Beware! There may be hidden issues with your car and if there is, the service team will not resolve or even respond. I bought a car recently (31st August).On driving it home I found under the foothold mat a square cut out of the carpet. Also 2 warning lights pinged up on my drive home. I immediately notified the sales man Liam, who did nothing with the information. I then contacted the service team member Amy, who agreed it was unacceptable and promised to sort all issues.She advised to find a business nearer to me that can fix the carpet and to speak to the warranty company about warning lights. On contacting companies about the carpet repair they advised it is a bigger job than first thought to replace. This is because the carpets are all one piece in newer cars. I have called spoken to John, the service manager, and advised this. also backing it up with emails. I have never had a call back, response to any emails and now they don't even pick up the phone. My trust in them and the car they sold me is broken and I have requested a full refund and to return the car now. Still waiting for an response or action from this firm. The cherry on top is they charge a additional fee on top of the asking price to service and check the car is ready for you to go on the road and this does not include taxing the car for you it is literally just to service and check it is all good. Which they clearly didn't do.

I recently stopped by Eddie Wright Car Supermarket in Scunthorpe to check out a Toyota Prius. Mark, the salesman, confidently assured me that if I bought it, it would be like new. We took it for a test drive, and while I was interested, I still had other cars to see. So I asked Mark if the deposit would be refundable in case I found something better. Now, despite his 11 years of experience, he still had to "check with his boss." After 45 minutes of being charmed by two eloquent gentlemen—who made it sound like they were running the best dealership in the galaxy—I decided to pay the deposit. Somehow, during their grand speech about being the best in the universe, I forgot to press harder on the "refundable deposit" question. Lesson learned! It was only after I paid the deposit that I noticed the car had mismatched tyres—one even had a torn side. When I pointed it out, Mark casually shrugged and said, "It passes the MOT," as if that was supposed to make me feel better about dropping £21k on the car. After the deposit was in their hands, his attitude changed to "tyres are tyres"—no replacements coming, apparently. Within two hours, I called to cancel and followed up with an email. Their response? “No refund unless you buy another car from us.” Ah, the classic "no money back" trick. I didn’t lose £200; I invested it in a life lesson: Don’t trust easily! So, to anyone thinking of buying from Eddie Wright – tread carefully! Their transparency seems to show up after they’ve taken your money.

My husband and I recently bought a BMW Hybrid from Eddie Wright, assisted by Lewis. However, on the day, he failed to show us the two charging cables included in the video we received prior to collecting the car. When we checked the boot, neither cable was visible, and we assumed they were stored in the underneath compartment. Unfortunately, only one cable was there. After a few weeks, while arranging a home charging point, we realised the 3-pin cable was missing. Expecting Eddie Wright to resolve this, my husband contacted Lewis several times by email without a response. We also called multiple times, either not reaching Lewis or being assured he would call back, which he never did. We then asked to speak to his superior, Jonathon. The conversation was accusatory, as if we had lost or lied about the missing charger. I suggested checking the onsite CCTV to see if a workman had removed the charger, but Jonathon said it had probably expired. He agreed that Eddie Wright should take responsibility for not checking or showing us both cables and proposed a 50/50 purchase of a replacement cable. Reluctantly, I agreed. He assured me I 'had his word' he would call back to confirm this after speaking to his boss, Richard. After two weeks, I had still not heard back from Jonathon, and so called Eddie Wright again. Jonathon said he had been on holiday and had no note to call me back. He told me that his boss, Richard, did not agree with the 50/50 arrangement and would not contribute towards a replacement cable. I was told I could email Richard if I had a problem with this, which I did, with no response. I trusted this company to be professional, as it is plastered all over their marketing material that they 'provide first-class customer service.' Our experience certainly doesn’t reflect that. We had other issues too - Lewis assured us that the car tax was in the lower bracket, but after purchase, he admitted it was in the luxury car tax bracket, costing us £500+ a year. The car also had minor imperfections that my husband had to ask to be rectified before purchase. We love our car, but will never purchase from this garage again. As soon as they had our money, they treated us poorly. If after-sales service is important to you, look elsewhere.

From entering the showroom we were impressed,Gary talked us through the layout of the forecourt of cars for sale. We walked around all cars available to open which was very useful to view. We narrowed it down to two which we test drove and made our decision. Gary navigated us through our options of purchase and gave us a excellent deal on our trade in.Nothing was any trouble he answered our endless questions which put us at ease.Our day of pick up went smoothly and we drove away very happy. Big thanks Gary will not hesitate to recommend the company and yourself.

Long and the short of it bought a car in January for £16k all good excellent salesman happy with purchase. Forward less than 2 months later issue with car phoned Eddie Wrights took car in to be sorted and got it back a week later and with a nice dent on front wing . Well that's where the customer service came to an abrupt end , after more than a week of calling them and getting fobbed off with we'll phone you back never did I must of phoned them a dozen times . So I gave the RAC a ring who the warranty is with turns out they claimed for a window motor on my warranty which wasn't what my car was in for . The RAC are going to investigate it meanwhile I'm seeking legal advice . As they say buyer beware 😏

"awful experience"

An awful experience and had to make a Court Claim against them. I bought a Ford Mondeo in June. Sales team was excellent. Very prompt and quick to wrap up a sale but the after sales team was a very different story. Within a few days of buying the vehicle we discovered a few faults with it. Battery/Electrical issue, Key blades missing from the key fobs and the assisted boot opening was not working properly. On top of this, after inspection by a Ford Garage it transpired that the vehicle had been involved in some kind of accident. As the car was only bought a couple of weeks prior, I asked for the vehicle to be taken back and this was denied by their team manager Carl. He insisted that he would get the battery issue fixed. At the time I wish I had insisted and taken the matter further. Following the battery replacement to the expense of Eddie Wright the issue was not sorted as the car was still draining power. We contacted them again and they made another car appointment at a Main Ford Garage. The day before my appointment, I called the Ford Garage who had no record of any appointment. I then contacted Eddie Wright again who made another appointment at a different Ford Garage. I had to wait 4 weeks without the use of my car. Eddie Wright made no offers of help, nor did they even apologise. Unfortunately, by that time, the legal 4 weeks to return a car was expired. Although I had a request made in writing to the manager Carl, they denied having any evidence of this. Due to the issue with the electrical fault and the missing key blades I had to find a Car Locksmith to open the vehicle at a cost of £180 which I paid. Eddie Wright agreed to refund us the key blades. I called 2 to 3 times a week chasing for the payment and send them multiple emails, but they never responded. After 2 months I gave up and filed a Money Claim Court. The money was then quickly refunded to my account when the claim court was received by them. I left multiple messages to the General Manager, Paul Hutchinson, who never returned my calls and emails. Tried to contact the directors of the business by telephone and emails but again no response. Not even a single apology for the issues. Today, I am still left with fault on the vehicle with the Automatic Boot Opening failing to close properly. I am very upset of my experience with this company and their after-care team is very poor. I wish I had not bought a vehicle from them. On their website they proud themselves in delivering highest standard but that is very untrue. The General Manager and Directors could not care less of my issues. To date, I am still awaiting from a call back from the General Manager. I am currently in communication with a solicitor about the illegal deny of returning my vehicle within the allotted time.

"DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!"

Resolving issues

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!!! Unfortunate I have to put at least one star! I bought a car in January, I had it 4hours when the gearbox dangerously broke. They also force you to write a review while in the showroom buying the car, meaning they get their bonus but don’t believe the reviews ask people who have dealt with them because I found that out the hard way. I had loads of problems throughout dealing with the company. The admin assistants spoke badly about me when they thought they’d put the phone on hold. My car was STOLEN by a technician and driven to his house when it was deemed unsafe to drive. I was not asked permission and he then drove my car at 63mph through a 30mph zone as I had a tracker in the car. The car I purchased had a scratched mirror which took months to be replaced although they said they would do this before I picked it up, the SD was fake for the satnav and just played music, there was no manual although promised, the car was not serviced when I was given paperwork to say it had been. The car went to two different garages as Eddie Wright couldn’t repair the car, they lied about the whereabouts of the car. The car had a new mechatronic unit, auxiliary pump driver, new gearbox, software updates and then both the keys stopped working. The GARAGE LIED to my finance company when speaking with them and I have proof for this. You’re constantly lied to and false promises, they refused to collect the car to fix it so I had to use my own recovery. The car was meant to be taken to a garage, I had been receiving phone calls asking where it was so I rang Eddie Wright asking why it wasn’t there and I was told they couldn’t locate the car. I gave them a timescale to find the car or I would call the POLICE. Apparently someone had taken it on a test drive without informing anyone but the worker proceed to scream down the phone at me. In my ownership the garage had the car 96 days when I had it 106. They gave me unsafe courtesy cars, such as drivers seatbelts not attached, smelling of smoke, no batteries in the keys and ILLEGAL bald tyres. They have put me in a terrible position, I’ve been without a car for two months and I’ve not had any apologies. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! DO NOT GIVE THESE LIARS ANY OF YOUR MONEY!!

I will try to keep it short as people get bored of the essays. Bought a Range Rover Sport for £24k, 10 days in terrible noise coming from the suspension Eddie Wrights (EW) said take it to a local garage they found. Bill was £1700, EW unwilling to pay so said the would collect. The courtesy car the provided was a Golf, within 24 hours there was a horrific knocking noise coming from the front wheel, I reported it to EW and parked the car up until they returned mine – 4 days without a car. I advised the car was undriveable and not road worthy and would need recovering, a chap turned up to return my car and take the courtesy car away, he was not told there were any issues and I told him not to drive it as it was dangerous. 1 mile from my house a wheel flew off ripping up the side of the car, luckily no one was in the way of the loose wheel otherwise there would have been serious injury. Had my car a further 2 weeks and the noise from the suspension came back along with a suspension warning light, called EW and they said they would collect when I got back off holiday. Returned from holiday and more lights and warnings came on, told EW it was urgent now and the car couldn’t be driven. EW collected car, dropped of an 11 plate Seat that looked battle worn, service light on, light warning for side light not working, rear wiper didn’t work, CC didn’t work and shook violently when going over 60 mph. 4 days in I ran in to the back of a car at traffic lights, rear end so my fault I thought until the recovery vehicle pointed out the stat of the rear brakes, chunks missing from disk, calliper not working. Told EW, by this point I’d had enough, 3 cars 2 in a state of dangerous disrepair and 1 multiple faults, requested a refund. Refund refused plus they asked for £1000 excess for the Seat, told them no chance, had the brakes inspected at MOT centre, confirmed brake were shot plus 1 tyre worn to cords, one worn to slick, one tyre had chunks out. At this point they waved the £1000, refused the refund and returned my car – 6 days without a car. When the returned the car the suspension was at different hights so I told then fault not fixed so take it away. Called the infamous Jon (never in the office, cant answer emails, just in a meeting) and told him I want a full refund, he refused said the car was fine and now as I had refused it I would have to go and collect it. Utter disgrace. I’m going legal and reporting them for unsafe practices

I write this review in total despair and with no malice to the dealer, however, buyers beware when relying on advice on a car's history from a dealer. I purchased my Land Rover Sport in January 2022 for £29000, not a cheap car, I bought the RAC platinum warranty and Financed it through NOVA Finance. I have kept the car serviced MOT'd and in good condition. So this week I decided to sell the vehicle and purchase a new car, I was selling my Land Rover through the Motorway platform, so I get a price of £19433 estimated at auction, and I was okay with this. Today I receive an email from the motorway people advising me that they cannot sell the car as a VCHECK marker has revealed that the vehicle was sold for salvage as stolen/recovered but was NOT listed as an insurance write-off. The HPI check is useless as they do not do these checks for salvage cars or taxis. I never heard of VCHECK until today, it's more in-depth than HPI. It tells you the true history of the car, and lets you know if the vehicle was used as a taxi! Having been advised of this, I rang the dealership today, and the dealership believed that the HPI is sufficient and NOVA would not finance the car if there were any issues. I have called NOVA and lodged a complaint, I am massively going the be disadvantageous by this revelation, I told them I would not have bought the car if I had known its true history. I urge anyone, to do in-depth checks, the cycle of complaints has started with NOVA and I look forward to months of worry, I'll keep paying the monthly payments now knowing that I bought a salvage car, to stop paying will mean poor credit report on top of devaluation on the vehicle. I advise anyone to make forensic checks when buying, no matter what, who and where. This is a valuable lesson learnt and left me feeling sick to my stomach.

Peter Machesney in response to Feel sick to stomach, dont trust on HPI

If you originally purchased the car from a dealer it is then up to them to check the history. You should have a full claim and refund of the original price.
