worst Iveco dealership in UK
I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the service I received from Guest Truck and van, Wolverhampton ( Bushbury road) on 25th September 2025 and in particular concerning what I believe to be substandard service and over charging / excessive payment in relation to my vehicle Iveco Daily reg: FJ18
On thursday 18th september 2025 at 08:00am, I brought in my vehicle for diagnosis of various lights on dash flashing ON and OFF (engine oil & airbag lights). was advised I would receive a phone call later with the findings. At 4pm on the same day I called the garage for a progress check, and was informed they had not looked at my vehicle and they would have a look at the next day.
Friday 19th september afternoon, when I called the garage I was informed that they still hadn't worked on my vehicle as they had been busy,I was promised that the vehicle would be worked on the following monday.
Monday 22/9/25 afternoon I called the garage again to check on the progress., I was informed that the vehicle had still not been worked on as they were very busy with MOT.s and other inspections and those had been prioritised.
On tuesday 23/9/25 afternoon, when I called the garage, it was the same story again, they said "they had not looked at my vehicle, however, there was a vehicle being looked at that time, and mine would follow" the lady said.
On wednesday 24/9/25 when I called the garage, they said they had found the problem with my vehicle and the technician was working on an estimated cost for repairing the vehicle and that it would be emailed to me for authorisation to order parts needed. After waiting for about 2 hours I received the emailed invoice. I called the garage questioning the charges,as I was desperate and frustrated being out of work and the loss of earnings for a whole week,I authorised the work to be carried out despite the charges. I was told they would check if they had the parts in stock (trailer ecu £408 remove and replace)and someone would call me back with the updates ( no one did) Hoping that the vehicle would have been repaired and I would be able to resume work I continued to wait.
On the 25/9/25 I called the garage. I was informed that the trailer ECU that they had fitted had not solved the flashing lights issue on the dashboard and that their electrician would be required to investigate the problem. I was informed the electrician would not be available until Tuesday or Wednesday the following week.
I asked Ryan, the technician manager, why they had changed the trailer ECU if that had not been the diagnosed problem to the flashing lights, He said that the ECU was already damaged and needed replacing at some point. I reminded Ryan that I had brought the vehicle in for the flashing lights issue and not future problems. He said that if I wanted they would remove the new ECU and refit my old one, bearing in mind that they had charged me £408 ( 2 hours labour to plug in one connector and unscrew 4 small nuts) for a part that had not solved the problem, I asked him to refit my old one as it wouldn't make a difference to my original issue.
According to the job card (533359) 4 technicians worked on the vehicle accruing over 5.5 hours labour charged at £155 per hour with no results to the issues.
I would appreciate a written response setting out your investigation and proposed resolution within 14 calendar days of receipt of this complaint. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will consider elevating the matter to IVECO UK Head Office and/or Trading Standards / Consumer Protection as appropriate.
I have attached the invoices and job card given with this email
Thank you for your attention to this matter
yours faithfully
I wrote the above complaint to Iveco and they have never responded back to since.
I ended up taking my vehicle to TRS vehicle centre, Stanton- by- dale DE7. they quickly diagnosed the the problem, they Removed and replaced battery
monitoring sensor on battery terminal that cost £87 and other little jobs curried out.
Iveco should refund my money as they wrongly diagnosed the issue and charged me for it.
