AVOID HOLDCROFT RENAULT HANLEY! A living nightmare since April 2023...
Where to start? I have had nothing but a horrible experience with this dealership since April 2023...from intermittent faults with my new vehicle which still to date have failed to be rectified despite numerous visits to the dealership and an additional visit to a different franchise, but I was also threatened by the service manager at Renault Hanley, Chris, when I said that I would be rejecting the vehicle and was also told that the faults I was experiencing were just characteristics, despite them not happening every time that I turned the car on.
I have an ongoing complaint with both themselves and the finance company at the moment where they have also taken it upon themselves to lie to the finance company! If you want to feel supported and understood when experiencing a problem with your vehicle, do not use Renault Hanley.
EDIT: After another long 8 months, I’m pleased to report that I won my complaint against the finance company via The Financial Ombudsman Service and can now reflect on my experience in more detail. In short, if you want to purchase a car with “characteristical features” which are actually problems that the dealership will wash their hands after doing little to nothing to help, whilst banning you from all of their dealerships as a result of your complaint then I would truly recommend Holdcroft.
However, if you value your time, a pleasant aftercare experience and don’t want to be lied to then I would suggest one of their competitors such as Stoneacre who are now my preferred dealer and who treat you with much more respect and don’t take you for a fool.
