Confirmed with the dealer that I wanted to purchase the vehicle on the 4th May and the vehicle was not ready until the 24th May, apparently this was because parts had been ordered in but considering this was from a Renault dealership then the parts should be readily available or next day delivery.I was told the vehicle was ready to pick up on the 24th because the upholstery was attending to the car on the 22nd, when I explained I was not available until the 1st June the story changed and the upholstery failed to turn up on the Thursday, so I could collect on the Friday, I just felt this was cancelled to suit the salesperson, I was told the upholstery he was going to contact me a couple of days later but yet this hasn’t happenedWhen I checked the vehicle over I was told it would have had a valet and body work was done, there was lots of white on the vehicle which apparently was wax! The black trims of the vehicle look like they have never been touched.Regarding the valet, the boot was full of bits, the inside of the storage box inside the car still had a 2p in there when it was test driven and full of bits, the dashboard was dull, I’ve paid for a valet so knew what to expect and it certainly wasn’t a standard I would expect.Further to this during the hot weather when I got into the car it smelt of urine then the car was left for 5 days and when I returned it smelt damp.One of the main issues I have with this vehicle is that the main lights are not working which I found out when driving after a shift in work, I work for the Police and I’m sure if I was pulled over because of this it would not have gone down too well especially if I had hit something because of it.When I have gone through the paperwork in the service book I can see during 2024 and 2025 the headlights have been an issue with this car, I’m sure if you look at the history of this vehicle you would be able to confirm the details. I have looked into this as a standard fault of this model and apparently a BCM software reset should have taken place but it could also be related to battery and alternator fluctuations.Also, when I have checked under the bonnet the coolant needs topping up and I also had to fill the screen wash. Surely, these are basic mechanical checks that should have taken place. Therefore, I question exactly what has been done with this vehicle.I understand buying a second hand car will not be perfect but the above are basic checks, spending 8k on a car is not cheap. Sadly I’ve lost confidence in the car and concerned about what has been done to it, I am also concerned about ongoing issues about the lights and battery

Very little interest from the sales people, nobody around when we arrived back from a test drive. Could not provide a pcp quote on the new R4 ev Plein Sud, not on your system.Not been contacted in any form sinceWe’ve nowvplaced our order with Arnold Clark for an R4 ev Techno Plein Sud. They appear to have all the information and customer care which Lookers lack.

Dear Customer Services,I would like to provide feedback regarding my recent experience with the service department at Lookers Renault Chester.My Renault Arkana was recovered to the dealership on 10 April following a breakdown caused by an electrical engine fault message and a failure to restart. The vehicle was subsequently diagnosed with a fuel pump fault and repaired under warranty, for which I am grateful. The vehicle has since been returned to me and is currently operating normally.My concern is not with the repair itself, but with the level of communication throughout the process.For several weeks I was unable to obtain a clear update regarding the status of the diagnosis, the nature of the fault, or the expected repair timescale. Despite requests of updates (starting from me) , information was often unavailable or inconsistent, making it extremely difficult to understand what stage the repair had reached and to make practical arrangements while the vehicle remained off the road.I was also disappointed by the handling of my requests for a courtesy vehicle. Given that the vehicle remained off the road for an extended period, I raised the matter on several occasions. However, the possibility of a courtesy car appeared to be dismissed immediately and no meaningful alternative solution or follow-up was offered.Whilst I appreciate that courtesy vehicles may be subject to availability and specific terms, I would have expected clearer communication regarding what options, if any, were available during such a lengthy repair period. The absence of any practical support added considerably to the inconvenience caused by being without my vehicle for several weeks.In addition, a vehicle health check was sent to me shortly before collection ( I was completely unaware of the fact that the car was almost ready), but no explanation was provided regarding the actual fault that had caused the breakdown at that time. This added further confusion and required additional follow-up on my part in order to obtain basic information about the repair.Following collection of the vehicle, I also discovered that the MOT had not been carried out. Whilst I appreciate that the MOT remains the owner's responsibility, the vehicle had been in the workshop for approximately one month and the lack of clarity regarding what work had or had not been completed resulted in further inconvenience. I subsequently arranged and paid for the MOT independently.I appreciate that workshops can be extremely busy and that staffing pressures can affect turnaround times. My feedback is therefore not about the length of the repair itself, but about the lack of communication and clarity throughout the process. Better and more proactive updates would have significantly improved the overall customer experience and reduced a great deal of unnecessary uncertainty.I hope this feedback is helpful and can be used to improve communication with customers in similar situations in the future.

purchased car back on 18th April and since then has had a few issues with the vehicle, has attempted to notify Craig Phillips of the issues but no response back. Issues are tyre pressure sensors, 12v battery and slow puncture. now looking at rejecting the vehicle.

I purchased a vehicle from lookers Chester in January including the RAC premium maintenance and repairs policy, which I was advised by the salesman that if I had any faults with the car during the extended warranty period, my vehicle would be fixed free of charge under the policy. I have recently had a fault with the car, I reached out to lookers to get it booked in who then advised me of the extra costs. I contacted RAC to clarify the policy, at which point the RAC advisor advised me that I had been miss sold the policy as I would incur charges for using the policy. I have tried to contact lookers Chester on multiple occasions to no success. I would like a refund on the policy.

Good communication and personalised video of vehicle

The sales team were quick to respond to my enquiry. Knowledgeable and able to answer my questions. Despite not being able to make numbers match, they were honest and upfront about it

Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the handling of my recent service and MOT appointment at Renault Chester.My vehicle was booked in for 9:15am for a service and MOT. Upon arrival, I was sent a link to track the progress of the work being carried out on my car. Unfortunately, this link did not work and simply redirected me to the Renault website, meaning I had no way of monitoring the status of the vehicle as intended.At approximately 12:15pm, after hearing nothing for over three hours, I contacted the dealership to ask for an update. I was extremely dissatisfied to be informed that the car had not even been looked at at that point, despite having been in your possession since 9:15am.When I booked the car in that morning, I specifically requested that it be ready for collection by 4:00pm. Despite this, I was later informed that the vehicle was still not ready at the agreed time and was not available for collection until approximately 4:45pm.I find it very difficult to understand how a routine service and MOT could take over seven hours to complete, particularly when the vehicle required no additional work other than a brake fluid change. While waiting, I also overheard another customer being told that their service would take around two hours, which further highlights the inconsistency in the time taken for my vehicle.Overall, I am very disappointed with both the lack of communication throughout the day and the excessive amount of time taken to complete what should have been a straightforward appointment.As a result of this experience, I am now seriously considering not returning to Renault Chester in future and instead taking my vehicle to a different garage for future servicing and maintenance.I would appreciate an explanation as to why the vehicle was left for several hours before being worked on, why the tracking system failed to function correctly, and why the agreed collection time was not met.I look forward to your response.Samantha Leon-Dawson

My car was with them for 1 month and no quality repair has been carried out! I want to know how and when this problem can be fixed? I have had the car for about 10 or 11 months and the car has been with them for maybe about 2, I constantly have some problem with the car! I want a quality repair to be carried out! I want to know if this problem can be fixed by them or should I look for another Renault service!
