What a great company

What a great company. Really helpful advice when you ring up for help confirming what you need. Quick delivery, and great sense of humour with the packaging email!! ( you have to order something just to read the dispatch email)!!
Thanks for the help. Delighted with the VW SFD unlock in the OBD11 kit, and as a result, folding mirrors quickly coded correctly. Very Happy. Thank You.

Professional outfit

Do not be put off by the website. This is a fantastic and professional company to do business with. Ordered a HEX GS-911 and it arrived less than 24 hours later. Excellent price and delivered securely wrapped. Kept up to date with the progress of my order. All correspondence was very customer friendly.
Only criticism, I would prefer Haribo Tangfastics next time please 😂

Great service

Great service. The website is a bit dated in appearance but the product details and service are there behind it. The complimentary Haribo are always appreciated.

Though, I do have a little bit of doubt with some of the detail provided in the despatch confirmation email.

"Our packing specialist from Sweden lit a scented candle and demanded silence from everyone in the office. A perfect ambiance is required to allow him to achieve packaging perfection."

As much as I'd like to believe this, the reasonableness of their prices do cast doubt on the affordability of this kind of excess and would appreciate proof of this level of service. That being said, the parcel was well packed and smelled nice so it may all be true.

Other than some doubts about the above I have been very happy with the service provided.

Excellent Service

First time user of their services and I was absolutely delighted with the service received. They notified me when my item was being sorted and also when posted and it actually arrived in less than 24hours of ordering. Well done to them, I will definitely use their services again if needs be.

5 stars customer service experience

5 stars customer service experience, item arrived very fast, very well packaged with two small packages of sweets included, the VCDS OBD scanner already tested on two different cars and the tool done fantastic jobs, from easy full scan to delicate coding and set a second hand BCM ( body control module) on Seat Ibiza sport 2009, I love the HEX-NET model with WIFI interface because very comfortable to use, no cable connections to my tablet I can easily enjoy my mug of coffee on desk and keep doing the jobs on car

Fantastic service and communication

Fantastic service as it was delivered to my door by the next day and the communication of the whole process was exemplary, far better than anything I have experienced before from other companies. They are a great company to deal with......

What a SUPERB company to do business with

What a GREAT company to do business with. I purchased a Hex EZCan for my new R1250RS. Not only was their price the best available on-line, they even included an extra splitter cable, hence a bargain compared to other suppliers.

However, it did not stop there. The follow emails confirming order, delivery and shipment were not bland and boring as most are. You have to see them to appreciate them and by god did they bring a bright cheer to dull day.

My order arrived the next working day. It was very well packaged and even included 2 little bags of Haribo sweets.

They say it's often the little things that make a huge difference. Gendan are exceptional, they definitely go that extra mile and I would have absolutely no hesitation in buying from them again.

If I was to sum up in one word: SUPERB....

AVOID GENDAN, AVOID GENDAN, AVOID GENDAN

After the first couple of enquiries the comms went dead. Read receipts show emails read but not answered. Last email enquiry was 11am. It's 6pm and nothing. Nothing yesterday, nothing today. I was ready to buy £225 kit off him but decided to go to a more responsive vendor. How this company gets its ratings is beyond belief! Glad I found out the easy way that this is a bad company. AVOID, AVOID,AVOID and just in case I may not have made myself clear AVOID!!!

Hi Joe,

I’m sorry to hear you’re not happy with your experience, but respectfully, the way you’ve expressed your version of events does not tally with the facts we have at hand:

- We received an email from you at 9:56am on Friday Feb 9th.
- We replied to that email within 45 minutes.
- You sent 2 replies to that in quick succession, which we received at 3:10pm and 3:19pm.
- We replied at 3:25pm – so within 6 minutes.
- On Wed Feb 12th at 10:01am, you emailed to say you’d not received a reply to your last email.
- We forwarded my previous reply to that email at 11:01am, requesting a read receipt on the email.
- 1 minute later we received “Your message was read on 2/12/2025 at 11:01 AM” from your email address.

We have replied to every email we have received from you within an hour, and had confirmation that you read our most recent reply.

We also offer telephone support if you would like more immediate answers, so that was another option available to you if your chosen medium wasn’t delivering what you needed.

To reiterate, we are sorry to hear you’re not happy with your experience, and disappointed that you felt that the best course of action was to post a negative review of a small business online, without first attempting to resolve any issue you may have had – based on your other reviews, this does appear to be your first port of call.

I was so impressed with my first order…

I was so impressed with my first order from Gendan that I immediately placed a second order for another product.
Such a great young company, communication was first class, pricing was great and delivery excellent - couldn't fault anything.l, even got packets of Haribo with my deliveries (enough of a reason to keep using them if you as me!).
Just shows what great young entrepreneurial companies are out there - forget the "big boys" and support companies like Gendan.
