Jack Quinn has to be given 5*

Jack Quinn has to be given 5*. He has been amazing and he never ever rushed me into the sale even though i explained my work hours he was so helpful and so stress free purchase. I am soo happy with the order. Jack Quinn also sent me so many vouchers after purchase which was so kind of him. He is a gem to the company.

Used Mini Purchase

I enquired about buying a used Mini at Sytner Newport and Subhan Atif was happy to help me. Sub took time to show me the cars I was interested in and discussed purchased details with me. I'm really happy with my mini and Sub has since contacted me a few times to ensure I'm happy. Great customer service!

Jack Quinn at Sytner MINI Newport was fantastic!

I am extremely happy with the vehicle and the additional features the JCW MINI Convertible has over my previous JCW Hatch. 10/10 for the car.

I am also very pleased with the help from Jack Quinn who went to a lot of trouble to make the purchase and handover experience very memorable.

With both Jack and Tilly arranging the deal and representing Sytner as a group, they were extremely helpful throughout the entire process and were very professional. 10/10.

Avoid with a barge pole…..

The sell was full throttle but the delivery and fault solving was appalling!! Had to leave the dealership with no satnav as they hadn’t bothered to activate it……after 2 months of trying to get them to sort it out, I have to get it done myself at another mini dealership! Avoid Sytner with a barge pole

Purchase of a Mini Clubman

A very easy process from beginning to end. I was made to feel welcomed, nothing was too much trouble and every finance option was explained clearly so I could make the right decision.
Louise kept me informed of every suitable car and contacted me to keep me updated. She knew exactly what I was looking for and got me the car I wanted. She was very patient with me and understood that buying a new car was something I don’t do often.
From start to finish Louise was outstanding with her sales technique. I couldn’t have asked for more! She even kept in contact after the purchase of the car to ensure I was happy.
All the staff, James and Tilly worked hard to support me with the purchase of my car- and I love my car!
Thank you all very much!
Helga :)

AVOID. Business Manager is appalling to deal with..

Would highly recommend avoiding this dealership, and taking your business to Cardiff or Swansea.
I put a £99 deposit on a vehicle 06/07/22 while I was waiting to sell my car, I agreed to sign all paperwork etc. before the sale of mine the following Wednesday, just to make the process quicker. Business Manager James Chesworth didn't reply to my email, didn't reply to my subsequent calls, so I bought a vehicle from Sytner Cardiff. (To be clear I have never visited Newport Sytner, all correspondents were done at distance via email/phone).
I called Newport Sytner to tell them I had gone elsewhere and bought a vehicle on 14/07/22, 8 days later, and was told my deposit would be refunded.

After chasing this for nearly 4 weeks now, still no refund, and the Business Manager JC has contacted me to say its not refundable now, as I'd not treated him nicely as a customer because I went elsewhere. They were short staffed, he didn't have a chance to contact me back, etc etc. After a heated discussion he is still refusing to refund me, clearly contravening Sytners own T&C's section - '13. Distance and Off Premises Contracts', as well as distance selling regulations.
I have emailed Richard Fellows & Jamie Hutcheon at Sytner Newport, yet to receive a reply.

Complaint also logged with MINI UK, currently waiting a conclusion before I am able to let the Motor Ombudsman take my complaint forward.

Edit after Sytner replied -
Richard, if your staff were aware of the legislation they are bound by my refund wouldn’t have taken so long. If your staff returned emails and calls you would have sold the car. You had no right to withhold my deposit, I have the right to cancel my order under distant selling regs without giving you any reason, even though the reason was failure to contact me to complete my order when I was in need of a car asap. Maybe you should direct your frustrations at your ill informed staff.

To add, after a positive conversation with Jamie Hutcheon yesterday, he has sorted out my refund himself.

Good Morning, I am sorry to read your review. To clarify a couple of points, we did keep the vehicle that you deposited on and signed the paperwork off sale in good faith whilst you dealt with your current vehicle. You then informed us after this time that you had purchased a vehicle elsewhere. I have also instructed the team last week to refund your deposit which has been done and can take up to 7 working days to credit back on to your account. It would have been appreciated if you had told us prior to you purchasing an alternative vehicle that you were not interested in our vehicle and we could have unwound this a lot quicker for you. Regards Richard Fellows Head of Business
