Excellent service

I was initially unsure about finding the right car, but Stephen at MG Ancaster made the process feel straightforward and manageable. He took the time to answer all my questions without rushing me, which helped me feel confident in my decision. The test drive really put me at ease, and everything from choosing the car to completing the paperwork went smoothly. His patient and kind approach made a potentially overwhelming process much easier.

I felt well looked after during my experience at the dealership. Abigail Pinder-Morris maintained a professional approach throughout and had a welcoming manner, which made the process more comfortable. Everything was handled efficiently, and I appreciated how friendly everyone was while still being thorough.

Their attention to detail helped ensure that nothing was overlooked, and their professionalism stood out in every interaction. It left me feeling confident about the choices I made.

The welcoming atmosphere really made a difference during what can sometimes feel like an overwhelming process.

Such a terrible service at both Ancaster…

Such a terrible service at both Ancaster Chislehurst and Croydon. Try another dealership for your servicing.

I arrived at Chislehurst at 8.15 to find the courtesy I had ordered car was not available although it had been booked. Luckily the receptionist remembered me coming in and booking. The car was booked in for 'noises coming from the front wheel(s).' At the same time I booked in the 40000 mile service, although it was not due until September. I drove car with Tim, one of your engineers, who agreed there was a noise that needed investigation. Leanne (one of the really great receptionists who take the brunt of complaints) finally managed to get me a car at around 9.45 and told me to come bach at 4 pm, on that day, when my 'car would be ready'. Previously to this the car was in Ancaster The Croydon Workshop for a problem with the EGR valve and front parking sensors...23 June for 3 days) New EGR valve and front parking sensors were fitted. The Day following the collection os the repaired car.after a grinding noise comomt from the front wheels began to appear. I returned to Croydon who then couldn’t book an inspection until mid September, 2 months later… pathetic.! They said 'try Chislehurst' .

Now back to Chislehurst story of complete and utter failure. I returned to the Chislehurst Service at 4.45 expecting my car to be ready. No such luck. It was 6 pm when the car was announced 'finished' and returned to me WITHOUT THE FRONT WHEEL NOISE INVESTIGATED. Plus the car had not been cleaned. To say this was an unprofessional rushed job is an understatement. The car which was still making an awful noise was returned to me with a message saying to 'book it in for further investigation.'...That's what it was originally booked in for with the service oas n extra. The service department didn’t look at the problem..they were just interested in the paid job which incidentally was in the region of £660 ...basically for an oil change. The next day, I used the to travel with my grandchildren to Hever Castle on Saturday 18th July. The car was now making so much noise I has to find an emergency garage. THEY FOUND BOTH FRONT WHEELS HAD THE BOLTS ONLY FINGER TIGHT OR UNWOUND. Tightening has cured the problem noise.

This was probably following the debacle they call Service at Ancaster Croydon who probably heglected to tighten the wheels following working on the front bumper parking sensors...HOWEVER. A WHEELS AND BRAKES SAFTEY CHECK ARE PART OF THE MAIN SERVICE...Definitely not carried out. I’m not sure if a wheel/tyre rotation are part of a full service these days but this did not take place. BOTH CROYDON AND CHISLEHURST ARE AT SERIOUS FAULT AND COULD HAVE LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE KILLED OR INJURED 5 PEOPLE. At this level of poor service what else have they neglected carring out the service...I fully intend to take this matter further to director level and probably even further with an official complaint to DVSA and The Motor Ombudsman. They are an official MOT registered station.

I initially thought my MOT would be straightforward, but it turned into a more complex issue that stretched over a few weeks and multiple visits. Despite this, Karun Sharma managed everything in a professional and approachable way. He kept me updated throughout, maintained a welcoming attitude, and followed up whenever necessary. His good humour helped make the situation less stressful.

In the end, everything was sorted properly.
