no one has got back to me when i enquiry about a car over a week ago

---------- Forwarded message ---------From: Michael FergusonDate: Wed, 24 Jun 2026, 11:47Subject: Fwd: DE15OLCTo:, Cormac DeeganFAO Cormac and WallaceRE: Purchase of Audi A6 Registration DE15 OLCPlease find below original email from Curtis in respect of investigative works undertaken recently.Car was purchased on 14 April and within a few weeks developed an issue, now subsequently identified as suspension problem, so I phoned, around 12th May seeking the issue to be looked at. An appointment was scheduled on 11 June and the email from Curtis details the relevant problems and rejection of repairs under warranty.This is where I have an issue. The car was less than a month old when the issue was first raised and it was then a subsequent month later the faults were diagnosed. I was then informed that the parts were not covered under warranty and repair work would amount to arount £220. I feel this is unacceptable.I purchased the vehicle for around £10,500 and I feel it is resonable to expect I should not be carrying out repair work at my cost at such an early stage.On the basis of this I am respectfully asking that Charles Hurst undertake the repair work at no cost to me based on the cost of the car itself and the fact I had been only driving the car for a few weeks. I am never keen on the validity of the warranties offered on sales and this just compounds my thinking. I believe your aftersales care should be so much better than what has been provided here, especially based on the size and reputation of the Charles Hurst/Looker Group in general.I am sure you can understand my frustration around this and hope you will take steps to address my issues.Please be assured that the issues raised in this email are strictly those detailed, and are no reflection on the staff I have dealt with to date who have been very preofessional.Many thanksMichael FergusonMob: 07553418016---------- Forwarded message ---------From: Curtis BuchananDate: Thu, Jun 18, 2026 at 8:33 AMSubject: DE15OLCTo: m.g.ferguson1971@gmail.comHi Michael,See diagnosis attached as well as what your warranty have came back with in terms of declining the claim.If you wish to follow up further call Charles Hurst Citroen and ask for Wallace or alternatively ask for the sales executive that sold the vehicle and ask if there is any help on their end considering the length of time you have had the vehicle.Many thanks,Curtis BuchananService AdvisorCharles Hurst Citroen Belfast62 Boucher Road | Belfast | BT12 6LRT: 028 9038 3512charleshurstgroup.co.uk/citroenThis email message and any documents accompanying it are private and confidential and may be legally privileged.

I rang about a car and the guy couldn't tell me anything about it. He was to give me a call back and I am still waiting. I purchased elsewhere.

Never got back to me about the car I was interested in. This happened a couple of times.

I didn't really want to make this complaint but am now left with no option. I have left my vehicle in for servicing under warranty at Charles Hurst Newtownards - they inform me they are waiting on a response from Dundonald in relation to an issue as set out below. However, this complaint could be attributed to both branches and comes under both headings of poor customer service as well as problematic communication.The background is that my car went in for diagnostics and service, most recently and for the second time since purchase, on 11th June to Newtownards branch. The car was bought around November 2025. On 11th June, I was informed a number of things were wrong with it, including a problem with the exhaust cooling system which was causing the DPF to clog quickly, and the brakes. The exhaust point is being dealt with under warranty. On 11th June, I sought confirmation that the cost of the brake lining and pads be considered as a fit for purpose at point of sale issue, given that the vehicle was only purchased in November and this is the second time it needed to be brought in for diagnostics and service. I was told at the time that this was an issue for the Dundonald branch (as that's where I bought it) and therefore, Newtownards would have to contact them about this. I am still waiting on a response to this request, despite many calls to Newtownards to follow up. I have called up Newtownards branch again today to be told that they're still waiting on a response from Dundonald, nearly 3 weeks later. I have called up at least 4 times about this in total.The only time I receive an update about any of the servicing, warranty claim or otherwise is when I call up Newtownards branch myself and ask for one. For example, I was not informed that the warranty claim in respect of the exhaust issue was successful until I rang up and chased.I informed someone at Newtownards branch last week that I would reject the vehicle if confirmation about the brakes isn't forthcoming. I was assured this message would be passed on. When I called just now to seek an update, this message had clearly not been noted or passed to Nathan, the person looking after my vehicle service who had no knowledge of it, and asked if I needed to change the service date of 3rd July, despite there clearly being outstanding issues to be resolved.This is appalling. When I went in to buy the car, nothing was too much trouble, but now, communication is non-existent.Further, you ought to also be aware that the exhaust fault was clearly present in the vehicle when it was purchased, as it had to go back to the garage within a week or 2 of purchase for the same fault which has since been diagnosed. At that time, clearly, no proper diagnostics were performed on the vehicle was I was told it was a DPF issue and to just run the vehicle at high revs until the "check engine" light turned off again. I have therefore been driving a vehicle with a coolant problem for about 7 months. There is no doubt this issue was present when the vehicle was sold as the "check engine" light came on very quickly after first purchase. I therefore have a right to reject the car as the car was not fit for purpose when it was sold to me and this is the second time it has required repairs. Whilst I would prefer not to do so, I cannot see how else to move forward.

Very prompt reply to my email about a particular car. Video was provided of the car of interest and Adam followed up with additional email and phone call. Excellent service.

cust paid for the vehicle Monday 08.06.26 the cust feels the communication is very poor. He has been told the vehicle is not going to be ready till next week as they have found something else that is wrong with it. Cust would like the vehicle in full working order by Saturday 20.06.26.
