Toomey Motor Group - Toomey MG Basildon Reviews 

It was a very professional service. Mia was very helpful and managed to fit my service on the day. She gave great customer service and was very knowledgeable about the work that was done. It was also very prompt, and the whole booking in process very smooth.

I have been dealing with this MG garage for the past 6 years. Today was the first time I have written a review. I was greeted warmly & professionally by Mia. I could see that Mia and her colleague have the front desk run like a well oiled machine. Mia is an asset to this garage. Very good communicator (in the past although friendly, communication skills have always been lacking with other staff members which can lead to frustration) I had excellent service. Very pleased. Thank you Mia & team.

Ellie was fantastic and helpful from beginning till end of visit

I never imagined I would still be dealing with this months later.

I bought my MG ZS EV Trophy in January 2025 for £23,050. Since then, I have experienced repeated failures of the vehicle’s rapid charging system, leaving me stranded hundreds of miles from home on multiple occasions.

The timeline so far:

• Barnsley – the car would not rapid charge despite multiple attempts across several chargers.

• Peterborough Services – the car failed to charge again and had to be recovered.

• Paignton – stranded at 8pm in pouring rain with my two young children after the same charging fault occurred. The AA attended and cleared fault codes to get us moving again.

• Further breakdowns followed, leading me to formally reject the vehicle and begin preparing legal action.

Following intervention from management, I agreed to pause court action when I was promised a courtesy car and told they would get to the bottom of the problem.

My vehicle then spent more than 3 weeks with the dealership, where a new module was fitted. I was hopeful that the issue had finally been resolved.

For the last 2 weeks, the car appeared to be working normally.

Today, the fault returned.

The vehicle is once again refusing to charge and displaying multiple error messages. Following previous advice, I tried multiple chargers, but the result was the same. The battery is now showing 0 miles remaining.

When I contacted the dealership this morning, I was asked if I could bring the vehicle in on Wednesday.

The problem is simple: the vehicle has 0 miles remaining and will not charge.

How exactly am I supposed to bring it in?

At this point, my frustration is not just with the fault itself. Modern vehicles can develop faults. What matters is how customers are supported when those faults occur. In my opinion, I have not been supported one bit by MG Basildon. Wesley Thorne is the only person who has tried his utmost hardest to help me but even he experienced set backs due to incompetent people at MG Basildon.

I have spent months dealing with breakdowns, recoveries, diagnostics, repairs, promises of resolution and continued uncertainty about whether my vehicle will actually get me where I need to go.

Their own sales and service manager sat me down when I refused my vehicle and the sales manager, Tony, said I really don’t know how to fix your problem, if I give you a replacement you will experience the same fault! He was blaming the public chargers, so don’t buy an MG electric if you plan to use a public charger at any point! As per their sales manager said, it won’t charge! It will be unreliable!

I am sharing this because consumers deserve to know what ownership can look like when things go wrong, and because no family should be repeatedly left stranded due to an unresolved fault.

Girls behind desk so helpful especially Mia so good

It was very rewarding for me to see a young lady working hard at her job in my opinion deserves a reward for the efforts on front desk ..

Very satisfied with the service I'm received at mg in Basildon today Mia was very helpful. 5 stars to the team very friendly

Mia and Ellie were amazing when dropping my car off and collecting it from a service. They explained things really well and were patient with me and my questions
Only downside is that since the service I now have an error come up " service required immediately" which is a known fault and no fix in place to remove and will have to wait for a fix to be put in place! The error was not there prior to the service

Excellent customer service at Toomey Motors Basildon.
Mia was very helpful and greeted with a smile and explained everything with me.

Ellie was great! Thank you to the entire team!

Mia called me the day before my appointment as a reminder and was on site early to meet me and take care of both myself and my car. Polite professional and friendly service provided by a charming young lady. A credit to MG, thanks Mia
Just a shame the service technician forgot to reset my service light
