Hello Stephen, and thank you for your candid review. We are sorry that your delivery didn't go as planned. At the moment, there is a significant volume of challenges facing the motor industry as a whole; in the UK, we have Brexit and the slowing of the port's processes. The pandemic, coupled with a huge microchip shortage, is making the production and delivery of cars extremely difficult. Of course, you may already have known this, or our account manager may have passed this onto you. And if not, then it's really our communication that has let us down here. We have had similar feedback from some customers, and so as of next month, we will be starting a new member of staff that will solely deal with updating customers on their orders. A job that was shared previously. Without feedback like yours, we can't improve our service. But with it, we can, have and will continue to do so. Many thanks. If you would like to discuss further, please email our customer services team at CRM@FVL.co.uk We hope you enjoy the new car in the end and hope this experience doesn't put you off using FVL again in the future. Happy Motoring, FVL

All in all, friendly, personal customer experience. Whilst all of my queries/issues were resolved pretty quickly a downside was that I was misled a few times regarding the delivery process of my car. The delivery of the car was 6 weeks later than what I was originally told. Furthermore, I had to ring up consistently to receive an update on my order post the original delivery date. A better experience would have been the agent being proactive and providing me with an update instead of myself having to get into contact for answers.

Hello Henry and thanks very much for your review. Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that our communication has let us down here. We will have a look into where we went wrong with it, both with you and in connection with our supplier about your vehicle. We do get our lead times from the manufacturers so this is what gets passed onto you, but lately, with the current scenario, the logistics have been affected quite a bit, not an excuse here, just possibility. Thanks again for your feedback, we can't improve without it and we hope you enjoy your new car, now that you have it. Happy Motoring, FVL

They did a good job up until the order was placed. After that the updates were very inaccurate.

Hello and thank you for sharing your feedback. We are extremely sorry to hear that you were frustrated by the process. Please rest assured that one of our agents will go through your file to find out if anything out of the ordinary occurred and feed this back to the management team. We work very hard at making things as easy as possible for our customers, now more than ever there are certain regulatory processes that must be adhered to that we are aware can make things feel slightly protracted. We do our best to keep these to a minimum where possible. We hope it won't stop you from coming back and using our service again and we hope your new car was worth the frustrations. Happy Motoring, FVL

John Gallagher was my first point of contact and he was very good. Got back to me quickly to answer all my questions The delivery guy didn't make me happy he made me feel rushed and didn't weant me to spend long checking the car before I signed.

Hello Mr Heal and thanks for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We are delighted to hear that you loved our service and professionalism. We're of course sorry to hear that your vehicle arrived in less than perfect condition. Our dealers are always asked to clean the cars prior to delivery but in certain circumstances this is not always possible. As part of our process we now call, email and text every customer one day after delivery just to make sure that everything meets the customers expectations. We appreciate your feedback again and we hope you enjoy your new car. Happy Motoring, FVL.

Good value for money and initial salesman was very helpful. Once I paid initial fee, communication was none existent unless I would contact first. Car Sat in the depo for a wee when I was told I would be contacted as soon as it arrived. Would still be waiting on it just now were I not to contact customer service.
