Jemca Toyota Croydon Reviews 

They took my car in for a recall at Jemca Edgware Road, the air bags were faulty. While it was there, they checked the whole car and found faults which they then emailed, texted and called me about. Faults that I knew about and had already planned to remedy. To top it off, they took personal items out of my glove box and actually pulled up my driver's mat and stuck it in my boot! A damn cheek, all of it. How dare they?

After 15 years or so of being a Toyota and Jemca customer I have been let down despite being promised a car delivered timely. Following a huge delay already I have been advised that my deposit will be increased in the new year and no one can tell me a delivery date. Resulting in loss of funds and unexpected lease payments. If that was not enough for an abusive phone call with the phone being thrown at me by a very unprofessional sales man at Jemca Edgware called Dev Patel.

Me and my Mrs went to see cars in Jemca Toyota in Bracknell. I'm pleased to say they were very helpful, not only that they were very friendly and focused on the customer's needs too. I'll recommend it to anyone who loves Toyota cars. Please do visit Jemca Toyota Bracknell. Like I said, everyone in the showroom is very friendly. They'll look after you.

Prior to purchasing my Toyota CHR, I had visited and contacted a number of garages. Once I had made contact with Jemca toyota in reading, I was introduced to Byron. I cannot fault the quality of customer service that we received from this young man. In order to be given good customer service we were happy to travel. We organised a test drive at Toyota reading and we traveled from Lincolnshire to do this. When we were introduced to Byron we could tell instantly that he was a genuine salesman. He constantly kept us updated with the progress of the sale and replied to our emails efficiently. I cannot fault the service that he provided and was extremely impressed with him. He is a credit to Jemca toyota reading.

I went to order a new car and I had to wait for 30 mins before I could talk to someone. I managed to place the order through a very rude sales agent after 2 hours. Instead of answering our questions, He was trying to sell a GAP insurance.

It has been a week and I called them many times and they can not confirm whether they placed my order to Toyota or not. They don't respond to the emails either. Very poor service. I wish there was a way to complain to Toyota about this dealership.

Make it feel like once you’ve purchased their obligation is fulfilled, sales great, product (cars) great. Trying to contact or book in for servicing the worse experience. Would use again for purchase but aftercare packages I would source elsewhere

V poor customer service at Jemca edgware road service centre. I chose this place as they supplied our car. It is not convenient for me to get to as it is 30mins drive away but the sales team were great so I thought I’d be loyal to them for the annual service.

I booked in the service after a bit of a wait on the phone and told them about a specific issue with a reverse sensor. They added a note to the booking but didn’t discuss it with me.

Check in was fine. The problems started later in the day. There were the usual upselling attempts by phone which I expected from a major dealer. However, it got to 4pm and I was wondering about the car service. I called and got no answer. Again, and no answer. A third time. Same. It seems they don’t have people answering the phones. Weird.

Eventually, they called me around 4:30 to say it was ready so I went to get it. This is a 50 min journey for me without the car.

I arrived and was directed to one of two queues. A third queue formed next to me. My service agent didn’t even acknowledge my existence and left the desk never to be seen again. The queues on either side of me were attended to but I didn’t have anyone to help me. I was apparently deliberately ignored for 30 mins until I asked the next door service agent who seemed surprised to see me.

Eventually the agent in another queue asked me over. He made a string of excuses about staffing and mumbled an apology. I mentioned the phone problem and he said the same excuses without acknowledging the inconvenience. I mentioned that I just wanted to pay snd leave.

We went through the service invoice snd there was no indication of the sensor repair. I raised this and was told “they didn’t have time”. When I said that I didn’t have time either he didn’t understand. Turns out that the original booking in should have booked in 3hrs labour to remove the rear bumper, as if I should’ve known that!? This was not my fault and they essentially wasted my time because they don’t train their staff to book in service and repairs properly.

I will be finding somewhere else to get that fixed now.

Jemca Work not all it’s cracked up to be - subsequent dealership observed faulty work in excess of £1500 damage and Jemca refused to cover the work to get it fixed - shocking after service , arrogant and rude when dealing with compliants - takeyour money willingly for service plan but that means Jack when they do something wrong

My 2011 Toyota Prius was booked in for a service and MOT at Jemca Edgware Road, on Saturday 27th March. I have been a loyal customer of Jemca for many years, including buying this and my last car at Jemca Enfield. I had a phone call, Saturday early afternoon, from Mikey Dong, senior service advisor to say 'Bad news, your car failed its MOT'.
To cut a long story short the reason was the seat belt buckle (middle of back seat which has never been used) did not reliably work. The MOT expired on 27th, that day. I called a nearby recommended garage, Finchley Park Autos (in desperation). The guy there, Ram, checked the buckle for me and said it just needed some WD40 spray; he sprayed the buckle a few times and assured me it was absolutely fine. (I'd told him when I tried it, it worked 8 times out of 9 and I had two video clips to prove this). I was advised to call Jemca again, ASAP, to rebook the MOT. I took the car back there on Tuesday morning, waited 50 mins. I was then handed an MOT certificate! The problem was that some crumbs and a few truly minute pieces of red plastic inside the area of the seat belt buckle. Why didn't the service mechanics check it worked, then quickly clean it out before it went for its MOT check onsite? They'd taken a photo showing a few crumbs and a few minute pieces of red plastic. The level of upset and stress caused had been compounded by the fact that on Saturday I was told the seat belt buckle part was unavailable as their factory was closed and I'd have to wait TWO MONTHS! I said I cannot have my car off the road for that long. I was advised that maybe another garage might have stock of this item.
When I called Mikey Dong back in the afternoon of 27th and told him the stress caused by his news and how he told me... he did apologise. On a separate note, I was advised by Mikey Dong that I had a 'deep cut' that meant it was advisory to replace a tyre. I had previously taken the car to Kwik-Fit (November), Costco (February) and then on Monday 29th Finchley Park Autos checked this, as I wanted to be sure it was safe. All said it was not a deep cut and that it was definitely not necessary to replace this tyre.
One more issue. I was told that where the catalytic converter had had to be replaced in Nov '20 (as it was stolen). LV arranged for it to be repaired at their recommended garage, Rye Street Motors, whom I'd found to be excellent. I had asked for a Catloc to be fitted by Jemca, which I paid £600 for.
I was told on the 30th March that there was a leak of coolant from this site. Why was this not noticed back in November when they fitted the Catloc?
I have now had to call my car insurance company, LV, and explain this overlooked problem relating to the November claim. I feel that Jemca Edgware Road are not offering the quality of service that might even be considered adequate. I paid for the replacement of brake pads as I was advised to do this. I accept that. However I want a garage that I can truly trust not one that tries to sell me a tyre that has been checked by 3 tyre specialists at different garages who all said it is absolutely safe and fine; where a coolant leak is spotted and I am informed at the time, where I am not told 'Bad news your car has failed its MOT' when it is a problem that they could so easily have quickly and easily rectified. If the car was passed on Tuesday 30th March when all that was done was a quick clean of the seat belt buckle, why couldn't they have done this on the Saturday and saved me a ton of stress? Beware. Do not go to this garage if you can find a decent alternative. This past experience has put me off buying another Toyota Prius in the future.

Update - after some time I heard back from customer services. They have done something to make up for the terrible service. I hope they learn something from what happened with me as detailed above. They have promised to do so...

TOYOTA READING --V GOOD SERVICE
Thanks salesman Paul !

Jemca - Lexus Reading

Salesman who didn't return emails or phone calls. Missile add on services like tyre insurance and smart repairs.

Service team who I was unable to contact by phone and don't reply to emails.

I would not use them.

Booked a test drive appointment at Jemca in Edgware Road. Turned up on time. They kept my wife and I waiting for 20 minutes with very little information, only once acknowledging that we were waiting and in reception. Awful service, particularly as we need to buy a car this month.

Edgware Road
This is about a car I brought from Jemca Edgware Road coming up to 2 years ago and what I have learnt about the car they sold me.
- called to ask if would be able to come and view (have day and time) told yes, got there told oh sorry it’s not here at the moment you will have to come back.
- MOT - sold as no faults but when investigated on next not noticed the same problems came up on the not a year later as the one before they did there’s to sell it to me
- was going to sell car with serious fault as exhaust was not attached, was told they would order part and I then could bring it back and they would fix it in a couple of hours. Came when they told me to and then sat around for three hours to be told, no it’s going to take a few days. I will admit after some debate they did get me a minicab to get back home but was left without a car for a week whilst they fixed it and to this day am sometimes unsure if they did it completely right.

Recently the catalytic converter from our Toyota car was removed from our family car within 60 seconds! The incident was very distressing and caused a great deal of inconvenience.
Once JEMCA Croydon got involved they explained the procedure and kept me fully informed throughout.
Photographs were taken at each stage and a catalytic lock was also installed.
Olivia Haywood and Arnie Gauci answered all my questions on the phone and replied to all my emails promptly. Arnie took some time-out to phone me and explain the function of the different type of bolts and why this cat lock can be a very effective deterrent.
Arnie even invited me to visit and offered to put the car on a ramp and explain the repair in detail!
All in all, I found the service very professional and friendly.
This company truly deserves a 5 star rating.

I’ve been a customer of Jemca Toyota in Edgware Road London for over 20 years and have bought four cars from them. My current car, less than a year old had suffered some body damage from my garage gate at my own hand and I must compliment Jemca and particular Dawid Mazurkiewicz their Bodyshop advisor. Toyota provided a courtesy car of almost the exact model as my own and also practically new. The repair took several weeks and Dawid assured me I’d get my car back if and only if he was satisfied with the work. Needless to say, the repair is perfect. At the time my car was ready for collection I was suffering from a chest infection and Dawid very kindly delivered to car back to me personally and took care of the paperwork.
