I recently got another van on lease from bristol street stoke and it was the most painfull experience purchasing a vehicle ive had they were all over the place with information i had problems at every step of the procedure pricing, insurance and financing etc so its highly unlikely i,ll be having another from bristol street or vertu motors as ive used other companys also owned by vertu and they are just as piss poor. Just for one example i was told at first the pure profit from the sale of my first van would go onto the next to drop the price which i expected, only to be told after they rung me that was not the case that the amount of profit was mine to keep and the next agreement had started, i even questioned the sales person who told me and said that does,nt sound right and his response was “yes it is correct that money’s yours enjoy! So of course i was chuffed i was getting something back but that was not the case of course ford lesing wanted the money to start the next aggreement and told me they could’nt take it from me straight away as it was to close to my vans payment date so there was non stop problems and all i got was excuse,s “van leasing is so complex” which i was told after first complaint only to be told when i put it to the sales person how many van’s they sold a week so they knew what they were doing which of course my response was so why so much mis infomation and problems? Which the next excuse was “we are not the same company as the leasing company so its can get complicated” so i would suggest if bristol street/vertu motors struggle so much with van leasing then dont offer the service as it is a monster stress for the customer when non stop incompitance persists my advice to any customer firstly would be don’t use them or FIND EVERY DETAIL YOURSELF DONT TAKE EVERY YOUR TOLD BY BSM AS GOSPEL AS 9/10 times the infomation your provide with is incorrect

"The worst group of companies"

Resolving issues

The worst group of companies I've EVER dealt with Don't deal with Vertu. Ever. Or anything Bristol street. Firstly the whole experience with an engine issue put my car off the road for over 4 months, then more issues caused multiple critical components to be DANGEROUSLY loose and after 6 attempts to say there's a knocking noise they finally fixed it. My stop start didn't work. I tested my battery and an auto electrician friend tested it too and both deemed it to be dead after being flat for the 4 months it was off the road. It took a lot of phone calls, emails and 2-3 trips to the dealership for them to replace the battery and admit fault (with all the usual facade of "oh we're sorry, we try our best blah blah). Now Vertu alloy repairs completely botched a small scuff on my alloy with rough paint that's the wrong colour and doesn't cover all of the parts they sanded down. On top, they also covered my brembo caliper in black paint that won't come off now. Raised a complaint, someone came out and said they need to take it into the workshop to sort out. Got one phone call saying they'd look into it once the technician left and now they say my issue is closed. Scammers. Liars. Waste of time mechanics. Don't actually care once they've got your money. I wasn't going to leave a review at first because I couldn't be bothered. Now recently with the alloy issues, it reminded me of what a mess Vertu is as a whole

"Terrible Customer Service"

Bought a new car from them due to be collected yesterday. Set off to collect only to receive a call saying not only was it not ready, but that the fitters hadn't even turned up to put the canopy on (this was 1pm for a 3pm pick up). Was told it would be ready today and so far today I have not been able to speak with anyone (they were unable to connect me to the sales rep I was dealing with so I requested to be put through to anyone else on that site only to be told none of them were answering - I requested to be put down for an urgent call back and I am still waiting). I've emailed twice and no response. Basically, they have pushed the collection through to get my money before month end knowing they wouldn't be able to deliver the car. Disgrace.

I purchased a car from Bristol street motors Stoke. The car was not delivered for two werks as it needed some repairs. I recieved my car with a few problem. I called and the store and they resolved the issues straight away. They supplied a courtesy car while I waited and offered me compensation for me having to order Taxis to work. I had dealings with Anthony and Isris, both were professional and promt in dealing with any issues. I feel like they care and want to help if there is a problem. I would recommend the store and the face to face personal service. My car was delivered to my home address which was lovely and saved me having to drive to the store which was a great help. I am greatful for their help and consideration.

Bought a Ford Kuga (Ford stoke)in November 2019 with 3 year extended warranty at a cost of 800 pounds on top of the list price. The car started making a squeaking sound in June 2021. Within the warranty period. Took the car into dealership (Crewe as stoke had an 8 week wait!!!) they said it was the brakes. Had all 4 disks and pads replaced at cost of over 500 quid. There was still squeaking. Took it back in now (2nd time) the mechanic said there was no problem. The manager was then Alerted to the squeak and filled in on the history ( he booked it in again) Third time in, finally diagnosed it as a wheel bearing issue and it should be covered by wasn’t this time. I showed them service stamp, this was not good enough. Showed them the invoice this was not good enough. It must be VAT registered the garage. No one told me this when I was buying the warranty, the complaints department is non-existent for warranty wise. Bristol street blame warranty wise a d warranty wise blame Bristol street. I’ve had to pay for a warranty (which is useless), all new discs and pads (only 50% worn) not t needed, and my wheel bearing (because the warranty is useless). Complaint has got me no-where. It is very obvious why they do not allow you to leave reviews on Facebook! Get in touch Bristol street if you would actually like to help. I’ll ensure that any one of my friends or family know to stay well clear.

After needing to buy a car to adapt to my husbands needs (disability and needing a automatic, assessments taking months due to covid for motobility ), We bought the car and after 16 days of having it and trying to sort issues out with it, we had the letter that we could have motobility. We contacted the finance company who were happy to have to money back from the dealer and us to send the car back but stock after 7 days of trying to contact a manager, speaking to customer service back and forth several times and not getting an answer, we were told they were always too busy even though emails classed as urgent from head office and phone calls had been sent. The regional manager eventually rang to say it’s not possible to return as we were 2 DAYS (!!!!) Over the return time and it would be an issue for the accounts! They hadn’t taken into consideration our situation of my husband not being able to work, why we urgently, the reasoning to why we had to get a car in a lock down situation (due to myself having to work full time and my husband being able to be mobile to care for our children).I understand the risks you take when buying a car just over the phone but that shows the desperation as to us needing the automatic car. I’ve never received such bad customer service. The poor salesman that was selling the car to us over the phone had such lack of support from his team and training as we were given wrong information, sorting out our own drive away insurance and actually having to ring the finance people to sort a number of things. Even the sorting out of repairs needed for the car we had to do ourselves and travel 30 minutes away to get it repaired ( even though a BSM Is 10 minutes away). They could have really helped us out after a really hard personal time but just chose not to find any way to help us at all apart from the regional manager asking if we were interested in doing motobility with them....... if the service was better and some Solutions to help us in some way had been offered we may have just done that. I understand it’s hard when doing all these things over the phone but I’m sure you should possibly go that bit further to ensure your customers are happy and don’t receives reviews like this. I felt I needed to write today (the first time I’ve Ever have done this!) even more so after seeing the other reviews. Sorry Stoke BSM but I will not be recommending yourself and your other stores as you’ve shown a bad representation of your company which is a real Shame.

"VERY POOR SERVICE"

I have a lovely Ford Grand Cmax Titanium X from Bristol Street Ford in Stoke. its has most of the additional extra packs as it was a Ford Executive Roll Management vehicle. After a few months I noticed that part of the rear number plate started to appear on screen when the vehicle was placed in reverse gear. Accordingly, when the vehicle was booked in for an annual service on 4th June I requested that they also attended to this as seeing the number plate had not occurred before. Apart from the service cost I was happy everything. Bristol Street Ford told me that I needed new reversing camera and that they had ordered it for fitting on June 26th, as I am disabled with several serious health issues including a terminal Cardiac condition they kindly agreed to complete the work while I waited, I arrived at 10.10am for a 10.45am appointment. After waiting for several hours, I was given the car back at 1.50pm. Immediately, on engaging reverse gear to leave, I was shocked to see that the exact problem the car had been booked into was still there!!!!. On going back into the service department I was told that the technician who completed the work was at lunch and to come back at 3pm. After 3pm the technician (who was a nice man) FOR THE FIRST TIME, I believe, was made aware as to what the actual problem was!! Having looked at the vehicle and knowing what the vehicle was booked in for he advised that the camera could not be adjusted. Although part of the number plate being seen when engaging reverse gear had not occurred previously, I asked if he could check this out with another CMAX Titanium on site, the technician was very helpful but unfortunately they had no similar car on site. I told him that I would make enquiries and establish the best way to find a solution. Although, I retired many years ago, I had worked in a senior position at Ford Motor Company's Research & Engineering Centre and Warley headquarters. I had the "personal direct email" for Andy Barratt the MD & CEO OF FOB. When I contacted him last September he personally emailed me as he agreed I could have a Grand Cmax on loan for a couple of days in order to decide if this is the vehicle I wish to purchase, Accordingly, I emailed Andy Barratt asking why I was now seeing the number plate and requesting that Bristol Street Ford Stoke ON Trent be advised as to what action may be required to resolve the issue. A copy of my email was also sent to K Campbell at Vertu motors who are the parent company, also a copy to Bristol Street Ford Stoke, THE HISTORY IS. Thursday 28th June Email to Andy Barratt, K Campbell Vertu, & Bristol Street. Friday29th June I had a "missed call" from a lady called Dawn?? at BSM, Stoke requesting that I re-book the car into BSM, When I heard the message left I phoned BSM, they wee not sure if Dawn was in or not, however, the individual I spoke to PROMISED THAT SHE WOULD PERSONALLY, phone me back on MONDAY, YES, YOUR CORRECT AND AS I EXPECTED NO CALL FROM BSM STOKE ON THE MONDAY!!! Monday2nd July. NO CALL FROM BSM STOKE, Accordingly late afternoon I phoned and asked to speak to Dawn??, after holding on...I was told that Dawn? was busy and sorting things out but she, Dawn?, would contact me direct. Later Monday PM, I received a call from Ford Motor Company, to inform that they would progress my enquiry and contact BSM Stoke direct as I had requested. Tuesday 3rd July. Still waiting for the phone call from dawn?? AS EXPECTED- NO PHONE CALL!!!! Wednesday 4th July NO PHONECALL FROM DAWN BSM Stoke. However I was contacted by Ford Motor Company who told me they had spoken to the main dealer and they would now contact me. Thursday 5th July NO CONTACT FROM BSM Stoke, Friday 6th July. its now 2pm and NO CONTACT FROM BSM Stoke. I will phone Andy Barratt and BSM Stoke in a couple of hours.
