Absolutely shocking service from the service department!!! Cannot express how bad it is and emphasise how important it is to not take your car there for repairs! My car has been in on 2 occasions for the same problem and still not repaired. £700 later with the same problem it started with. I am shocked and discusted at the customer service received from all staff members I dealt with. As far as I am concerned these technicians are not up to scratch with Mazda cars. Do not take your car there. Today I also received a sales letter from them stating my mot is due. My mot has never been done there and the date is out by 7 months!! Something else you can't get right Furrows. Not one positive to mention about my experience. Do not take your car there for repairs.

I got a used car from furrows. On day of collection I found the inbuilt bluetooth wasn't working. 3 days after collection we had a frost and found the heated rear windows were not working correctly. I reported the problems. 7 weeks later after repeatedly contacting Furrows Kevin Evans told me they wouldnt fix the window because I couldn't prove it was broken on collection and glass was not covered under the warranty. I would recommend not buying a car off them without inspecting every inch of it. Basically treat them as if you were buying it off some random person.

Terrible customer service from Furrows Of Shrewsbury, specifically asked them for a final price on a repair to my car which they wouldn't provide, had to get Mazda Head Office involved and straight away I had a call back from Furrows with a price of £700. I told them not to go over this or replace anything else without contacting me first. A few days later I called to ask if my car is ready, the final bill is £1100!!!!! They had replaced other stuff without asking, if this wasn't bad enough they were about to do some other work which would of added £200 more to my bill. I dealt with Steve on the phone who is front of house and the guy just just kept repeating himself over and over again and none of the information was useful. I was saying how angry I was with the extra charges and that they didn't contact me and he was trying to sell me on this extra unnecessary work!!! After a lot of complaining they dropped the price back to the AGREED price but they caused me so much hassle. Hannah is one of the girls on the front desk and she was just as bad as Steve to deal with, Honestly the point of these people is to provide customer service yet they cant seem to answer basic questions like how much will my bill be or when can I collect my car!!! They both come across as rude and like they don't give a damn about helping you. This is why I hate going to car dealerships, they are pretty much all the same but Furrows Mazda of Shrewsbury takes bad customer server to a new level!

Dealership Information

The History of Furrows Ford

The history of Furrows is an interesting one and in fact, the company’s name emerged from taking the Ford Franchise in 1918 and becoming a Ford Tractor dealer so Furrows, as in ploughing.

The original home of Furrows was Benbow House in Coton Hill, Shrewsbury, which was the original home of Admiral Benbow, and was purchased by Mr M.Davies in 1906. The name changed to ‘The Shrewsbury Garage’ and even today, Furrows’ premises on Harlescott Lane is known as The Shrewsbury Garage. The original Shrewsbury Garage had problems with flooding from the nearby River Severn, like much of the county town besides the river, and the garage's location meant that in the days before flood barriers there were regular soakings for both staff and vehicles alike.

The garage began life as an agent for Swift, Sunbeam, Studebaker, Briton and Arrol Johnson cars. By 1913, however, Mr Davies ceased to offer Swift and Studebaker and instead he turned to De Dion, Darraq, Star, Maxwell, Marathon and Argylls. It is worth noting that Mr Davies also operated his carriage-making company, Mountford, from the same site and it was during this time that Mr Davies also began making the Shrewsbury bicycle.

In 1918, Cyril Harrison Watson acquired the premises and when granted a Ford franchise, he created Furrows Ltd as Ford manufactured and selling tractors at the time. Furrows of Telford opened at the Haygate road site in 1963 and moved to the Haybridge Road site, on the site of the old Haybridge steel mill in November 1994, however is was not officially opened until July 1995 after the Texaco forecourt was finished.

Oswestry followed in 1964 opening in Salop Road before moving to the present Whittington Road site in July 2003 followed on the 25th October 2005 when the Shrewsbury dealership moved to its new larger premises on Harlescott Lane.

As mentioned before Furrows have been Ford Dealers since 1918 then in 2003 the Mazda franchise was added followed in 2004 by the Kia Franchise and in 2005 the Škoda franchise was added giving Furrows customers a wide and varied choice of new cars and light commercials in a range to suit all needs, and finance.

As well as keeping a large stock of the latest new vehicles at Furrows we also keep a large selection of quality used cars and light commercial of all makes at competitive prices with a commitment to give the customer the very best in service.

Even if you have not bought a vehicle from us Furrows can look after all your motoring needs with our service, accident repair, parts and tyre departments all backed with award-winning customer service covering Shropshire and the surrounding area at Shrewsbury, Telford and Oswestry.
