Hi Pamela, Thanks for leaving us a review. We are sorry to hear that you didnt have a good experience with us - we've looked into your application experience as we take negative reviews very seriously. Unfortunately the lender that had initially accepted your application changed their decision at payout stages, so we promptly placed you with an alternative lender to secure your finance. Your experience has been fed back to our team and to the lender to drive improvements in our service. We hope you are enjoying your new vehicle. With regards, Evolution Extra

Dear Roy, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback and we're sorry to hear that you're not having a good experience. It does appear that you have had an issue with your vehicle and so your comments have been fed back to our Account Manager who looks after your dealer. We hope you are successful in reaching a resolution. Kind regards, Evolution Extra

“Would not recommend. Processing is poor , timely , customer service below standard , call back and updates that should be provided as part of the service non existent and staff can be rude . I would strongly suggest looking for alternatives if possible. I had to handle a lot if the process myself , calling the lender directly when I have a broker that should be doing it. Stressful and disappointing experience of which was meant to be a happy experience buying a car.”

“Had an email to say I had been excepted for finance, which was great. “One step away from your new car” then when speaking to them they state only allowed so much. If they state this at the beginning then hopes wouldn’t be dashed. My own fault for bad credit due Covid, however they need to state the fact at the beginning”

Dear Adrian, thank you for your comments. The rate and finance deal that you are offered through our panel of lenders is influenced by your credit profile and personal circumstances. The lender we were able to obtain an acceptance from has a limit on the amount it will lend. We appreciate this can be frustrating but until we process your application, we do not know which lender to match you with and whether limits may apply. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Dear Anthony, we're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with the service you've received. We take all feedback seriously and so have reviewed your application process. Having done that, we are satisfied that your application was handled to a high standard. However, it did take longer than usual for us to receive the invoice for payout, which was outside of our control. We hope you're now enjoying your new car. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

“Customer service is rubbish they call once and put the phone down straight away. I called back they not answering. Finance price is rip off. On the Web showing £200 a month when they calculated for me they asking to pay £244 a month. Think in 60 month how much you will ripped off? Just Stay away from this company”

Dear Josh, we are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your experience with us. We have checked our call logs and can see both inbound and outbound calls which each time cut off seconds into the call. We also made several attempts to contact you, none of which would connect. We would therefore suggest that there may have been an issue with your phone/connection. Within that time, you then rejected our finance offer and so we made no further attempts to contact you. One of our team leaders has attempted to speak to you to discuss the change in rate, which is influenced by your credit profile and personal circumstances. You rejected our attempts to have a constructive conversation and provide an explanation. Should you change your mind and wish to discuss the matter, you are welcome to get back in contact. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

“The service was extremely poor. The advisors didn’t appear to know what was happening at all. I asked to log a complaint and speak to a manager and I was told I would receive a call back. I’m still awaiting this call. They had me sign 4 separate finance agreements, after each one they told me there was an error and blamed the car shop or the company the agreement was from. When I asked what has happened to all previous agreements and assurance these where destroyed they informed me they couldn’t answer that and would call back. I’m still awaiting that call also. The worst company I’ve dealt with.”

“Let's start positive, Danika was a pleasure to deal with. She was polite and seemed to actually help the process along. Wonderful asset to the company. As for the rest....well at least now I know why The Muppets are not on tv anymore, they are all working for this finance company. Why oh why could you not just ask for all of the information you need in one go??? Instead it takes days of me ringing and chasing what is happening and each time some more info is required. Total joke. The rating is poor but does not reflect Danika's input it is purely based on the rest of the dealings I had.”

“AVOID AVOID AVOID Disorganised, caused me so much stress. I had to repeatedly sign things, had to keep chasing for updates. They changed things and didn't inform me and some of the staff had a sarcastic attitude. If I had a choice I'd have cancelled and run away as fast as I could.”

Dear Victoria, we're sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your experience. We do take all feedback about our service levels seriously. Having investigated your issues, we can see that there were two re-signs required. This was due to incorrect information being provided to us and therefore was unavoidable since our lenders do require an accurate application to progress. We have also listened to the calls between our advisors and you and we cannot identify any sarcastic or unprofessional behaviour. Your comments have been noted and fed back to our team. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

Dear Robert, we're sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with our service. We have reviewed your comments and whilst we can see that there was an initial error made by us, you also provided us with inaccurate details on your paperwork, which led to delays in processing your application. Once this issue was identified, we then offered you priority service to get things back on track for you. We hope you are now enjoying your new car. Kind regards, Evolution Extra.

“Evolution funding will not be used again by me. It most definitely will not be recommended to anyone either. Danny & dean seemed very unprofessional as they was late with my finance car approval, Their attitude was unbothered, rude & very disrespectful….following on to dean saying may I quote “ what would you like me to do about it “ I think is quite rude I do not recommend this company keep as far away as you can save your time and money”
