“SG petch Middlesbrough: Terrible, i will never set foot in here again. The only staff member who has been helpful has been Alex but i have a list as long as my arm of things that have gone wrong with my abarth competizione. See below: Got car 1st March 2019. Upon leaving ESR and Hill Assist light came on. Took back to showroom but nothing came on. Told them this was due to a bad sensor in the brakes but gave the car back. Fault came up again that night 2nd March picked up from work and stayed in the workshop for a few days. Looked at sensor in the brake and this wasnt plugged in properly - fixed. Car service completed 11/01/2020 25/02/2020 experienced a fault where my clutch was sticking to the floor Rang SG petch, spoke to Staff, rang numerous numbers i was given but would not ring. Staff rang the number, recovery came to my work. Told i could not have a courtesy car as did not have one available. Explained i needed one. Drove car to SG Petch. Given fiat 500 courtesy car Rang on 26/02/2020 and was told they had road tested my car and could not find fault 27/02/2020 telephone call from Staff who told me my car needed a whole new clutch because the ‘clutch manifold had failed’. No such thing as a clutch manifold? Picked car up on 6th March, Staff advised she would send information out in the post as to why my clutch had failed 16/03/2020 No post received - telephone call to SG petch to enquire and advised they would print it off immediately and send me it in the post Letter recieved on 25th via second class post. It was clear the master cylinder had failed. 7th september 2020 car goes into garage because i complained the housing around the fog lights was cracked. Telephone call from Staff later on that day saying that the fog light housing was cracked (not sure why it wasnt replaced on the day) and would need to be booked in to get fixed. Also GSI not working - booked in on 18th September and told i have to pay £6 for hire car. Took car in on 18th and when i got back on the evening i was advised they had ordered the wrong part and the computer was down therefore nothing had been done. Telephone call from Staff on 02/12/2020 to advise the parts were in and the computer was working. Service booked for 06/01/2021 - fixed fog light surrounds. Advised need a new clutch pedal as this was missing a spring. Booked in for 18/01/2021. Telephone call on afternoon saying car needs another part for the pedal which didnt realise until stripped pedal. Agreed to leave until afternoon of 19/01/2021. Also reported squeaking on drivers side wheel arch. Advised they could not identify any squeaking. 16/02/2021 noticed car squeaking getting louder, took videos. Telephone call to SG Petch 20/02/2021. Spoke to Staff, booked car in for 05/03/2021. Telephone call from Staff to advise the brake pads need replacing but wont be able to do it until 09/03/2021 due to not having them in stock. Agreed to leave car with them until then. Picked car up on 08/03/2021 after phonecall with Staff who advised work had been done earlier than expected. No further squeaking. 07/04/2021 - got on A66 and lost power at 60mph car wouldnt accelerate properly, resistance with the accelerator pedal. Rang Sg petch at 8:30 and was advised they would ring me back. Telephone call from Staff advised car wouldnt be looked at until 19/04/2021. Advised to drive back to middlesbrough despite car not being safe. Staff told me i needed to arrange recovery myself to get the car to middlesbrough and they could not get me a hire car. Telephone call to finance company who advised they could not help. Telephone call to SG petch advised manager wasnt in. Spoke to Different staff member who arranged for someone to come collect car and said she would look at trying to get me a courtesy car.”

“Ordered a 208 Allure back in December but due to unforeseen circumstances it was held up. So another vehicle was sourced with a higher spec. I was kept in the loop at all times, staff were efficient, communicative and always happy to help.”

“Just like to say thank you to Ryan Robertson for his help. Not at all like the stereotypical car salesman (or should that be person?) He was very pleasant, courteous and very, very helpful. Not his fault systems went down, but he coped with it with equanimity and good humour. A pleasure to do business with him. Highly recommended.”
