What a terrible experience! My daughter recently purchased a VW T-ROC and part-exchanged her SEAT Ibiza. The dealership took advantage of a young woman, with little experience of buying a car from a main dealer. After a week of owning the car, I discovered that they had sold her part-exchange for £4000 more than they had given her for it. They persuaded her to fully MOT her part-exchange, which cost a further £300 out of her own pocket, so they didn't have to do it. Furthermore the car they had sold her was overpriced by a fair margin. Their sales tactics were one of manipulation. I tried to contact the Sales Manager, who initially ignored my calls. When I did finally speak to her (after 4.5 hours of persisting!) she basically said there was nothing they would do. I have escalated my complaint to VW UK, the Financial Services Ombudsman and the Financial Conduct Authority, to let them know that this dealership is ripping people off.

I came to the Kettering vw dealership, looking for my first car, I was greeted by a lovely women called Freya Williams who helped me out with all the paperwork and helped me get through each step to get my car helped me understand everything so I didn’t get confused, as it’s all new to me. She took out her own time to make me a cute starter pack and I couldn’t be more thankful for such a wonderful service. If I could recommend anyone to be your adviser it would honestly be her. 10/10 ☺️☺️

Superb and friendly assistance from Christian. The only niggle would be for the rep to tell the prospective purchaser of the time scale involved with the purchase of a motor from them. Twice I turned up (after getting a lift) with the intentions of taking the van home with me, but alas, no,not to be. I eventually got the docs fore my new van and am well happy. I even got a new van for the night while things were sorted. Fuck me, but that thing flew, flew like an eagle. Yonny.

On Monday morning I telephoned to ask for a test drive of an R-Line Golf, I arrived at the showrooms at 12.30 I was greeted by very friendly staff one of whom made me a cup of tea after my long drive from London The salesman Sam was with another customer when I arrived at the showroom, so the manager took me outside and showed me around the car, and allowed me to wait inside the car for Sam The car was sparkling clean and in immaculate condition. after a comprehensive test drive, I agreed to buy the car. I asked Sam if it would be possible to drive the car away on the same day, and Sam said he could do that for me to save me having to drive back again I would like to say thank you to Sam, his manager and all the staff I spoke with at Parkway Kettering for their fantastic customer service I got a good price for my trade in car, and now have a brilliant R-Line, I left the showrooms very happy Thank You

Something I just have to say. After my 54 years of enduring the tedious, perilous and sometimes aggressive tasks of dealing with "Sell by whatever means" car salesmen. I at last found a real gem in Christian Joudrey at Parkway VW Kettering. I have dealt with Parkway before and to be honest I was left with the very familiar mixed feelings regarding qualifying a fair deal with the pocket emptying 'burden' of impressing with a good quality part exchange/trade-in scenario. Regarding my fine and completed transaction with Christian at Parkway VW in Kettering, I knew without doubt from the customer ...with half a brain... point of view, the real value of my own trade-in compared to what I was interested in. I spotted the car I needed and called Parkway VW Kettering. The Salesman I was fortunate enough to talk to was Christian, whom I learned was a fine young man with a real passion for cars as myself. I informed him of the car I was interested in and also the car I was using for part-exchange. I had already calculated.... taking into account I was working with a dealership.... the very usable value of my own car to the dealership, compared to what I wanted from the deal regarding the car of my interest. I was prepared to take on the new car in a straight exchange as we all knew that my car was worth just enough more on the forecourt to make it a decent deal for the dealership also. Initially, the px offer was lower than I was comfortable with, but after listening to me Christian went off and had a chat with his superior for a few minutes and when he came back the deal was done. Has to be said unlike the previous Tiguan I purchased from Parkway Northampton, my new Caddy Maxi Life was prepped to perfection...ensured by Christian! I did not mention, but I was aware I had plenty of time on my hands to continue searching the country for the car and deal that would suit me, but I have to say that this deal was only done and completed because of one efficient down to earth and genuine person whom I had eventually been chatting to for 3 weeks, or so.... ....Big up to Christian Joudrey.... This is something I could never say for any of my many hundreds of car salesman transactions over 53/54 years!!! = 5***** for a long career flogging cars young man!!!

We recently bought a used car from Parkway Volkswagen and found them to be easy to work with. We were helped by Peter Mandalia who was informative, courteous and gave us time to consider the options, we appreciated not being pushed to buy any extras. Everyone we spoke to was very happy to help. Pleased with the car so far and if we do have any issues with the car we have no doubts they will be dealt with in the same manner the sale was
