FRF Motors Toyota, Swansea

I had excellent help and service from the agent who has continued to help me since I received the car. I have no hesitation in recommending Toyota Swansea for the purchase of a car. I would give him 10 out of 10.

The friendly professional service was first class. There was no pressure to purchase just a desire to provide accurate information for a level headed decision to be made. This was such a positive experience. We purchased our first Toyota vehicle and are delighted with it and the customer service provided.

Thank you

Travelled 36 miles ( Milford haven to Carmarthen ) to look at a Toyota Yaris for my driving school and a Fiesta for my wife - parked outside the premises and walked over to a Fiesta in the well lit fourcourt - within 30 secs a loud tannoy blasted out - leave the fourcourt or police would be called - shocked isn't the word- unbelievable ,,,,,,!,,,,!,,, they have just potentially lost k20 worth of sales - please avoid FRF like the plague - 13 reviews all 1 star - avoid - A V O I D - AVOID

The car was booked in for four faults. I was told that they couldn't rectify the tracking before charging me for two unnecessary front tyres (I still have the two tyres as proof)! Then they wanted to charge me a over inflated price to rectify the tracking (£99 against £20 from a tyre specialist). They couldn't make their mind up as to what the groaning noise was, firstly they told me it was the ABS, and later they decided to change it to the turbo, place your suggestions a hat, and I will close my eyes and pick one)! The most serious fault was the car losing power and cutting out for no reason. They just simply said they had no idea what it was, or what it could possibly be!? I was told they had tested my car radio SatNav system with a Micro SDcard, and that it was fully working, only to be told later that they didn't have one to test it with? Their total lack of competence staggers belief, and these are the people we are not only trusting our vehicles with, but also our and other peoples' livesand safety. Needless to say I will not be going back. I will leave you make up your own minds...

Having been involved in a RTA FRF Repairs centre were inlisted as a service repair centre to complete the necessary reapirs. Having been advised via answerphone message and text that the car would be repaired by certain date and FRF liaseing with said car rental firm to confirm the date. I arrived at at end of working day only to be told the car was not yet ready. I then had to complete the necessary phone calls with the car rental company and insurance to ensure that whilst my vehicle was being repaird I would still have the use of a hire car. The customer service has been poor. With from line staff lacking in empathy and vacant in their approach.

I was told the next day that the new parts had arrived and the car was ready. On inspection not only had the car not revived a valet but there were shards of glass still left from the RTA. This then became a safety concern rather then cosmetic. When competing the customer satisfactory form I stated this. No apologies offered.

The finishing product was poor in terms of general repairs in my view the job was not completed thoroughly. My insurance company then had to contact FRF to look at resolving this situation. When transferred via phone call to FRF I was meat with the question "is there still glass in the car?" No instant apology. I was advised there was a new cleaner and deflected with this excuse.

The matter being the car should have been inspected abd cleaned prior to handover. At my inconvenience I was told I could come back to have valet. In my opinion and what I believe to be good customer service to complete the job this should have been done.

I would not recommend this service. What has been a terrible ordeal for the RTA this was the finishing product.

Friday 12th December – Corsa is booked in for diagnostics test, Vehicle dropped off at FRF at the requested time, 08:30, advised that I would be called as soon as an update is available.

After waiting 4 hours without a response, I called FRF only to be told that they did not have an update for me and that they would call me on my mobile shortly.

I waited until 16:45, without receiving a phone call – only to be told that the fault has been found with the ERG & glow plug, however, they did not have the parts available and I would need to the car back. Arranged to bring the car at 08:00 on Tuesday 16th December. – Why did I have to wait until 16:45? My car had been dropped off at 8:30!? If the test had been done in the morning - they may have been able to get the parts the same day, avoiding the need for me to bring the car back and take time off work.

Saturday 13th December – I receive an email and a text message advising me that my car had been booked in for Monday 15th December! – This is the incorrect day, we had arranged to bring the car in on Tuesday, due to my child-care arrangements. I then attempt to contact the FRF Service desk on several occasions between 12:00 – 14:00 to fix the mistake made by your member of staff, however there was no answer. Determined to ensure I was able to have my car booked in for Tuesday (as I had already arranged time off work)- I drive 21 miles from my Home in Kidwelly only to be told by the sales desk that the service department is closed for the weekend – Clearly your priorities lie with your new customers rather than your existing ones!

Monday 15th December – I call the Service Desk at 08:00! On my day off – I explain that a mistake had been made, the car is then booked in for Tuesday 16th – The staff member showed no empathy & offered no apology for the error! An example of great customer service.

Tuesday 16th December – The car is dropped off at 08:00, as requested. I wait until 14:00 until I call the service desk to ask for an update. However, there isn’t one; I am told once again that I will be called back soon.

16:45 - as I expected, no call back, I call the service desk once again – I am told that my car won’t be ready and that it will have to stay in the garage overnight in order for the work to be completed in the morning. I ask the member of staff if I can borrow a courtesy car in order to make the 21 mile journey home only to be told that they don’t have any available! I then suggest that the garage pays for my taxi home – I’m placed on hold, 5 minutes later & miraculously the car is available to be picked up at 17:30!

The attitude of almost every staff member I had dealings with has been absolutely disgusting, no empathy, no apology, just excuses, passing the buck and blaming other individuals. It seems that if you are a new customer they will bend over backwards to help you, but should you have a problem with your existing Vauxhall you are treated like a second class citizen.

Following the purchase of both a new car (private) and having a vehicle still under a Vauxhall warranty (company vehicle). I can say without hesitation it is the worst customer experience I have encountered.

Normally I would try and remain impartial and consider my experiences are isolated – although on doing some more research I have picked up dozens of negative reviews with similar issues! I would strongly encourage anyone to do a little research on FRF Swansea before considering purchasing a car / service work.

A very quick summary includes – unsafe work, negligent damage, refusing to undertake warranty work and unbelievably attempting to charge for service work that had not been provided

While this may not be the last Vauxhall I own – it will without doubt be the last time I deal with FRF Swansea

I've owned so may cars and driven over one million miles so when it comes to any car issue I know what I'm talking about. Everytime I have the car serviced, they say this is wrong, that is very dangerous etc etc....then I find out on close inspection that there was no need to carry outthe work. Oh you've got a screw in your tyre and its too close to the edge to be able to repair, so I told them don't worry I'll sort it, so I take to my local garage they fix it, 100mm from the shoulder.....is this a crime. Next service all yous disc are worn, the car is too dangerous to drive.....really....Itake it to my local garage, they change the front discs after 9,000 miles and the rear disc are still ok 20,000 miles one......I don't trust them, I only take there for the warranty....

Told me it was okay to drive a per-reg car without a tax-disc for 2 weeks, lucky I checked when I got home with the DVLA! Should have learnt from them the last time! Never again.......

I got a car from theses guys back in 2012 the car as been really good dont get me wrong, but they have been trying to get me to buy a new car after only 2 years and when i went there they some how after looking at my car a scuff got on the bonnet! never seen it before but they said about the scuff now i see it! strange one.
