This is for Hyundai Newport.
I needed to book my car in for a service, and discuss the different options available. I called and got through to Claire, she was absolutely brilliant and provided a friendly and professional service. She answered all my questions and more, thank you Claire.

I'd recommend Wessex Garages Nissan Cardiff because they have a fantastic selection of new and used cars and very knowledgeable staff
My visits to Wessex Kia dealership were a pleasant and constructive experience and resulted in the purchase of a Kia Sportage which I really like.
The salesman Jayvon was very helpful not only with the purchase procedure but also in helping me by meeting me from and taking me to the station.
Based on my experience I would have no hesitation in recommending this dealership to anyone.
Very pleased with excellent customer service exhibited by Graham Pearce and his colleague Craig.
In addition to being polite and helpful, Graham showed a very good knowledge of the product.
I was also very impressed with the good part exchange deal which I received.
I would certainly recommend that if you are looking for a good part ex deal, that you call in at Wessex Garages, Newport.
Great one on one service. Very helpful and nothing to much trouble. Would definitely recommend.
Great customer service (from Eisha and Tadas). Lovely vehicle they sold me, am delighted with it. No problem goes unrectified. I would recommend this garage 100%
Great Experience with Wessex Garage especially the professionalism of Ben Westerman and Iffy the Salesman.
We have collected our new kia sportage from Wessex Newport.
We have also just received out car mats delivered to our home bu Chloe.
Thank you so much chloe for going above and beyond with customer service.
A wonderful friendly young lady.

I purchased a car from this garage back in January 2023 and after some problems with it, it was identified that it was not serviced by them when they sold it me even though the service was due within 6 months of them selling it and their policy is to service it if it has 6 months or less on it.
They have even told me this and that they should have serviced it, and then tried to back track and lie about it when I have asked for them to confirm in writing what they have told me so I can send this info to KIA itself.
They also told me when they sold me the car that it was due a service in September 2023 and it was not, it was due June 2023, further supporting that they should have done a service before releasing it to me. They have been rude and unhelpful, and clearly sold me a car and lied in order to get rid of it and now will not rectify this even after admitting they are at fault.
Furthermore, when trying to get hold of them, they hang up and reject the call constantly until trying continuously and they eventually answer. And when speaking to other staff and not the one who sold it to you as that person is not in, they do not seem to care and even said 'IT IS NOT MY PROBLEM, IT IS ROSS'S PROBLEM'. Do not recommend this garage at all, steer well clear of them.
Customer service shocking can’t get hold them when you do the say they ring you back and they don’t shocking
I am at a total loss with this garage - I have tried to work with them, but they have had a family members car for over six weeks. A Nissan used approved car sold to us that needed a service and MOT-within three months - no offer to do this prior to purchase.
Promised used approve warranty took months to sort out, no sales invoice and to cap it all when the car was taken to them for repair, the service team sent a video showing the car needed over £2000 of repairs - no more than 4 months into ownership.
What is strange is that the video identified brakes needing replacement, perished tyres etc but the car still passed its MOTat Wessex garages without any advisories.
Have been promised a call back since over a week - no update nothing.
Will give until tomorrow, if no call next stop is Nissan UK along with the video.

Thank you to Andy Shortland on a fast, easy and pleasant service. I absolutely love the car. It is exactly what me and my partner were both looking for. And we both got to say the sat Nav feature is worth every penny

Zoe made our experience really enjoyable she is informative and supportive through what can be a daunting experience. I am delighted with the car, which Zoe gave me a lot if advice on it is my first electric car so her guidance was really appreciated. This is my second car with wessex and I returned as I wanted to deal with Zoe again. In fact whilst she's in sales I would go to wherever she was. The whole experience was 10 out of 10.

Avoid this place at all costs - terrible experience and zero customer service . First car we had 2018-21 no problems but car 21-24 the experience would have been zero if it was an option .In terms of customer service the Nissan 'brand manager ; ( you couldn't make it up !) e mailed me 4 weeks ago saying 'Please feel free to come back to me with any further questions you may have but has never responded . Funny though how e have been bombarded with texts,calls and e mails when they are selling something !! Just so disappointed in the lack of professionalism ,accountability , empathy and lack of customer service . On a positive note we went to Renault City motors where the customer experience from when we went in the door has been 10/10 and our new scenic is due very soon -- something this branch of Nissan could learn from .
