Jemca Toyota Croydon Avis 192

I had fantastic service from a salesman at Toyota Platinum Bath.
His name Kabir Letherbridge, he really was brilliant, he was very honest, patient and gave good advice a very pleasant person as well.
With his help I bought the right car and would recommend anyone to ask for him in person at Toyota Bath.

Around the 13th - 15th June 2022, I drove a friend looking for her 1st Mobility car lease-purchase. I suggested we try Jemca Lexus & Toyota in Croydon. Thinking we would get a top-quality customer service and help.

Much to my shock…
Firstly I drove up-to the “only blue badge space” we could see, then I was approached by a pleasant young lady asking, if I could park somewhere else? As her colleagues were hand washing cars a few spaces away 😳 when I pointed to the blue badge sign on the wall, she went oh ok.
Before we could get out the car, she asked can I help you 😳😳 I replied, can I get out the car first 🙈 …
Went in to Lexus showroom and was guided across the car park to their Toyota dealership.

We asked to see a mobility expert/ salesman, we were asked to sit and we were shortly approached by a youngish pleasant salesman.
• Who seemed to think we were his friends?
• He seemed more interested in what I was driving 🙈 this made me a little annoyed!

When I said we are new to this, can you help us and show us what cars are available on mobility for my friend!

He walked us out to see 2/3 cars parked side by side. The car we were interested in was there C-HR hybrid. My friend sat inside & no explanation or guidance was provided to her? In other words, see if you like it? If not? Who cares!!!

Then we went inside the showroom, he told us if we wanted a test drive, to go and think about it? and make an appointment to come back? Shocked!!!

Then I kindly requested any printouts of details to read up (for my friends 1st Mobility purchase, as she was willing to pay upto £5K deposit) The sales told us, to go look it up, on the internet 😳😳😳

He never asked for our number to follow up?

This left us thinking after we left? Why are these pointless people, employed here for?

We left with a bitter taste in our mouth and minds!

Absolutely useless and dreadful service from a major “Lexus and Toyota” dealership!!!

To this day, I’m still so angry about the quality of service at both your dealerships!!!

I would never purchase from these dealerships.

“Next-Day”
Thank you Audi Marshall Beckenham, for a great customer care and support in my friends purchasing / ordering the a lovely Audi Q2 S-Line auto and included a test drive!

So easy not to lose a sale, with a valued, polite, caring, kind customer service!

This seems to the only way I can complain to Jemca Toyota Edgeware as they only provide a customer online form which previously I have had no responses from.

I bought a car a year ago and the process was fine. The problem was there was no second key. As this is part of the contract, I was told it would be arranged.

Given I am writing this review clearly didn't happen;. I emailed, no response, I called and was told I would be called - I had told them many times that as a busy frontline NHS worker, I can't take phone calls while at work, and to either text or email. No texts and no emails.

Eventually I have given up trying to get a response and have paid £402 of my own money to get a key made at the local Jemca Toyota.

Once they got their money and I signed they don't care.

I emailed a sales enquiry on June 8th and was assured I would receive a response from the sales team. Over a week later...tumbleweed.
If this is the standard of their pre-sales customer service, I dread to think what their after-sales is like!

Jemca Enfield, the sales man I dealt with promised free services for 3 years as had been granted to my father when he had bought his car from the same showroom before. Tried to book car in for service to be told no documentation of that deal. When I complained I was effectively called a liar. The salesman had promised the car would be due for delivery on a certain day. On that day he appeared oblivious to his promise and instead offered other days later that week stating he hadn’t done the paperwork or got the car valeted. No apology!
As soon as they get your cash, customer service goes out of the window! It’s a highly unprofessional and untrustworthy organisation! Buy your car somewhere else!

The worst branch is Edgerware road , don’t trust them they are not honest people , I bought a car from them , hardly get back my deposit after 5 visits the branch , the car with out any mat , after one month they offer me mat but for different car so I refused to accept it ,they don’t give me a one year Toyota recovery ( supposed to be with the date of sale car ) today 19/05/2022 someone calling me that they will send the membership card in 28 days …. Look at this service from Toyota Edgware branch ,
I will not recommend that branch it’s the worst one

Very bad company, extremely unprofessional, unloyal and bad service to clients.

Do NOT use this dealership! They are dishonest, unreliable and have very poor customer service.
After being in desperate need for a car I got a friend to drive me from Sidcup to Croyden to purchase I car that I was interested in.
After test driving and speaking to one of their sales team, Sanjiv Patel, I agreed to purchase a Toyota Auris. I completed the paperwork and paid for the car on the same day. I was told the car was to be ‘prepared’ before I can take it home the following week.
A few days passed and still no response. I called multiple times and each time I called on the status of the car I was told Sanjiv would call me back (they gave me so many excuses; he was with a client, he was in a meeting, he was on training, he wasn’t working that day… just to name a few..) but still did not get a response. After the collection date had arrived I called again but this time stayed on the phone until Sanjiv was available. He told me he needed to look into it… I never got a response.. So I got my friend who took me to the dealership, to enquire about the car from a different number. Sanjiv called back immediately to him and said the car was no longer available. It was sold a few days, to someone else after I had already paid for the car. Sanjiv promised ‘give me one more day and I will find you another car with a better deal’, but as expected he never called me nor my friend.
Another week had passed and I had to ask their management team to get involved. We then asked for a refund for the car and was liaising with Sarim Ali. It’s now been 2 and half weeks since we paid Toyota the money. I’m Still yet to hear from anyone including the complaints manager, Elaine. I still don’t have my money.

I have just been fed a bunch of lies just to delay my money. I am still car-less I can’t take my 2 young children to places they want to go. I am unable to purchase another car as Toyota are holding my money for no reason. This is their fault and Me and my family are having to pay the consequences of their poor processes and dishonesty.

Rubbish Service, go somewhere else for a better service..

Used to take a test-drive , very pleased with customer service , lots of assistants were involved and all seems to be professionals!

Collected car on the 07 Jan 22 after 5pm Jemca Croydon. The very next day, noticed that the wing mirror light wasn't working. Tried to contact the showroom but no answers however, if you select the sales option you do get through to someone, WONDER WHY!!. After few messages left for the sale Person Estella to contact us & emails then, come up the excuses - from "we must have caught the wing mirror with something", "they need to order a bulb", they "need to book a ramp at the service centre" Supposedly a massive company like Jemca, didn't have a bulb in stock. Didn't realised to check the wing mirror you need to take the car on a ramp at the service centre. We finally get the car sorted a week after & it was a lose bulb. The next issue when purchasing the car, it comes with 12 month breakdown cover from AA & we were told by Estella we should receive our AA breakdown membership cover within 4 weeks. After 4 weeks we send an email & were told to wait a bit more. It's now 7 weeks still not received any membership through the post. Another sets of emails, we were then told that we can contact AA ourselves & to quote the car registration number. We did just that & guess what? The car is not registered on AA databases. We were told by AA agent that the Dealership/Salesperson should have registered the car & provide us with a Reference/offer code then we can contact AA to activate the membership. Well done Estella for doing absolutely nothing apart of course for taking our money, earning your commission & tried to sell us lots of Add-ons at exorbitant prices to bump up your commission - from paint protection, to insurance gaps, car dash cam & even car mats. I wonder what would happen if I had a breakdown! Avoid.

Purchased an ex demo Toyota Hilux Invincible X yesterday (21/02/2022)and after negotiations agreed a price and left a £500 deposit to be told an hour later that the car has been loaned to a customer as the customer has a hi ace being repaired and are waiting for the parts to come in ? and when i said thats ok ill (Be fair) wait for the loan to end they then said we are not sure how long the truck will be on loan ! So really your telling me that you have loaned a new truck to a customer and not sure when it will be returned lol .Don't use go somewhere else

Worst customer service I have ever had. Very quick at taking your money but we have now been trying to get a fully refundable deposit back for a month ! They won't return calls and are generally no better than a common theifs !!

We have a van under warranty. The engine is not starting. Jemca have had the van for three weeks and they can’t find the fault. We have not received a courtesy car nor a time frame when the car will be fixed. We can not operate without this van and it is seriously damaging our business. Don’t touch them

They took my car in for a recall at Jemca Edgware Road, the air bags were faulty. While it was there, they checked the whole car and found faults which they then emailed, texted and called me about. Faults that I knew about and had already planned to remedy. To top it off, they took personal items out of my glove box and actually pulled up my driver's mat and stuck it in my boot! A damn cheek, all of it. How dare they?

After 15 years or so of being a Toyota and Jemca customer I have been let down despite being promised a car delivered timely. Following a huge delay already I have been advised that my deposit will be increased in the new year and no one can tell me a delivery date. Resulting in loss of funds and unexpected lease payments. If that was not enough for an abusive phone call with the phone being thrown at me by a very unprofessional sales man at Jemca Edgware called Dev Patel.

Me and my Mrs went to see cars in Jemca Toyota in Bracknell. I'm pleased to say they were very helpful, not only that they were very friendly and focused on the customer's needs too. I'll recommend it to anyone who loves Toyota cars. Please do visit Jemca Toyota Bracknell. Like I said, everyone in the showroom is very friendly. They'll look after you.

Prior to purchasing my Toyota CHR, I had visited and contacted a number of garages. Once I had made contact with Jemca toyota in reading, I was introduced to Byron. I cannot fault the quality of customer service that we received from this young man. In order to be given good customer service we were happy to travel. We organised a test drive at Toyota reading and we traveled from Lincolnshire to do this. When we were introduced to Byron we could tell instantly that he was a genuine salesman. He constantly kept us updated with the progress of the sale and replied to our emails efficiently. I cannot fault the service that he provided and was extremely impressed with him. He is a credit to Jemca toyota reading.

I went to order a new car and I had to wait for 30 mins before I could talk to someone. I managed to place the order through a very rude sales agent after 2 hours. Instead of answering our questions, He was trying to sell a GAP insurance.

It has been a week and I called them many times and they can not confirm whether they placed my order to Toyota or not. They don't respond to the emails either. Very poor service. I wish there was a way to complain to Toyota about this dealership.

Make it feel like once you’ve purchased their obligation is fulfilled, sales great, product (cars) great. Trying to contact or book in for servicing the worse experience. Would use again for purchase but aftercare packages I would source elsewhere
