Fabulous service.

Bought a car from here last week and drove it away the following day. Absolutely love it and no problems ( so far). I was served by the lovely Tom who helped me pick my car with no pressure and made me feel completely comfortable. He even let me bring my dog in, highly recommended this garage. Thanks Tom.

Bought a car

I came in with my family to look at some cars. Stephen met us and showed us some he thought might be good.

We liked one specific one so we went for that.

He was very helpful.

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic help from Tom Kenney in helping us find exactly what we needed and within our budget. Tom went above and beyond with his service. It seemed like nothing was too much hassle and everything done with a smile. We’ll be back in the future and will recommend you to all of our friends and family.

Avoid Henson Motors worst after-sales…

Avoid Henson Motors worst after-sales support I’ve ever experienced.

I purchased a 2019 Volvo XC90 at 97008 on the clock from them july 2024, and from the moment issues started, the experience has been a nightmare. Their after-sales representative (Anna) ignored my emails and calls for weeks at a time. Every question I had about repairs or warranty cover was avoided, and I had to chase them repeatedly just to get basic communication.

At about 97,000 miles I had to replace both rear shock absorbers and both front lower arms. RAC Warranty only covers aftermarket parts, but Volvo only sells OEM parts for these components. I asked Henson Motors how RAC would estimate this, and they completely ignored me. I ended up paying for everything myself.

Later on, the car developed a major power issue. I took it to a Volvo dealer and specialist at my own expense, and it was diagnosed with an ERAD motor fault a very expensive hybrid component. When I opened a warranty claim, RAC insisted on an oil sample, yet every RAC-approved garage refused to perform the test, saying only Volvo or a specialist could do it. Instead of helping, RAC told me to tow the vehicle at MY expense just so they could get the sample. Completely unacceptable.

My vehicle has now been sitting for almost 3 months because neither Henson Motors nor RAC will take responsibility or provide proper support.

I have now opened a case with ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) for independent mediation, and I will be taking this even further because of how badly this whole situation has been handled.

Extremely disappointed. I would never recommend Henson Motors or the RAC warranty they sell.

Hello,
We have investigated this internally to ensure that we have provided you with the best possible outcome. We can see that you purchased the vehicle in 2024, there was an issue developed in 2025 and we assisted yourself with the RAC warranty, which was accepted, we understand you yourself wanted to have OEM parts fitted which was outside of your warranty terms. We have then not had any contact from yourself, therefore we are not aware of any issues, we would of course have assisted wherever we possibly could. Please do not hesitate to get in contact with ourselves if there is anything at all we can help with.
Thank you.
