Be Wary

If I could, I would give them 0 stars. My husband and I went to this dealership and bought 2 Leapmotor vehicles. We liked them so much that our son and daughter also bought a vehicle each. As we had bought 4 vehicles we were promised the car mats for free and also money for a new key card for one of the vehicles. We are still waiting and it has been 11 months. The manager, Richard, is well aware of this as he was the one who authorised the freebies but has not done anything about it since. I keep texting Jordan, who was the salesman and I tried e mailing Richard but have got nothing from them. It seems that they sell the vehicles but then don’t have any time for you afterwards. Aftersales is atrocious. They are now no longer a Leapmotor dealer but a Chery dealership.

Hello Özlem,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are sorry to read your comments and to learn that you feel disappointed with the service received. This is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver across Toomey Motor Group.

We are aware of your case and the concerns you have raised regarding the outstanding items referenced in your review. This matter has been escalated internally, and our management team will be contacting you directly to discuss the situation in full and work towards a satisfactory resolution.

For clarity, Chery has recently joined our portfolio of brands and operates as a separate retail franchise within the group. As such, the Chery team referred to in your review is not the same team currently handling your concern, which has now been escalated to the appropriate management team for review and action.

We appreciate your patience while we look into this for you.

Kind regards, Toomey Motor Group.

Appalling customer service

Appalling customer service. Test drive arranged for 2pm, a walk in customer takes my test drive. I have better things to be doing with my family at the weekend rather than waiting for you guys to get your act together!

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service; particularly by comparison to the Chelmsford branch where this is shocking.

Mia Charters was incredibly friendly and efficient. I appreciated regular check ins during the day to update me of progress.

I'll definitely rebook here for any further motoring needs.

I had a puncture (unbeknown to me as I thought it was a problem with either the valve or the tyre monitoring system!) It transpired it was a double but slow puncture which was not reparable. When Toomey (Laindon) knew that I was making a long journey on Monday MIA (CHARTERS) went out of her way to try to secure me an appointment today. She was pleasant, efficient and friendly. The technician LEWIS (CRICK) was efficient at sorting the problem as well as kindly fitting us in at the last minute. I would highly commend everyone at this dealership if the people I dealt with today are an example. Thank you for your helpfulness and consideration.

Excellent dealership highly recommend! (Chery)

Excellent dealership! We absolutely love our new Chery Tiggo 8. The staff at Laindon were fantastic, and Elise in particular made sure our car-buying journey went smoothly from start to finish. The entire process was seamless—we ordered the car on Saturday and collected it just four days later on Wednesday. Elise was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and always quick to answer any questions we had. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received and would highly recommend this dealership and car to anyone ! Thankyou!

Hyundai service at Toomey motor group Basildon.

We were made very welcome and Sofia was very helpful and kept us well informed throughout the service proceedings. We would certainly recommend Toomey motor group for anyone buying or servicing their vehicle.

Great customer experience

Went to MG Basildon for my MOT.
Ellie was extremely polite, but the highlight of my experience was from Kris the Technician!
He was extremely knowledgeable, kind hearted, and explained everything to me.
I could not put into words how great Kris was!

Outstanding Customer Service

I would like to say a huge thank you to Ellie Barker at MG Toomey Motor Group for the excellent customer service she provided.

From the moment I arrived, Ellie greeted me with a lovely smile and made me feel genuinely welcome. I had arrived an hour early for my MOT and service, and she went out of her way to manage getting my car booked in earlier than scheduled, which I really appreciated.

Ellie was warm, friendly, professional, and her customer focus was second to none throughout my visit. She is an absolute credit to the company and made the whole experience very pleasant and stress-free.

It’s because of people like Ellie that customers continue to come back. Outstanding service thank you again.
