The service provided was incredibly poor, things were agreed to be sorted out and then never were. I would never ever use this garage again. Rob constantly fobbed me off, I had to return the car 4 times to actually have done what he agreed ro have completed before we purchased the car. The courtesy cars were horrendous and I didn't feel at all comfortable driving my new baby around in them.
Queried a noise from the exhaust at the time of purchase to be told that the exhaust was brand new and they always sound like that!!!! The exhaust was definitely NOT brand new and 2 years down the line has finally given up the ghost! The car is rotten underneath. 2 months after buying it we had to have the airbag sensor replaced which was nearly £200 (also mentioned to rob when we purchased as we were assured had been fixed!) Then approximately 6 months after purchase we had to fork out £500 for a new clutch! The 'warranty' was a load of nonsense that basically didn't cover anything at all!
The garage just fobbed me off over and over again.
Very disappointed, especially as I only used them as they were recommended to us.
Two months later and my cars brakes had worn out. I sent an email over to the dealership and they were happy to replace them asap.
Absolutely lovely business, we will be coming back next time we're after another car for sure!
Thanks Nick for our Roadster, which we love.
I immediately called Colin Mostons and told Nick (who sold me the car) of this issue to which he said no problem that I should bring the car back and they would ensure it was repaired properly. Nick went on to say they are a dealership who have been around for decades and would never try to take advantage of their customers.
Since trying to arrange my car repair I have had zero luck getting hold of them, their phone ALWAYS goes to answer phone and despite leaving numerous messages every month since September I have been completely ignored. I even called the mobile phone number on the website but again no answer and goes to VM.
Attached are images of the masking tape I pulled off the handle, the handle which has a massive gouge in it and the door where body filler has been painted over and the paint has formed bubbles.
I contacted them 3 times in October, 4 times in November, 3 times in December and 4 times in January. I finally got hold of someone over the chat system today via their website and they of course promised I would get a call back but here we are at the end of the day and...yep...you guessed it...Nothing! Complete radio silence!
Update 25/01: Despite numerous requests for the dealership to contact me back and leaving several messages over the last week I have had to take legal action and instructed solicitors. Sorry guys I really tried but you just don't seem to be interested in resolving this issue.
The owners response to the above review shows their level of customer service and interperson skills.
Plus CMC Workshop stands for Colin Moston Cars Workshop so they're not really that separate! 😂
Selling the car is one aspect of a professional relationship with customers who rightly expect after sales support.
I was not disappointed.
Nick , Wayne and Aiden were patient, professional and clearly take a long term view that will retain loyalty in a highly competitive field.
Couple this with a high quality product and Snows should go from strength to strength.
Many thanks one and all.
My daughter brought a Fiat 500 and its been great. After sales great and now use them rather than previous garage to have any repairs done.
