Great experience
I have been looking for a new car for my husband for a while I’m a massive Kia fan and just not found the car that fitted him in size and budget.
By fluke we went to ormskirk branch (was never a big fan from a bad experience when it was 06vauxhall). Saw a car that had just been part exed so within 5 minutes of it being handed over we test drove it and had it reserved.
We did continue looking but found nothing to compare so David Gore sorted everything swiftly and went the extra mile by sorting the alloys and even new number plates on it. My husband went to drop his car off a day earlier than he should as he’s impatient and David as he was so well organised had the car ready (luckily) and my husband was able to bring it home instead of a lovely walk home.
Throughout David and Trevor have been great kind caring and a bloody good laugh can’t relate them high enough!
Cherry on the top would have been a lifetime of free valets but you can’t have everything ! Thanks again guys one happy husband

Dear Gillian,
Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review.
I’m delighted to hear that, after your initial visit, you found the perfect car for your husband—and even more so that the whole experience turned out to be such a positive one for you both.
It’s great to know that David and Trevor looked after you so well, from getting everything sorted quickly to going the extra mile with the alloys and number plates. I’m glad everything came together smoothly (and just in time for your husband’s early arrival too!).
I’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to them—they’ll really appreciate it. And I agree, a good sense of humour always helps make the experience even better!
Thank you again for your support, and we hope your husband continues to enjoy his new car. If there’s anything you need in the future, we’re always here to help.
Kind Regards,
Nicole Butcher

Poor after sales
Poor after sales, receptionists very polite but no mechanic to be seen, they won't change a faulty 12v battery they say it is ok, Halfords and me disagree.

Just had a fabulous experience with Chorley Group Wigan branch. Spitted a car I fancied on line, on line chat agent aryan was really helpful and within minute I was contacted directly by the sales manager Lee who confirmed the car was available. I was then contacted by Tom the Sales Executive who invited me to come and view the car. I visited the same day, Tom was great and easy to deal with , he inspected my car - gave me a fair price and we agreed the deal. I returned the next day to complete the deal and pick the car up - the car was fully checked, valued and ready to go. Tom even sorted my car tax on line for me. Overall great experience, young Tom is a credit to the business - would highly recommend 👏👏👏

Avoid David Gore at Chorley Group Ormskirk
Signed contracts on 10 March with an agreed delivery date of 31 March. The car never arrived. When I chased, David Gore falsely told me the delay was caused by my failure to sign the paperwork — I had signed both forms on the same day they were issued, which is documented in writing.
The real delivery date had silently moved to 2 June with no warning, no apology, and no proactive communication whatsoever. When pressed for a solution, David offered nothing but vague reassurances that he would “monitor availability.”
It took a formal written complaint citing the Consumer Rights Act, the Misrepresentation Act, and their own Terms & Conditions — sent to four members of staff simultaneously — to get a resolution. To their credit, Regional Franchise Manager Paul Gaskell refunded my deposit the same day without argument.
The experience with David Gore was dishonest, incompetent, and a complete waste of my time. Chorley Group should seriously review who they put in front of customers.

Hi Leon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.
I’m very sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration this situation has caused. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, particularly around communication and keeping our customers informed.
Following your complaint, our management team did attempt to contact you by both phone and email on Wednesday to apologise and discuss a resolution. Unfortunately, we were unable to reach you. As you mentioned, Paul has since arranged for your deposit to be refunded promptly.
We do take your feedback seriously, and it will be reviewed internally to ensure improvements are made moving forward.
I’m sorry again that we were unable to resolve this to your satisfaction, but should you wish to discuss this further, we would still welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Garage damaged car during service, refused to fix it.
So, where do I start? Took my Nissan Juke in for a major service on Jan 26th. Paid £369 for the privilege. Reached home to find the rear parking sensor had been dislodged during the service. Reported it and took the car back in. They acknowledged the sensor became dislodged during the serviced but said I'd have to pay £300 to get it fixed. No accepting responsibility for the fault. Raised complaints with the main Chorley Group and Nissan. Got a call from the manager who said he'd arrange a spot for me to bring the car in but... crickets. waited until 16th March and gave them a 7 day ultimatum. No reply so got it fixed at a local garage for £45. Have now filed a claim with the Motor Ombudsman and will never service my car there again.
20/04/2026- So I contacted Chorley Group customer care after their offer to reimburse my costs. This was a week ago. They said they would ask the Management to contact me; but have not yet done so. Let's see how long this takes...

The team made me feel welcome, and were very helpful, and not at all pushy. Having agreed a purchase, there was a snag that took a few days to resolve, but I was given a really nice courtesy car to use. Many thanks to Tom for his patience and help.

Very disappointed from a loyal customer
I booked my car in for a 2nd year service. The price was £385! They said it was a major service. Change of oil and a couple of filters! On the bill it included labour at £180! The car was only in an hour and a half! While I was there they said they they had some amazing new deals. We decided to have a test drive in an mg3 trophy hybrid which we were quite impressed with. I told the young salesman that I qualified for the mg affinity deals which I had got on my last two mgs. He showed me the deals which were discussable, but when I looked at home later they were the same details on their website that were open to all customers? Do they not participate in the scheme? Did the salesman not know this?. However when they valued my car (mgzs1.0ltr) at £11600 I was shocked. When I questioned why that was a nearly 50% depreciation in two years was told they would have to service the car which had just been done that day! They then said because of this they would offer as a good will gesture £12000. I said that was not quite enough and left it at that. I later got a phone call from the salesman saying that if they offered £12500 would Ibe interested, Itold him maybe and he said he would ring me back. No phone call no nothing ! In the past Ihave used this company buying4 Nissan cars and 2 mg cars. Never again! I will use another dealer in the future

Dear John,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear about your recent experience.
I’d like to reassure you that we have fully reviewed this internally with the management team. The process on the day was followed correctly, and your vehicle was re-evaluated to try and strengthen the offer as much as possible. Following your visit, a further attempt was made to improve the part exchange value, however unfortunately we were unable to make the figures work beyond what had already been discussed.
That said, we completely acknowledge that you should have received a follow-up call to confirm this, and I’m very sorry that this didn’t happen. This has been addressed directly with the team to ensure clearer communication moving forward.
With regards to your other comments, we understand how important transparency is when it comes to pricing, offers, and valuations, and we will take your feedback on board as part of our ongoing improvements.
We genuinely value your previous loyalty to us, and I’m sorry this experience has left you feeling this way.

Please do not use Vauxhall Ormskirk
Please do not use Vauxhall Ormskirk. The dealer ordered the wrong colour specification, admitted the error, and is dispondent, processed an incorrect application and wont even give a final letter for ombudsman on headed paper so I have registered it and detailed all the evidence - Investigation is now in the process. Go elsewhere this branch only wants a sale.

Very positive experience for my third used car purchase from Chorley Group. Lewis at the Preston branch looked after me, explained the process well and took my vehicle in part-ex. I felt at ease, and was made to feel comfortable at the showroom. Nice clean toilets too.
A pleasant change from other experiences at rival companies 😀
