Salesman (Nick Barr) was very helpful and gave me good advice and found me a great deal on a model I was interested in. He was very helpful and assisted me with car tax and insurance etc.I would recommend St helens Vauxhall to anyone.

Please contact customer as soon as possible, Customer has emailed called but know one has got back to him.in the last week to say what is happening with his vehilce which ahs been with branch for around 2 weeks now .

Can somebody please have Kyle Smith or anyone else located at the St Helens store to contact me. I had not had an update since Thursday last week. I have phoned and no one answers the call. I have emailed several times. I have spoken to people in South shields several times, who have attempted to put me through and have emailed the senior staff on 3 occasions. I need to know what is going on with my car. I had to cancel a trip today and lost money, which I had emailed that information when requesting an update. Why is it so difficult to speak to somebody at the store???

Just obtained on line valuation of my vehicle.

I purchased my vehicle in good faith from Vauxhall Lookers (St Helens) in March of last year (2025). Since then I have experienced an appalling catalogue of faults with it, starting only a few days after purchase. I don't feel confident driving the car without further faults occurring. In particular, I am greatly concerned with the safety of my children since, on two occasions, a fault has occurred on a motorway and another busy road, where we have had to wait for the RAC. Fortunately, so far we have been lucky to be able to pull over but my fear is that one day we will not be so lucky. The last breakdown was a result of mechanical negligence and faulty workmanship from St Helens repair garage. I have received emotionless apologies from the service desk and no accountability from the business as a whole - this is unacceptable!You are a reputable company, and I do not understand how such a faulty car, so unfit for purpose, would escape a pre-sale quality check. This unsafe car should never have been sold and I no longer confident that further faults will not occur on picking my children up or running them around. Unfortunately, I have lost all faith in both the car and your company.I have previously mentioned my dissatisfaction with Simon Bant (the salesman) and asked if it is possible to change vehicles but was not met with any sympathy and told that it would only cost me money.I have recently emailed the Phil McCooey (Branch Manager), David Oliver (After Sales Manager) and Larissa Currie (Front Desk Manager) with a list of faults that had occurred so far in the 10 months I have owned the vehicle and my complete dissatisfaction with the car and service I have received and disappointingly I only received an acknowledgement and pathetic response from Phil, who offered absolutely no solution or resolution to my complaint.Phil said he paid £800 for a check and preparation of the vehicle before it is sold yet after reading the list of faults I have had with this car he didn’t seem to be concerned that these ‘checks’ were clearly not carried out correctly. Who carried these checks out as they were clearly not done to a professional standard?Phil also stated that new tyres were fitted before sale, but the offside near tyre tread was at 3mm and perishing after only 9 months – surely if all tyres were replaced then either none should perish or they all would. I am seriously questioning if any checks were carried out or new tyres were fitted. Surely these are red flags Phil should be aware of before paying for any further checks pre-sale on any more vehicles being driven off your forecourt?I have requested a swap of vehicle but Phil's response to this is that he wouldn’t be able to do an exchange due to repairs having been carried out, time of ownership and the milage of the vehicle. The repairs made have been due to the vehicle being faulty pre-sale, and errors being made by St Helens repair garage – this is quite evident. With regards to time of ownership, this is irrelevant. No vehicle sold should have this many problems within the first 10 months of ownership.It is quite clear Phil, and Simon, are purely interested in sales and not after care of the customer. For the manager of a reputable business this is quite concerning.I am also disgusted at the lack of response, or even acknowledgement from David Oliver, the aftersales manager.I have been shown no remorse and offered no hint of compensation or sincere apology.I have tried to handle this situation to the best I can, however it looks like nothing will be done by Lookers St Helens. I am now left with an unfit vehicle that I have no faith in, costing me a significant amount of money already, and no guarantees more faults or breakdowns will occur.I have no faith in the vehicle which is concerning considering I use it as a family car for my children.I look forward to hearing from you to help resolve this matter.

I enquired about buying the below vehicle through St Helens Vauxhall I dealt with John Ashurst. I sent a payment of £14639 for the car Via bank transfer for some reason my bank kept declining the transfer And freezing the money. They have now said it is sent but the dealership have been nothing but awkward and rude and have breached GDPR by emailing my partner instead of me. I want to make an official complaint as I spoke with the dealer manager Phil yesterday evening and he was shouting down the phone and laughed when I said I’d make a complaint to lookers head office.

Good evening,I am forwarding the below email as I have not received any response since sending it on Wednesday.Due to the lack of acknowledgement or resolution, I am now raising this as a formal complaint regarding the £100 reservation deposit paid to Lookers Vauxhall St Helens.I would appreciate confirmation that this complaint has been logged and details of when I can expect a response.RegardsShannon QueenBegin forwarded message:From: Shannon QueenDate: 4 February 2026 at 18:03:03 GMTTo: reservationrefunds@lookers.co.ukSubject: Refund of Reservation Deposit – Vauxhall CorsaGood Evening,I am writing regarding the £100 reservation deposit I paid to Lookers Vauxhall St Helens for a Vauxhall Corsa reg: MS75 HVP. I have since cancelled the finance agreement and will not be collecting the vehicle.When I called to cancel, a member of your team said I would not get the deposit back. However, at no point prior to paying it was I informed, verbally or in writing, that the deposit would be non refundable. As the car was never collected, I request a full refund of the £100 deposit.Please confirm the refund by Wednesday 11th February 2026. If I do not receive confirmation or the refund by this date, I will escalate the matter through my bank via a chargeback, as the deposit was paid without clear terms and the service (vehicle collection) was not delivered.Thank you for your prompt attention.Kind regardsShannon Queen
