On 30 August, I purchased a car with numerous issues. One particularly frustrating problem was the tyre sensor, which cost me a significant amount of money due to me having to book Uber’s constantly and put me at risk of losing my job. To add insult to injury, the service was utterly appalling. They even scratched the front wing and mirror! I am deeply disappointed and feel bullied.I have visited the dealership four times to resolve my issues, but they have only made them worse. The service has been terrible, and I have been treated horribly. They failed to inform me of the car’s problems, which made me feel extremely disappointed and angry.I am extremely upset, and every time I attempt to book an appointment, they fail to check anything; they simply inform me that everything is fine. They then insist that I book an appointment with Martin Vessell, which I find utterly ridiculous since I have already visited the dealership to attempt to have my car fixed.Yours faithfully Mr Singh

Collected car at agreed time/date, (19.11.25), prep of car very poor dirty, smudged, windows dirty, bird poo on car !!!. Sales took car to be cleaned, returned after just 5 minutes still not clean, valeter then came and tried to clean windows, bumper and car with the same dirty cloth. Car now looks shocking , tyre pressure clearly not checked pre sale as one has 35psi 1 has 38 psi, 1 has 30 psi and 1 has 29 psi. Warning light came on this morning for front collision assist (will monitor this as it may just be the dirt affecting the camera/sensor).

10 weeks ago me and my wife purchased a peogeut 2008 gt Reg MK22 UUR from the Birmingham site.On the day the service was great. Max had all the right things to say and we were happy to buy the ca which we did in cash.The is the end of the good service.We had arranged to collect the car on the Sunday. When we arrived max had not bothered to come into work. And the car had not been prepared for us.Not cleaned.Car guard x not appliedIt still had the price tag on it.As you can expect I was not happy as we had paid extra for the guard x.There were also no locking wheel nut key for the locking wheel nuts.We agreed to take the car and return the following Saturday as agreed with Jamie. And the service manager.When I collected I took the car directly to my own mechanic and we discovered that the coolant was at the minimum mark and the oil was below the minimum mark.The dot 4 was nearly empty.My mechanic topped up where necessary.I spoke again to Jamie and agreed the Saturday when I came in the would haveA full service.Full valetGuard x appliedWhen nuts replaced with new locking wheel nuts.Change batteries in key fobs as they were dead.When we arrived on the Saturday the staff seamed shocked we were there. Jamie although he said would be in did not turn up for work and my car which I was promised would be first in had not even been booked in. They also had not got the new locking nuts.I had to miss a days work on that Saturday costing me £200 .Again as you would expect I was less than happy.Eventually the agreed that I would take a car from the service department and they would keep my car and would have done for me for the Thursday.On the Wednesday I called to check progress to be told it may not be back by the Thursday as they had sent it to Peugeot to get the wheel nuts replaced.The only other day I could collect was the following Saturday but would need another day off work costing me another £200.I had to cancel my work by 2pm on Thursday to give my client time to get replacement. As asked to confirm if ca would be ready on Thursday before tha time which he did not so I had to cancel the Saturday.Loosing another £200 in lost earning.4 o’clock comes and I get a call the car is ready.I arrive to collect the car. And the are still detailing it. ( there is a hand print on the bonnet still which I only notice the following day)All seamed good till I got home to find one of the key fobs were not working and on investigation was not even the correct key as the blade was wrong. ( they were both correct the week before)I spoke to Jamie and he was not interested. And said well you had better go to Peugeot then.I ended up buying a new key.Another £110 out of pocket.That Saturday we took the car on a motorway for the first time.Once we hit 50mph the car started to shake.Turns out that one tyre was illegal and the inside was all bulging. And another tyre was an off road tyre with. 10mm tread.So I had to buy two new tyres and get wheel alignment done at a cost of another £330So after 2 weeks of buying the car in total I was out of pocket by £840.Then we get to today.This morning after having g the car for 8 weeks. There is an oil pressure warning light on saying stop car immediately.I contacted the car hub and spoke to Jamie who has basically said they will have my car in and look at it. But we can not get a courtasy car unti the first of December. And when I said that’s not good enough he basically laugh and said tough. So I am now expected to hire my own ca for the next 10 days which will be another £500I have spoke to my own mechanic this morning and here suspects that when lookers were preparing my car they put a oil rinse through the car which I’f you do then it makes the wet belt deteriorate and will block up the oil pump.It’s still well within my warranty and having to wait so long at my cost is not acceptable.To top it all off I have been waiting for 8 weeks now for the branch manager to call me back.Is it lookers policy to only offer good service before you have got money from a customer. And afterward if lookers make a mistake oh well the customer will have to pay.At the moment in time I am waiting on Jamie to let me know when my car is being collected.When I can get a courtesy carAnd for Gareth to call me to get things sorted.RegardsRobert O’Driscoll

Dear Complaints Team,I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the continued delay in receiving the car mats for my vehicle. I was informed on 9th October that the mats had been ordered and were on their way, yet I have still not received them, nor have I been provided with a delivery date despite requesting one.I purchased the car on 30th August, and to still be waiting this long for something as simple as car mats is entirely unacceptable. The lack of communication and follow-up has been very disappointing.At this stage, I am requesting a full refund for the mats, as I will be purchasing a set elsewhere. Please confirm when the refund will be processed.I would also appreciate confirmation that this complaint has been formally logged in your system.I look forward to your prompt response and resolution.

In 2024, we went to tax our vehicle and we were unable too, as it was not in our name.We had to pay for a new V5 to be sent.In 2023-24 we had multiple issues with our car, one being due to an engine failure, where it had to be replaced. (we had taken out RAC warranty and they replaced the engine) - we paid the labour.In 2025, we were made aware that this was due to a recall issue where the recall was issued to us in Dec 2022. As the car was not under our name, we did not receive the recall so were unaware we needed a replacement part for the engine.We were not informed by you after receiving the recall issue, that the car was still under your name or that there was a recall as this would have gone to your address as the vehicle owner.A V5 was not provided by you, or sent by you at the time of purchasing the vehicle.These issues in the out come of the above has cost us:• Finance being paid without the vehicle for 4 months due to engine replacement.• Having to buy a new car for work as not qualifying for courtesy car• Labour costs for engine replacement• Purchase of a V5We expect as the dealer who caused this issue to at least take the car back at no cost.MTSinead________________________________________From: Customer FeedbackSent: 06 October 2025 12:37To: sinead warehamSubject: RE: More Information required CRM:0062856Afternoon,For complaints please reply directly to this email;-car registration- branch you bought car from-description of what you are complaining aboutSend these three things on email to this email I am sending you then we will create a formal complaint.14 days response for branch to be back in touch, anything later we will chase for the outcome.ThanksLiamLookers complaints departmentFrom: sinead warehamSent: 06 October 2025 12:30To: Customer FeedbackSubject: Fw: More Information required CRM:0062856External Sender: Confirm legitimacy before acting.Good AfternoonI would like to raise a complaint through your formal process, can you provide the information on how I do this please?We did not have the V5 given to us or put under our name when purchasing the car.

You state the recall was in Dec 22.In Feb 2024 I had to pay for a new V5 log book as when trying to tax the car, It was still in the previous owners name.We were not given the slip of the V5 when purchasing the car and presumed that lookers had done this for us.Therefore this is why we were unaware of this.I am waiting to hear of the issues due to the engine failure.We have had awful issues with this car and will be in touch once I have received the report.

1 star2 stars3 stars4 stars5 stars1.0 /5Sep 25, 2025Star City BirminghamWas sold a car with warranty. My daughter supported as I am disabled physically and sensorially. Was recommended that the car sales invoice goes in my daughter’s name as she helps me communicate. BIG MISTAKE - they went on to ignore my existence which could be interpreted as discrimination. Within days there was a serious engine fault. After Sales Manager lied about the car having a “full service” prior to sale. As it was so soon the warranty refused to cover it. A Third party garage stated that dirty oil had been topped up with new oil. The oil contamination was just the start of problems. The service manager then backtracked, apologised and agreed to cover the cost of the oil service and replacement parts needed to get it back ln the road. Sales manager confirmed they only spend £300-£400 on each car prior to sale and that they carry out interim (basic) services - but “full service” is a terminology thing. Within 4 weeks there were several major issues causing the car to need repair. The car needed to be taken in 6 times in 5 weeks. It had approx £1000 in repairs spent and failed every few days after repair with new faults, lights flashing, warning messages appearing and the car going into limp mode dangerously! This was unreasonable and impossible to persevere with. Despite asking to reject under Consumer Rights Act 2015, they delayed beyond 30 days and encouraged persevering with “fixes”. Eventually the car was collected and after WEEKS of arguing (they did not believe there were significant issues - but had only driven the car for 4 miles so lacked any real testing), we were refunded for the car. This was processed as them purchasing the car back - not as a rejection and refund. The purchase was minus £1 per mile on the odometer since sale (after seeking advice the “standard” Is 25-45p per mile) - despite the majority of mileage being for garage commutes and testing. We requested a policy to support £1 per mile charge and they refused. We requested a contact for their legal team no less than 6 times and were ignored and pressured into accepting “no liability” terms for the engine that was unfit for purpose and dangerous. The part refund was reliant on us removing reviews on Auto Trader and Google. These were removed for the refund. On top of everything else, this is another example of their unethical practice. We are out of pocket for the car, out of pocket due to cancelling the insurance and the business have caused harm to health. I wish i’d read the reviews before going near Lookers. Please check them on here and Google etc - I suspect there would be more but part of their complaints resolution could be to bully for the removal of factual reviews. I would rate them 0 if it were possible. Whilst we removed the previous reviews - it is important that people are warned about this company.Number Of Reviews2

Avoid Lookers – Dishonest, Unprofessional, and Ignored My Rights I bought a car from Lookers after being told it had 2 years of warranty left. Within a week, warning lights came on and the car broke down. Instead of helping, Lookers refused to take responsibility, blaming a recall issue and pushing me to Kia, clearly trying to delay past my 14-day buyer protection rights. Kia later confirmed the truth: the car wasn’t under warranty at all because Lookers hadn’t serviced it properly and even filled in the logbook incorrectly to make it appear as if it had. For months I was ignored by Lookers, forced to chase them constantly, and even had to take time off work just to get any answers. Over the next 9 months, the car repeatedly broke down, Kia informed me of serious faults that Lookers refused to pay for, and Lookers lied and avoided responsibility at every step. They eventually sent the car away without telling me, and only after involving the Ombudsman and financial complaints team did they reluctantly sort the issues. Sales staff like Jamie Sullivan and Phil Obasi were only interested in commission, not customer care. Lookers sold me an unchecked car, misled me about warranty, and ignored me until I escalated the case. For anyone considering buying from Lookers: don’t. They sell cars with hidden problems, refuse accountability, and rely on stalling tactics to get past your protection rights. Lookers vauxhall birmingham Before I contacted ombudsman I did email there customer complaints and service resolution team being desperate for answers, only to receive and email back saying someone will respond to your enquiry soon. Didn't help one bit and never had a response.
