Despite a rocky start
Despite a rocky start, the Sales Manager and sales staff turned a difficult situation into nothing less than a perfect outcome with a speedy resolution. They were honest and open, did not attempt to hide any facts and were superb in both their attitude, friendliness and professionalism. The whole team were excellent in their communication with us. Their service was nothing less than impressive.

Poor customer service despite what previous reviews say.
Slow response times from sales staff.
Vertu Ford Durham staff are only interested in getting as much money as possible from potential buyers.
Not interested in any negotiations.
I will spend my money elsewhere.

Exceptional Customer Service Lewis Strong
Lewis Strong provided excellent customer service. He made buying a car a pleasant and hassle free experience. He was attentive to detail and very responsive if I ever had a question or required advice either by way of email or phone call. We feel as though we were looked after and ultimately purchased a car we are delighted with.

Turned away despite booking in advance
Had a bad experience at my local
Ford dealer ; despite many attempts to book an urgent recall ; I had been let down locally. So I thought I’d get it done while working away and called Ventu Durham several weeks in advance. Explained about the recall and I’d been messed about at local dealer. No problem , it won’t happen here.
Got the chase up text the night before and dropped it in , once again stripped van out and cancelled work for 2 days.
Arrived.
Errrrr. No. It hasn’t been booked in so can’t be done.
Again.
For the 3rd time.
What is going on a Ford Dealers that they keep sending me urgent recall letters. Keep promising to fix something , book it. Then it can’t be done.
Another day of work lost being messed about.
Someone isn’t telling the truth here - I was assured I was speaking to the branch on the phone when I booked it. I was assured there were no loan cars available , all booked out and the chap even went to check with manager.
So I brought my bike 250 miles in the van to be able to get back to where I’m working.
I have no idea how to get this recall done. It shouldn’t be this difficult. How many more dealerships do I have to visit and be turned away from.

Good afternoon. We are sorry for your experience, the recall your vehicle was booked in for is a 3 day repair and this was not picked up by our booking team at point of booking and we apologise for this. Should you be back up in the area from London we would be more than happy to look after this for you.

Well done Vertu ford excellent customer service
All staff were friendly polite and ensured you were being looked after, offering drinks whilst waiting. Jessica my sales woman went above and beyond especially given it was her first week at the branch getting the answers I needed before agreeing to purchase my car. Adam was also very helpful again going out of his way alongside Jess to ensure everything was in place on time for me collecting my new car

First impressions can be wrong …
My first interaction with the company was not great however as soon as it was brought to their attention this was very swiftly rectified and I cannot fault their service at all. Extremely helpful, attentive, not pushy at all, knowledgable and great communication during and post sale would highly recommend Aqib his service is fantastic a credit to the company

Vertu Ford Durham was excellent
Vertu Ford Durham was excellent. We have previously used another Vertu branch and weren’t impressed by the customer service so went back to Vertu Ford Durham where we had received great service. This time proved this was no exception. We were assisted by Aqib who was fantastic. Thorough, knew his stuff and made the process straightforward. He was super helpful and very responsive to queries. We felt that he listened to what we were looking for in a car and actually made recommendations based on that. We also dealt with Adam and he was very helpful too. When there were some issues with the finance documentation (not their fault but due to a glitch with the electronic system) this was resolved quickly. When we arrived to collect the new car we felt we were treated like valued customers. Aqib was patient and took the time to show us the main features, as some things had changed between the old model we had and the new one we were purchasing. All in all a great experience. Our local Vertu branch is 10 minutes from where we live but we have done a 500+ miles round trip to go to the Durham branch. That probably indicates the good experience we have had there on two occasions!
