Extremely Poor Service, Unprofessional, and Discriminatory
Extremely Poor Service, Unprofessional, and Discriminatory
My experience with this company was not only incredibly disappointing but utterly unacceptable, resulting in a three-hour round trip for absolutely nothing. Given that this company sells Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAVs), I expected a fundamental level of professionalism and sensitivity, which was entirely absent.
We arranged a specific time to view a WAV vehicle and explicitly stated we needed a test drive, knowing we were travelling a significant distance.
A Cascade of Failures
The problems began immediately:
Communication Breakdown: The day we were due to visit, I called several times as instructed but could not get through. It took an hour to finally get a call back and re-confirm our appointment.
Wasted Time on Arrival: Despite confirming our appointment, we arrived at the lot, which had no staff present, at the agreed time. We had to call again, and an employee finally arrived 20 minutes later.
Rudeness and Disrespect: The young man who showed us the vehicle was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. He spent most of his time on his mobile phone and was dismissive not only about the vehicle but also about my disability, which is appalling from a WAV seller.
Unacceptable Sales Tactics and Safety Refusal
Refused Test Drive: After traveling three hours, we were refused a test drive because the company "didn't have insurance" for it—a complete contradiction to our pre-arranged booking. We were also told we couldn't test the lift or even touch some of the vehicle's features.
High-Pressure, Unsafe Sale: When we pressed about the test drive, the staff member astonishingly told us, "Trust me, the van's perfect, you don't need to test drive it," while simultaneously expecting us to part with £20,000. To ask a disabled customer to purchase a specialised, high-value vehicle without even being allowed to test the lift or drive it is an outrageously unsafe and irresponsible demand.
Misrepresented Vehicle Condition: The van had significantly more cosmetic damage than was shown or described to us.
Rushed Out: The employee told us he had another customer arriving and that if we were still interested in buying, we would have to come back on another day.
In summary, this was a massive waste of time, fuel, and money. This company failed to honour our agreement, displayed shocking unprofessionalism, and demonstrated a profound lack of respect and care for customers needing specialised vehicles. Avoid this company at all costs.
