New Omoda 5 owner.

I have recently purchased an Omoda 5 having been a long time VW owner. So far I am impressed with the car and its safety features. Sophie Morrice was the Sales Executive I dealt with and she was very helpful and efficient in helping me decide on this change to a new brand. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this dealership.

My first interaction with this company was very disappointing. Trying to get a quote for an Xpeng is like squeezing blood out of a stone. Sales personnel not very efficient.

brilliant after sale service

I was met on time which is more than other nearby Kia garage.
the dealing with Richard Osis was extremely frank and I bought the car there and then.
when I discovered some cosmetic damage to the rear light when I returned home, I made him aware immediately. he came back after a couple of days saying that they could not see it in their videos and records therefore he would change the part under the warrantee. I was very pleased as I did not expect it.
he sent someone to pick up the car (twickenham) and left me with another car and the following day I have my car back. difficult to fault their service.

Unsatisfactory conclusion after routine service

I had the car in for a routine service. It is expensive compared to what the internet said was an average service cost. They also tried to upsell me things not required for this car (engine), e.g. diesel fuel additive. And the air con sanitiser I did for myself for less than half the price. The car is usually vacuumed and it wasn't. Then 7-days after the service I checked the oil level and it was half full. I called PC and they said this is normal. I'm 64 years old and in 42-years I've never had a car come back from a service with the oil other than nearly full. This is reiterated by the internet. I also have a panoramic sunroof and the VW workshop manual says it should be serviced every 2-years. The car is 4-years old and this wasn't offered. So all in all, not the greatest experience.

Worst experience I have ever had from a retail business. Called up multiple times about an ongoing issue with a vehicle I bought only 3 months ago and was then hung up on multiple times by the service manager and told there was no complaints procedure when I asked to make a complaint. When I then asked who the dealership was regulated by I was told they had more important things to do than speak to me and was laughed at and hung up on again. Terrible service, terrible dealership and terrible build quality in general on Jeep vehicles.

Great experience

Lewis at Peter Cooper, Hedge End was a delight to deal with on the purchase of my new Kia. He didn't give the hard sell, was polite and professional. It was a pleasure doing business with him and Peter Cooper.

Software error - charged for a diagnostic as its not in the warranty, but told by 2 service staff i wouldn't be billed!

I purchased my car from PC hedge End in Feb 25, its a great ID.3, I love the car, but the service from the business is sooooo poor. I previously wrote about a software issue that caused my vehicle after purchase to effectively go into limp mode. It took them 3 days to sort the update out and i was chasing for comms back from them. This was eventually resolved. Unfortunately i encountered a further issue of another failed OTA update, i spoke to someone on the phone who mentioned the diagnostic charge of 125+VAT but said as i had extended warranty not to worry. Today when i went to the service appointment at 8am, i spoke to the same advisor who was so bad last time and she informed me that i wouldn't pay for it unless it was due to water ingress or me fiddling with it. At 11am i received a call to say it had been resolved but the health care check revealed i had 2 bad tyres so would i like them replacing. I said yes please and the advisor said that wouldnt take more than 30 mins. At 1300 having not heard a thing, I walked down to the garage and was told they had not started the work yet and were on lunch. but it would be done by 1430 and they apologised. On completion of the work i then viewed the bill and observed i had been charged the diagnostic fee!! i queried this and the service advisor said that it didnt cover software updates, at which point he said put it this way it took 4 hours to update and we only charged you an hour ( i mean how stupid is that) I must now query that if it fails an update again its 2/2 now, am i going to be charged it again? If so i would like to return the vehicle. I would avoid this place the after sales are terrible.

the email address you have asked me to send in to doesnt work
