Jeep bad service and calling their customers LIARS

Jeep very happy to be charming when you are spending £60,000.00 - £70,000.00 on a new Jeep but when there is a problem the customer is a liar and they have no interest in helping you or answering your requests to speak with a Director of the company to try and get issues resolved. Our new Jeep has issues with the drive bushes, drivers seat, petrol cap, missing part of the interior. Have spent 4 days and many hours going backwards and forwards to Tunbridge Wells from Greenwich. There is no account for my time yet Jeep charge over £250.00 per hour plus for their time, its absurd & rude. We have all experienced this inequality in business today as the customer; the customer is not first, they are beyond last. We have tried to be charming and polite but Jeep have been rude and crude and called my wife and I "liars". It is such a shame to be treated this way, though it seems to be the norm nowdays. Court action might be the only language these business people understand!

Hi Paddy, we are sorry to read this review. I have asked the Service Manager at Tunbridge Wells, James Bailey to investigate this and have the below response:

I’m sorry you’re dissatisfied with the service you’ve received. I would like to start by saying, no one has called you or your partner liars. The issues you raised with your vehicle were investigated over the course of a week and unfortunately were unable to be replicated. We cannot test your vehicle indefinitely. Our workshop controller went out for a drive with you and your partner, and by your own admission, the fault was not there. If we cannot replicate the fault, we cannot diagnose and fix it. Thames Motor Group is a franchised Jeep dealership, therefore we need to be able to provide evidence to Jeep in order to claim anything under warranty.

We are not disputing whether or not there is an issue, however with no evidence we cannot proceed. Our labour rate is £192.00 per hour all inclusive. Despite being unable to claim anything under warranty, we have not charged you for the time we spent investigating your complaints. We would normally charge time taken for claims not covered by warranty, however as there is no evidence either way, we only felt it was fair to not charge you. You are welcome to get a second opinion from any other Jeep dealership. Or if you can replicate the issue, we can assist further.

If you would like to discuss this further, please contact James Bailey on 01892 549766.

What great service from start to…

What great service from start to finish. From our first contact with Sam Mudge, it was an absolute breeze. Sam was polite, helpful, informative and was the consummate professional. All timescales agreed were kept to and the car was on our drive within 5 days from the initial contact . Top job and highly recommended , thank you Sam

Total professionalism and quick responses

From the first contact re my new Fiat 500e cabrio I couldn’t fault the professionalism, quickness and patience shown to me throughout the entire purchase procedure and delivery to my own front door.
Sam Mudge the sales exec bent over backwards to help, even working on a Sunday. Always replied to my emails and phone calls promptly, often by return.
Top marks! Huge thanks!

Abarth 695

Bought a new Abarth 695 over the phone after speaking with Sam and it was the easiest car purchase I have ever made. We got the car delivered as we are not local and Sam made sure everything ran smoothly, I couldn't fault anything. I would 100% recommend using Thames Motor Group, even if you are not local.

Picked up my new car today

Picked up my new car today, Sam made everything so easy and stress free! Honestly couldn’t fault him at all, everything that needed to be done was done and I was kept up to date! If anyone is looking for a new Fiat I certainly will be recommending him, thank you Sam.

Great Customer Support

My first contact with Thames Fiat on a while-you-wait service. All staff friendly, courteous and helpful which made for a great customer experience. The car was returned in apple pie condition!

Fast and helpful

I called in wanting some help getting my new Fiat 500e connected services set up. I didn't purchase my car from this dealer (but they are my closest dealer so will be the go to for future servicing) but they were still super happy to help me get set. I got a call back the same day after speaking to reception, and Rosie got me set within a few minutes on a call. Flawless ✨

Superb customer service - faultless buying experience

If you value customer service and appreciate prompt communication, I highly recommend Thames Motor Group. Paul couldn’t have been a more helpful sales rep or a nicer guy to do business with. This is a company that doesn’t disappoint and goes the extra mile to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Service from Sam Mudge

Exceptional Service from Sam Mudge - Electric Fiat Review

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

I recently purchased an electric Fiat from the Thames Slough Motor Group, and I had the privilege of being assisted by Sam Mudge. I would like to express my utmost satisfaction and appreciation for the outstanding service I received from him.

First and foremost, I was amazed by Sam's ability to find and secure the last rose gold coloured car available for me on such short notice. This particular colour was a priority for me, and I was afraid it would be challenging to find at such short notice. However, Sam's dedication and attention to detail ensured that I could drive home in the car I had envisioned.

Sam's professionalism and knowledge about the electric Fiat were truly appreciated. He took the time to understand my needs and preferences, providing valuable insights into the car's features, benefits, and functionalities. His guidance was instrumental in helping me make an informed decision.

Furthermore, throughout the purchasing process, Sam maintained constant communication, promptly answering any questions or concerns I had. His clear and transparent approach reassured me that I was in good hands. He handled all the paperwork efficiently, explaining every step thoroughly to ensure a seamless experience.

Sam's is friendly and approachable which made the entire process enjoyable. He demonstrated a genuine passion for his work and a willingness to go above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. He made me feel valued as a customer and went the extra mile to accommodate my unique requirements.

I highly recommend anyone in search of a new car to seek out Sam Mudge at the Thames Slough Motor Group. With his expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction, you can be confident that your experience will surpass your expectations.

Abarth 124 Spider

From first visit to picking up the car Sam was professional and excellent at making sure I was kept informed of progress with collecting my Abarth 124 Spider.
Very quick to rectify any little niggles and all communications were prompt and easy.

Buying from Sam was excellent

From start to finish our experience of trading in our existing 500e for a newer one with Sam was fantastic. Great, fast, responsive communication both over email and on the phone - including some excellent aftersales care too (so many sales people drop you once the money is done!)

Shocking experience with repairs

Shocking experience with repairs. It’s taken nearly 12 months to book in for simple repairs. The car is with them, no updates. We’re without a car over the weekend. No offers for a courtesy car either. No supervisor or manager is available. We’re not allowed our car back either!

Hi Martin, we are sorry to see that you have left us this review. As your vehicle is provided via the Motability scheme, you can request a vehicle from them to use while yours is in for servicing or repairs. I understand this has been explained to you and we have requested a vehicle on your behalf. As your vehicle was only brought in to us on Friday we didn’t have any updates to give you over the weekend but we will keep you updated on the progress of your repair and get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible.
