“Ordered car got a personal video as to far to travel payed for delivery and bank transfer of £19995 for vehicle had to get tax and insurance for vehicle before delivery vehicle arrived no fuel chipped windscreen .which I’m still waiting on them replacing scuffs on body tyres with just over 3 m On them no paper work to say if vehicle had been serviced before delivery no manual or service book you would think after paying that kind of money for a car they would try and keep the customer happy .have taken car to pentland landrover and payed for a service myself .im still waiting on a curtesy call but not interested in customer after they have your money very poor service .”

“People seem happy with their purchases but its all very well until you encounter an issue. 1 star is generous for the complete lack of any service and response to my emails to their so called customer service line (4 emails sent by me and the warranty company Pendragon has lodged 3 formal complaints also and zero response) The service Dept no longer respond to my direct emails of which there has been well over 20 emails where none of the promises have been kept, preferring to brush this matter under the carpet, constantly i was given excuses,saying they would get me an answer the following day, but then time and time again it is completely ignored or forgotten with no resolution. I bought a second hand car that was delivered to me with a fault, which left my rear tyres heavily worn on the inside and a loud humming noise from the rear of the car. I was told to take it to a dealer to get checked, which isolated the issue through their diagnostic tools. I followed all of the instructions from Evans Halshaw fully and have been noting but patient, but now they have completely stopped responding to my communications leaving me without any solution or information and i am stuck with a 120000 pound car i feel uneasy about using now (this has now been going on for over 3 months) All i want is for someone to communicate and let me know what can be done about it. I am not asking for the moon here.”

“My experience would take far too long to fully explain. I went to the Evans Halshaw in Milton Keynes. I do not know the salesman name in question because he never introduced himself. He couldn’t have been less interested if he tried. He was so incredibly unfriendly and so unhelpful. When inspecting my car for a part exchange,which is six years old, with a dent in the side & some scratches,he screwed his face up & criticised my car! I’ve never felt so uncomfortable, ever. I had to leave. It felt like my small budget was no interest to him. I went to another garage that day & was treated with respect & I’ve reserved a car. I’ve submitted a complaint to head office.”

“Back in THE START June 2021I bought a car after being sent a personal video of the car, i called and spoke to Jamie the car salesman who described the car and assured me any issues would be rectified before it left to be delivered. Now this car cost almost £20k and i knew of recalls which were present on this type of car, again i was assured they'd all be done prior to delivery... so i bought it. So delivery day comes, the car had the exact issues with iot that were supposed to had been checked (and as the salesman said) double checked BEFORE it was delivered.I wont go into it and bore you all but its taken me ALMOST 3 months to get the car sorted by a DS dealer and only today i got everything done , its now 20th AUGUST! I had to open a case against them using resolver and finally the manager agreed to pay for the issues but would not compensate me for the 4 round trips at 80 miles each, the time i had to take off work and the stress of having to use hire cars while all this was done. sorry to say i definitely do not recommend this company.”

“Bought a 2017 blue bmw 335d three weeks ago, newcastle for £19500 and had delivered supposed to be excellent condition, but on car coming of transporter I saw a couple of scratches on door, and the front bumper headlights windscreen covered in stone chips. I immediately phoned them back, to be told what do you expect from a car 4 yr old. Because car was a hugh spec and inside was stunning, I priced up a bumper respray which was £400 and asked whether they would go half's. They replied immediately they have want car back, which let to my suspicion why the car was wanted back. I paid a specialist BMW garage to check car and found it was accident smashed and not recorded. Lift bonnet and it was the left suspension turrent with diabolical sealant around new repair and the sticker still showing on new inner wing. I got my money back after 5 days but was out of pocket as had sold my car so no vehicle and asked whether they could help with hire car, I'd paid insurance and then cancelled it with a fee for doing so. The manager told me where to go? Surprise surprise car is for sale again today in same garage for £500 quid less, and no mention of accident damage. Be ware of evans halshaw.”

“Evans Halshaw Wolverhampton Aug 2021 I reserved a Van and paid a deposit on a Thursday following a video sent to me . I then had a call with the salesman to complete and sign the order forms. On the Friday I paid the full balance for the van and was told he would call me to sort delivery. I had a duck and dive session Friday afternoon through to Tuesday morning where no one was ever available to speak to me and no one ever called me back Tuesday after I received a call from the salesman saying a small issue, they were going to refund me as they were not selling the van to me as the price was wrong and they wanted more money for it. I asked to speak to a manager who after me chasing 3 times eventually rang me at 6.45pm on Tuesday evening . He advised me that he was not selling me the van as it was advertised on both their website and auto trader at the wrong price.. He was really rude and would not look at a discussion, told me I can do what I like he was advertising the van that evening even though he still had my money. We are now at Wednesday and the van is advertised and Evans Halshaw have not refunded the money or returned a call following a complaint I raised. All in all I would not ever by another vehicle from such a company who have no respect for their brand or customer service.”

“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.”

“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 .”

“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.”
