Nice car - Non existent customer services
Really impressed with the car after a test drive - felt like a lot of car for the money, so placed an order. That is as good as it gets.
We wanted to pay even a small deposit on a credit card, for protection... they don't have that facility!?
Went to collect a car, it looked more like a used car, with scratches, scuffs on the paint work and the interior and a dirty boot.
They said they would get this fixed, but I had lost faith, as a new brand they should be pulling out all the stops, and it made me worry about the bits I couldn't see, engine etc. So I cancelled the order.
It took a week to get back my deposit, and I have been advised by Santander that BYD haven't started the 'unwind' yet, even though I requested it 11 days ago.
There appears to be no solid infrastructure for the back office support/customer care, as the focus is on getting the sale - our money.
They need to put a lot more effort into the aftersales, as the car seemed really nice as a product, but selling the car is the 'easy' part, keeping customers happy and satisfied afterwards is where the real skill lies.
