The service received was first class

The service received was first class, I reserved 2 cars to view Carla had them ready for me to view as soon as we arrived. She answered all of my questions and arranged a test drive as soon as I had decided the car I was interested in. A most pleasant experience and I'm now the proud owner of the car of my choice.

Highly committed and strongly recommended

I recently took possession of my vehicle and had a positive experience with FOW. The sales advisor, Sienna Steele, provided exceptional service from my initial inquiry. She was consistently enthusiastic and thorough in addressing all my questions, which was particularly valuable given that I was purchasing a car from a dealership located several hours away. Despite some delays after the booking, the team at FOW, including Sienna, maintained open communication and provided status updates even on her days off, an effort I greatly appreciate.

Following the booking, the vehicle presented some technical issues. FOW demonstrated a strong commitment to vehicle quality by proactively replacing the necessary parts at their own expense, adhering to manufacturer recommendations, which ultimately included a part replacement. This dedication is truly commendable and significantly enhances customer trust in the dealership's commitment to its clients.

Staff members very professional in the way they handled the purchase of our new Zoe, explaining the various funding options and getting a preliminary acceptance from a finance provider. Valuation of our part exchange Zoe was reasonable from their valuation system, but also a manager did an actual inspection and increased the valuation. We actually decided against the finance option and self funded, changes quickly made and transaction completed. Thanks to staff for their assistance.

After Sales Service

Just a little update to my previous review, I discovered a few little problems with my car which I had recently purchased from FOW after a health check at my local garage, nothing too much main thing a leaking shock absorber which I felt should of been dealt with as it was serviced before I picked it up. Approached the aftersales team, they requested a few more details and a quote from my local gagrage as I requested I would like the work to be carried out by them. Quote was duly accepted, work authorised all in a couple of days, payment was swift. Very happy with how I was treated and in the manner the problem was dealt with.
Things don't always go quite as smoothly as you would like, so now knowing FOW have this in place would give me peace of mind in returning again to them.
Big thank you to Aimee who dealt with my case.
