I purchased a second hand Skoda karoq in January this year, the sales assistant agreed that the Skoda connect service would be fixed so as I could link it to the Skoda app.He asked me to arrange the service with the local Skoda garage to me and confirmed that the cost would be covered by Lookers, also confirmed that the sales manager was fully aware of this.I arranged for and had the Skoda dealership fix the problem and had to pay the £138 to cover the cost as they were unable to invoice lookers direct.On the 27th February I rang to speak to the sales assistant and was informed that he no longer worked there and spoke to another sales assistant who checked with the supervisor and confirmed the arrangements and payment would be forthcoming on receipt of the invoice/proof of payment by email.I sent the email the same day but did not and have not received the payment despite numerous times contacting and leaving messages for both the new sales assistant and the sales manager.

Dear Lookers Customer Service and Resolutions Team,On 29 March, I purchased an Audi A6 (registration SG19 CDR) from your Stoke-on-Trent branch. The sales representative, Kai, was polite and helpful, and the vehicle was delivered to my home on the agreed date.Prior to delivery, I was informed that the following would be completed and provided:An emergency wheel repair kit (which was missing at the time of purchase)A full valetA new MOTA full serviceAs the car had no previous service history available, I was also assured that I would receive full documentation confirming all work carried out while the vehicle was in your care.However, as of today, I have only received the car and two keys. I have not received the following:Confirmation that the vehicle has been paid for in fullA copy of the MOT certificateThe V5C new keeper slipConfirmation or documentation of the service that was to be completedIn addition, the vehicle was delivered without a full valet and without the emergency wheel repair kit. I have attached photographs as evidence.This situation is very disappointing and falls significantly short of the standard I expected from an official retailer. I would appreciate your urgent assistance in resolving this matter and providing all outstanding documentation and missing items as soon as possible.Please note that I would like all communication regarding this matter to be in writing by email rather than by telephone.Please confirm how and when this will be rectified.Kind regards,Radoslaw Wyciechowski

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding Lookers Stoke-on-Trent BMW and the sale of Porsche Cayenne, registration AO71YZH.On 2 April 2026 I paid a £250 reservation fee and received written confirmation that the vehicle was reserved in my name for 3 days. On 3 April I received an official payment request stating "Thank you for your purchase of AO71YZH" with a deadline of 4 April 2026. I paid the £1,000 deposit on 4 April at 12:54 — within the stated deadline — and received payment confirmation from Adyen.Despite this, the dealership sold the vehicle to another buyer on the morning of 4 April, before their own deadline had expired. When I called to confirm my collection visit, I was informed the car had been sold. No prior notification was given to me.I subsequently spoke with Nick Mackenzie (Used Car Sales Manager) who acknowledged the vehicle was sold because the dealership had not checked for the payment. This was their error, not mine.BMW UK Customer Service (Nicola Duncan) has been notified and has confirmed the complaint is being monitored.I am not seeking a refund. I am seeking fulfilment of the sale agreement or a formal resolution. If this is not provided, I will escalate to the Motor Ombudsman.

Dear Sir/Madam,I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding a vehicle I purchased from yourselves in august 2025, along with the extended RAC warranty that was sold to me at the time.Original Registration is EA70ULFFollowing a recent visit to BMW for investigation of a suspension noise, I have been informed that the vehicle is fitted with aftermarket suspension. This was not disclosed to me at the point of sale. As a result, the issue is not covered under warranty.Had I been made aware of this modification, it would have directly influenced my decision to purchase the vehicle. I bought the car with the understanding that it met BMW Approved Used standards and was as described.I also hold photographic evidence from the point of purchase which clearly shows the vehicle sitting lower than standard. This has since been reviewed by a BMW technician at my local dealership, who confirmed that the vehicle appears to have been fitted with aftermarket suspension at the time of sale.This indicates that the modification was present and visible when the vehicle was supplied, and therefore should have been identified and disclosed by yourselves prior to sale.Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, goods must be as described and of satisfactory quality. The presence of undisclosed aftermarket components, which are now affecting warranty coverage, does not meet these requirements.In addition, I was advised by your team to take out an extended warranty via RAC. I have since been informed by my local BMW dealer that they do not work with RAC warranties and are unable to utilise this cover. I was also advised that I should have taken out a BMW extended warranty instead when my used warranty ran out. Which i is what i am going to do when it expires however this option was not offered to me at the time.This means the warranty I was advised to purchase is not fit for purpose, as it cannot be used in a practical or reasonable way within the BMW network.I also note from your Terms of Business that you state you do not provide advice or recommendations in relation to insurance products. However, I was advised by your staff to take out the RAC extended warranty at the point of sale.This raises further concern that either incorrect advice was provided, or that the product was not properly explained to ensure it was suitable for my circumstances. In either case, I do not believe reasonable care and skill were exercised when arranging this warranty.As a result of the above issues, I am requesting the following:- A full refund of the RAC extended warranty, with immediate cancellation and no penalties- Resolution of the suspension issue, either by repair at no cost, replacement with OEM BMW components, or appropriate compensationI would appreciate a prompt response within 14 days. If this matter is not resolved, I will escalate my complaint to The Motor Ombudsman and seek further advice via Citizens Advice.I trust you will treat this matter seriously and look forward to your response.Yours faithfully,Liam borsberry

I paid 100 pounds holding fee on a BMW only to be told by Kia it had been sold. This payment was paid in February and despite being promised by Kia I have not yet received a refund. I cannot believe BMW are in such financial difficulties they cannot return my 100 pounds. Please can some have the decency to to at least contact or the rightful thing and return my money.
