Happy XC40 driver

Our experience with Waylands Reading was outstanding. From start to finish, we received excellent service and clear, detailed advice from Mr. Jed Lisiecki. He made us feel completely at ease, focusing not just on selling us a car, but on ensuring that the 2023 Volvo XC40 was the right choice for our family's needs. His professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence in our purchase. Jed is a fantastic salesperson, and we highly recommend both him and Waylands Reading.

Volvo - Reading

We had a superb experience with Jed at Waylands Volvo Reading - we bought an XC90 that ticked all of our boxes, all thanks to Jed!

Jed was professional, informative, and happy to answer any question! His knowledge of the cars and Volvo was outstanding, and his personal approach of getting to know us made the experience so much more enjoyable.

Jed really made the experience for us, and we are so pleased with our car.

XC40 Purchase

Recently purchased a 1yr old XC40 from Waylands Bristol. Having had encounters with various salespeople across various other businesses in the proceeding months during our research on a new car, meeting Tom at Waylands was refreshing. He gauged what information we wanted and gave us it so we could decide what best suited, even giving advice on certain things that probably weren't worth it. Obviously the business strategy is for the long-game of repeat custom, over trying up upsell at every opportunity.

I would recommend Waylands Cambridge

I would recommend Waylands Cambridge Garage to friends and family because the service is outstanding. All the staff were professional, friendly & had great knowledge, especially Adam. One of the best garages ive purchased from.

Overall a positive experience

Phil collected my car as agreed first thing in the morning. He was friendly and efficient.
Emma from the service team, dealt with me throughout the day, and kept me updated. She was very polite, knowledgeable, and friendly.
And at the end of the day, Phil returned my car- and again he was polite, friendly and had a little chat, as he also has a background working with Volvo’s.
Overall, a positive experience.

I recently purchased a used car from Jon Green at Volvo Waylands Bristol

I recently purchased a used car from Volvo, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. A huge thank you to Jon Green for his outstanding professionalism and support throughout the process. Jon was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and never made me feel pressured. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure the car was in pristine condition before handover. If you are looking for a stress-free car-buying experience with top-tier customer service, definitely ask for Jon Green!

Dealership lies …

Booked me in for my EX30 recall along with my service. Called with little notice to say it is cancelled as no parts available. The lady said no new appointments were available until October but they would squeeze me in somewhere.

They made no mention of the service so I assumed this would go ahead, and I received a text message to go to this booking. I emailed to confirm and was told do not come!

I then discover that someone I know of got booked in for August, and this booking was made after my cancellation. I challenged Jamie in the service department over this because why wasn't this appointment offered to those who were cancelled. He ignored this email, obviously.

Do not buy a Volvo as Volvo Customer UK have no customer service whatsoever. If anything goes wrong they won’t help.

This dealer, whilst initially helpful, has lied and that is unacceptable. Lying to customers is,in my opinion, the most vulgar of traits. Once a dealer tells you lies there is no trust.

Two times my car was booked in, two times they had no idea how to fix it. Each time I told them how to because I am part of the FB EX30 forum and the members know far more than the dealers. I had to keep going back and it was indeed what I had told them to do in the first instance - a loose wire in the door. I even had to tell one of them how to fix the rattle on my dashboard - he was great, listened to me and did what I asked with a successful repair.

My first Volvo and it’s the biggest regret of my life. Can’t even trade it in or sell it because of the outstanding recall.
