Sales procedure

Update from the Manager has apologised and has now changed the process regarding buying a car from Howard's .so it would not happen for new purchased from Howard's group.

Very unprofessional service , visited site in Weston today , we were shown a car ,took it for a test drive,we agreed on a price with the salesman Inc all the extras with the car .
Me and my daughter waited 15 mins to be told the car was not available .in total I waisted a hour of my time .
I was so angry,Howard's have lost a £9000 sale .

Definitely will not 'keep you on the road'

We own two hyundais neither more than a year old. Recently something happened to the charging of the battery on our all electric ioniq 5. The resultant effect was for us to have to have the car recovered back to Howards in taunton. Obviously as the car is less than a year old we essentially expected some level of customer service. No. The reality is you can buy a brand new Hyundai, and within a year you may be left carless (with all the complications that causes in life) and then essentially blamed for something that to any reasonable or rational person is a warranty issue and should not be happening to a brand new vehicle.

Based on this experience we are now hugely regretting owning 2 Hyundai's, and can only warn that Howards have no desire to demonstrate even moderate customer service and not only will they certainly not be 'going the extra step' to help, they literally don't want to take any steps at all if they can avoid it!

I had a very helpful informative conversation with the Manager

I had a very helpful, informative and pleasant conversation with The Manager at Howards Kia Taunton about a 2 star review concerning 4 days needed to rectify a front sensor problem with my EV6.
It seems that in those 4 days a fault with the wiring loom was discovered, so the whole front bumper was removed and a section of the loom was replaced, and the bumper refixed. Then an additional problem with the Sensors was also discovered. The bumper was then removed again to replace all of the front sensors. If I had realised that scale of work had been done I would never have written the first 2 star review. I now believe that the only real problem was one of poor communication concerning what had to be done to my car.

Great service and customer care

Took my Yaris in for its service and MOT - the team were so friendly and helpful and Richard went above and beyond in terms of customer service and care. The car was cleaned, recommendations were explained clearly and thoroughly without any pressure to commit to advisories at this point.

My Honda Car Service

Their service is excellent. The front desk staff provide detailed information and explain everything thoroughly. They also offer a courtesy car and give live updates about the issues with the car during service, along with helpful suggestions. They were very patient and even waited for us when we were a little late returning the courtesy car

My 3008 has malfunctioned twice

My 3008 has malfunctioned twice; on both occasions, the car was either about to stop working or had already stopped working, and on both occasions, it was not possible to inspect the vehicle for over a month. The second most recent time, they tried to refuse to take the car when the AA recovery team attempted to deliver the non-functioning vehicle to them. My car would not drive, and they at first refused to take the vehicle. In 2 weeks, they have not managed to do even a diagnostic, and also have no courtesy cars available.
I have now raised a case with Peugeot UK, we will see what happens now, but I am not holding my breath one very frustrated Peugeot car owner

Excellent customer service

We had our Kia Soul serviced at Howards Weston Super Mare which required some follow up work due to a couple of warranty issues. The team were excellent. Very knowledgeable with what was required & made us feel most welcome. Pricing was competitive. Dan the after sales manager went the extra mile to ensure we were satisfied with the service we received. I would highly recommend this dealership and the people we have met there.
