Not sure I've ever left such a poor review for anywhere, but cannot recommend SG Petch for car maintenance any less. In 2022, I was booked in for a 2 year service as per the manufacturer schedule. They changed it to a 1 year service without consulting me, and after I raised it they went ahead and did the 1 year anyway so I had to bring it back a few weeks later to finish it. Today, I was booked in for a 3 year service and MOT. I had a confirmation email, but it wasn't booked in properly and I wasn't on the list. I now have to spend a fortune on taxis so I can go to work on Tuesday when I bring it in again, and it'll take the whole day instead of just the morning. For the messing around, I was offered my MOT for free. Except my MOT was already supposed to be free after they messed me around last time. Now waiting for a manager to call me, which if previous experiences have taught me, won't be until next week. Additionally, I had to have a warranty repair and was messed around with when it would be ready. Every time I was promised a call, they wouldn't actually call. Spent the week chasing them up for updates and confirmation of a collection date. For my next car, I'll be choosing a brand that doesn't require me to use SG Petch as the only local approved centre.

Quoted £850 for a part that was perfect.that they insisted my car needed the RAC and a different dealer disagreed and job was.,£99 and car is perfect . Workmanship shocking and refused to see evidence or admit liability. A pod like the plague.

Stay a million miles from this company , customer service is zero just want to take your money and run , servicing is shocking , over priced and insisting parts are needed at huge prices a second opinion will tell you different use at your peril you have been warned .

Ryan helped me find a great first car and get it for the best possible price. I couldn't be happier. I got a Hyundai i20 and it is in perfect condition.

Over a month, 3 times booked it for a problem, 3 times over a month, they still haven’t completed the repair. Claimed they hadn’t ordered all the parts to suit the repair! Therefore having to return for the 4th time!
Bought a hyundai i30 4 weeks ago. Having been assured from the salesman the car was mechanically sound and that it had been checked over before I collected it. Just under 4 weeks and the mechanical trouble has started. After eventually getting a phone call back after leaving repeated messages. They said they'll fix it but will have to charge me. You might of thought they would of gone out their way a bit to keep a good review but no they didn't.
Booked my Kia Sportage in for second annual service, Done while I waited, Took time to examine bodywork before and after work after I explained a previous problem with damage by a different dealer. Highly recommended , I worked in motor trade 35 years and my Kia is my pride and joy, I'm not easily impressed by gimmicks, but these people were great. I deliberately don't let dealers clean my car, yes I know I'm odd .

Having bought a brand new Hyundai i10 five years ago from SG petch Darlington I have never had a problem and never once claimed on my warranty andreally love the car until recently when I booked it in for a annual service and mot I was billed £483 for repairs due to wear and tear when the car has only done 12000 miles in 5years this is not a good advertisement for the Hyundai i10 if it needs nearly £500 worth of repairs after 12000 miles absolutely shocked and stunned
