranty. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

While we do aim to provide timely reminders when a service is due, the responsibility ultimately lies with the vehicle owner. That said, we will be reviewing our communication processes around service notifications to help prevent similar issues in the future.

Ceramic coating failure and appalling post sales service standards

In 2024 I bought a new Jaguar F Pace Hybrid from the Stratstones sale office in Slough - during the sales process they couldn't have been more helpful however subsequent issues caused by their own service department and appalling inactions and repeated failures to respond to reasonable requests led to a complaint and ongoing support from JLR's customer service department in the Midlands. Even with JLR's Customer Service team help several actions have still not been followed through. Due to my own personal experiences I have resolved never to use their services again. In addition, when I bought the car I paid nearly £700 to have the car Ceramic coated. It turns out that this payment pays for the car dealer to have one of their staff apply a fairly basic Diamondbrite product to the car and certainly didn't do anything like they claimed it would in protecting the car and is no better than applying a car wax. The guarantee is pointless and worthless as Diamondbrite merely send a bloke round to wash your car and re-apply this very average product to your car and then claim that they cannot be held responsible for the garages initial application costs nor claims regarding the products benefit's.
I would suggest that to anyone wanting to apply a Ceramic coating to their car that they buy the product from Diamondbrite and do it themselves. The three year claim about never having to wash or wax your car is completely false and you will need to re-do it regularly.

Misleading info, terrible communication.

I had my vehicle in for warranty repairs with two faults. After 10 days, I received both an email and a phone call confirming the vehicle was ready to collect and that the issues had been sorted. However, on arrival I was told only one of the faults was covered under warranty.

For over a week I was completely misled into believing both problems had been repaired under warranty. The garage could easily have informed me that one fault wasn’t covered and provided me with a quote while the car was on site. Instead, I was left under the impression everything had been taken care of, only to be told otherwise at collection.

This lack of transparency wasted my time and left me feeling misled and frustrated. Service advisor was Charlie. Definitely do not recommend and would rather go elsewhere next time.

Great !

I was not extremely keen in having to travel a much longer way to Reading since we were informed that unfortunately our usual garage at Land Rover Slough ceased operating .
I was so pleased however that the level of customer care, friendliness , professionalism and more importantly efficiency was the best I have ever come across ; from A to Z.
THANK YOU !
