Thank you to Rachel Sword at Lookers Ellesmere Port for her support, advice and knowledge when buying my new carThis is the second time Rachel has helped me and her friendly nature is always really helpfulI would recommend her to anyone wanting a first class service with Lookers. Thank you

Today I asked an independent garage to check if my exhaust was repairable. It was quite obvious due to the rear exhaust pipe being almost entirely detached from the rear most silencer. I contacted lookers Vauxhall who said they would need to charge me £170 to tell me that the exhaust needs to be changed. This of course i already knew. This charge is highly unreasonable given I already know the issue. I have been a lifelong customer at lookers for 30yrs and just wanted a round abt quote to make the repair. I therefore refused the £170 offer of telling me what I already know and was dismissed unceremoniously with little regard. I have until now had such reasonable and fair treatment at lookers with all the sales and service staff over 30yrs but this indifference to my situation tastes rather sour. I sincerely hope someone sees sense and will accommodate what to me sounds like such a no trainer. £170 for diagnostics that are on now way required is opportunistic robery especially in my case where I have seen a almost full circumference failed weld on the rear most silencer. After having such a poor response from the guy in question I don't particularly wish to deal with him again. I have developed a rapport over the years with the female service staff. Eyvonne being the main one. We were both young when we began our journey.

I am writing to formally complain about the service I have received since purchasing my car from Lookers in August 2025.Vehicle details:Make/Model: Seat AronaRegistration: ML69GUKPurchase date: August 2025Sales location: Lookers Ellesmere PortSince buying the vehicle, it has had multiple issues that have required it to be returned for repairs on several occasions. Each time the car has been in for repair, I have received little to no feedback about what was happening, how long the work would take, or what repairs were actually being carried out. I have repeatedly had to chase for updates, often without any meaningful response. Since purchasing and my first putting a complaint in, the car spent more time in a garage than on my own driveway. I was paying finance monthly on a car I didn’t have in my possession.In addition, I have submitted complaints and raised concerns about both the ongoing faults and the lack of communication, but these have been largely ignored. This lack of customer care and failure to keep me informed has caused significant inconvenience, stress, and a complete loss of confidence in the service I have received from Lookers.The vehicle has still not been fully resolved to a satisfactory standard, and I am extremely disappointed that, several months after purchase, I am still dealing with unresolved issues and poor communication. I currently have squeaking brakes which when taken i was told “can’t be replicated and the technician couldn’t hear it”.I am therefore requesting:1. A full written response to this complaint within 14 days.2. A clear explanation of what repairs have been carried out to date and what faults remain outstanding.3. A concrete plan to fully resolve all remaining issues at no cost to me.4. Appropriate compensation for the inconvenience and poor service I have experienced.If I do not receive a satisfactory response within 14 days of this email, I will have no option but to escalate the matter to The Motor Ombudsman and consider further action.Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a reference number for my case.

I am concerned that an issue with the car I purchased has been going on from the first few weeks I purchased it and roughly 10 months on it has not been resolved. The oil light on the dashboard has been intermittently coming on since I bought the car. It has had an oil consumption test and filter changes and the issue has still not been resolved. It has been giving me lower mpg than I expected and this has been a disappointment. I have previously raised a concern about what I have read when researching the issue. I have read that problems with the wet belt seems to be a common fault and I am very concerned. I am worried that the issue that has yet to be located and fixed may be causing further damage or that something has still not been repaired or replaced that is still causing the oil light to come on in the car. I raised my concerns as soon as I noticed the issue with the oil light coming on within the first week or so of purchasing the car. I have done what has been asked of me and driven the car for the testing that was completed. I am very worried that I will be expected to pay for repairs on this car that have or could be still ongoing due to an unresolved issue that was raised within the initial vauxhall warranty period. My car is a vauxhall grandland X DG19TKN. I have rang yet again to book it in for another diagnostic and this has got to be about the 5th or even more times that it has been in to be looked at. I feel that the staff at the Ellesmere port branch that I have spoken to are all professional, helpful and polite and I have no concerns about the sales or after sales team in the branch. I am not happy however and need to complain about the issue on the car is ongoing and unresolved. I am concerned and would like a resolution to this issue by the car being looked at and repaired. My car will be coming up for a service next month and I am concerned that there will be things wrong with it. It is due to be reviewed again in the Ellesmere port branch at the end of this month. I have also had to take a lot of time off work to get to and from Ellesmere port to frequently drop the car off, not an easy task with with two young children in car seats.

I have now put 2 complaints in, in November and December, and have heard nothing. I demand a response to both of my complaints
