Shelly Motors Reviews 76

Finally The motor ombudsman has confirmed that Shelly motors have carried out the repair of my window screen ,to the best of their ability. If the following is "the best of their ability " then please do yourself a massive favour and DO NOT BUY from this KIa dealership. WE are just about to purchase 2no Kia Ceeds and will not even consider Shelly Mottors as it took them 2.5 months to replace my window screen. Failed to communicate and requested that I put the replacement on my own insurance. The damage occured prior to me being the legal owner??
Stear clear of this dealership unless you like poor customer service and agravation.

Definitely won’t be using this company , the reviews are grim

They take your money happily … but they don’t provide you with the extras you pay for. DiamondBrite hasn’t been applied, still not received confirmation they are owners of my part ex but quick to receive confirmation I own the new vehicle! Since having the car we have found nothing but faults & no one responds to get it sorted. The aftercare is shocking!!!

Appalling service car went in 3 times for repair and came back with the same problem ,left 4 messages for the service manager to call me ,no return calls .
Took car to another garage who identified the problem immediately
I would never go back to Shelly motors nor would I recommend them to anyone I am about to buy 2 new Kia cars but will go elsewhere

My initial experience of purchasing the car from Shelly was pretty good. I'm still not convinced however that they had serviced the car before I collected it because I had to raise this issue before the handbook came back miraculously and instantaneously stamped. Since then though the service has been pretty awful. I arranged for my car to go into the service department in response to a safety recall. When I turned up at the agreed (and email confirmed) time and date for the work to be completed I was told that they hadn't yet ordered the part. They said that somebody had tried to call me to stop me making an unnecessary journey but its easy to disprove that nowadays on a mobile phone. They hadn't. A couple of weeks ago my front passenger door handle just fell apart in my hands. I contacted Shelly who asked me to send photo's of the handle which I did from every angle. I then got a phone call to arrange for a new handle to be fitted. I was told that the parts would be in on the 1st October and that it would take a few days for it to be painted off site. So a date of the 5th of October was agreed. I pitched up on the 5th October to be told that they would need further parts in addition to the cap - and then it would have to be painted. The cap (the only part they may have ordered) falling off was only a small part of the problem as the photo's clearly showed so again I've had to re-book for the 22nd of October. In the mean time nobody can use the front passenger seat. Nobody apologised. There seems to be a complete shambolic disconnect between the admin team and the service department. I have absolutely no faith that the work will be completed when I return on the 22nd.

Just completed the purchase of a nearly new Kia Stonic. Was very impressed by the salesperson I dealt with (Chris) and would definitely look to use Shelly Motors in the future.

Do not buy a car from here awful company and even worse customer care!
Bought my car in November errors started in March it went back to them twice on the second occasion they had it for 29 days then gave it back to me a week later same errors appeared! 3 times they have given me back a faulty car for me and my children to drive around in!
They don’t respond to calls or emails even when it’s a complaint. Don’t waste your time or money here!

Awful. Not booked in even though I'd had email confirmation. Despite having a while you wait booking just to change brake pads, they couldn't do it quickly as they were all just going to go to lunch. Can't thi k of any other service industry where a customer who had proof of a booking would be made to wait like that and staff wouldn't just take lunch a bit later. 3 hours for a while you wait appointment to change brake pads. No apology. Then on handing back the car, the brake warning light was on and hadn't been checked so had to wait for further investigation. Nearly 4 hours of my time wasted.

Amazing sales team & customer service!
I would recommend to everyone ! I love my car and will definitely go to them for my next

Shelly Motors serviced my Kia recently. They did not fully service it as per the service agreement that I purchased prior to the service. I emailed them several times without reply. I contacted customer services, and they were as useful as a chocolate teapot. They suggested that I call Shelly Motors, I asked that he contacts them and asks them to reply to my email. Still no reply several weeks later. I will not be using Shelly Motors again as I have lost trust with them. I will not buy another Kia next time either!

Absolutely APPALLING service by Shelly motors Kia dealership. I booked a test drive for 10am on Saturday, arrived on time and was asked to wait. 15 minutes later the receptionist told to wait as Rob the sales guy was busy. After 30 minutes of waiting still nobody attended us. All the customers that came after us were being attended. Someone who looked like a 'sales manager' came and asked what we wanted. Then he said by mistake Rob took someone else instead of us. REALLY? Why was our appointment booked then!?

Then after 45 mins of wait the 'manager' apologised very rudely as if it was our problem. He said there was our name on the board but no time mentioned. I said we should have been done with the test drive by now. To which in a very confrontational manner he said 'What do you mean? Are you here to buy the car or just test drive it?'

SERIOUSLY guys?? Do you expect people to buy from you after such a HORRIBLE customer service?? Do they not have the courtesy to let the customers test drive before buying a car??

The manager apologised again later. But no amount of apologies are enough with such a behaviour. Looking at some other reviews as well, you should definitely AVOID them. Unless of course you don't value your own time and dignity.

Worse sales and showroom service I have ever received in my attempt to purchase a new car even though I made an appointment to test drive a vehicle and find out all the possible purchasing options available. I never did received the finance quotes from the sales person that were promised by email. I did follow up with a complaint and was contacted by them however my experience was so bad that I won’t be going back there. Shame as the Kia Nero is a good car. I have now purchased a car from a company who gave a most excellent showroom, test drive and hassle free buying experience.

Fantastic car buying experience
We met with Tom in sales who was excellent
He knew every element of the KIA Rio car we purchased. I will definitely go back to Shellys when I want a new car or upgrade as the service was excellent.
Thank you Tom/Shellys
