Super speedy service

Wayne Green - body shop manager at Leicester branch! Can’t rate the ease of getting my car fixed after a road traffic accident highly enough. It was super swift, straightforward, hassle free, had a courtesy car dropped off and my car taken away very quick turnaround. Very happy customer!

Suzuki Vitara

Bought a car, via the internet last week…. A Suzuki Vitara( Kr19hcg)
Was told car had full history, no it didnt!! 1 stamp missing in book!
Had to replace front tyre as over 7 years old and was not fit for purpose. (Two different trye brands on same axel as well ) not recommended!!
After driving the car 212 miles home I realized upon inspection there wasn’t even a tyre repair kit in the car!!
So much for their safety checks and inspection. Absolute lairs
Car was serviced, two dust caps left off, screen washer cap is missing nowhere to be seen.
Lots of interior scratches and stone chips that were not disclosed when purchasing,
So far I’ve bought a new tyre, dust caps and a water filler cap! Car was supposed up together and have checks to avoid these petty things!
So £170 out of pocket, no full service history (no reduction in price to cover this) and no response to emails or text.
Not happy
Stay clear.
Avoid

Excellent service from start to finish.
Nathan Moffett was my representative and he was really helpful and very knowledgeable. He gave me freedom to look around the showroom and time to choose a motor.
All of the information was clear & understandable. I was kept informed of the process of the delivery or my new car & treated with respect.
Nathan also makes a lovely cup of tea.
