Hamble Motors, Southampton - www.hamblemotors.co.uk

DO NOT TRUST THIS DEALER. I bought my brand new 308 CC from HM, took it back one year later for its service. I paid £200 and had a completely failed heating system. They had caused damage to my car. The bonnet had only ever been opened by HM. I asked for a small amount of compensation, which they failed to pay and they have taken from December 2015 until June 2016 to provide an explanation, which is completely contrary to the facts. HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HAMBLE MOTORS.

Just plain awful from start to finish - car not as described, calls & emails ignored, complaint not resolved, speaking to peugeot head office now.

Hamble Motors is one of those dealers/garages that should be avoided at all costs. Why? Their incompetence has cost me £270. Their attitude, especially towards women, is unacceptable by any standard. They still appear to believe women know nothing about cars or their parts. When I lodged a complaint with the Dealer Principal, his response was to ignore the complaint completely. It is no wonder the staff operate that same courtesy to their customers. Their website states, 'we constantly strive to exceed your expectations'. I believe the term artistic licence applies to their statement(s).

If you value your car, you will not take it to this dealership. If you are purchasing a new car, I suggest you choose one which at least shows some sign that they not only know what they are doing, but that they actually care. Hamble Motors gives all care dealers a very bad name.
