" Outstanding Service & Fantastic Car!"

We recently purchased a car from Palmers Hemel Hempstead, and the entire experience was nothing short of excellent. From the moment we walked in, we were taken great care of by Ross Beard, who was incredibly friendly, polite, and helpful throughout the process. His professionalism and knowledge made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. The service from start to finish was top-notch, with no pressure—just genuine support in helping us find the right car. Thanks to Ross and the team, we drove away with an amazing motor that we’re absolutely thrilled with so far! If you’re looking for a seamless, stress-free car buying experience with outstanding customer service, we highly recommend Palmers Hemel Hempstead. Thanks again, Ross, for making it such a great experience!

"Paid in full for factory issue"

Resolving issues

My partner leased a Fiat 500X from the dealership. Unfortunately, as a result of a manufacturing issue, the car required a new cylinder head due to having a hole in the original. Despite being a manufacturing issue, Fiat refused to help towards the cost of the repairs, which are currently over £4,000 and still rising. There was also a 'delay' from Fiat when the garage ordered the correct parts to fix the car, with no further explanation given meaning despite us continuing to make the monthly payments, we have been without a car for 6 weeks so far. I advise people to avoid leasing cars from Fiat as the costs associated with any potential factory faults are incredibly high and you will not get any support from Fiat, financial or otherwise.

"Broke down on the way home from service!"

Shocking level of service. We just broke down on the way home after coming to collect our car. The service manager just tried to fob me off with the Check Engine light being from 'driving through puddles. Jeeps can't be driven through puddles' Is this guy having a laugh? He delivered that line deadpan as you like. Its obvious they don't know what they are doing!

" Review: Terrible Customer Service – Com"

I ordered a Jeep in February 2024 with the promise that I would receive it within three months. My application was approved, and I paid a deposit, but that's where everything started going wrong. From that point on, the dealership continuously failed to provide accurate information about the status of my order. They kept giving me false updates, and even the manager was involved in this web of lies. Every interaction left me feeling more confused, as no one seemed to have a clue about what was happening with my car. The overall experience has been both frustrating and disgusting. This dealership clearly doesn't value honesty or its customers' time. If you're looking for reliability and decent service, I highly recommend staying far away from this dealership.

my experience with this dealership has been rubbish i was sent to them via my car dealership to service my car as it’s under warranty Palmer flagged a problem and marked it urgent 3 months on the problem has still not been fixed with them claiming a “ delay” on parts However, the parts is not the issue it’s the communication and total disregard for their customer At One point my car was booked in on the day of I decided to phone them to confirm only to be told that my booking has been cancelled yet no one had bothered to let me know Emails are ignored queries on my car ignored complaints ignored Would think again before doing any kind of business with Palmers - hemel hempstead

"Service department is shocking"

I brought my jeep into Palmers as it needed a replacement reverse camera . When I got it back I noticed both reverse lights, both rear licence plate lights and one indicator didn’t work – I had to ring three times to get through to someone who said bring it in and we will take a look. When I did they said that it was a coincidence that 5 bulbs had blown and had nothing to do with the reverse camera being changed as they were on a separate wiring loom. They gave me a quote for £611.38 to change the bulbs, justifying the extortionate cost by saying they were "genuine parts". They were only light bulbs! I declined the quote and brought the car to my own mechanic who rang Jeep parts department to find out the actual cost of the lights and when he spoke to them, the parts department said, let me guess, reverse camera issue confirming that they were on the same wiring loom. Palmers either lied or have no idea what they are talking about. My mechanic fixed the reverse lights for £23.66 (the bulbs just needed replacing as they had been blown by the installation of the reverse camera). My husband ordered two licence plate lights at a cost of £12.98 and an indicator bulb for £9.19 so the overall total cost was £45.83. Palmers were trying to charge me over £600! This company is shocking and I don’t believe any of their high reviews are genuine – I was asked to complete a review after the diagnostic had been done and I was told that I could only fill it out if I was going to leave reviews of 8/9. They don't deserve 1/9. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Paid £872 for them to repair the locking mechanism on my pickup trucks hard top in February 2023 since then I have had to return almost every month works for about two weeks then fault returns one visit they had an automotive electrician check the wiring loom no fault found he then told me that they had trouble refitting the load liner on inspection I found that they had trapped the loom between the liner and 12v socket on my recent visit 24th Jan this year told that the fault was in the loom since then I have not been able to open the tailgate even with the key. I am now thinking of taking legal action
