Where do I begin with Beck Evans. Purchased a Range Rover Sport end of November and was told car was ready to collect on 1 Dec. Spoken to Rob and even booked train tickets, as I was coming from West Yorks. On 30 Nov I was sent a video of vehicle and showed battery fault with key. He later called as I was told the vehicle actually has a fault with the key and as a result cannot collect car on 1 Dec. The car needed to be booked into Land Rover. An email on December 2nd indicated a booking for December 11th, but this information was contradicted on December 5th when we were informed that the car would go to Land Rover on December 7th, with a potential collection on December 8th, even as late as 9 p.m. On December 8th, after waiting for confirmation plans for potential collection, we were left in the dark. After following up, Mr. Sharman advised that the car would not be seen until the afternoon, rendering collection on that day unviable. Subsequent attempts to reach Beck Evans on December 11th were fruitless, with no response to 6 calls/emails, including attempts to contact Rob Sharman and Ben Marle (sales manager). On December 12th, after 5 p.m., I received a call indicating that the car would be ready on December 14th, for a pick-up on December 15th. The situation escalated on December 19th when Ben Marle from Beck Evans informed us that the required parts for the car repair could not be ordered. This contradicted previous information, causing further frustration. We then felt we needed to address the issue with the director, Sam Evans. On December 20th, this proved to be equally disheartening. Sam Evans failed to provide concrete information about the car's readiness, displayed a dismissive attitude towards our concerns, and abruptly ended the call with a discourteous tone. Furthermore, on the same day, when we contacted the garage (Land Rover Canterbury) directly, we discovered that the required parts had been ordered six days ago, undermining the information provided by Beck Evan's with a potential to have car repaired by new years. The entire ordeal has been characterised by a lack of transparency, miscommunication, and a dismissive attitude towards customer concerns. The director's abrupt decision to cancel the sale without considering our rights to have the car repaired is unacceptable. We felt the failure to undertake a thorough due diligence check of the vehicle prior to sale has been a significant contributing factor to the issues faced and this led Beck Evan's not selling the vehicle due to the loss they faced ordering new keys and a new modular from LR. In summary, the customer service at Beck Evan's has been shockingly poor, marked by a failure to fulfill promises, lack of accountability, and an overall disregard for customer satisfaction. I strongly CAUTION potential customers to thoroughly reconsider before engaging with this dealership.

Samuel Evans from Beck Evans in response to Shocking customer service and lies.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us another review on another site. I have looked into this matter and don’t believe your comments are a true reflection of events. Unfortunately, the vehicle you had put a deposit on developed a fault prior to collection and we informed you about this a couple of days before collection. The vehicle was taken to Landrover to be fixed. There is a part shortage across the whole of the Landrover range and therefore we were in the hands of Landrover awaiting the parts that weren’t available in the UK. We did our best to get the car fixed as quickly as possible in the lead up to Christmas. We endeavoured to keep you informed throughout the whole process. It was disappointing when you threatened Beck Evans with Legal Action before delivery, wanting compensation and stating you wanted to take the car and send Beck Evans a bill for the repair. At that point we believed the relationship had broken down and it was not appropriate to sell you a vehicle. We offered you a full refund of monies paid as soon as we knew we could not meet the timelines – you declined to provide us with your bank details to return the funds or acknowledge our email. We believe we did our best to resolve the issue and put you back to the beginning of your car buying journey. Many thanks Team Beck Evans

"AWFUL, CAR LEAKING, VERY BAD CUS SERVICE"

Bought Range Rover Evoque, and after three months, we noticed drops of water leaking into the passenger side from the top of the windscreen and getting worse. When contacted Beck Evans, they said they can't do anything because of the 100-day warranty scheme, and this issue not come under their extended one year warranty. When I stressed it's a water leak and we found only now because of the heavy rain, a wonderful staff told me... you should have checked while you buy and also in England every week is raining. Best possible reply for a customer who spent 22K. I insisted this issue was there during the time of purchase and rather than saying the 100 days warranty, show some responsibility and get this sorted somehow. They ignored. Till sale, very polished customer service, and once we got an issue, the real customer service was delivered and thoroughly disappointed. Never ever go anywhere near.

Sam Evans from Beck Evans in response to AWFUL, CAR LEAKING, VERY BAD CUS SERVICE

Good morning Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback regarding the purchase of your RR Evoque. I have looked into this matter for you and see that you purchased the Evoque almost 5 months ago on the 17th July. When vehicles leave us not only do they go through a PDI and thorough Safety Check they also have a jet wash and clean. At no point was a water leak identified. As my colleague has already pointed out, had the vehicle left us in July with a water leak I am sure you would have noticed this prior to early December. Warranty would not cover such an incident as it would be deemed 'wear and tear'. I hope that this clarifies the situation. Many thanks Team Beck Evans

I recently did review this company 5 start for their selling process. However ever since I got my Audi A7 2018 from Beck Evans, i have had nothing but problems with the car. First i had the alternator gone in the first 3 week and Audi kept the car for a month as they had to wait for the part. A week after i got the car back, the air suspension is gone. When you call them, they don’t answer and when they do answer they say ring the warranty company. The warranty company is no help. Absolutely disappointed. I have invoices available to show when I bought the car and all the issues.

I recently purchased a 2013 nissan cabstar from Beck Evans. I collected it on a Saturday afternoon. I drove a short way and parked the vehicle for a few hours and returned to drive home. The smoke that came from it was unreal. I've had vans and trucks all my life and was not expecting a brand new truck by any means. People were actually stopping me on the way home. Monday morning I called and was contacted by someone from the workshop who openly admitted they knew about the smoking issue and still went ahead and sold me the vehicle. They asked me to drive the vehicle for 1000 miles presuming so they could claim of my warranty that I paid for. I reluctantly agreed as I did not want to cause them any issues and at this point thought it would be plain sailing. By the Wednesday it was evident that the vehicle had a serious problem and after starting the truck outside a local cafe filling it with smoke I called the workshop and arranged to return the truck. The following Saturday the truck was dropped back to beck evans and they then had the vehicle for 2 weeks to which I had no replacement. After finally having enough and a few stroppy emails I had a call from sales manager Shaun. Admittedly shaun arranged a spare truck for the duration they had mine. They also offered me a poxy free mot and service next year. (Hope it's not from the same mot company as the ones who mot'd my replacement. That came straight from mot allegedly but had no working wipers!) The truck they delivered me had no working windscreen wipers resulting in after them dropping it to me I was stranded on my way home as it was raining. Again another vehicle from beck evans stranded outside my house. 4 days later I had a truck that worked, it didn't lock but it drove. Finally my truck was delivered back and all seemed OK. I left it for a week but all that had changed was the black smoke had slightly stopped and the white smoke hadn't. The engine management light was now on and the truck was missfiring. It then took a further 2 weeks for them to agree to buy the vehicle back from me. Beck evans could not repair the vehicle, puts a lot of hope into a company that sells vehicles in excess of 200k and can't fix an old cabstar. My finance agreement with Motonovo needed to be unwound by Beck Evans instead they settled the finance resulting in me losing 2 months payments made for a truck they had longer than I did. We are now over 3 months on and I'm still trying in contact with shaun who insists he did all that was asked. The only person at Beck Evans that has any decency is Billy in the workshop he is a genuine person. In a nutshell, beck evans knowingly sold me a vehicle with an issue they couldn't rectify, then supplied another un road worthy vehicle in the mean time. Its now cost me time and money all because In the beginning they didn't do the right thing. I would not buy another vehicle from them and would strongly advise others the same.

The service leading up to the purchase of my car was OK. Typical sales approach led me to walk away but then they came back with a sensible deal. However, after the sale it was a different story. They were totally uninterested. I had a fault a couple of days after the purchase, thank goodness I had the warranty and could deal with it myself. I wouldn't recommend Beck Evans.

sam evans from Beck Evans in response to Average at Best

Hi Alex Sorry to hear you had a problem shortly after purchasing the car, after i investigated the issues we asked you to bring the car back for us to fix the car which you declined as you said it was to far away we did offer to collect the car but you insisted you took the car to your own garage, which is not a problem that's why we give warranty's with all our cars sold, i believe the warranty we gave you FOC with the car covered the parts and labour we don't feel a window regulator is a major issue with a car and this on a Porsche macan is a common issue. I find your review doesn't really paint a true picture of what happened, we sell 1000`s of cars a year to many satisfied customers and have been trading since 1970. You brought a great car there a Porsche Macan Turbo. i hope you enjoy your car, once again really sorry you had an issue. Kind Regards Sam Evans Director
