“Where do i even start? sold me a car advertised with full service history when its only had 3 services and last one being at 40k miles the car is currently on 73k miles....they'll tell you they do all these checks and service your car but my car turned up with no washer fluid whatsoever, oil below minimum, coolant below minimum, they have thousands of cars so don't think for a second the salesman has a clue about the car your ringing up about and probably hasn't even sat in it. Car delivery guy left a mars bar on my passenger seat and chocolate crumbs all over the gear selector! car turned up with 3 mile to empty with dashboard lights flashing and sounds basically saying your car is about to conk out! After driving to fill the car up it was instantly obvious there was something wrong with the gearbox, gear changes weren't smooth and it shifted rough and was clearly slipping...so obvious in fact there is no way Evans Halshaw drove the car down to me and handed the keys over without knowing the car was broke!! Fast forward 3 days and they made me book it in at a local garage just for car to be test run multiple times and sat in a car park for a week just for Evans Halshaw not to authorise the work as it was too expensive apparently, instead they sent someone back down 110 miles each way to fetch the car to take it back to Blackpool Ford to fix it, due to my insurance i had to have a blackbox installed which i made them FULLY aware of but the driver took no care whatsoever and drove my car like it was his own giving me bad scores to point of insurance threatening cancellation and when this wasn't enough when the car got to their garage one of their mechanics unplugged the box!!!! i had to spend 5 hours on the phone to insurance proving the car wasn't in my hands during these times. After ringing up EH they finally plugged it back in but what was interesting was the fact my box recorded multiple trips to shops and chippies, after asking them they claimed "test runs" yes im sure driving my car to a fish shop was just a test run even though it shows they parked outside it for a good 5 min like hm, also makes me laugh that they unplugged my dashcam how strange..so just know when your cars are in for repairs they're being took on joyrides. fast forward 2 weeks and i finally got my car back, gearbox was fixed but they also fitted steering parts without telling me and my steering was super heavy and they told me thats how its meant to be! before i could use one finger to turn the wheel now i needed both hands.....car also turned up with less than 10 miles yet it left with over half a tank which tells me they used a lot of my petrol on joyrides, gave them their courtesy car back with fuel and thats the thanks i get. Took over 3 months for the salesman to even send off the V5 so i wasn't even the registered keeper for 4 months, warranty pack i didn't get sent for 3 months either, AA cover they "gave" me didn't even work and the salesman goes from your best friend to ignoring you after they've got your money i even heard him sigh on the phone as i reported the issues...how dare i as a customer moan about a broken gearbox not even 10 min after it was delivered in such a state. So yeah beware using EH, they do zero checks and cant even be bothered to hoover the car out so what does that tell you? they dont service or check your engine and will happily delivery a car to you and hand you the keys knowing its broke not to mention the prices, they'll tell you their prices are what cars are going for now yet they'll offer you say £5,000 for your car then do nothing to it and relist it with £2,000 on top so why anyone sells them their cars is beyond me you'd make more from private selling. Would avoid and use a private seller.”

“Car had a health check they said the air con was OK they ticked it off on the sheet. Took the car to another garage the next day to be told the air con needed a recharge it was completely empty. It cost me £100 to put right. So if you are offered a health check beware.”

“So this is my second bad experience at an Evans halshaw branch this time I bought this 2014 BMW for just under £16000 and this is how the car has come to me and I'm absolutely disgusted I was told the scratches on the paintwork would be machine polished out the car would be valeted and the plastic air filter cover would be looked at to see why it was rattling none of this was done the rear tyres are an advisory on the mot so I had them checked and they're 3.6mm and 3.4mm so it will need tyres in the near future it only had one key this company is a disgrace I never received any updates after I was accepted for the finance I had to do all the chasing to get updates on what was happening again it's just one of these big companies only interested in the sales and not the customer service very disappointed please avoid I also find it really sad and desperate that they have to get their staff to put false reviews on google to try to get rid of the bad reviews showing up”

“Toked my Citroen C4 Cactus in Kettering branch where i’ve been overcharged for a major service by £110 compared to other Evans Halsaw locations. I've been charged £375 where the other 2 locations quote me just £265 for same plan. Spoked with Steve(branch manager) that didn’t offered any explanation or any inters in sorting out this issue. I've spoked with him about evans halsaw price back promise but he said is referring just to used cars and not to service plans(even if on website is saying that is also available on any repair/service). My front tyre been replaced with a Nexen cheap tyre but been charged for a premium tyre(£95) Complained all of this to Steve branch manager but he was trying to get rid of me instead of trying to sort my issue out. Been to Kettering branch just because my 2018 car was bought from his branch couple of months back and was making a noise from the driver front side since i’ve bought it from them and been promised this will get fixed under extended warranty after it been with them service 2 times before and failed to be fixed. Will never use Evans Halsaw Kettering again and i am looking to escalate my complain with Resolver, Evans Halsaw customer support head office and trading standards since Steve unit manager was not even trying to deal with my complain”

“Was not shown inside the car, car smelt, had warning light displayed on dash, all the tyre were underinflated. Before left showroom complained about warning light. 'nothing they could do and advised to take to ford dealership under warranty. When a second warning light came on, demanded a refund and returned car. Was told refund would be in bank yesterday, still nothing today. Sales people, Euan and Mohammed were a disgrace.”

“Enquired about viewing a car at Evans Halshaw Plymouth, they ignored my e-mail so I sent another one as I was really interested in the car. In the few days this took place, they hiked the price of the car up by nearly another £200! Poor customer service and unethical practices.. well it's their loss - they now have a bad reputation which I'm more than happy to share ... shame I was an all cash buyer too so they missed out on over £10k. Avoid!!”

“Vehicle health check stating air conditioning good! Very interesting as I took my 2020 Corsa in for an unrelated Vauxhall recall. Enquired about if Vauxhall 3 year warranty covered air conditioning, told I would have to pay £89 for diognostic. Politely declined. Had the recall work completed as well as a vehicle health check. Was amazed when my faulty air conditioning showed up as "Green all good" on health check. It's far from good, doesn't work properly. Obviously not a quality and propper inspection/health check. It's also a little embarrassing that counter staff almost beg for a 9/10 on customer feedback every time I take in a vehicle.”

“Burnley Branch, bought a Ford Focus, happy with the purchase a number of years ago. The gripe is with the communication from the garage when I had the car in when it lost power. It turned out the timing belt had gone and needed a new engine. It took 5 Weeks to diagnose the problem apparently using their best mechanic on diagnostics who had 40 to 50 years experience dependant on who answered the phone. The car has less than 60k on the clock. As I said it was lack of communication on the progress that was annoying, when asked to keep me informed it was not forthcoming. To compound matters when I sent a recovery wagon to pick up my car he was told a payment for the diagnostics was outstanding. It wasn't, I had an email thanking me for payment prior. Again lack of communication from the accounts department to the branch. Who bears the cost of re sending the recovery wagon. Guess!!!!!! Unfortunately this has left a bad impression on this branch and has put me off purchasing a future car from Evans Halshaw.”

“I needed the Security codes. When I visited them the first time, a lady told me that she needs the V5 and ID to proof it's mine. When I brought the requested documents a man told me that they need a photo of the car in there workshop! That's weird and unprofessional. Thank you Evans Hashaw for your useless services”
