Cheaply sprayed alloys/chrome work

Bought a car this time last year. Customer service was good while going through the buying process.

However, the alloys, front grill and roof bars are peeling with paint. Messaged the contact I bought the car from a couple of times and no response. Expensive car ruined due to poor paintwork.

Unprofessional Customer Service

Enquired about a vehicle I was interested in. Suggested two different days when I was available to view. Also gave details of my vehicle with a view to part exchange and was told someone would be back in touch.

Despite my chasing up via email the company have totally ignored me.
When I raised the issues via WhatsApp I was told my vehicle's part exchange value was too low and of no use to them.

So, instead of suggesting I sell private (with the reasons why) and arrange a viewing date, the company simply decided to ignore me. I have today received an arrogant WhatsApp messages explaining why I was no longer of use to them.

Hi Alan this is for the Garage side of things but i have sent this onto car sales to respond.

response from car sales :

Hi Alan

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We are very sorry to hear that you feel this way, as this is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

Having reviewed your enquiry, we can see that we did respond and sent a personalised video of the vehicle via WhatsApp. However, it’s clear that we didn’t communicate as clearly or effectively as we should have, particularly regarding your part exchange and for that we apologise.

Our intention was never to dismiss your vehicle, only to be transparent and helpful, but we fully appreciate how this may have come across differently.

We did try to contact you today as we would really welcome the opportunity to understand what went wrong and see if we can put things right for you.

If you’re open to a conversation, please feel free to contact Wade.

Great customer service

They are so helpful and friendly and I was sat waiting and they kept going to check on the cars progress to give me an update. They went through all the future needs of my car and answered any questions I had. Customer service is great and I won't go to another garage now

Do not follow the law

Purchased a car online with the assurance that as per distance selling law we have 14 days to return. Car was delivered by a driver which we paid for, once here many faults were spotted but we were told as he was just an independent driver he had to leave to get the train. After numerous phone calls and emails. I have now received an email saying we 'accepted ' the car when delivered so 14 day return does not apply. Spoke to citizens advice and Sheffield trading standards who advised they have to accept the return. Emailed many times with evidence etc. No reply 'Wade' who sent the email can not be reached and only he 'can authorise. Be aware of this company all about the sales and then refuse to follow the law. So disappointing with other good reviews but as always this seems false. AVOID

Bought a 2022 Q2 from here today and the service from Rob and the team were unparalleled to anywhere else ive ever purchased a car.
From start to finish the process was smooth and easy, Rob was extremely helpful and dealt with everything for me just told me where and what to sign, he turned the car around in an extremely short time frame for me so I was able to pick up when I needed it and drive away completely happy.

Many thanks to Rob and the guys, highly reccomend 10/10

🚘🤩 Simply the Best 🤩🚘

Brett, Gary and the whole team consistently go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service. They always take the time to clearly explain the work needed in advance, stick to their promised timelines, and keep me updated throughout. I recently had my MOT done here and, as always, nothing was too much trouble.

It’s excellent value for money, and if you need to stay mobile, you can book a courtesy car in advance – super convenient. The customer area is friendly and welcoming too – I sometimes bring my laptop and get some work done while I wait if it’s a quick job. Great coffee and Biscoffs are a lovely touch!

I wouldn’t go anywhere else – top-notch service from start to finish.

Brilliant customer service

I bought a car from German Autocentre last week and I could not be happier. The whole process went so smoothly and everyone I dealt with was so helpful, friendly and efficient. They even gave me a cute little teddy to bring home!! Thank you so much, would definitely recommend. Brilliant customer service 😊

Amazing Service, and great people to deal with

I can absolutely see why German Auto Centre has thousands of great reviews. I was referred by Mr Din at Apollo Prestige to get my Land Rover Range Rover serviced and checked over. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. I dealt with Abbie, Brett, and Steve — all of whom went above and beyond to get everything sorted and kept me fully informed about any issues they found during the health check.

The place is spotless, the team is professional, and they actually take the time to explain things clearly, which I really appreciated. Pricing was, in my opinion, more than fair for the quality of service and peace of mind they deliver.

From now on, I’ll be bringing all my cars here. It's one less stress knowing I’ve found a garage I can genuinely trust. Great work, team!

Recently bought a Kia Sportage from here. I felt welcomed as soon as i walked in to reception. The car was exactly as described re condition, service history etc. I noticed two or three things that needed reassurance (cosmetic really eg, a few scratches). "We'll sort it" they assured me. They did, and they delivered the car when promised. Cannot fault them, special mention goes to Mel in reception and Rob?Trev. First Class!

Just brilliant and so professional.

I bought my VW Sharan from German Autocentres a few months ago. I was really pleased with the openness and  honesty of the sales staff. They were a million miles from the "del boy used car salesman " type .  The whole operation was extremely polished and professional. Just when it was going so well I got the car home and was disappointed that a few features I expected to be present were missing. I took this up with the dealer expecting some sort of fob off and turning it into a fault on my part. How wrong was I. The Director, Wade, was brilliant. It transpired VW were at fault. Wade has bent over backwards to correct these issues, and done so out of his own pocket. What more can you ask for.  This organisation and the people within it are excellent and I can't recommend them highly enough.  Buy from them with confidence.

First class service of my Porsche Panamera for a fraction of the dealer quote. Courtesy car waiting although I didn’t request one, job completed sooner than I requested, all with a friendly and helpful service throughout.

EML on dash

Just come back from German Autocentre today for my EML on dash. They were really honest the current fault was the mass air flow sensor because due to a loose hose and clip. They fixed the hose clip and reset the values of the car hopefully this fixed the problem.
