I had to wait just over two years for our Rapido van conversion V68. During that time I found Tim Dickson in their sales department to be very helpful. Tim forwarded emails he received from Rapido with regards to my order. Nothing seemed a problem for Tim, even when I constantly changed my mind on specification, and equipment. He always got back to me even outwith working hours, and when he was on leave. The van was supplied to me in perfect condition. I also had several dealings with Keith at their service dept. Keith was excellent, friendly, open, and honest with myself. I had ordered reversing sensors and Keith contacted me to advise against this. He felt they were extraneous, due to the fact the van came with a reversing camera. Most companies would simply have done the work, and taken the profit. Dicksons also carried out a warranty repair to my old van, even though I had bought it from elsewhere. To date I have not reported any issues with the new van, and I suppose you really can’t fully judge a dealer until you see how they deal with any issues. But I am confident that any issues I may or may not have will be handled well by them. Would I recommend Dicksons, well from what I have seen so far absolutely, and I sincerely hope and believe my opinion won’t change. Tim and Keith in my opinion are excellent to deal with, attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable. Many thanks for all your patience.

Visited Saturday 24 September, I have a budget of £100k as I am due to retire and I am looking for a motor home, I was looking for some advice about the stock they had, I was greeted by a very old obnoxious little man who quite frankly was not interested at all, he was very negative, I think he thought I was just doing a nosey, how wrong he was, I asked about a van they had in the warehouse building, he did not even want to take me to it and explain about it, he more or less told me to go away, which I did, having read the reviews I am glad, very very unprofessional, I will now seek a more reputable dealer who is grateful to make a sale. I travelled 90 miles each way, what a waste of time 👎

My parents were due to pick up their new motorhome on the 5th June, after agreeing part exchange of old one and paying a deposit. Phoned to arrange collection a couple of days before but told parts only just ordered! Still to go to workshop. Someone will call with new date - no one did! They dont reply to email or calls, you are always chasing them. Very unprofessional and poor service to not contact to explain the delay. 11days later told workshop will be in touch but still no timeframe. On asking for their deposit back, my parents were told not untill the salesperson returns from his holiday at the end of the month! This company is disgraceful, mis-selling and taking money falsely.

I bought a Motorhome from Dicksons of Perth and trusted them what a mistake that was. Got to be one of the worst companies selling Motorhomes. Just wish I had read the reviews first. Chris has a answer for everything but unfortunately not the right one. Not interested in helping with any problems you have only interested in taking your money once they have that forget customer care. Would I buy from them again, NOT A CHANCE.

Arrived at Dicksons. First of all attacked by a dog which jumped up at me headbutting me in the nether region it was running freely as was one of the salesmens. Salesman approached eating a sandwich sorry short staffed, said look at what you want thats open the closed ones you need to ask for a key. Spent small bit of time looking when returned to inside showroom lights turned off asked if we could get keys to look at a motorhome very abrubt answer we close at 4, the time was 3-40 !! Will never return to this garage very unprofessional and ignorant salesmen. Will be buying elsewhere.

We bought our second motorhome from Chris Dixon and we’re told warranty work no problem! What a complete lie that turned out to be. We cannot get anyone in Scotland to deal with the problem in our van, either too busy or too big a job. Elddis keep referring us back to Dicksons and Dicksons refer us back to Elddis. Shame on you Chris, you are lucky we are not returning our van for a full refund, there are consumer rights. One thing is for sure, you won’t be providing our next van. Would;d not recommend that you buy anything from this firm.

Bought a new Auto Sleeper Broadway, waited a few weeks for pre delivery checks to be done. Which wasn’t a problem We agreed with John our salesman, who was terrific, we would collect her 11am on the Tuesday, John phoned while we were on our way, to tell us he had to go elsewhere to collect another van but Tim would collect us and drive us to the showroom, all good, Tim came for us and couldn’t have been nicer We arrived and hung about a wee while before being told, our van wasn’t ready, and we should go for lunch, thought they might pay, no chance We again had to phone Tim who collected us from where we were having lunch, went back to the showroom, where, Chris when he came off the phone, immediately asked “how are you paying”:card machine in hand eh! I said I would like to see our Motorhome first considering we hadn’t seen it for 7 weeks, he took us through to the back where he left us to go over her When we went back through, again “ Chris asked how are you paying” which we did, the Auto Sleeper was brought round and we were handed the keys bye bye My husband asked to be shown controls etc, which was a quick run around lasting all of 5 minutes again bye bye To cut a long story short, we had problems when we took her out, no hot water, no heating Phoned the service department, thank goodness for Nick, he had her in within 24 hours, showed us how everything works and took time too explain My faith in Dicksons was restored

In June of this year we paid a substantial deposit on a caravan that Dicksons of Perth had for sale. They accepted the deposit and told us the caravan wouldn't be ready for 4 weeks We accepted this and waited to hear the delivery date when we contacted them again after 4 weeks we were then told it would be another 2 weeks.When this two weeks expired we still had no caravan and no contact at all from Dicksons We told them we would take the caravan as it was and they promised delivery the following Monday. No caravan was forthcoming and no contact from Dicksons whatsoever. We then contacted Dicksons yet again and were told there was a problem with the caravan and was going to take up to 10 weeks. Obviously by this time my husband was a bit irate and demanded the deposit back whereupon Tim Dickson said he felt a bit intimidated although there was no threatening behaviour whatsoever We were then faced with another very rude salesman who used very aggressive behaviour to my husband who IIs 70 years old and he was sticking his face into my husbands face only 2"from my husbands face trying to prompt my husband to hit him. My husband then walked away and sat in the car whilst I went in to the office to arrange a refund from Tim. Although we then received the refund after two days we were treated dusgracefully as this was a cash sale If we had not received the refund promptly after two days we intended to return to Dicksons with the Police because of this other salesmanship aggressive behaviour. However we got our money back after waiting nearly 6 weeks and arranging a holiday which we had to cancel. The Customer service is disgraceful and to threaten a 70 year old is absolutely shocking. I owned the Grange Hotel at Balbeggie also my own business would never have treated a customer the way Dicksons treated myself and my husband. They obviously have no sales experience and just talked a lot of garbage to fob me off. Anyone who is thinking of buying from Dicksons beware. Lies from them from start to finish. However we purchased a caravan with another dealer and drove away with the caravan the same day delighted. Beware ............Mr.and Mrs Scott

Dicksons from Dicksons Of Perth in response to Disgraceful service

In response to this review. We had a date which I have confirmation of that the caravan was due to go out on 01/08/2021 which was a week after the customers came into the office. Unfortunately we had a covid outbreak where the workshop had to close for 10 days for all our staffs safety. This 10 days delay unfortunately had a knock on effect for all customers motorhomes and caravans which were due to go out. The customers were aware of this. We were going to allow this to go out with a gas safety check to help the customers out however on doing this we found out this we found out the control unit had failed so a new one was to be put in. So there would be the standard 10 day delay due to the virus after trying our best to move the goalposts for the customer we could not release the van with nothing working. As the customers came in the husband came in and starting shouting towards Mr Dickson and squaring up to him in the middle of the pitch with other customers in view. Mr Dickson explained the situation but to no avail. Unfortunately the husband was not calming down, one of the sales staff had to step in as for Mr Dicksons safety only to try and calm the situation where the customer showed more threatening behaviour where our admin lady could hear this confrontation and was ready to call the police as we have this all on CCTV. A refund was offered with no hesitation from the get go. After Mr Dickson had to go and take 10 minutes before appearing due to the aggressive behaviour of the customer. He then appeared to do the refund with no hesitation to the customers wife. His wife was very apologetic of her husbands behaviour, who said “you should try living with him” in meaning her husband, all we could do was console the wife and wish them all the best with the new caravan which they were getting privately which would not need to go through the checks which a dealer would need to do. We are very glad the customers managed to get a van. There was mention of 10 weeks in the above review which is another false allegation. Without the workshop closure the van would have had every chance of being ready but unfortunately COVID does not reason with anybody. In the end after the behaviour of the customers we are glad the customers managed to get a van elsewhere. We are very sorry the van would have been delayed I wish there was something we could do to have pulled the rabbit out of the hat but customers safety is paramount and we would not be prepared to release a van without all the relevant electrical and gas checks with a new control panel consumer board needing to go in.
