Eden Motor Group Bewertungen 

There was an urgency for me to get an automatic car because of the situation with my foot that is deteriorating. In particular David Steele was instrumental in getting my situation resolved. He went above and beyond what is expected of him. I can’t praise David enough for his professional approach, dedication and overall helpfulness.

Everyone is so helpful & attentive, and friendly , nothing is too much trouble, that's all the staff, reception, mechanics, sales, service, 10 out of 10!!

But today car Vauxhal Corsa I forgot hime name he is very good 😊 explain nice to talk with him thank you 🤩

Great service, car left clean, courtesy car was good, efficient communication

Although they were not expecting me, due to a clerical error, they did everything to accommodate me.
The reception was very helpful and efficient. The service was excellent and completed in good time.
Everything was handled very effectively with the leasing company without any need for me to be involved.
Overall, they are to be highly recommended.

When I brought the car I went to London two days later . While I was travelling to London I had to put air in the tyres as the warning light came on. The car was booked in with Eden a week later. They found that the tyre was unrepairable . The manager said it was not down to them smirking as he said this. I had no choice but to purchase a new tyre on a car I had brought on 23/05/2025. On the check list the two front tyres were highlighted as amber which I had asked to be changed on the day I picked up the car. After it was repaired I had to return it as the radio didn’t work . I returned home and noticed that a light on the dash board had come on . I returned the car back to Eden where they said a new battery was required and that they would order one. I went to pick my daughter up and the car wouldn’t start. I phoned Eden and they said that they don’t recover the car I then phoned the AA and they informed me that the car was a lease car which I wasn’t told at the time of purchase. The following day Eden came out to the car and got it started and took back to the garage and fitted a new battery.During the sale of my car on 23/05/2025 I was told to click the satisfaction button as the director didn’t like bad comments. Also at the same time I was told that the car would do about 47 MPG. I have filled up four times and the average is 29 MPG. As I am a pensioner this is not good for my finances. The experience I have had with Eden the worse I have had in my years of driving. I look forward to a director contacting me .

Polite and efficient

Placed a £500 deposit on a new Peugeot approximately 6 weeks ago. This week I found out that they were unable to supply the car in the agreed colour. Communication is always one way, I continually have to chase them, and they consistently fail to respond to emails. Only when you copy in the CEO does the response change. They did their best to keep my business for obvious reasons, but never really had my best interests at heart.
Managed to find the exact car I was looking for elsewhere, something Eden were unable to do for me as a Peugeot main dealer! Unfortunately I have had to pay a £300 broker fee as a result of Eden letting me down.

Emma Ames who helped me today with a Mot and service was fantastic and when I came back to get my car and to be told that I was on the wrong plan but the lady went though everything and made me on the right plan

Quick, friendly and a good deal. Will buy again from them

I’ve lost both time and money dealing with Eden Kidlington, and I feel compelled to warn others.

I purchased a Citroën Berlingo van from them (despite them being a Vauxhall dealership). During the sale, I was heavily encouraged to purchase their extended warranty, with the promise it would cover most issues and give me peace of mind. I reluctantly agreed — a decision I deeply regret.

Within 3 months, I experienced battery issues — the van wouldn’t hold a charge and needed to be jump-started regularly. Eden Newbury (closer to where I lived at the time) was initially unhelpful, but Eden Kidlington eventually replaced the battery under the Spoticar warranty in November 2023.

Fast forward to May 2025: the same issue reappears. I had recovery out three times, all confirming the alternator was fine and suggesting a parasitic drain. I informed Eden’s head office and booked it in, explicitly noting that the battery had previously been replaced and something was causing it to drain.

I was told diagnostics would cost £150, but if a fault was found, it would be covered. I also asked about a courtesy vehicle and was told yes. However, on arrival, they had no courtesy car available. I was stuck until someone could pick me up.

Later that day, I was called and told further testing would be required — for another £150+VAT. I agreed reluctantly, still hopeful the warranty would cover the issue. What I didn’t see until the next day was an email sent late the previous evening, stating that because it’s a Citroën, they didn’t have the proper tools to fully diagnose the issue. This is despite charging me more money for diagnostics!

Two days later, still no courtesy car, and no communication until I chased them. On the third day, I was told “no fault found”, but I needed a new battery at my own cost — over £200. Nothing would be covered under warranty.

I reminded them they installed the battery, but was told it was an aftermarket battery with only a 12-month warranty, which had just expired. I refused their replacement and returned to the dealership to collect the van.

I asked to speak to the manager. His attitude was dismissive and unhelpful. I pointed out the contradictory information and lack of service, and offered to pay only the original £150, given the circumstances and their own admission (via email) that they couldn’t do proper diagnostics. He flatly refused and threatened to withhold my van until I paid.

After further arguing, he suddenly said, “Oh, we didn’t realise your van is 8 years old,” and reduced the charge to £240 — still outrageous for no resolution. I asked what they actually did for diagnostics, and was told they found and removed an aftermarket fuse. I never installed any fuse — this is how the van was when I bought it from them. When I asked what the fuse was for, I was told no one knew, and the technician was not available. I left my email for follow-up — and unsurprisingly, I’ve heard nothing since.

Avoid the Extended Warranty – It’s Virtually Useless

One of my biggest regrets is purchasing the extended warranty. It was sold to me as essential protection “just in case something goes wrong.” Yet when something did go wrong, the warranty covered nothing — not the diagnostics, not the battery, and not even proper investigation. All I got were surprise charges, poor service, and vague excuses.

If you're offered the extended warranty — don’t waste your money. You’ll be left fighting to get any support, and paying out of pocket anyway.

Summary:

Warranty was effectively worthless.

Poor communication and last-minute hidden charges.

Staff were dismissive, unaccountable, and more focused on getting paid than helping.

They admitted they didn’t have the right equipment but still charged for diagnostics.

Zero resolution.

Buyer beware: If you value transparency, aftercare, or proper diagnostics — avoid Eden Kidlington at all costs.

Friendly informative front desk staff at Vauxhall Fareham. Happy to help and came back fast with any queries. Good visual inspection videos. And proactive with sorting warranty issues.

Personal service was very good and I'm very pleased with the vehicle.

Amir was very helpful in my vehicle purchase.

Friendly and efficient service. I will be going back many times

Came in as quite complicated with two Mazdas that needed selling and they went through all the options in a timely manner

FAB service. Very helpful staff.

Generally Ok experience but not so good this time.I had always had my cars paid through my business account and when I ordered my third car from Eden I wasn’t told that had to change. A couple of days before pick up I was told they would only set up with my personal account. No notice, no apology and didn’t respond when I complained. Not great.
I have already emailed the customercare email address and no one replied so I'm not sure how genuine the below response really is.

Always a great service. Staff a great. Barbara on Service is one of the best and so helpful. She put 200% into her job and Eden should be so pleased.
