"A very poor service from start to finish"

Resolving issues

I viewed (12/1/2018) a Mercedes convertible (E350) and identified two defects which they agreed to fix before advising me to come in to collect! At collection (18/1/2018) six days later only one problem was rectified, they booked the Mercedes into their workshop 7 weeks and 5 days after collection (13/3/2018) as they were very busy! After waiting for about two hours to get a courtesy car, a defective and dirty VW Polo was presented to me, the red brake lights came on intermittently and I only managed to drive the 20 miles home and used another car! By the way their excess for any damage is £2500.00! The job was to replace a seal and trim so should take less than a day but after 4 days they called me (17/3/2018) to say that they had fitted it and the finish was very poor so they would need time to refit another one and as that was on a Saturday I would have it on Monday or Tuesday. I called on Tuesday but was told it would be ready by Wednesday or the latest Thursday. On Thursday (22/3/2018) some 9 days after leaving the car they said a defective part was supplied by Mercedes Benz and requested more time to get the job completed. Being fully frustrated by their incompetence, I told them to let me have the car back in the same condition and I will take it to Mercedes Benz to have the job properly done! Thomas Edwards offered apologies at least three times but all these excuses only prove their incompetence, so this dealership should be avoided unless you have a lot of time to waste!! I wish I had read the reviews before buying from Prestige Cars Kent, it would certainly save me a lot of time and energy. I have had good service from Porsche in West London and East London and also from Mercedes Benz in Caterham, so this level of frustration is abnormal! Certainly not one I would recommend!!

Normally I don’t wish to do reviews as I find it a pain, on this occasion one is required for any potential buyers to avoid Prestige Cars Kent who sold me a car that don’t work. Firstly see below the list of faults from an email exchange with the garage, the snap shot is from Thomas in after sales, I listed the faults and his reply is after the hypon “-“ before you read the shocking faults below which you don’t expect from a prestige retailer, some background info, the car was a Audi S3 with 59k. I had two inspections done, had pictures and video evidence from day 1 I wished to reject the car but they wouldn’t allow me and didn’t understand my rights, this was a battle over 6 weeks, they wanted to repair the car, but why I trust them to repair when they sold a car in such bad condition. After 6 weeks plus and prestige sitting on the car for 3 weeks to carry out investigation there offer was to repair and provide relief from finance payments for x2 months, I don’t give up and took action against the finance company also, I didn’t end up in court lucky for them. I was released from my liability for the vehicle In response to your email please see below regarding the findings we have established so far: 1) Parking Sensors do not work- Updated control unit now working 2) Rear wiper blade does not work – Requires a new Rear wiper motor, part on order. 3) Lacquer is peeling from the rear bumper right side (pointed out to James) – Not yet been assessed by smart repairer 4) Steering wheel is making a clicking/knocking sound below towards the foot well – Conducted multiple road tests and unable to hear the noise – will investigate further 5) Faulty rear right tail light, 3 bulbs have been changed in a week – Requires a new lamp unit, part on order 6) The idle speed on the car when at a standstill is jerky on occasions – Not yet fully diagnosed - will investigate further 7) Stereo randomly shows blank screen, but audio can be heard – Recalibrated and retested working correctly 8) Cup holder is stuck – Fixed, it is a card holder 9) Faulty Gearbox, the car has on several occasions been stuck in gear, while also not displaying the correct gear ratio selected. The car makes a clunking noise going from drive to reverse and vice versa. Also, the car suffers from delay in shifting from drive to reverse. The car suffers jerky gear changes; the car is vibrating when going into reverse. – Not yet fully diagnosed - will investigate further 10) Engine Management light is on. – Not yet fully diagnosed - will investigate further I will be contact again next week once our diagnosis and inspection is completed. Regards T***** If anyone needs further details I have documented proof, I wish anyone who buys a car from this garage all the best of luck!! You will need it

"Unethical"

Resolving issues

The most unethical, dishonest car dealer I have ever dealt with. They currently owe me £1,000 deposit, which under the Consumer Contacts Legislation, is owed to me. I pulled out of the deal because of their unethical decision with regards paying my outstanding finance (£43K). Essentially, they wanted to take the £55K vehicle into stock, and pay the finance within 28 days. So they have my car, I retain the debt until they decide to repay it. What would happen if they went into liquidation during this period ? Answer, I am in all sorts of problems. Buyers please ask that your existing finance is repaid prior to releasing your car. Now, I plan to post this message every day on facebook and other review sites, until I receive the refund I am due. If I can't get a refund, I will certainly take please in lowering their review score.

Dealership Information

Started in 2012, Prestige Cars Kent is a family-run, independent dealership based in Orpington, Kent. We stock more than 200 prestige cars from Audi, to Rolls Royce. Each car undergoes a thorough 175-point inspection prior to sale and is supplied with a 12-month Warranty, underwritten by ourselves.

We are able to take in existing cars as part exchanges, and are able to offer finance options (we are authorised and regulated by the FCA). With a large panel of lenders, we are able to provide the best solution to meet individual circumstances.

Selling hundreds of cars a year, usually with a Service Pack, has driven demand to provide car servicing. Whilst we have delivered this for a little while now, in early 2020 we were delighted to open our dedicated car Service Centre, just down the road in Orpington. With 13 service ramps, manned by main-dealer trained technicians using the latest equipment, our aim is to provide better service than a prestige main dealer at a considerably lower cost.
