AWFUL The issue that I have experienced was: I placed an order for a used Vauxhall Astra on Thursday 17th June through the Evans Halshaw main website - this part was great and very easy to use. I selected delivery on Sunday 20th June - the dates were pre-determined on the website and it appeared I had free choice. First thing on Friday (18/6) morning, I received a telephone call from a salesman at Ford Rotherham. The telephone call started with saying the car could not be delivered on Sunday, the only reason given was that the car was due to go into an MOT. There was no expected delivery date given - despite me asking. The telephone call was blunt and rude. Since getting the car, I have looked at when the MOT is due and it says 7/6/22, therefore I know the MOT did not take place after car sale, despite being told otherwise. I then received a WhatsApp message from the salesman saying the car had 3 notable scratches - now the reason given as to why the car isn't being delivered was being changed to "needs to go into paintshop." The profile picture on this mans WhatsApp (of which he is using for professional business) is quite frankly intimidating and unprofessional. The salesman is sat with a red vest, and beer glasses - not a professional picture at all despite paying a premium for a car through a dealership. I then received nothing over the weekend. At the start of the following week (21/6), I received telephone calls of the same rude nature from salesman saying they were trying to arrange a driver to deliver the car - fair enough but again no delivery date told. I later received an email with a receipt of my near 5k purchase, which at the top stated an estimated delivery of date of 25/6. Perfect, I thought. However, this is "estimated" and still nothing confirmed. Wednesday, Thursday pass with no contact. Friday morning - the estimated delivery date - no contact from salesman. At this point getting ridiculous. I then text him to which I got reply saying it would be delivered today - no idea what time though. All the way through the process, I mentioned I work in a school and can't be on hand to answer phone calls whenever. At 11am, I receive a phone call saying "I need to pay for the tax so the car can go on the road". The salesman asked for my card details, without telling me how much I was paying for, I refused to give him my long card number as no idea this was genuine. I asked to pay the tax in direct debits - once again I wasn't told how much for. I was at this point told the drivers were coming to collect the car. Now for what is quite frankly a disgusting comment that made me feel really uncomfortable. At 12:30pm, I received another phone call from salesman. I answered, I was told "the 2 drivers who are picking you car up are thick as pig ****." If I said this comment to anybody in my line of work, I would expect to be put on an official warning or get sacked. The 2 drivers - who lived in Bristol - I do not know the name sadly were amazing. Being told the drivers - who were deliverying my £5k purchase - were "thick as pig ****" naturally puts you on edge and I felt scared the purchase may never turn up. People making comments like this should not be anywhere near customer service.

Bought a used car this week from Darlington branch. The salesman Tino was courteous and very pleasant to deal with, he took time to fit me with a car suitable for my needs. I would give him 6 stars if I could for the service he provided. He is a credit to the branch.

Sell cars they dont or cant repair,why,because they dont have the equipment or tools to do any repairs .they only service cars thats the limit of their skills and abilities.was forced to take my car to an independant garage .they should not be allowed to trade in second hand vehicles if they cant do the above .so begs the question why are the regulators allowing this to happen .

Evans Halshaw at Shiremoor I find hard to beat Carl Dunn used car salesman I’ve now known for 15 years as he is that good I have yet to call in and see him for a new car what only takes him average an hour to get me exactly what I want not only me but my wife and friends find the same results Carl I have known since his days at Reg vardy never has he let me down he needs to be recognised by the company I think he should be a manager while Carl works there I will always be coming back give him my regards 👍

Today I have received my second hand car from Evans Halshaw, Gateshead delivered to my home, and I am delighted with it. I found the car online and purchased the car via the Phone and Teams Meeting with Iain who was really helpful and dealt with the order efficiently and who made the process very easy. From my personal experience I would highly recommend using the Gateshead branch of Evans Halsaw.

I needed an mot today but the guy wouldn't take it saying the tyre was bald but when I took it to Kwik fit they said it was on the limit meaning it could of been taken. Then I phoned up for another appointment pressed 3 for service and they guy twice put the phone down on me. I used to deal with Treforest Evan Halshaw they was fantastic polight always pleased to serve. Ford closed them down now I have to deal with Cardiff Evan Halshaw. Once I had mot there the front window screen looked like it was wiped with an oily rag I had to crawl back down the street and clean it. They are the worse people so rude. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

Do not buy from evan halshaw car store its ok until you have warranty and your car has faults and issues and they take around two weeks to fix not even a days work there very rude and dismissive and this is the manager he has been the worst you can't complain about him either messed up system going on and whats worse he knows I'm going on holiday and is meant to offer a hire car and they pay £30 a day towards this for seven days but apparently has never done this and doesn't know how it works cant belive someone like this is manager and treat customers this way its appalling behaviour from a grown childish man.

I bought a used car 3 days ago from walsall branch. The salesman ,Dayton ,was knowledgeable, courteous and very pleasant to deal with. I would give him 6 stars if I could. He is a credit to the branch. As the car is new to me ,I cannot ,as yet ,review their after care service.

Found a car online (long distance purchase). Byron was great, we agreed a sale and I secured the car with a deposit. Following day I had a distanced sale agreement meeting over zoom where sale was agreed and purchase order was signed (this is legally binding contract). I received a call 2hours later refusing to sell me the car because they had not priced it correctly, this is when Omar got involved. This man should not work in a customer service environment, he is rude and has lots of attitude which reduced me to tears!!! Do not deal with this man, I have gone above to complain about how I have been treated and how they have breached their contract and sale should be honoured, the case has not been resolved and yet they have put the car back up for sale. I am shocked how a company can act so unprofessionally.

The service I received was second to none. The salesman Kim Khan was extremely helpful and went the extra mile when dealing with me. He explained everything in detail about the financing of the vehicle and the lay out of the car. All in all a great experience of buying a car in these difficult times.

Was surprised to read some of the comments as I recently bought a car through Dave Williams at Gateshead branch and was delighted with the service. Fast, friendly and factual with no hard sell. Good explanation, video of car and extremely fast delivery. Thanks.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They are conmen. I purchased a car from Evans Halshaw Ford Cardiff, they mis sold this car to me because it had previously been in an accident and had multiple repairs done, also an alloy refurb, all of this was hidden from me. Also the car was delivered by a driver with no covid safe procedures at all. It was also dirty under seats and in footwells. They claim that customer service is their top priority, it most definitely is not, they just want the money. I tried to resolve the issue but just get passed around. Absolute disgrace of a company, AVOID!!!!!

A big thank you to Ben Crooks for making buying a new car such a pleasant experience. He went out of his way to find what we asked for. He took his time with us even though we were a bit late. We would highly recommend Ford Evans Halshaw Priory Park Hull. Thank you Ben you are a credit to the company.

Visited Kilmarnock branch recently. Never again. Salesman less than half my age was patronising and spoke to me like I’d never bought a car before. I didn’t accept his “ absolutely best offer” on my car as part exchange and left. Said I had another car to check and would phone him next day if still interested in the one at Kilmarnock. Was told he’d phone me next day. Never heard from him. I was really interested in the car I viewed but his attitude just got my back up. Bought a similar car with less mileage and a better trade in deal elsewhere from a more professional salesman. And the car I viewed at Evan Halshaw is still on their forecourt weeks later. Had same experience at same garage a few years ago.
