Stay clear

Stay clear, brought a van with 32k miles and have had issues from day one!
Oh but it’s used, so that means it can have engine issues at 34k miles! The warranty isn’t worth the time of day! 1k miles warranty it’s a van, it’s not for a trip to the supermarket once a week!!

You have be warned!

Great Customer service from Jake

Customer service was super here, we visited several times and got a friendly welcome and all the questions we had were answered. True to their word, there was no pressure to buy there and then. Did us good deal and and very happy with our new van. Special recognition and thanks to Jake who made the whole experience great.

Very good experience buying van

We bought a VW California from Birmingham Van Centre. Very good choice of vehicles to choose from. Very helpful staff who made the purchase a pleasure, not pushy at all. We dealt with Darren who was excellent, very knowledgeable about the vehicle. He arranged for us to store the vehicle onsite while our driveway was widened and was very accommodating when our work overran by a few weeks.
I would have no hesitation buying from Birmingham Van Centre again.

Customer Service Nightmare

This is obviously a fleet seller on the whole so I appreciate dealing with a single vehicle purchase maybe a little outside the company's skill set.
However, we purchases a Caddy van from this company on late October and paid for the vehicle cash up front so an easy sell for them so no finance, no trade in. Initial documents were sent out in the wrong name when we asked for them to be changed were told it didn't really matter. No log book was supplied for the vehicle until we had to badger them to contact the DVLA and have it sent (still waiting). And now because we have just recieved the logbook we have now also got a £230 fine for an untaxed vehicle as we never recieved a notice for tax because ownership was not transferred for 4+ months. This company illegally delivered the vehicle to us as the vehicle was driven to us untaxed.
At one stage during the purchase process I could not get answers and only after asking to speak to the manager did we get progress.
The delivery process was also extremely haphazard and we could not get actual times or contacts regarding the delivery and the agent we worked with was not at all proactive in following up so we had peace of mind as to where our vehicle was.
Since having the vehicle I have contacted 'our' agent regarding a couple of questions and the responses have been of little assistance.
On the whole a customer service nightmare. Luckily there is a silver lining; the vehicle has been brilliant so far.

The sad thing is we are probably in the market for another VW van later this year...but we know where we won't be going.

Do not buy a van from Birmingham Can Centre…

Bought a van from Birmingham Can Centre last November 2022. Had several issues with it including EDF valve warnings. Took it to a Vauxhall dealer and they diagnosed the following: 2 x Nox sensors need replacing, 2 of the 4 glow plugs need replacing, They also did a Heakth check and found that the rear brake disks were dangerously corroded. When I spoke to Birmingham Van Centre they claimed it was due to the short journeys my driver was making (in fact we do not do short journeys). Claimed they had replaced the brakes as part of the MOT prior to sale but when asked for proof they could not produce any. Very unhelpful and unsympathetic. Has cost me nearly £900 so far with more work to come. Avoid them.

Reply from Birmingham Van Centre

Hi David , we are really sorry to hear of your 'experience' with the van you purchased in November 2022 and then contacted us about in February 2023.
It certainly falls short of the experience that over 7,000 happy customers have had from us.
As you know, the vehicle was supplied with a new and totally independent MOT test (even though one was not due), at which time front and rear brakes were replaced and with a comprehensive mechanical warranty supplied free of charge too.
We have spoken with the warranty provider and they say you have not tried to make a claim for the mechanical items you have listed, which seems unusual and we're not sure why, is this something we could help you with?
Also, when you spoke with us in February regarding the 'brakes' and having covered circa 5000 miles since purchase months earlier, we happily confirmed the work had been done, a copy invoice was easily available and the independent MOT centre who had carried out the work would be more than happy for you to take your vehicle to them for re-inspection and verification free of charge.
We didn't hear from you again, so were were really surprised and a little bit sad to read your review which seems a little out of context with the scenario.
Please send us copy invoices of the work you have had done and we'll look at it straightaway for you - no problem at all.
We stand by the vans and service we provide and are always happy to help in all genuine cases and we look forward to helping you too.
Best wishes, Team BVC.

10/10

Purchased my Vauxhall Vivaro from BVC on a recommendation from someone who has also purchased 2 previous vans from them. Dan dealt with the purchase and was always on hand for any questions I had. All of them are top lads, very knowledgeable and always go the extra mile to make sure your purchase goes smooth. Would definitely use then again in the future.

Don't go anywhere else. Spot on

Don't go anywhere else, I went to 4 other local 'ish places and a lot of vans I saw were poor.
Most vans at Birmingham van centre are all low mileage and 1 owner. I picked up an absolute mint 18 plate transit xlwb for a super price. Dale the salesman was on the ball answering all my questions and got the van looking like new. He is a credit to the company and also the friendly girl who did me a coffee was a bit fit. Well deffo use these guys again, Matt x
