Busseys Norfolk Reviews 

Our work vehicle was originally booked for toward the end of July for a service whilst I was on annual leave. Upon returning I found out that only the brake fluid was replaced. I called and it was sorted efficiently. when the engineer arrived today for the service they could not allocate the loan vehicle that was booked. This was resolved, however our engineers are only making money whilst on the road. This afternoon I received a voice message with the cost. Trying to get hold of someone first time is never a win, so unfortunately I was on another call. I ended up going down with the engineer to question the bill and it is a good job that I did, as the agreed removal for the annual inspection had not been removed, even though there was a note for it. This then had to be sorted. Now bearing in mind that this was a 36k service along with front brake change, I would expect a main dealer to wash the vehicle. No wash. I have since called and apparently service washes are not done anymore. I find this very disappointing considering how much we have paid, and we have kept purchasing commercial vehicles from Busseys Norwich. I am an ex service advisor, so I do understand the pressure, however I would expect more when you are charging a £190.00 per hour!

I purchased a car from Bussey’s showroom Norwich, trading in my 3 year old Fiesta, the whole experience was hard work from start to finish, the sales assistant was new and obviously not trained by the company as she had to keep asking other staff what to do, I blame Busseys for this, there was also lack of communication between staff as they phoned to ask how I was enjoying the new car two weeks before I got it.
I was also having my own registration transferred which I paid extra for however had I taken the advice of Bussey’s staff to collect the new car I would have been driving illegally before it was registered to be on the road.
The new car was supposed to come with 12 months tax and mot but that didn’t happen.
I could go on further.
Not the happy smooth experience I was expecting.

I was kept informed throughout the progress of my new car purchase by Peter. He was always helpful whenever I had a question and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Overall, my experience was excellent, and I am absolutely thrilled with my new car. Thank you, Peter, for your outstanding service!

I appreciate the friendly well informed approach by staff. I have successfully used the Ford lease car programme at Busseys since 2011. The process has always been easy and supportive. I appreciate the back up provided and feel that I am able to make requests easily for understanding any new vehicle. I would willingly recommend Busseys to others.

Deanna, is an asset to the Busseys Norwich team. On our first interaction she greeted us like a friend rather than a customer and we had a great experience with her. She helped and communicated throughout our purchasing experience and we are very grateful of the support she gave us when switching to an electric model.

As always chandler of busseys Norwich handled my new car order well and I'm very happy with my brand new car

Bought a recent resale Capri - great experience all round - Peter who managed the sale was excellent

I have already purchased a Puma from the Norwich Whiffler branch and had issues with that, which were resolved but shouldn't have happened in the first place. Now ready to upgrade to a new Puma and booked a test drive online. Why do you need a pushy sales person to ring me if I have booked a test drive? Waking me up after a night shift, for what? Sort your sales team out.

I enquired about a grenadier and John at Busseys couldn't have been more helpful, I had an extended time test driving the car and it absolutely confirmed how much I wanted one.

Although I ended up purchasing the car from another Ineos dealer (purely cost related), ultimately it was Jon at Busseys that sold me the Ineos with his customer service and attention to detail

Deanna was Very helpful and pleasant to deal with
Very professional
Many thanks

From start, to picking up the car was excellent. Helpful with whatever I asked. Customer service was excellent

The experience I encountered at Busseys was first class. I have always bought German cars in the past. I was looking for a cheap alternative weekend car so thought I would see what the BYD fuss was all about as I’ve heard a lot of good things about them, And from my first visit to enquire and test drive to actually buying my BYD Seal udmi was excellent Millie Green the sales executive was top class very polite and professional and nothing was too much trouble. And to be brutally honest the car was great but the service was better and that level of service convinced me to buy the car as I felt that if I ever needed help they will always be there for me. All of the sales team were great as well too as I went to ask Millie for advice but as she was busy with a customer, Her colleague Conner was extremely helpful also. Well done Busseys for developing a great team.. I can highly recommend your business.

Came in to look at a puma gen e spoke to Shannon about a test drive and she arranged it she was very helpful explaining all the controls when we got back we liked the puma however Shannon was busy with another customer so we Spoke to Charndler about leasing one he explained the different options buying was a better option for us with the government grant and free charger so we arranged finance he explained all finance details so we agreed to buy new car then he told us about delivery date June/July 26 .Good communication f

Disappointing After-Sales Experience

I purchased a Ford Puma from Busseys and, whilst the initial sales process was straightforward, the after-sales experience was unfortunately disappointing.

One aspect that stood out was being asked to leave a five-star review at the point of purchase, before I had even collected the vehicle and before I had the opportunity to verify that faults identified prior to collection had been rectified. In hindsight, this felt premature given the issues that subsequently arose.
Shortly after purchase, I experienced a number of issues with the vehicle, including persistent brake noise, FordPass connectivity problems, wireless charging faults, an engine management fault, steering-related issues and electrical faults. Two separate electrical faults ultimately resulted in the vehicle requiring two replacement batteries, and on one occasion the vehicle could not be collected as arranged because it would not start.

To Busseys’ credit, the vehicle was inspected on multiple occasions and staff at both Norwich and Fakenham were generally polite and professional. However, despite repeated visits, software updates, master resets, brake inspections and cleaning, several issues remained unresolved for a considerable period of time.

The most frustrating aspect was the communication. Emails requesting updates and clarification often went unanswered, including correspondence sent directly to management. I regularly found myself having to chase for information and updates regarding repairs and proposed resolutions. On several occasions I received conflicting information from different departments, which only added to the frustration.

The experience also left me feeling that the level of customer service changed significantly once the sale had been completed. During the purchasing process, communication was prompt and proactive, including requests for a five-star review before I had even taken ownership of the vehicle. However, once faults were reported, responses became slower, updates often had to be chased and several emails went unanswered. As a result, I was left with the impression that securing the sale was given greater priority than providing effective after-sales support when issues subsequently arose.

As the issues continued, I raised the possibility of rejecting the vehicle towards the end of March. At that point, after already experiencing multiple faults and repair attempts, my understanding from the discussions held was that if I wished to pursue rejection of the vehicle, I would need to take legal action and potentially seek resolution through the courts. Faced with that prospect, I felt I had little option but to continue engaging with the repair process and await further investigations. Given the ongoing faults, repeated visits to the dealership and the time involved, this added considerably to the frustration and stress of what had already become a lengthy and difficult experience.

After several months of discussions, Busseys ultimately agreed, “as a gesture of goodwill” to buy the vehicle back. Whilst I appreciated this outcome, the process leading up to it was unnecessarily drawn out and frustrating. I was advised that the buy-back refund would be processed within 3–5 working days; however, it ultimately took longer than that to be completed. During this period, further attempts to obtain updates from site management went unanswered.

I appreciate that vehicle faults can occur and that not every issue can be diagnosed immediately. My disappointment stems from the faults themselves but more from the handling of the matter, the delays in communication, the lack of ownership of issues raised and the inconsistent follow-through.

Whilst I am pleased that a resolution was eventually reached, the overall after-sales experience fell significantly below the standard I expected from a main Ford dealer.

Had a fantastic experience with Busseys and Jon who was extremely helpful and patient with me he managed to find me the best car for me , it’s absolutely fantastic I’m chuffed to bits and would definitely recommend anyone who needs a car to go to see the team at attleborough.

Jon @ Busseys was great. I love my new Grenadier, I only wish I could have got my hands on it sooner. All in all a positive experience.

Busseys is such a well respected brand in Norfolk, I knew I only wanted to go there for my brand new Ford Puma GenE. The sales executive, Peter Feltham, couldn't have been more helpful. He has been informative, answered so many questions for me (first time e-car buyer), kept track of the progress for me during a long run in, kept in close touch during the last few days of juggling things. He gave a comprehensive briefing on handover so that I felt confident driving away, and gave helpful advice on charging. Couldn't be more pleased. Excellent customer service.

I cannot fault the staff for their professionalism and their attitude.They made everything so easy to understand and made sure
that I understood all the paperwork. I would not hesitate to recommend Busseys to anyone.

John was really helpful and patient when I purchased my car from Busseys.

He was very patient when I came back with my father for a second test drive.

Would highly recommend
