Booking system terrible, repair center were great
The actual center doing the repair were great and very professional and provided a quality service and quick turnaround for my replacement. The booking and office was a shambles, I booked online via my insurance app, first my booking was in the wrong reg plate which not sure how that happened my phone autocorrects my number plate and it was linked through my insurance. Trying to get it changed took a couple of tries for them to get right reg and customer name but still couldn't find my booking on the portal. Eventually got it sorted but hadn't seen that the confirmation email stated the model of car was a transit van and not a Kuga so had to wait another 2 weeks before it could get done. Even in person the repair guy struggled to find my vehicle so the system they use seemed to be clunky even though on the booking I had confirmed the vehicle make, model and reg.

Very Disappointing!
When I turned up at 8:30 I was told they had ordered the windscreen for a 2012 car and not a 2015 car so they had to order the correct one in and it would not be done until the afternoon
I was called at 16:15 to tell me the car would be ready at 17:15 and they close at 17:30. With no other means of transport as I had made arrangements for the morning when it should have been ready I had to walk the 3 miles in the hour to make sure I was there on time
All of this was without any apology for their mistake or the inconvenience
If I had a choice I certainly wouldn’t use you again or recommend you to anyone

We sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience and frustration caused by the incorrect windscreen order and the resulting delays. We regret that you had to walk to collect your car and that no apology was offered at the time. We are reviewing this incident to prevent similar mistakes and improve our service.
Very disappointed with the Customer…
Very disappointed with the Customer Service. Have had to file a complaint due to an issue with the Basildon Branch and after speaking with a Lady Called Veronica in customer relations who assured me a complaint had been opened and that I would receive a letter confirming this so I could forward to the police and my insurer i am yet to receive anything and its been over a week now. I called yesterday and asked for an update on where the letter is and she hasnt called me back or even emailed me an update as I asked. I left a message with a lady called Tionie and she said she’d messaged Veronica I have now been over 24 hrs without any response from me chasing. Very poor service considering the gravity of my complaint.
