“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.”

“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.”

“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!!!!!”

“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.”

“After Discussing a purchase of a mini on the Monday, the sales person "Zoe" said she was off on the Tuesday and would phone me on the Wednesday to arrange the sale and delivery. I had to contact the sales rep and was then informed that the car was sold on the Tuesday!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!! Thanks for nothing, I even told her that I work for the NHS and really needed the car....”

“What an appalling business, no wonder the Hemel Hempstead branch has closed. Made an enquiry on the chat yesterday about a car I was really interested in. Was promised a phone call back within an hour, no phone call so tried to phone. No response. I phoned this morning as they still hadn’t phoned. Was told they’d been taken over and they weren’t allowed to sell me a car, told to phone Bedford. Phoned Bedford who told me the car wasn’t on their stock list. 2 minutes later they phoned back to tell me it was. We tried to find a date next week for me to go over. I wanted Tuesday but the salesman said it was his day off so I agreed Wednesday. I asked what time? He said oh just phone in the morning! He then told me I had to pay a holding deposit and he would send me a link. I didn’t get the link so phoned back and he’d taken my email address down wrongly and he then sent me a link. I paid the deposit of £100. Ten minutes later he phoned to tell me that someone else had paid the deposit in the interim. 7 hours later and I still haven’t had the deposit back and I don’t have a chance of the car. If any one of the people had done their job properly I would have had opportunity to buy the car. As they didn’t and didn’t care either I won’t have a chance. If you get a choice don’t use this company under any circumstances.”

“Turned up at the set time, all I got was ring the number on the entrance door. Phone the number might as well not bothered. Then asked the staff for help, wow waste of space, avoid this lot at your peril lots of other good dealers out there. Could not put zero”

“Ordered 67 plate transit custom sunday gone, delivery for tuesday 2 days later. They rang monday to say they should have it ready if i wish to collect by wednesday as it requires mot, full valet and full machine polish. Annoying to wait extra day given advert said vehicle was ready to be driven away today (sunday) but hey ho, i made it clear i have litterally just recovered from covid as in last week and that cleanliness was of the highest importance and i was reassured it would be spotless. I also asked if the vehicle had any noticeable damage or scratches/rust etc- i was again assured it had a few minor scratches which would machine polish out and if any damage could not polish out, they had a bodyshop whom would sort damage out. Their advert/ sales pitch states it has had a full electrical/mechanical/ cosmetic check and it would be in tip top shape. So to my surprise.... i ring wednesday as ive heard nothing to be told there was a mix up and van had still not gone for its mot yet?? as it was at the bodyshop being fully machine polished. so i had no option but to wait. thursday comes and at near close of business i am rang to be told the van had failed its mot?? surprising given its supposedly had this top set of checks carried out as its just 3.7 years old? what was alarming was the failures: tyre cut exposing chords/ply rear brakes dangerously corroded/weakened battery insecure which could cause short circuit excessive handbrake movement minors: all brake pipes corroded on a less than 4 year old van with 70k miles? other rear tyre has a nail in front pads and discs corroded/scored/pitted but not weakened so now im annoyed to say the least and i am starting to distrust this dealerships so called work methods, so now i complain via email as im told it may be ready for friday if they can get parts ordered/ fitted in time, if not next week..... so then i get a call friday dinner to say its passed mot (mot still states theres a nail in the tyre at this point and all minors still exist) but the van will be ready for collection at 4pm as vehicle is at the valeters. ok all looking better so i agree to collection at 4pm. and then it all went wrong i turn up and as i arrive i can see from a mile away the rear quarter has been repainted poorly so im already in a mood so i start to look round to see a horrific list of poor repairs, dents, scratches, differnet colour door with filler marks, pitted paint,rust under door handles,rusty rear hinges,chipped windscreen, paint on the front seats/rear seats, cement stains on rear seats,under the passenger seat has been used as a rubbish bin, what looks like black mould on the sun visor, what looks like snot on the roof (my youngest sons words) a used biro pen in the rear door along with what looks like mud, they have simply tightened up the handbrake im assuming as the handbrake cover is flopping around and will not clip back into place- this is compounded by the dirt and rust thats visible as a result of cover not being in place. Seatbelt has been removed on drivers seat as its now been fitted back incorrectly, windscreen wipers do very little to clear windscreen yet it passed mot this way, inside of all windows are disgusting thick with grease and dirt ( i wiped just one part with a piece of white cloth and it came off black ). Rear of the van is a whole story to itself - litterally looks like someone drove through a muddy ford with rear doors open and flooded it. I mean seriously the list goes on and on.... whole van has been cleaned by freddy crueger or wolverine given the gouges to side windows,trims,panels. Only panels that have not been painted /dented or scratched is the bonnet. bumpers are completely dry/flaking in places. so i make my dissatisfaction abundently clear to be told by salesman van has been cleaned and machine polished, so i took my finger and wiped what he claimed to be in the paint - muck off the top of the damaged /scraped top of one of the sliding doors. At this point he says that it didnt have a full machine polish as he first claimed and said the onsite team have simply polished worst scratches that they could (but yet they left ones that could have came out) he then went on to say his manager tells him what they can spend on getting the vehicles ready ( imguessing it was the cost of a coffe or similar given the disgusting state) and that the online checks are based on age / mileage? so what evans halshaw hull are effectively saying is this.... if you buy a van thats 3.7 years old with 70k miles on it, it will be damaged all over, will have had plenty of poor repairs, it wont have been looked after, they wont repair it fully or properly, will have broken or ill fitted parts, paint on seats (as we all know this happens with age/miles) but what they will do is happily take your money, tell you everything will be checked and cleaned properly but then go on and do the exact opposite.. handover is meant to be done shortly and in a covid secure way, no gloves, no hand sanitiser, keys had ingrained dirt and i was passed a pen to sign actual paperwork which had not been cleaned etc everything should be online to minimise contact especially given id made it clear i had just recovered from covid 19 and still in fact have some now ongoing issues, so i had to get anti bac wipes to wipe vehicle down before i could drive it home, wear a mask all the way home and gloves as this thing is a breeding ground for germs. now van seems a little underpowered at the minute which im hoping is nothing as that would be the icing on a terrible cake, no apologies no discounts for such a poor vehicle nothing, but what i did get was a handover sheet which stated i was happy with every part of the vehicle and guarantees etc had been explained, so i quickly ensured i corrected all of this and took photos to prove so. now why did i take the van? because its on finance so its a hell of a lot of hassle to correct this, i have my own proper bodyshop/valeting facilities so i can rectify all issues and to be fair i wouldnt trust this dealership to put fuel in the van never mind correct all thats wrong. Ive already had my health put at risk by visiting these once, so sure as anything would rather stay clear. if i could post photos i would as i would seriously think twice before going here. I will be documenting all of this in one of my upcoming youtube series if anyone simply cannot believe a vehicle could be sold at this worrying time in such a terrible state. long story short, if you say youre going to do something then you should do it, what effectively happened was, they took the money (full retail value) then took a week to mot the van, change rear discs and pads and one tyre. Never ever again”

“Got sold an illegal car, no head light, unfortunately for me I was new to buying cars, these crooks saw me coming. When I took it back to complain I demanded a full service carried out on the car, they fitted a new bulb, they even changed the break pads as a good will gesture. Haha such a joke, like they are going to throw money at a car that they don’t need to. Also they sold me a car that was advertised as having alloy wheels, guess what they were not they were steel. Then they informed me the driveshaft had gone this was all in 24 hours of the car being purchased, I said I wanted a different car, they begged me to let them try and put it right, I allowed them to, they fixed the car I drove it 600 miles on holiday. Drove with my son in the car, the driveshaft had gone again, I took it back, they said it went again because they didn’t changed the W bushes, honestly one thing after another with these, three months after purchase I started getting an Intermittent, problem where I would loose power, and the clutch started to fail. Trying to prove these faults were with the car the day I bought it you can imagine is impossible. After so many similar stories and no one gets satisfaction, I am planning protests outside their shops. This is a warning to all stay away from this company.”

“the customer care at your cardiff branch is woefully inadequate and shockingly bad. my mother bought her car from you "new".... the mileage on the clock says 30k, but the onboard computer says 40k...she's had nothing but trouble and annoyances from you so i took over with the maintenance. kara, at your cardiff branch, spills bs out of her mouth like she does it all day. needless to say, everything kara assured me was going to happen, ... didn't. your company needs someone that knows how to run a garage. and it wouldn't hurt to get someone who knows how customer service works too... i'd have made the complaint on your website but, unsurprisingly, the email wouldn't send. DISGRACEFUL.”

“Had a recall for a software update on a Astra. The letter said it would take no longer than 30 mins and I would be able to wait. 1st time I went there they couldn’t find the codes in my wife’s car so had to rebook.2nd time was told if I got there at 0815 then car would be first on ramp and wouldn’t be very long at all. When I got there there was no job sheet and told it could be 1230 before I got the car back. I am not waiting 4 hours for a 10 min software update. Not the first time I’ve had bad dealings with this branch. Get the impression that they’re doing you a favour not the other way around by buying their cars. Live and learn, will not go there again or buy a Vauxhall for my wife”
