My trust was lost in JL vans and never regained
A dealer's reputation isn't judged by how they respond when everything goes well—it's judged by how they deal with problems.
I raised concerns within days of purchase. As my complaint progressed, I discovered that important aspects of the vehicle had not been accurately represented before sale, including the advertised number of previous owners. An independent inspection later concluded that the issues it identified were already present at the point of sale. Concerns I considered serious were repeatedly described as "teething issues".
This entire experience could have been avoided had the vehicle—marketed as having passed an RAC 100-point check—had its issues identified and addressed before sale.
Although some repairs were paid for and rejection of the vehicle was offered, neither changed my overall experience or the reasons this review has been written.
Trust needs to be earned back. My trust and confidence in JL Vans were never restored.
If this is what JL Vans considers "teething issues", I would be very concerned about what they consider a serious problem.
Based on my experience, I would not buy from JL Vans again, nor would I recommend them to anyone else.
