Today I went to pick my omoda up that I had been waiting 4 months for. The guy in question who dealt with me, was Aiden grey.
His customer service was second to none.
After signing some documents he then took me outside to my car and went through everything I needed to know to get me on the road.
Highly recommend this guy

Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Lorraine!
We’re thrilled to hear that Aiden Grey provided second-to-none customer service at Chapelhouse OMODA & JAECOO Southport while handing over your Omoda. It’s wonderful to know he took the time to guide you through everything and made sure you were ready to get on the road confidently.
We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Aiden. Thank you for your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!
Really good customer service
Really good customer service - Gary (and the rest of the staff I spoke to!) was friendly, helpful and just really lovely . He explained really clearly how everything would work re finance etc and he knew I was keen to get the car asap so he really pushed it through and I had my new car less than a week after first going into the showroom!

Very pleasant experience
Very pleasant experience, visited to have a look at an Omoda 5, Nathan handled our experience in the showroom, he was very polite and well spoken, was not pushing for us to sign or agree to anything on the day which was a positive, let us take our time and look round the car and took us on a test drive, was very knowledgeable about the car and all the tech inside.
Will more than likely be returning to finalise an agreement.
Overall a very good experience and would recommend

We’re delighted to hear you had such a pleasant experience with us at Chapelhouse Omoda & Jaecoo Southport while looking at the Omoda 5. It’s great to know that Nathan provided a relaxed, pressure-free environment, gave you the time to explore the vehicle properly, and shared his knowledge during the test drive.
We’re pleased you felt comfortable throughout the process — that’s exactly how it should be. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Nathan, and we look forward to welcoming you back when you’re ready to finalise everything.
Get everything in writing.
My daughter has been in dispute with this company for over 12 months. Been through the ombudsman which was a waste of time as they don't understand engine problems and the internal damage done when diesel gets into the oil. Chapel house Warrington lied to her and me from start to finish. The sales team from top to bottom seem to suffer from memory loss following our conversations. Buyer beware. Will never use this company again go to a reputable company

Thank you for sharing your experience, Kevin.
We’re very sorry to hear about the ongoing issues your daughter has faced with her vehicle at Chapelhouse Suzuki Warrington. The concerns you describe regarding miscommunication, unresolved technical problems, and the difficulties you’ve encountered with our team fall far short of the standard of service we aim to provide.
We take feedback like yours very seriously. I would strongly encourage contacting our Customer Experience Team directly on customercaresuzuki@chapelhouse.co.uk with full details of your case so that it can be escalated immediately to senior management for review and resolution. Your concerns deserve urgent attention and a proper response.

Thank you for sharing this, Gary.
We’re very sorry to hear about the way your situation was handled by our team, including the response from Emma Kingston at Chapelhouse Suzuki St Helens. It’s completely understandable that being blamed and given a minimal response after your previous issues would be frustrating and unacceptable.
This matter will be escalated immediately to senior management so they are fully aware of the ongoing communication issues and the way your case has been handled.
We sincerely apologise for the repeated stress and poor communication you’ve experienced.
Avoid Chapelhouse Southport Service Dept
My car was booked in for a service and MOT under a Service Plan (that I was pressured to buy last year as the only way Ainsdale branch would honour the free MOT for life which I can see from other reviews I am not alone). Car dropped off before 9am. Asked for it to be ready before 3 if possible. It was literally a catalogue of errors from beginning to end. Report and video sent about 1pm with actions needed. Details on report contradicted video. Phoned them to ascertain what was correct. Parts ordered and told car would be ready same day. Shortened version of events was endless calls to Chapelhouse. Wrong parts received. Had to order again. Called for payment without knowing if the works were complete. More calls. Close to 5pm and still no guarantee the car would be ready which I needed for work the next day. More calls. Eventually received a call to confirm the car was ready. Log book and MOT complete. Paid over the phone after more calls as issues with card machine. About 10 minutes later I received another call to advise that the MOT was not done and I would have to bring it in again! I had taken a days annual leave to sort the service and MOT and was not prepared to take another day. It was agreed that they would collect my car the next day from my place of work. I received a call in work the next day to say that they were outside ready to collect the car. Actually they were outside my home address. Work day disrupted. More inconvenience and stress. Another call when they eventually arrived at the correct address! The whole scenario was stressful and completely unacceptable from a reputable company. After-sales was even worse. “Customer satisfaction is incredibly important to us”. Maybe the Group Head of Aftersales (SM) needs to be made aware of this statement and abide by it. Numerous calls and emails that he did not even have the courtesy to respond to. Last email took over 2 weeks for an acknowledgment after more phone calls. Responses were condescending when received. Needless to say I would not recommend the service plan nor will I be returning after this runs out next year. I am astounded as to how the business remains operational with such low standards of customer care.
Latest update is again no response. I contacted Chapelhouse on Wednesday to discuss over the phone as suggested. It is now Saturday. Still awaiting a call back. I was offered a complimentary Air Conditioning service previously as way of compensation for a £600 service plan that has failed to deliver which I have obviously declined. Another failure in customer service.

We are genuinely very sorry to hear about the difficulties you experienced with the service and MOT at Chapelhouse MG Southport. Your experience, from the repeated miscommunications and incorrect parts to the repeated disruptions to your day, falls far below the standards we strive to provide, and we completely understand your frustration.
We take feedback like yours extremely seriously, particularly regarding the lack of timely and respectful communication from aftersales. This matter will be escalated to our Group Head of Aftersales to ensure your concerns are reviewed and addressed appropriately.
If you are willing, we would appreciate the opportunity to speak directly with you to fully understand the situation and explore any way to make this right. Please contact our Customer Experience Team at your earliest convenience so we can work on a resolution.
We are truly sorry for the stress and inconvenience caused and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.
A happy daughter
My 23 year old daughter wanted a Suzuki Swift and had seen a blue, ‘23 reg. low mileage example on the Chapelhouse website. Having been offered what amounted to a derisory ‘deal’ at the local Bolton showroom, we travelled 45 miles to cash purchase the car from Suzuki Southport, where it was actually based. Apart from having to ‘chase’ the salesman a couple of times - phone calls weren’t always returned - and the price was £100-£150 higher than l would have liked, but didn’t haggle as hard as l was minded to do as my daughter wanted the car (my fault therefore?), l was generally happy with the service l received.

We’re really pleased to hear that your daughter found the Suzuki Swift she wanted and that, overall, you were happy with the service at Chapelhouse MG Southport. It’s always a special moment helping someone purchase a car they’re excited about, and we’re glad we could be part of that.
That said, we’re sorry to hear that you had to chase for callbacks and that communication wasn’t as consistent as it should have been. We understand how important clear and timely contact is, especially when travelling a distance to complete a purchase. Your comments will be shared with the team to help us improve.
We hope your daughter is thoroughly enjoying her Swift, and we’d be delighted to welcome you both back in the future.
New Jaecoo 7 Chapelhouse
We bought our new Jaecoo 7 PHEV at Chapelhouse in Ainsdale. Initially Phil the manager looked after us and took us out for a test drive and then Dan took over. The whole process was very smooth with constant communication and updates from Dan. He was very helpful but not overbearing and supported us throughout the process and made us feel that nothing was a problem. Because of this my son is now very interested in buying a car through this dealership.

Free MOT for life?????
Tried to book my car in for a MOT and service, was told the MOT would cost £45, when I pointed out that I had a free MOT for life certificate from them they said it was no longer valid and I would have to pay. Needless to say I will take my custom elsewhere. I have been a customer of theirs for several years.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m really sorry for the frustration this has caused — especially as a long-standing customer. I completely understand why being told your Free MOT for Life certificate was no longer valid would feel disappointing and confusing.
This isn’t the level of clarity or service we aim to provide. The Free MOT for Life scheme does have specific terms and conditions, but these should always be explained clearly and respectfully, not left to feel like a surprise at the point of booking.
We’d genuinely appreciate the opportunity to look into this properly for you and review what’s happened in your case. If you’re open to it, please contact our Customer Experience Team directly on customercarewiganpier@chapelhouse.co.uk with your vehicle details and certificate information, and we’ll make sure this is investigated thoroughly.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — it helps us improve, and we do hope we can restore your confidence in Chapelhouse.

I would highly recommend Chapelhouse in Southport. I have bought two cars from this place (both Jaecoo 7’s). The service has been fantastic from both Danny and Aiden. My first purchase with Aiden was quick and informative, the whole process was very smooth and I was updated regularly on where my car was up to. Everything was explained to me clearly and I am very happy with my purchase. The following week I came back in and ordered another car with Danny, again I cannot describe how smooth the whole process was and how friendly he was when speaking to me. All my questions were answered and everything was done at a time convenient for me. I have no doubt this is by far the best place to go car shopping in the area and if you want a smooth and stress free process then come here.

We arrived without booking at Chapel House, Wigan Wallgate, with our Mazda 2, bought days earlier at Chapel House, Warrington.
The offside rear stop light had just failed.
Within 30 minutes, it had been repaired, and we were on our way!

AVOID SOUTHPORT SALES TEAM !!!
The sales team in Southport are totally useless ! Not interested in selling you a car even when you are stood right in front of them.
They rarely answer the phone and are always confused and unenthusiastic.
The whole sales staff in Southport need to be sacked and replaced asap they are seriously letting the brand down !
Note to management; Sack them all ! you can not be this desperate for good sales staff.
