Perfect experience!

From start to finish, this was a perfect experience. Lottie was amazing throughout, keeping in touch and keeping me updated, without pestering me. The videos were a nice touch! She was friendly, professional and great at her job.
The car was beautifully prepared, and the trade in experience couldn’t have been better. Thanks very much!!

Bought A3 from Audi Teeside

Bought A3 from Audi Teeside. Start Stop didn’t work from day 1. Advised by other garages would be the battery as no fault codes. Audi Teeside charged battery overnight and tested. Obviously battery was ok. Start stop still doesn’t work. Audi Teeside kept on trying to sell me a new Battery and fit it for free?? Why if the Battery you tested is ok?? I would like the Start Stop to work as advertised in the vehicle description. Started Complaints Procedure, still waiting to hear back but not very hopeful. Very disappointed

I recently bought a used Hyundai Tucson…

I recently bought a used Hyundai Tucson from Lookers Volkswagen Guildford. Cameron, the sales advisor, was helpful and pleasant to deal with. He also arranged for the car to be polished before the GX2 graphene treatment, which I appreciated.

However, I would still advise anyone collecting a used car to inspect it very carefully themselves, even if you are told it has gone through a 142-point check.

After collection, I noticed a windscreen chip that was already visible in the dealer’s own advert photos, along with multiple scratches around the car. I was later contacted by the Sales Manager, who explained that although they carry out the 142 checks, items they consider wear and tear, or anything that would still pass an MOT, may not be repaired or specifically highlighted before handover.

I also wasn’t given a copy of the completed 142-point inspection report.

More concerningly, the service department had overfilled the engine oil. A local mechanic later removed almost 700 ml of excess oil.

The car itself is good and Cameron was helpful, but the preparation and quality-control side at Lookers Volkswagen Guildford could have been better. My advice is to check the bodywork, glass, fluid levels and paperwork carefully at collection, and ask to see the actual inspection checklist before driving away.

Yet another attempt to cancel planned paid for Service

Yet again I spotted a chance to have my car serviced at a time suitable to me,
As my wife is disabled our vehicle is required Mon to Fri for various appointments for hospital visits, looking at the diary for booking a service I siezed the chance to have done on a Saturday morning.
Within 10 minutes of me booking the service, I was contacted by Lookers to tell me it wasn't possible.
As this was yet another cancellation by them I was a absolutely furious that they were cancelling again.
I pointed out that it was booked and I would be turning up that day. I also pointed my wife was disabled and would not stand for another cancellation.
I paid for a service plan I want the vehicle serviced at a time of my choosing that was available through their booking system.

I like SEAT but the aftercare is shocking sad to say

I cannot recommend Glen highly enough

I cannot recommend Glen highly enough! From start to finish, the service was absolutely fantastic. Glen was incredibly fast, efficient and reliable, exactly what you want when you need something done properly. Communication was brilliant throughout and everything was handled with real professionalism and care. It is rare to find someone who delivers such a high standard of work so consistently. I will definitely be using Glen again and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Five stars without a doubt.

Special experience

On arrival met with really helpful professional sales rep Katie. I was with my son and the car was his first car for his 17th birthday. Katie provided excellent advice and made the purchase straight forward. As it was for his 17th birtday she was able to add over £1000 extras to the package. She also ensured that we could pick the car up on his actual birthday when again he was made to feel special.

My customer experience with Lookers Darlington and especially Sophie was excellent.

Lovely purchasing process

Lovely salesmen, have dealt with several during my purchasing journey. They were accommodating and friendly. Explained all parts of the process thoroughly and I never felt pressured or pushed. Originally went in for a new car, fell in love with the demonstrator & drove away with it in less than a week, including settling the PCP finance on my part exchange vehicle from another manufacturer without any hassle. The showroom was clean, the greeting staff helpful & the brews aren't terrible either, definitely recommend!

Fantastic service at Toyota

Fantastic service at Toyota Newtownabbey from start to finish. Lauren was knowledgeable, approachable, and made our first move to Toyota feel easy. She recommended the CHR+ based on what we needed and it’s the perfect car for us.

No question was ever too small, even after purchase. We can’t recommend this branch enough — great cars & outstanding service. Thank you, Lauren!
