“Pestered by sales staff forever afterwards”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 02/01/2014

I bought my Honda Jazz three years ago, and we had pretty much the same experience as another reviewer, in that it took all day to buy the car - sales staff disappearing for twenty to thirty minutes at a time for no apparent reason (coffee break?). We also were subjected to quite a lot of high-powered sales pitch. The car was/is fine - no complaints there. However, I received loads of after-sales calls, some on the pretext of wanting to know how satisfied with the car I was, but really just an excuse to try to upsell more insurance etc. I have just booked the car in for a safety recall, during which time the booking clerk (NOT sales clerk?) repeatedly tried to upsell me products....on MY telephone time! I would never buy a car from them again.

“Service over and above the call of duty”

★★★★★

written by on 18/06/2013

After taking my 07 plate Honda CRV in for a Cam Chain replacement after a rattling sound from the Cam grew gradually louder. After looking up the issue on Google I knew I was in for a big bill... Left with no choice I book the car into Stratstone Honda Leeds and after a couple of hours I received a call from Bret the service manager to let me know what was needed. At best the repair would be £1,300 at worst £2,000 + depending on the wear of internal parts/valves and the ease at which they could be removed. As the Cam-Chain is supposed to last the lifetime of the car Bret offered to speak to Honda to see if he could get a contribution for the repair, he also promised to get in the event the work would cost more than the minimum quoted. I agreed to get the work done. Within 20 minutes Bret called me back. He had spoken to Honda UK and they agreed to pay a contribution of £400 towards the repair, even though the car didn't have a full service history though Honda. He also told me that the injectors had been removed without a problem and that the work would cost no more than £950. I am so impressed with the service provided, and cannot thank Bret and whoever he spoke to at Honda UK enough.

“Car had fault after service”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 28/02/2013

Car went in for service and MOT. Got it back and noticed Malfunction light coming on intermittently. Phoned in to be told earliest they could look at would be nearly 2 weeks later! Told it would be ok to drive but stop if orange light goes red. I complained and she booked me in earlier. Following day the light went solid and then intermittent again and finally went off by itself. Took car in and was told first 15 mins free then £75 charge for looking at. They had a look and said there would be £180 to replace a part. It was quite a co-incidence that this fault appeared after going in for service. Spoke to a couple of Honda owners that I know and view expressed was that they have been 'manufacturing' faults to generate income. I am not very impressed as I trusted them and given them lot of my business. Will re-consider whether I use them again.

“Part Exchange value changed and was reduced”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/08/2012

I went to Stradstone Honda in Leeds and when they looked at my part exchange they gave me a value and then when the manager in sales looked into a deal the part exchange value dropped. Would not recomend.

“Buying a used car was quite an experience”

★★☆☆☆

written by 123bigglad on 14/01/2012

I had been shopping around looking for a used 4WD vehicle and saw one advertised at the Leeds branch of Stratstone Honda. I was given an approximate valuation for the part exchange (subject to seeing) and was promised if I was not happy they would refund my petrol costs. The car was exactly what I was after but the customer service left a lot to be desired and after returning the customer service satisfaction form received in email, 40 seconds later I had an irate manager on my phone demanding to know why I left a low score !! Well, as explained to him, the only reason I stayed is because the car was exactly what I was after or I would have left. The following basically outlines the day .... Best part of 7 hours in a car showroom in total and the infamous quote of \"I will be 5 minutes sir\" .... Stratstone speak means 20 mins later Initial viewing of the car was good though asking where the switch was for the roof lights and how to fold flat the rear seats seemed to be impossible to answer. No record of the Radio PIN code either and a promise to get back seems to have fallen on deaf ears .... I will of course update this posting if that situation changes. Sales executive then looked over my car and then walked back inside saying \"I will be 5 minutes sir\" .... 20 mins later returning. Test Drive time ... oh dear battery is flat, \"I will be 5 minutes sir\" .... 20 mins later Good test drive, returned to garage - I suggested could you put the battery on boost charge - \"I will be 5 minutes sir\" .... 20 mins later == in this time other customers were looking to purchase == famous line I heard several times - \"I need to speak with my boss\", 20 mins later \"boss\" would appear and after a while a pattern emerged. They all appeared to be each others bosses, what a remarkable CONpany err I mean company !!! So, we started talking facts and figures and valuations on my Part Exchange, \"I will be 5 minutes sir\" .... 20 mins later his \"boss\" appeared. I thought, I know this chap .... I said, \"you have been rumbled mate, I saw you earlier dealing with the xxxxx customer\" he smiled, talked a load of useless unrelated rubbish and left smartish. Another boss appeared - \"Sorry sir we do not barter, but I will throw in a tank full of petrol and sell you back what is left of the road fund licence cheap\" Deal accepted - \"I will be 5 minutes sir\" .... 40 mins later I enquired if the battery had been put on boost charge .... our survey says nah nah !! Looking around the showroom as I had plenty of free time to do this I notice two wall plaques. One for servicing department 5 stars, oh and one for sales 4 stars oh dear, this might explain things ? I tried to explain all this to an irate sales manager who couldn't see the wood for the trees, more interested in grandeur than trying to fix the parts of customer service that are failing. His final solution for this is ..... I will never turn around a car the same day ever again. A shame, other branches of the same company do ! This \"might\" just be a one off experience. Bottom line, love the car to bits and an arguing point won over 2 included services (no they are not free as they had advertised - they just mark down your part exchange price to offset this) it was an interesting experience all the same and good to see the \"other side\" of human nature at work ;-) Steve ps Never got the petrol money refunded either lol pps two other couples I got speaking too didn't last as long as me and left earlier
