So nearly good

On a recent recall visit I decided to have the oil service completed which they did in good time and without any issues. Was given a loan car which was nice and Tanya was very efficient with updates and info during the visit and overall I’m pleased with the customer experience. Two things however, my service indicator has not been reset so I’m still showing and inspection on the computer and the vehicle wasn’t washed which I was lead to believe was part of the visit. Nearly five stars but…

Had a really great experience at Barretts Landrover and Jaguar in Canterbury.

Had a really great experience at Barrett’s Canterbury on Friday. I had booked to have a new key cloned and was made to feel very welcome. I opted to wait and was plied with coffees and some delicious cake! My car was returned to me having been given a very thorough clean. I would definitely return for future needs and would highly commend all the members of staff for their friendly and helpful attitudes to customers.

Always such friendly service and love that they offer a return bus in to Canterbury town centre whilst you wait for the car to be serviced. Managed to get my car in earlier than planned and i can’t thank them enough.

MINI's service and MOT in one day

I dropped off my MINI for its service and MOT first thing in the morning and the video healthcheck was sent to me late morning so that I could authorise the necessary tyre changes in time for the MOT to be completed that day. It was a big service and all done with the MOT in one day. A smooth and efficient process.

Recieved a letter about a manufacturer recall on my Evouque.
Barretts Jaguar & Landrover Canterbury are my nearest dealership and had used previously.
From Dropping off to collection Chloe my service representative was fabulous ! Great communication on how work was progressing & when Chloe knew my car would not be back when expected went above and beyond to organise a courtesy car so I could attend a family funeral.
Thank you Barretts and especially Chloe for understanding our panic.
