I was happy with the service at Group 1 Ford Wokingham because the salesmen are straight forward, competent and a pleasure to work with. BUT their computer systems need serious improvement particularly for processing their paperless orders and invoices, it takes far too long to process and "sign" everything, remote access doesn't work, system times out before the pass code arrives which is useless. So you can only do it in person at the showroom which defeats the object of the exercise and delivers frustrating customer experience. Suggest the director that approved the system actually tries using it. If I hadn't been buying cars from Wokingham for many years I wouldn't use them again because of this clunky system.

Group 1 Volkswagen Lowestoft were great because the approach and attitude of the staff was 1st class, I am a farmer and not always dressed appropriately to visit a car showroom, on a recent visit to VW Norwich I was ignored and when a member of the sales team did give me some attention he was arrogant & rude - I walked out of the showroom vowing not to go back. My visit to Group1 Lowestoft was a spur of the moment visit to look at an Audi Q7 I noticed on the forecourt, it was only whilst browsing I noticed the VW Touareg when the sales person Andrew approached me he was polite and pleasant, I had no intention of buying a VW however when he came back with the keys to the Touarag we sat in the car and looked at some of the features the car had to offer I realised I liked it, a few days later I brought my wife to Group 1 Lowestoft to give the car a test drive we decided to go ahead with the purchase. All of the staff were very happy to help Andy with any matters relating to the paperwork and handover of the car when we collected it - I am extremely pleased with the car.

I'd definitely recommend Group 1 Volkswagen Southend because from my initial phone call and subsequent visits I never once felt any kind of selling pressure. My questions were answered and options explained very well and I felt very comfortable with my purchase of a used Tiguan. Thank you Rob Earl!
