While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 41 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Customers consistently report extremely poor customer service, characterized by non-existent communication and a lack of responsiveness. Many experienced significant delays in receiving replies to emails and phone calls, often finding it impossible to reach anyone or get meaningful updates. This poor communication extends to issues with payments, where customers were quick to be charged but slow to have problems resolved, leading to disputes and incorrect charges on credit files. Reviewers also frequently mention problems with their vehicles, such as faults, extended repair times, and a lack of replacement vehicles, despite having maintenance plans. The company's handling of complaints is often criticized, with many feeling their concerns are dismissed or met with generic, unhelpful responses, leading some to escalate issues to external bodies.

THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY

THIS IS THE WORST COMPANY. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF. STAY AWAY. THEY WILL MAKE UP INVOICES AND EXPECT YOU TO PAY FOR MADE UP CHARGES.
THEY WILL BLATANTLY LIE TO YOU AND THEN DENY IT. WHEN YOU ASK THEM TO LISTEN BACK TO THE TELEPHONE CALLS THEY WILL REFUSE BECAUSE IT PROVES THEIR LIES. THERE COMPANY VALUES ARE
1. LIE
2. MAKE UP CHARGES AND RIP CUSTOMERS OFF

I PAID THEM OVER £9000 AND THEY STILL JUST MAKING CHARGES UP .
THEY CLAIM TO HAVE A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE DEPARTMENT WHICH IS A JOKE.THEY HAVE A CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE ADVISORS WHO CANT BE BOTHERED TO LISTEN AND CONTINUES THE COMPANY VALUES OF LYING
