Absolute disgrace of a company
Absolute disgrace of a company, after a recent investigation to following was determined by Big Motoring World:
Good Afternoon
Thank you for your email and for your patience while I’ve been investigating your complaint.
I am writing to let you know that I’ve completed my review of your recent complaint.
Your complaint
My understanding of your complaint is:
You have purchased a vehicle, tesla3... , from our Big Motoring World - Sheffield branch on 03/06/2025.
You are dissatisfied with the sales process and your experience of the purchase.
You felt as if the sales representatives were forceful with trying to sell you products, and you had advised on a number of occasions that you didn't want them.
When you collected the vehicle it had not been valeted to a good standard, and when this was raised to the staff at our Sheffield branch you were dismissed. You have noted that a substance has been smudged on one of the rear passenger seats.
The central locking settings had also been changed to give an inappropriate sound, which you had to remove yourself. In addition to this, the driver's front wheel trim rattled, which had not happened the day before.
You would like a refund of the admin fee that you have paid, as you do not believe that you should have been charged for this on top of the vehicle's price.
You would also like our company to cover the cost of a full valet at a company of your choice, as you do not trust one of our branches to carry out a valet to a high standard, and a sum of compensation for your dissatisfaction.
Finally, you would like coverage for the replacement of the damaged wheel trim.
My findings
I would like to apologise for the concerns you have raised with your vehicle and for any frustration and inconvenience caused by this matter.
First and foremost, please know that we take all customer concerns seriously, and we are committed to addressing them in a timely and effective manner. Your satisfaction is of the utmost importance to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to work towards resolving any issues you may have encountered.
I must apologise for the conduct of our sales representative and that you had felt pressured into accepting terms that you had little knowledge of at the time. We understand that it is crucial that our customers are provided with sufficient time to read and understand any and all of the terms and conditions that they are signing for, as the policies will affect them directly. Circumstances such as yours, whilst negative, invite our company to review its practices and the quality of customer service provided, and constantly search for areas of improvement within our business models. I can assure you that your concern surrounding customer service will be an important part of ensuring that our sales representatives will consistently look to improve the service they provide to our valued customers, making certain that the needs of our customers are put first. Please also be advised that the decision to purchase any products rests entirely on our customers, and our representatives are present to explain and demonstrate our available products.
I must also apologise for the condition of the valet and for the central locking concern you have raised. Whilst I am pleased you have been able to rectify the central locking concern yourself, I am sorry that you have needed to raise both concerns with us. Please note that we have passed all of your feedback across to the relevant persons who will investigate these concerns further and implement additional procedures and/or training where required. Any feedback provided both positive and negative is imperative to us as a business as this helps us grow and develop as a company.
Please be advised that as we have not been able to review the evidence for your concern regarding the your vehicle's driver-side front wheel trim, we are unable to assist further on this. I must also make yourself aware that we do not look to offer monetary compensation as a result of any inconvenience or stress caused, as per our company policy. As well as this, our admin fee is compulsory to be paid by each customer - the reason for the admin fee is for all the administration tasks in order to process our customer's deal and purchase of the vehicle.
We understand that this may not have been the response you had hoped for, and I sincerely apologise that we are unable to facilitate your request for assistance at this time.
Kind Regards,
A.L.
