I was recently shopping around for a new car and spoke to several main dealers about cars they were selling which I had on my shortlist. From the first contact I had with Hedin Automotive I knew they... See more

I have some serious safety concerns with my vehicle. Steven at the Woolwich branch was disrespectful, unhelpful, dismissive and a complete time waster. I believe that he deleted data from their system... See more

Am unable to leave a review on a google…

Am unable to leave a review on a google for some reason. Car needed to be taken in for recall work to be done, wasn’t able to be provided a courtesy car for up to a month after it was booked even though I explained that I can’t be left without a car during a pandemic, had to take time off work even though the recall was no fault of mine. When I collected the car it was covered in white cream and no one had bothered to clean it off.

I had a drive train error on my BMW X6…

I had a drive train error on my BMW X6 on a 2017 model. My car is a 2017 model and had recently run out of the dealership warranty. I told the car for the full service and then had to pay 200.00 for a diagnostic. They told me that they found that the turbo actuators have failed . I was a little upset as I have only done just over 25k from new.stephen James wnet back to BMW and as a good will gesture the part was paid for but I had to pay for the labour costs which was just over 200.00. The car was repaired and I collected the car. On the way home the fault popped up again. I contacted Stephen James and spoke to Dean who could not appologise enough. They picked the car up from my house and carried out another diagnostic. Again the fault showed the turbo acuaters which have just been replaced . Again the could not appologise enough and kept the car a few days and found out that the turbos on the vehicle were defective.Thr both turbos were replaced.stephen James have refunded me the original diagnostic cost and the cost of the labour and have replaced both turbos free of charge.
I can't thank you enough for your help in this matter and can't praise Dean enough for his help in this.
Stephen James thank you again

Beyond disappointed

Beyond disappointed. How can BMW not be able to fix a small problem that my local garage can? A simple squeaking noise when steering. I was told twice by BMW Stephen James that they cant fault the noise! What does that mean? I want you to get rid of the noise not tell me that you cant find any fault with the noise. This is the second 2 series BMW i have owned with the same issue. I have had 5 BMW in 14 years of driving. I have been an unofficial brand ambassador for BMW however Stephen James have tried their best to ruin this experience. Never again.

Awful customer service and after sale care

Signed a PCP G20 3 series in 2019 at Stephen James Enfield. Within a year of ownership I had to send the car in for two repairs. 1st one being headlamp water condensation and HUD failure; 2nd time for a BMW track rod safety recall. Stephen James Enfield was unhelpful and reluctant to offer any goodwill gesture as in arranging the car to be collected and dropped off. Their price for the PCP is also high compare with other dealership on the BMW website.
I'd advice anyone to use the BMW official website to check for better price elsewhere and check for reviews of the actual dealership carefully before making any purchases.

Dear Luke

I am sorry that you felt we did not offer you a good service on this occasion. As explained to you, we could not offer collection and delivery due to Covid restrictions. I hope that you understand these unusual circumstances.

Alloy Repairs - Enfield

I took my car to Stephen James Enfield to have my Alloys refurbished.

The staff were very professional and helpful.

The Alloys were refurbished to a very high standard and I was kept informed of their progress.

I would highly recommend them.
