“Robbing people from interest rates paid three grand more than the car is worth”

“This is about the 9th car I’ve bought from S G Petch. It was a little stressful this time as the salesman I normally deal with had retired. The new salesman I was dealing with then left. So another salesman took over and managed to sort a car out for me. All good in the end”

“We recently bought a Hyundai Kona EV from SG Petch and were delighted by the service they provided. It was easy to arrange a test drive, the showroom is modern, clean bright and welcoming with excellent customer service facilities. A warm welcome awaited us and the sales person (Mark Hodgson) was very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. We received a fair price for our trade-in against the new car which we were so impressed by the car, we bought it immediately. Thank you for making the car-buying process pain-free.”

“Spoke to Rhys at the Darlington branch. I wanted all weather mats for a Mazda CX-5. Rhys said that he could order them and get them delivered to me within a couple of days. They arrived the next day! My son is absolutely thrilled with the mats and I would certainly recommend this company for their friendly, helpful and courteous response.”

“Total time wasters. Was contacted by phone by a member of their sales team inviting me for a "review of my current agreement" I advised I wasn't looking to change my car or spend anything on changing to a newer model. I was told it was a normal meeting and they would check over the car and ensure it was still in good condition and they may be able to save me money either way. None of this happened. They asked for my mileage and got a settlement figure. They didn't look at the car at all. All I was offered was a 24 plate comparative car for a £1500 deposit going against what I advised during the first phone call. Unless you're actually wanting a new car or due for a service, do not engage with SG Petch. You AREN'T a VIP for their next sales event. Reviews of your PCP deal AREN'T routine and they WON'T check over your car. It's all lies and tactics to waste your time and get you in the dealership.”

“Brilliant service. Looked after very well. All the details of the car we were interested in were well explained and we were very please with this. When we chose the exact model we were given good options of how to purchase and we were offered an excellent deal. Would highl reccomend them as an excellent company to deal with.”

“Phoned up to test drive, potentially buy a Kia Sportage that is pre registered and in stock along with multiple others at the Sunderland branch. On arrival we nearly left as there was not one space available for customer parking. Eventually a space became available and parked 20 minutes early for our appointment, after an hour and 3/4 journey. Sales person spoken to who opened the car for us while the sales person our appointment was with dealt with another customer. First impression, if we are driving this car why isn't it out ready to go. Eventually our sales person became available. Sales person took sales manager to value our trade in, eventually they came back suggesting it was difficult to value being a good Landrover. Filled in forms to test drive, this took an age. Sales person was to come with us, not normal at other garages we deal with, good job really as we had to go for fuel too, again why did it not have fuel in ready. My wife and I both drove and liked the car. Back at the desk sales manager offered too low an opening trade in price, but said he'd try some traders, which I would have expected him to do while we were test driving, obviously had not bothered as the Landrover appeared out of his comfort zone. Things dragged on the sales managers, sullen cant be bothered abrupt attitude was quite irritating. I asked for his best price to change, suggesting there needed to be some negotiation as there were none of the benefits of buying a factory order, like service packages or subsidised credit. No price to change given, we left to test drive a volvo, feeing he may as well have said have sex and travel! Now as we are a 4 sometimes 5 vehicle house hold who run multiple businesses we buy at least one vehicle a year sometimes two, and have never left any other dealership feeling this way. Worst attempting to buy a new 40k plus car we have ever experienced.”
