Thank you for taking the time to share feedback regarding your recent experience.
We are sorry to learn that your experience was not a positive one and sincerely apologise for any disappointment caused.
As part of our ongoing commitment to monitoring and continuous improvement, we will now conduct a full review of the matter. This will include examining all available records, including call recordings and relevant staff feedback.
Once our investigation is complete, we will contact you with our findings and outline any appropriate actions or improvements to our customer service processes.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Please allow a few days for this review to be completed.
Completed investigation. 23.3.2026
We apologise that the new Vauxhall courtesy car broke down with you, the vehicle had onward travel with RAC if you had stayed with the car, but you left the keys with the supermarket, The car for this reason did not get to us for another 7 days as it was seen as a non priority as no onward travel requested.
To confirm you were only charged for the days that you used the courtesy car and this is a charge for the cars insurance that then gets uploaded onto the insurance motor data base.
For your car having covered some 14000 miles since purchase, when you actually came into us the last time, you were out of warranty but we did look at the vehicle and no charge was made for the technicians time, we believe that you having the car serviced (overdue) by another garage has cured the noise.
On your last visit you did speak with the Workshop Controller and he again demonstrated no noise.
We are sorry that you have left this review and you feel the way you do about us.
Wishing you all the best.
Wonderful from start to finish
Wonderful from start to finish. Sonny was very knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Had a previous negative experience from another dealer and Aston were an absolute breath of fresh air. Am currently driving a lovely Ford Focus from Aston and am throughly pleased with it. Thankyou Aston. Would absolutely recommend.

Terrible and irresponsible
Had my vehicle serviced with Astons in both 2024 & 2025.
When used for the first time since the service, the vehicle broke down. The vehicle was recovered to Astons and was there for a week. Diagnosis was the cam belt failing, which was inspected during the service.
I had to pay over £800 for a replacement, as well as recovery and hire vehicle costs.
A week later, the vehicle was back with garage, the new fault being linked to the cam system, although I was advised it had nothing to do with the previous issue. Another £110 paid to get my vehicle back.
I raised a complaint about the whole issue and a few things came to light. The cam belt was due for replacement by age after 6 years. The vehicle was 5.5 years old at the 2024 service and 6.5 years old at the 2025 service. Neither time was the belt recommended for replacement per manufacturers schedule.
Additionally, Astons themselves admitted the belt was not properly inspected during the service the vehicle had just received.
The dispute is ongoing, but currently Astons are not willing to compensate for their errors and the upset and stress they have caused, despite accepting liability.
Update after the reply.
Just for added background, I have bought many cars from Aston's over a period of roughly 25 years, definitely eight cars purchased, could be more without double checking.
When my previous husband commited suicide in 2012 I was left with 2 cars, neither suitable for my needs. I went to Astons and they could not have been more helpful at the time, giving me part exchange for both towards a new car, and I was so very grateful for their help, I honestly didn't know what to do with the cars, as you can imagine, I was not in the best state and they really did go beyond what was usual or expected for a company to do at the time.
So when my last car needed changing, I had no hesitation going and buying a car from them over 2 years ago, I even purchased an ongoing monthly subscription for a MOT and Service plan at the time. This is still being taken by direct debit as we speak, because I understand what a contract means and I signed up for it so it gets paid, for all its currently worth. I am locked into continuing to have work done by them, and I have no faith left, which is a very sad state after all of these years and considering how well things have been in the past, I am honestly quite disappointed.
I have been treated badly by them and they are washing their hands of me.
It's not a measure of how things are when they're good but what happens when things go wrong that they should be judged.
Thank you for reading.
Update on the update.
As I understand it, aston's have said they will only now look at the practices they provide, after I made a fuss, not before. This is no help to me and will only be of help to others if anything is actioned.
I will be continuing to update this review as things progress after my report to The Motor Ombudsman. Retail Motor Industry Federation and from citizens advice to report to trading standards.
Big corporations should not be able to take advantage of little people and sweep them aside when they have been found to do wrong.
I am very happy to accept whatever independent ruling is found and from what I understand, reasonable doubt and common sense would already prove that this should not have been able to happen, that's how things are decided impartially.
As to the communication email I received, there was no signature on it so noone to refer back to, it was riddled with inconsistencies and seemed to be written by someone who had no idea of this case, very happy to share proof of this.
The service plan is a contract that, having double checked, will incur a penalty if cancelled. It's strange how rules can be changed or bent to suit when it favours them.
Thank you for reading

Thank you for your review. We are genuinely sorry that your recent experience has caused you stress and frustration — particularly as a valued customer. This is not the standard of service we want our customers to have.
We understand your concerns regarding the timing belt, subsequent fault, and the costs you incurred. As discussed with you directly, we accept that we should have more clearly presented the timing belt replacement as an option based on the vehicle’s age, and we are reviewing our service processes to ensure these age-related recommendations are made more consistently in future.
Following inspection, the issue your vehicle experienced related to oil system contamination and a blocked strainer, which is a known risk on wet belt engines and is not identifiable during routine servicing where no oil pressure faults are present. While we appreciate this does not lessen the inconvenience you experienced, it is important to clarify that the secondary fault was not caused by the belt replacement itself.
For clarity, even if the timing belt had been replaced at the earlier service, the sump and oil strainer would not have been removed under routine manufacturer procedures where no oil pressure concerns were present. In those circumstances, the subsequent blockage issue could still have occurred, as the condition is not visible without prior symptoms.
These engines operate with a very light grade oil, and over time small belt particles can collect in the sump. The engine is fitted with a strainer to prevent these particles circulating, but if the strainer becomes restricted, oil pressure can drop and warning lights can occur. When your vehicle was serviced, there were no oil pressure faults or warning indicators present, so routine servicing did not involve sump or strainer removal. When the warning light later occurred, the strainer was fully blocked, and the repairs carried out followed manufacturer guidance.
We did carry out additional work at no charge as a gesture of goodwill and have provided full explanations via email during the course of your complaint. While we understand you remain disappointed with the outcome, the matter has been reviewed at management level in line with manufacturer procedures.
We truly regret that your experience has left you feeling dissatisfied and we are using this case to improve how we communicate service recommendations and preventative options with customers going forward.
Update;
We truly do appreciate the long history you have had with our business, and we are sorry that this situation has left you feeling disappointed after many positive years. Your loyalty over such a long period is not something we take lightly.
We are pleased to hear that our team were able to support you during a very difficult time in the past — that is exactly how we hope customers feel they are treated.
Your service plan is not intended to restrict you — it is cancellable, and if there is a remaining balance this can be refunded. The plan is designed to reduce servicing costs by spreading payments and typically represents a significant saving compared to pay-as-you-go servicing. If you would like to discuss this, our reception team will be happy to help.
We do want to reassure you that you are still regarded as a valued customer. We regret that this experience has changed how you feel about us, and while we understand you may remain unhappy with the outcome, we are always willing to assist you in future should you choose to return.
No interest in customer care once paid
The car was due to be delivered on the Tuesday but unfortunately Astons truck broke down. We were told it would now be a week at the earliest before we could have it re-delivered. This caused considerable upheaval as our own car was contracted to be collected that day. Too bad. We then had a call from sales to say the invoice was wrong and we had underpaid by £200. The advert had long been removed so we had nothing to argue with, other than a text to say ‘don’t worry about the figures on the invoice’. The car arrived on the day we were going on holiday, so could not check it over until we returned, as it was very dirty due to trailer delivery. On inspection we found a door to be a poor fit. We brought this to sales attention, with pictures, but did not even receive a reply to the correspondence which they did receive. It would seem once you’ve paid they have no further interest in you. Delivery guys were first class

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to read this and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused.
The delay to your delivery due to the transporter breakdown was an unfortunate situation, but we fully understand how disruptive this was — especially with your own vehicle collection arranged the same day.
We are also concerned to hear about the confusion regarding the invoice and the £200 balance, along with the message you received about the figures. This is not the level of clarity or professionalism we expect, and we will be investigating this internally.
In addition, your comments about the vehicle condition on arrival and the door fit issue are taken very seriously. You absolutely should have received a response to your email and photos, and we apologise that this did not happen. That is not acceptable customer care, and we are reviewing why your correspondence went unanswered.
We do appreciate your kind words about the delivery drivers, and we will pass that feedback on to them.
Please be assured that this matter is now being looked in to. We would like the opportunity to review the vehicle concern and discuss this with you directly to work towards a resolution.
Update;
Firstly, we apologise for the lack of response to your previous email. Unfortunately, the salesperson you had been dealing with has since left the business, and regrettably your message was missed during that transition. We are sorry for the frustration this caused.
We have now located your email and reviewed the photographs you sent. From the images, we are unable to clearly see an issue; however, as your vehicle is brand new, any concern that falls outside of manufacturer tolerances can be inspected and addressed under your new vehicle warranty.
We would recommend contacting your local authorised retailer, who will be able to assess the door alignment and make any necessary adjustments if required. Should you need any assistance arranging this or providing supporting information, please let us know and we will be happy to help.
Further to your comments regarding the £200 balance, we have reviewed the deal file in detail.
There are multiple invoices on record as the order has been amended, and we appreciate this may have caused some confusion, particularly as the deposit amounts shown differ (£200 and £305). We are continuing to review this internally to understand why the paperwork reflects this.
Although the original advert was no longer live at the time, we did provide screenshots of the vehicle’s pricing history, which shows there was only ever one advertised price for the vehicle.
We have also checked our records and are unable to locate any messages stating “don’t worry about the figures on the invoice” in relation to the invoice figures.
