I found the dealership very helpful. Service was good. I purchased a new Toyota Ago X from main dealer at Gallows corner Romford. The sales man Akbar Ali was very good and polite, helped me with all buying process. He is very professional. Recommended. Ausra

To Whom It May Concern, Subject: Dispute Regarding Payment and Service Issues I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the unsatisfactory service and lack of communication I have experienced at your dealership during the repair and maintenance of my vehicle. These issues have caused significant stress, inconvenience, and financial burden. I am seeking clarity on whether these problems arise from individual errors or systemic shortcomings. Summary of Events and Issues 1. Initial Diagnosis and Warranty Discussion Upon bringing my car in for repair, I was informed that the catalytic converter was faulty. I specifically inquired whether the repair would be covered under warranty.The customer service representative stated, "We don’t know; we will put the part first, take pictures, and then send them to Toyota."I made it clear that I would only proceed if the repair was covered under warranty, as the quoted amount (£2,700) was unacceptable.Confusingly, subsequent repairs for an A/C gas leak were covered under warranty, while the catalytic converter repair was not. This inconsistency undermines the transparency of your process. 2. Appointment Delays and Poor Communication I received an email requesting that I bring the car in on October 16, 2024. Upon arrival, I was informed that the part had not arrived, and the appointment was rescheduled for October 24, 2024.I was told I had been notified via a phone call, but I did not receive an email, which would have been a more reliable method of communication. 3. Misleading Paperwork and Warranty Dispute On October 24, I was presented with a document for £2,055 to sign. Believing this was standard procedure (as I had previously signed similar documents for inspections without charges), I signed in good faith.After the repair, I was shocked to be charged £1,855, with the explanation that my warranty was "voided" due to a gap in service history.This critical information should have been disclosed before proceeding with the repair. Had I known, I would have opted for a local workshop, which quoted £500 for the same repair. 4. Inconsistencies in Warranty Application The A/C repair was eventually covered under warranty, but the catalytic converter repair was not. This inconsistency raises serious doubts about the integrity of your warranty assessment process. 5. Service and Billing Concerns During a service on September 6, 2024, I was charged £205 for air conditioning maintenance, even though the system was functioning perfectly prior to the service. Since then, the air conditioning has not worked properly, with one side blowing hot air while the other side blows cold air. Subsequent repairs resulted in both sides emitting cold air.This issue rendered my car inoperable for taxi services for three months, during which I incurred insurance costs and other expenses without earning income.Despite repeated visits to address the issue, it remains unresolved. Each time I was assured the problem was fixed, only to be informed later that additional parts were required. My car has spent multiple days in the workshop without resolution.I have also not received an invoice for the air conditioning repair conducted under warranty, despite repeated requests. This raises concerns about transparency and justification of charges. 6. Customer Service Issues A staff member, who identified herself as "T," wasted two hours of my time with unhelpful responses and failed to address my concerns adequately. Her dismissive attitude and lack of resolution only added to my frustration. Impact on My Work The unresolved air conditioning issue has severely impacted my work as a taxi driver. Customers have complained about the extreme temperatures in my car, and some have refused to travel with me. This has resulted in significant income loss, compounded by the financial burden of ongoing insurance and maintenance costs for a car I could not use. Requested Resolutions Refund: A full refund of the catalytic converter repair charges (£1,855) due to the failure to honor the warranty and the lack of disclosure about the service history gap.Compensation: Reimbursement for time and expenses wasted due to the prolonged air conditioning repairs, including: Travel expenses incurred during seven visits to the dealership.Compensation for income loss of £200 per day over the three-month period when the car was inoperable. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will escalate this matter further, including seeking legal advice and filing a formal complaint with relevant consumer protection authorities. I hope to resolve this matter amicably and promptly. Kind regards, Aamir Suleman.

Time wasters advertised car was not as described or as phone conversation, when challenged and asked if they would bring it up to standard they refused and the whole experience was pushy and horrid. They should be ashamed, when I asked for the manager they said they are busy you have to go through us sales guys.....

I have been sending emails to this dealership since the 4th of August &. No one has got back to me. The history is I’ve been a customer for over 40 years & never had a problem until now due to the fact that they messed up my MOT & Service. I had pre booked a collection & delivery & received my reference number but the dealership decided to cancel it & inform me the day before that I had to take the car in which is NOT what I had ordered, the girl that I spoke to was very rude & went on to be very disrespectful. The whole experience was dreadful. I have had to take my car to a private garage local to me but by doing this I have missed out on my extended warranty. I have sent emails to every possible contact & have still not had a reply from anyone. Total disgusted .

I visited Toyota on Monday 7th August Thawid, was very helpful, polite and informative in showing me the Corolla & Yaris. I was hoping to have a test drive in one of the above cars and Thawid was going to come with me. However, I am a retired woman and I was on my own but his manager was unsure about letting me have a test drive for some reason even though I have a full driving licence. I was very disappointed in that decision and it put me off dealing with Toyota & I moved onto Honda who were very obliging and considerate and let me test drive a vehicle. However, I could not fault Thawid’s informative help and guidance.
We booked a week in advance to come in to Steven eagle Toyota Romford to discuss a new vehicle as our current lease was coming to a close. on arrival we were seated and offered drinks which was a good start and told a colleague would be with us for our pre booked appointment shortly. 40 minutes later a Chris sits down with us advising that its a busy day and he has two more customers also waiting for him. he asked us what vehicles we were interested in ( CHR or Yaris Cross) and was immediately told we could expect to pay double for a new lease without taking any details from us. ( i literally mean the man didn't even ask us what car we currently had).. after getting him to take our details he convinces us that the Yaris cross was out of the question and showed us a white Toyota CHR at the back of the lot that was filthy, damaged and soiled with bird poo in multiple places. we eventually had to be asked to be seen by someone else because the service we got from chris was plainly appalling and offensive which we respectfully explained. we were then passed on to robbie who did a much better job and we test drove his CHR as the one on the lot had a dead battery due to being there for so long but we were very happy with the way his Purple CHR drove so we paid our deposit and agreed for our vehicle to go to workshop to be prepared for collection the following Friday with promise of a phone call on the Thursday as he was going to be off mon - weds. we didn't hear from him on thursday so followed up today and the team are all over the place. we have been told we will get a call back from robbie today but i am having doubts about going with this specific dealership. will update on how it turns out. 23.06.23

Excellent
I have just upgraded my Toyota Corolla to a Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid- and from start to finish the service has been fantastic. I dealt with Oli Haque who has been amazing. He spent so much time with me, making sure I was comfortable with everything and generally making me feel relaxed. This is my first automatic car, so it took a bit of getting used to. The after sales has been, and continues to be great. Oli is very prompt at replying to any question I may have, and I feel extremely well looked after. I will stay with Toyota Romford for all my future car needs! Than you Oli!
Happy with sales team. Helpful and funny at the same time. I’d recommend dealership to friends and family.
