Couldn’t have asked for a better Vertu experience

Couldn’t have asked for a better Vertu representative, Jack Essery was so helpful and had really good knowledge of what was on the forecourt that would suit our needs. Jack had a good knowledge of specification on all models of cars he suggested to look at. He gave my husband and I a real personal touch, we never felt that any question was too much trouble. Jack really is an asset to Vertu sales department, we never felt there was an hard sell. Great job Jack, hopefully you are still there when we buy another car in the coming months.

Our salesman was Jack Essary. He listened to what we wanted/needed in a vehicle, gave good advice and tips. Absolutely no pressure to buy or rush into a decision. Very knowledgeable about the cars on the forecourt. Could not have been a better experience.

First finance buyers

Christopher made it super simple for us as first time finance buyers. He explained everything and made sure we understood it. He made us feel welcome and kept us updated ASAP with anything. He made the whole process a lot easier for us as the customers who were completely new to finance.
We are loving the car upgrade.

Systemic communication failures regarding unresolved battery issues

I am writing this to log a severe and documented breakdown in customer care across the regional network. My vehicle suffered recurring battery charging issues, an inherent manufacturer defect that was initially logged nearly a year ago.This week, after executive intervention authorized a fully covered repair, the local workshop floor sat on the vehicle due to internal funding arguments. On Monday afternoon, I was verbally informed that a replacement battery was on-site and allocated to my vehicle, including a specific price quote. Despite this, the dealership later claimed the part had to be reordered, leaving the vehicle at a standstill for days.Furthermore, the service desk did not contact me to state the vehicle was ready until very late in the afternoon, completely ignoring a formal email request for delivery logistics sent well in advance that same day. Expecting a consumer to drop immediate commitments to collect a vehicle right before closing time under peak traffic conditions is logistically unfeasible.This matter represents a flagrant breach of the statutory standard under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to execute remedies without causing significant inconvenience. A formal dispute has been logged under an active Motor Ombudsman Case. Given the cyclical nature of this fault over the last year, I have absolutely no confidence that this quick patch-up has fixed the actual underlying issue, and only time will tell if the vehicle is truly safe and reliable.

None pushy staff

The staff were excellent, very knowledgeable about each car i was interested in and provided none pushy advise on each model. The sale person who dealt with my sale Chris at Cheltenham was excellent: polite, attentive and was good enough to be able to turn around the sale within 24 hours.

James kept in touch with me all the time, giving me updates on when I could view the vehicle and test drive it, sent a great video as soon as he received the car, so that I could view it at my own leisure, this is the 4th car I've bought from Ford over the years, and I've never been disappointed.

Do not touch them with a barge pole!

Do not touch them with a barge pole!

Denying causing potentially lethal damage to our car saying it’s ‘impact damage’ (there must be a magician throwing multiple stones in the opposite direction at just the right angle to miss everything else and hit the back of the radiator causing two holes, who knew?).
Dealer principle is condescending.
Their attitude is disgusting, they are arrogant, talk down to you and clearly their ‘expert technicians’ don’t care about the work they’re doing on people’s cars.
Their attention to detail is such that they didn’t even put the wheel arches back on properly after actually repairing the vehicle (after having it for a month)
DO NOT TRUST THEM!
Absolute cowboys.

They will take no responsibility and they will kill somebody one day because of their negligence.
Not sure what has happened to Ford over the last few years but they have no business considering themselves reputable.
