Avoid at ALL costs
Horrific, atrocious and despicable after sales care- especially from owner / manager.
Dismissive attitude, fobbed off MANY times on the following story.
Bought the car in March, however car needed a part which I was PROMISED by one of their ex- colleagues (who I was told created many issues with customers over promises) that it would be order and fitted by them.
After a few backwards and forwards, I took the car in, they checked it, then I was told that it needs a new part - fair enough. After two months or so of no follow up, I went and stood there and was told that apparently the part was coming from Lithuania (!).
Waited and waited and waited until August - I mean how long does a parcel takes to arrive from country to country? We rang again to be told that they’re still waiting for it.
Completely fed up and feeling like I have been told lies, I took myself to the nearest BMW / MINI dealership and was told they currently had 21 in stock- TWENTY ONE, not one or two. The BMW / MINI dealership also said they were not aware these parts are made in Lithuania.
A six month wait and continuous fobbing off with no updates whatsoever. I had to chase them up over and over and over and over again and eventually go the garage and stand there with proof of the stock from the BMW / MINI dealership for something to be done on the spot!
The part was then ordered two weeks ago and repaired -exactly six months later, today.
I waited all day and when I tried to ring for an update their phone number was not working and i had to physically go to the garage to request an update- this has also happened in the past.
Even thought every call attempt for an update failed, whilst I was waiting for the car to be returned, I could hear the landline phone ringing. Whether they had blocked my number; who knows.
Even after all this, today I waited until the very last minute of the place closing so they could go and collect my car and bring it back after being sorted- they probably done it as revenge for the amount of time I hassled them to get what was promised to me. The car had been ready for 45 minutes and there was no urgency for anyone to bring it back even as a courtesy gesture for the carry on - instead they were sitting laughing in the office and the priority was of course new customers that were looking at cars.
Absolutely appalling customer service- it feels as if they’re doing you a favour for providing the bare minimum of after sales care.
The owner / manager of the business today didn’t even bother looking at me / say hello / apologise for any of this - nor has he over the last six months. It took a new member of staff who actually bothered to do something about this and only after I appeared with proof in black and white (probably mortified himself that that’s the business he works for).
One they get their money, zero cares in the world; use your hard earned money somewhere else.
