An experience…. of sorts

My experience is one of receiving a number of emails at random times with various pieces of information mostly dominated by legal terms, followed by more emails asking me about my experience. This isn’t a personal, organised and easy-to-follow experience, but rather one that’s automated, standardised and rather complicated.

I bought a 2 year service plan with the proviso that if I sold the car before the end of the plan there would be a refund. So when I ring up to cancel the plan 1 year and 5 months in I'm told no refunds. It took some angry words to get the matter taken up the chain where I got the refund as a "good will juster" I will think very carefully before purchasing another.

Overall the process has been positive

Overall the process has been well supported. I was scratching my head initially when I visited insisting i wanted to buy a van quickly, and was met with a bit of indifference. But Oscar was very helpful once we engaged the process. I’ve had to take a winding pole back and he was quick to resolve

Very helpful and professional

Steve at Cookes, fakenham was really helpful and informative. He went out of his way to find us the most suitable car. Seamless experience and we had the car ready to drive away super quickly. He was really helpful with the finance options too.

I had a complaint that was being handled by Customer Resolutions Executive, and I have never experienced such unprofessional customer service. I was constantly spoken over during phone calls and the call was even ended while I was trying to explain my concerns.

I also sent an email asking if I could speak to someone else, but this was completely ignored. I explained how much stress this whole complaint had caused me, but there seemed to be no care or understanding shown at all.

For such a large company, the way complaints are handled is extremely disappointing. The lack of communication, empathy, and professionalism has left me very unhappy with the experience.

Straight forward application

Straight forward application. Costs clearly stated, payment schedule and amount. Paperwork not too overwhelming and the sales team were very patient in describing anything and answering any questions.

Unacceptable complaint handling

The worst service i have ever experienced. I have raised a complaint on the 27th January and i am still awaiting a response.

I have been made aware my case has finally been assigned to a case manager however this information has only been provided by Audi Customer Services 2 weeks ago and i have failed to have any communication from this person so far to date.

I chose this brand specifically being a premium luxury brand providing and expecting a high level of service alongside a non faulting car. Well over the official time expectations of the complaint and i continue to have to pay for a car that is faulty. Ridiculous service and has put me off buying any brand of car under VWFS.
