Appalling customer service experience at Murley Hyundai Warwick!!
I visited Murley Hyundai in Warwick at 3pm on Thursday 24th July, hoping for a positive experience as my partner and I were ready to purchase a new Ioniq 5 Long Range N Line in Ultimate Red with several upgrades. Unfortunately, what unfolded was nothing short of appalling.
Upon arrival, we were met with a completely disorganised and cramped parking area. Vehicles were haphazardly abandoned, and the only disabled space was blocked—particularly frustrating as my partner has mobility issues and a Blue Badge Holder. We had no choice but to park at the end of a row, where the car wasn’t obstructing anything but clearly wasn’t in a marked bay either.
As I walked towards the showroom, a stern-looking gentleman was stood outside. Rather than offering a greeting or any helpful direction, he simply stared. Attempting to lighten the mood, I smiled and said, “How are you doing? Parking's a little limited,” only to be met with a cold response:
“And that’s not a parking space you’re in.”
Not exactly a great first impression. I asked him where he would prefer I park, to which he bluntly replied, “Park it out on the road.” This was deeply inconsiderate—not only was there no effort made to assist us in finding a suitable space, but suggesting a customer (with a disabled passenger) leave their vehicle out on a public road instead of being accommodated on-site is completely unacceptable.
At this point, I was already disheartened and turned back toward my vehicle, only to be asked—without so much as a “hello”—“What are you here for?”
If this is how your sales team is trained to welcome prospective buyers, it’s no wonder we chose to take our business elsewhere. My reply was simple:
“To look at a new car, but don’t worry—I’ll go to the Hyundai dealership in Stratford-upon-Avon instead.”
In the space of a single minute, your staff managed to completely destroy any interest I had in purchasing not just from your dealership, but potentially from Hyundai altogether. What should have been an exciting moment turned into a complete disappointment.
I hope Murley Hyundai seriously reflects on the importance of customer service—especially for individuals with accessibility needs—and trains their staff to be more welcoming, professional, and empathetic. First impressions matter. In this case, yours was a disaster.
After a dismal experience at Murley Hyundai, we drove 35 minutes out of our way to visit Paul Rigby Hyundai in Stratford-upon-Avon—and we’re so glad we did.
From the moment we arrived, the difference was night and day. The dealership offered abundant, well-organised parking, and we were greeted immediately by friendly and welcoming reception staff, who swiftly arranged for a sales advisor to assist us.
We were fortunate to be helped by Carl, whose approach was nothing short of outstanding. He was knowledgeable, approachable, and incredibly accommodating—especially when we discussed specific needs relating to my partner’s mobility. Carl didn’t hesitate for a second when he noticed the distance to the vehicle on the forecourt—he personally fetched a car from the far side of the carpark and brought it closer so that my partner wouldn't have to walk too far. That thoughtful gesture meant a great deal to both of us.
Carl's attention to detail, care, and genuine passion for the brand completely restored our confidence in Hyundai after the earlier disappointing experience. We left the showroom feeling excited again—we’ve booked a test drive and will be placing our order through Paul Rigby Hyundai without hesitation.
