"New Fiat 500C"

I visited Wilson’s of Epsom in the hope of purchasing a new Fiat 500. I can honestly say it was the best experience I have ever had of purchasing a new car. Mick and Fraser went above and beyond to accommodate me, resulting in me picking up a new car in March! I would highly recommend a visit with Mick. Positive, polite, can do attitude was above and beyond what I ever expected.

3 weeks ago I went to Fiat Wilsons with intention of buying new fiat 500 electric convertible car after spending 2 hours in showroom reached a deal, including my car in part exchange.The salesman discussed the agreed price etc with the manager and we shook on it. I paid £500 deposit.The next day I received an email saying they had made a mistake and I would have to pay another £2500.00 or cancel the order.I could not believe it.I would never buy another car from this dealer and felt totally angry and disappointed.Their customer service was awful.

Very surprised at the poor reviews. Bought a Toyota RAV4 from Wilson’s. Dealt with Bob Choudhry and subsequently Gary Lambert. Yes, on the drive home from the dealership the car developed a fault. However I was to far along towards home to drive it bank. Phone calls to Bob and csr was collected and my old car returned to use whilst they sorted the problem. Was kept up to date with progress and a few days later the car was returned with no issues. They even called the next day to make sure everything was ok. My experience was a really good one despite the fault. That may have been due to the sales people I dealt with. Thank you Bob and Gary. Rita LIMA.

Resolving issues

Purchased a mid range family car in Jan 2020 - Renault Scenic - great car at a good price, but that's where the good news ends. A number of faults were noticed within first week, all sorted except the most troubling, which was a series of dashboard indicators notifying that there was a variety of problems with the brakes and to seek immediate garage attention. Photographs taken as evidence, but no comment from Wilsons. Wilson's Service Dept. checked it over using computer check, within warranty, but claimed nothing untoward was found. Problem continued and despite several attempts to contact someone at Wilsons to advise and possibly return vehicle, no clear person was identified to focus the complaint against. Instead, I was offered to return the vehicle to the Service Dept. for a further check twice - all with the same outcome. Then the first lock down happened and so resorted to seeking the contact details of David Wheatcroft the CEO of Wilson's Epsoms. Case was picked up later in the year, no acknowledgement of the fault, offer of recompense. To add to my shame, I visited Wilsons 5 times in the home of selecting a car and further hoping that they would do the decent thing and add a further £500 discount to the part exchange. Gave up after the last time when I had arranged a test drive of a Volvo XC60, only to be told that they did not have sufficient sales people to follow through, even though I had received an e-mail confirmation stating what time to attend. Have since purchased a BMW X3 from Cazoo - completely different experience. If Mr Wheatcroft wishes Wilsons to be a competitor in the future then he ought to ask himself what he needs to do to rectify his business model. As a loyal Wilsons customer for many years and having purchased several vehicles for myself and family, I'm easy to win over. So why I am I so thoroughly disgusted with the service received. It's not enough for your staff to be polite - you have to deliver the goods at the end of the day.

Let me start by saying this place just wants your money........ I went to Wilson’s in Epsom To purchase the new MG car which we saw on autotrader the car was practically brand new and only done 930 miles anyways me and family drove down to the showroom in Epsom and dealt with two gentlemen one who’s name was nick and the manager who’s name was Hugo anyways long story short after sign off on the paperwork and we were told they need to prepare the car which will take them 4 days which I said was fine... after 4 days I rang them up to find out what was happening no body returned my call.... until the six day to tell me it will take them another 4 days finally the day of collection of the car made me wait for an hour to collect car and gave me one key for the car how can a car almost brand new have one key.... I told the manager this is not right the car is almost brand new and this is not on anyways he said it is what is it is . They did not explain how anything works in car as they do not have experience with MG and I should figure things out myself and let them know. I was really annoyed at the lack of customer service I got from them. They lie to you and don’t return your calls. Avoid this dealership. Even I wanted to a copy of the application when you transfer ownership from DVLA they did not ring me back and finally ringing them a dozen times they told me they have sent in the post and have not done the change owner online which I never believed them because they did my part exchange vechicle online..... Full of lies they do not tell you the truth.....

Bought a car start of March, 3 weeks later service mate came on even though I was told it was being serviced before I’d buy the car. Found out from another Renault dealership it was actually serviced in December, not great but not the end of the world. The real problem is trying to get an answer, spent two days waiting for a call back, which never happened. Finally decided I wanted an answer got pushed pillar to post only to end up talking to Renault Epsom (same estate). My call was transferred to people I didn’t even buy a car from… even the advisor wasn’t sure why they transferred the call to me… guess who got it resolved the dealership who had no idea why I was passed around, the dealership who I didn’t even buy the car from. That’s embarrassing in my opinion, seeing the various reviews online and different websites I’m begging to see why they’re struggling to hit even near a 3 star review.

We purchased a car at the asking price during lockdown. Given it was only 9 months old, had the dealership as the first owner, and the Covid restrictions, we opted for an online purchase after seeing a video. The car arrived with a completely worn, unsafe no-name replacement tyre (not Michelin as all the others), 1200 more mileage on the clock than supposed to, a service due shortly, and scratches on the middle console. The guy who delivered it only shrugged it off. Wilsons didn't reply to my complaint that followed for two weeks, allowing the time to return it to pass. Upon numerous calls and emailing yet another department they offered to pay for the tyre replacement and the service. This was the absolute minimum, no compensation for the excess mileage. This reflects bad practices, terrible customer service, and a poor purchase experience to say the least. They do as little as they can or less.

I paid £370+ for a MOT and major service recently. I knew it was overpriced but decided to go back to where I bought the car from because I believed they'd be more trustworthy than local garages. When they returned the car to me, it was in a much worse state than I had left it. I wasn't happy that after spending so much money they hadn't even bothered to vacuum it. I was told that due to covid, they couldn't enter the car, even though they had to enter it to drive it into the garage. The fan belt was noticeably noisy and the heater know couldn't be turned to the cool setting. I therefore had to take the car back on a second occasion for them to fix this. I was told that "as a gesture of goodwill" they would replace the fan belt without charge. As I told them, before I left the car at Wilsons there was no problem with the fan belt or heater. The manager told me that they both must have broken due to wear and tear during the few hours that it was with them, denying that his mechanics had touched it at all and saying it was all a coincidence, even though I strongly doubt he witnessed his mechanic st work. They fixed the fan belt, 'no charge', and told me that they would fix the heating system using my warranty. Given that they caused this problem, they should not be misusing my warranty in this manner, and question if this was essentially to ensure they don't lose money for their errors, i feel. The car was returned to me (now have to make a THIRD appointment to fix the heating system) only to find that the de-mist button for the back window doesn't work properly (the button can be pressed, but doesn't come out). This is very poor service in every respect.

I need to buy a new car as mine had broken. They made me put down a £500 deposit that was NON-refundable. Due to COVID and losing my job I was unable to purchase the car. No refund given.
