Really easy to order my new car

Really easy to order my new car, the second I've had with FVL. Chris Peart who managed my account and deal was really helpful and the whole process was simple. Would highly recommend FVL. Thanks so much

Over promise and under deliver

Over promise and under deliver. Finally received my car over a month after promised. Advertised as in stock..it wasn’t..changed colour to receive one that was ready..it wasn’t. Sales bloke stopped communicating once paperwork signed.

Reply from First Vehicle Leasing

Hi Lucy

I'm really sorry you did not have a good experience with us. I can see you originally ordered a car with us in May with an estimated delivery of late September so the car was not advertised or sold to you as in stock. Unfortunately, this batch of cars was subject to a production delay with the manufacturer which meant they did not arrive in line with the original estimate. I can also see that you opted to change colour to a one that was coming sooner and it did come sooner (the original car has still not arrived with the dealer). Unfortunately, Paul, who you dealt with when you ordered the car, left FVL so that may be the reason for the lack of comms from him. I can see that other colleagues were in touch with you regularly about your order.

Again, I'm really sorry you an not happy with the way things were handled. I'd be happy to discuss further should you wish. Please email crm@fvl.co.uk

Thanks

Duncan

Highly Recommend

I dealt with Ross Longmuir from the start, and from the initial call I knew I was in safe hands. He always came back to me whenever I had any questions and went above and beyond to get me the car quickly. Couldn’t recommend Ross enough.

Nothing was too much trouble.

From the first enquiry to getting my car the service was great. I had quite a few questions through out the process and nothing was too much trouble. They always made me feel important. I now have my car and so pleased with everything. Specially the price.
Would definitely recommend and use again.

helpful, informative, supportive

We found FVL to be helpful and supportive throughout the process. They responded swiftly and in a well informed way to questions throughout.
The amount of paperwork we needed to provide was a bit overwhelming!
