“Test drove a car on Saturday 20th July, informed the salesman at Wolverhampton site that the front parking sensors had a fault on the display. We bought the car on the understanding that the fault would be rectified. Collected the car on Friday 26th July. Informed that the sensor issue had now been sorted. Locking wheel nut, and trye inflation kit missing. Went 500yds down the road, and hey presto the fault on parking sensors came on again. Saturday 27th July, spoke to Steve (Manager). He told us to go to VW and get a replacement locking wheel nut (not our job but we went). VW dont do them, we were informed that they had ordered one on a 48 hour delivery. (22nd August still no locking wheel nut). Car was booked in on 29th July for parking sensors, collected cat 30th all working. The attitude of the new car salesman was very unprofessional. It has been a shambles from start to finish you can never get to speak to anyone. I did order a replacement locking wheel nut off ebay, and it came within 2 days. Never buy a car from these people.”

“I purchased a car from Evans Halshaw this year only to discover the tailgate was faulty and wouldn’t operate on the electrics. 5 months have passed and the car is yet to be repaired. I attended the garage for the third time today for another attempted repair, only to be told they don’t have a manual courtesy car available and they offered me an automatic. Once again explained I’ve no experience driving an automatic and it wouldn’t be safe to drive one away from the garage in a busy area in rush hour traffic. The customer services staff proceeded to patronise me in asking how I can’t drive an automatic and telling me I’ll have to one day. When I refused the vehicle on safety grounds I was told there’s only one manual vehicle and it might not be available for further planned repair dates. So they can’t guarantee a suitable courtesy car that I can drive and I’m expected to just accept what I’m given if I want warranty repairs carried out. To make matters worse my car was scratched when I left it with the garage the second time they attempted the repair.”

“I purchased a car online , with a 3 month warranty . V5 didn't arrive , had to chase it twice . Charged me for petrol they didnt put in. Car was delivered with a broken spring ( which they said was 'wear and tear') , a rotten exhaust which fell apart after a week (which they said 'wasn't covered' ),although salesman had told me it would be years before the exhaust needed replaced , and seized rear brake adjusters which they just didn't reply about. In the end my emails were ignored after being told the above . Seems the car probably wasn't inspected by them at all before it was sold . Dangerous! (Suspension and brake issues). Avoid !”

“Very poor service, no access to speak to anyone. Complaints department stonewall customers, very dismissive attitude towards a real compliant. I purchased a Peugeot 3008 in January, had an adblue fault dash warning in the 3 month warranty period, Plymouth branch reset the fault code. They made an appointment with the local Peugeot Plymouth centre, unfortunately a family member was taken into hospital. So I could not attend it. The assured me that they would rebook. After this the branch was closed down. The fault reoccurred, I contacted Evans Hawshaw, as above they have no record of the issue. So in conclusion I’m nearly £2000 out of pocket. Think very carefully about purchasing any car from them. I spent £16000 on a car that should have been fit for use, now 2 grand later I’m still worrying this car will breakdown again.”

“Nothing but a bunch of liars its no wonder they don't record phone calls they have with customers, make them put everything in email or record your phone calls because they'll deny ever saying anything and the complaints team which is just a manager at the branch your complaining about will just take their word over yours. I bought a car from them a few weeks ago, i was messed around constantly and advised to come down and view the car just to turn up and be told the car isn't ready and i was lying about someone telling me to come down which makes a ton of sense! i was told the car had full service history and was well looked after, car has had 1 service in 7 years and all they did was perform a minor service on it prior to sale which i wouldn't even class as a service but lets say 2, apparently 2 is now full service history. I put in a complaint and it was just sent to the same people who have been lying and not communicating with me so i don't even need to say how the complaint went, car also didn't have a spare tyre or jack kit and no mats or parcel shelf, i got offered a service and parcel shelf as a good will gesture for being ripped off £2500 because their staff lied but of course they denied it, sales team also broke data protection by sending me documents with private info on like the price they paid for it off the previous owner and also bank details of a company they use. Still waiting for my service to be booked and my parcel shelf, getting very close to just driving it back and leaving it there for a refund, communication has been terrible and simple issues could have been fixed within days if they actually knew what they was doing, tried to push me into buying a warranty and claiming they dont make money off it which is another lie, also told me when i said no i was basically silly as their 3 month warranty only covers up to £500 etc when i know consumer rights covers act covers anything for same amount of time as their warranty as long as you can prove the fault is a progressive fault and couldn't have been caused by you driving it for x amount of miles and the warranty is a rip off anyway, they just resell it and are very smart with how they choose which parts are covered and which are not. Once my service is done and parcel shelf i will never buy another car off them again, it takes so much effort to get a simple reply and its always 'give us x amount of days' so you do then they say 'no i told you a week not x amount of days' but in the end you just get fed up of them, i made it clear i want a major service considering the car is almost on 61k miles and its last full service was done at 29k miles but i don't doubt for a second they'll try doing a minor service on it not realising my mechanic will be taking all plastic covers off to see what's actually been changed afterwards and if they have then we'll be going back again and again until they get bored or force me to reject the car and cost them money, also forgot to mention i was told the car had paint work consisting of bumpers being resprayed and alloys being touched up, if these bumpers have been resprayed i'd be concerned considering its got chips and scruffs on it so yet another lie and also told alloys were stripped and repainted and not just touched up when its clear they've only been touched up with a pen off Ebay as they look a mess on two of the alloys, wont name names but this 'salesman' telling me FSH and the car had paintwork etc done needs sacking, wouldn't trust him to sell me a 50p lollipop let alone a car.”

“Only giving 1 star as can’t give zero. The salesman makes it sound like the best guarantee in the world and reading it it does sound great but just try and make a claim. The guarantee isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. They say parts actually have to fail to be covered. On a service it was found the track rod end was worn to be an MOT failure but as the part itself didn’t actually fail, fixed it before to keep it maintained like you have too, it’s not covered. Shock absorber leaking not covered as again the part hasn’t failed. Seems the only way the guarantee might pay out is if the part fails car gets written off and they can then leave it to the insurance companies, so again no need to pay out. They rarely answer phones so faceless emails from people who basically say not my problem. Wouldn’t buy a car from them again if it was the best deal on the planet. Do yourself a favour go elsewhere and avoid these cheating cowboys”

“Unfortunately aftersales service is one of the worst service based in coventry. Sales manager Ashley Hyed is a very unprofessional and lazy. keep doing fack promises for avoiding complete job. Trying to resolve issues of my bought car with in 2 weeks of bought, but no really interested to respond and resolve issue. Can finish the job within 5 mins (just need to decision to aprove work) taking 2 weeks in a row but still not considering matter of time and urgency. No wonder why coventry branch is going to close.”

“Excellent Service and Great Experience at Evans Halshaw. I recently purchased a used car from Evans Halshaw and the experience was exceptional from start to finish.William Whippe, the sales representative, was particularly helpful. He patiently answered all my questions and provided detailed information about the all requested. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my experience at Evans Halshaw. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a new/used car. I will definitely return for my future servicing needs.”

“Bryan at Evans Halshaw Falkirk provided a first class personalised service from start to finish. Having suffered an injury in a bad accident, which left me unable to collect my new car, Bryan dealt with all the paperwork and delivered my new car to my home in East Kilbride, making it a stress free situation.”

“On the 31 May I set off to Evans Hashaw York to look for a new car, on route I looked on the website and saw a car at Gainsborough Evans Halshaw that I liked the look of. Having a look around York we asked if they had anything similar. They didn’t and so we mentioned going to Gainsborough for it but were told that it could be transferred to York for £99 and that York do better point checks than Gainsborough would as they had higher standards. Why does Evans Halshaw allow this to happen, it seemed a bit bizarre as they are the same company and surely run from the same checks. However we were told york is a more affluent area than Gainsborough and so the standard is higher. Couldn’t quite believe what I was hearing. However I paid £99 for the transfer as York is closer to us than Gainsborough and was told it should be with them by Monday, and then they would do their checks, two weeks at the most before it could be released to me. One week later I called for an update the car was still at Gainsborough, 2 weeks later it had arrived that day but with 2 dents in the doors and front grills that needed to be ordered and replaced. At no point in the advertisement or when asking for the transfer were we made aware of this, the car had only done 7000 miles. Why did Gainsborough take 2 weeks to check the car then send it substandard. Why do Evans Halshaw allow this? As it would seem the York branch was well aware this does happen. So I was supposed to wait again for parts and fitting. At this point I lost faith in the company altogether and bought a car elsewhere that have standards across their sites and advertise appropriately, I think I had a lucky escape. Date of experience: 31 May 2024”
