Motorvogue Avis 

Avoid this company – my experience was terrible.
I paid £550 for a service on my van and opted for the complimentary clean. I wish I hadn’t bothered. The vehicle was returned with mud smeared across it, and it was left scratched and still dirty. It certainly wasn’t cleaned to any acceptable standard.
I also received a call asking if I’d like my van valued as I’m considering an upgrade. I agreed, but I never received a valuation or any follow-up.
Given the overall experience, I’m now questioning whether the service was properly carried out at all, and I feel as though I’ve wasted £550.
I will be raising this matter with Renault, as I don’t understand why they allow this dealership to operate as an approved dealer. I will not be using this company again.

What a cowboy firm this has turned out to be, in Kempston Bedford! I am a dedicated Renault user, I had a long affinity with Wests of Clapham, Bedford, before they sold to Motorvogue in Kempston. This was baround 2019ish. From 2019, I must say, I had a great relationship with Ms Gibson who used to work in the Service department, and I endured the constant movement from one site building to another and then back to the first building again. In 2025, I traded, for an acceptable price, my old 17 plate Megane, in for a 25 plate Captur. The car is lovely, but the reversing camera went off-line and back on line a week ago so needed to arrange this AND the first Service from my 2 year Service Plan I bought with the Captur. When I called Motorvogue, even though Renault is stated in the intro message on the phone, when I got through to a very nice lady, she said that Motorvougue gave up their dealership in December 2025 which was very quickly imposed. She said that Motorvogue could not effect any repairs and also suggested that I get a refund for the 2 year service plan and 'basically' sod off!! My closest Renault dealer is now located in Letchworth. When Motorvogue wanted to SELL me something, there was no let up in correspondence to me, yet when somethinmg detrimental takes place, NO COMMUNICATION WHATSOEVER! My advice to potential buyers of cars in dealerships, ensure you raise this type of example and get IN WRITING, what would happen, (obviously if just losing dealership and not just going out of business, which is a differentr matter) should the Brand you are buying, no longer come under their dealership. Absolutely NO respect for a long time and dedicated customer. This above all speaks volumes of their ethical values. BUYER BEWARE!!! PS, I elected to force them to honour my 2 year Service Plan with them, as my contract is with MOTORVOGUE and not RENAULT!!

Shocking, sold me a car 3 weeks ago. Didt tell me there was no log book, didt tell me they hadnt moved the car to trade and still in the old keepers name, unable to tax car also had teo warn front tyres. fobbed off and ignored, asked for refund to go else where. Lets see how long this takes and what else they can mess up UPDATE... car is now back up for sale.. still no log book still not moved to trade, company full of lies. still waiting for refund.. im doing all chasing contated customer services as advised on their reply and guess what, they also dont answer or return calls, i hope i dont have to get the courts involved to get my 10k back off these bunch of crooks

Totally incompetent. Don't use.
Back again for them to look at the issue with the lane assist where the car pulls you across the road and the inside of the o/s/f wore, and a service. They suggested again to get the wheel alignment checked. This has been done and was perfect. Tyre garage even laughed that it's a common issue thet come across and suggested the ADAS needs calibration.
Won't ever use them again, plus Seat customer service is awful.
Looking to use an independent garage for any future work, or might just sell my74 plate Leon thats a piece of junk.
Update......
Their response is just the typical reply that I had expected. May I just refer to the title!
The reviews and the overal score supports my experience

After 14 days I’m still waiting for my deposit refund, I’ve tried to call them no respond or they just told me that they’ll call me back,( never happened)
I’ve sent emails but the only thing that I’ve got is ignorance. The worst dealership in Kings Lynn
AVOID THEM, ESPECIALLY ROAN AT KINGS LYNN RENAULT!!!

I normally pride myself with being diligent and careful with my money (particularly when you're considering such a major expense such as buying a car). However I have to admit I should have spent more time reading these 1 star reviews on Trustpilot before I handed over my hard earned cash. The Google reviews are not representative of their service in my opinion. In summary, I provided full payment for a vehicle I had noticed online (30th Dec to secure the special deal which had been offered to me). This payment was requested by the Alfa sales manager and was made in good faith based on the photographs and description provided to me. As I live over 250 miles away I could not physically view the car and I sought (and was given) reassurance from the sales manager that any money I paid would be returned if the vehicle did not meet my expectations, no quibbles. However, the car turned out to be not as described. As a consequence I decided not to proceed with the sale, requesting the full return of my funds (10th Jan). To date (as of 26th Jan) no monies have been returned to me. I've emailed customer services and made several calls to the dealership and got nowhere. Now, here is the important part, we are not talking about a few hundred pounds, not even a few grand, I am owed over £26K. Yes, over £26,000. This dealership is unfairly keeping my money for no reason. This has caused an enormous amount of stress. I cannot understand the delay, it's a straight forward transaction to refund me.

I recently purchased a car from Motorvogue Bury St Edmunds and had an excellent experience with Joe Brown. He went out of his way to answer all of my questions — even when I asked the same things more than once — and he always responded to emails quickly, even two weeks after delivery.

Joe was the main reason I decided to go ahead with the purchase, as I had been in two minds due to other reviews. He has been consistently polite, professional, and helpful throughout the process. The car was handed over in a very clean and well-valeted condition, which I appreciated.

Overall, I am very pleased with both the service and the car, and I would happily recommend Motorvogue Bury St Edmunds and Joe Brown to others.

I was a little worried when I took my car for a 3 year service given all the negative reviews here on Trustpilot however my experience was excellent!

The 'while you wait' service took just under 2 1/2 hours. I received a video of my safety check (all good this time), and the car was washed and cleaned.

Nikita was excellent and very helpful and the whole experience was great!

I will be buying a new Hyundai Tucson in about a years time and based on the service I received (and assuming that next years 'final' service is as good as this one) I have no hesitation on using Motorvogue Hyundai Norwich for this.

Great Job Team!

And so it goes on I received an email from Megan on 18/11/2025 apologising about the stains on my passenger seat and she also advised that Ann-Marie would be contacting me later that afternoon to arrange professional cleaning . Nine days later I have still not had contact from her or anyone else at the dealership and there are no messages on my home or mobile phone. So Customer Service is non existent yet again.

Motorvogue Bedford

Car booked in for service in July 2025 (which I had to wait over 8 weeks for an appointment for so always book well before your service is due as I was told if I drive 1500 miles over service due it will invalidate my warranty!! but had to wait nearly 8 weeks from the day my service light went on for an appointment had to to totally limit my driving in the summer with the kids on holiday and commute to work this was very difficult and unnecessary)
Got the service report through was told that I had a warranty repair that needed immediate attention. 4.7.25
Could not book repair until 3rd September. Got a call on 2nd September at 4.30pm that the parts had not arrived and need to re-book, I run my own business so this was very inconvenient at such late notice. Was told I would be contacted to arrange a re-booking. Did not hear from anybody, was sent a message on 21.10.25 advising that work highlighted on my service was due, I called to book thinking it was for the warranty work and when I spoke to them was told it was for aircon maintenance ! when I queried this they had no idea what I was talking about and was told they would send me my service report again ! once received it quite clearly says on there warranty work require immediate attention for leaking shock absorbers I called them back was told I would get a call back from service, did not hear a peep. Called back today 26.11.25 to chase and was told the part was in but the earliest they could get me in with a courtesy car would be 15th January 2026 which means I had been waiting nearly 6 months for warranty repair that requires IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. So have been driving around in an unsafe car for 6 months brilliant. I have asked to be contacted by a Manager lets see if that happens in the next 6 months.
NICE CAR - POOR SERVICE -

Brought a Jeep Renegade from King's Lynn and customer after sales were awful. Work promised never got done and after 3 months of constant chasing finally got done they forgot to replenish the oil. Absolutely shocking and car was never serviced at all

Purchased Abarth 124 from the Bedford site. All round a good experience. Jessica was friendly and helpful and good comms throughout. Early days, but so far really pleased with the car. Recommended.

We had a really good service at Motorvogue Dunstable. Stef at reception treated us well and the service was exceptional.

Mark gooda of alpha Romeo helped me with my motorbility car sale ,
Not only was he informative he also shared more time than needed to ensure it all ran smoothly from looking at spec and Colours to explaining how to put a cherished no. Plate on my new junior! At 10/10 service and highly recommend mark and his team to others looking into motorbility, I tried peagout but they didn’t come close to the service I received hence the alpha junior over peagout 2008
Well done team

I have returned the Jeep on the advice from my solicitor sent them two recorded letters and have had no reply from then will not go into the lies i have been told about the car.
Now they have sent me an email saying they rejected my claim and to pick the
car up.

The only contact you have had with me is to say pick up the car.

Awful Service / Experience - Bury St Edmunds

Took my Peugeot there after booking an appointment due to an 'Electronic Traction' fault. Car was under extended warranty from another retailer - was advised when booking that just needed to bring my warranty - which I did.
On arrival I raised a concern about the air-con and was told that for them to check that I would have to pay an additional £189, I queried this due to the warranty, but was told I had to pay if I wanted it checked. I said not to bother. Returned to garage later to be told the 'Electronic Traction' fault was due to a failed air compressor unit. They refused to talk to the Warranty holder and said I had to, then tried to hold my car to ransom for £189 charge for the diagnostic on the Air-Con - when it was pointed out that we had discussed this on drop off they told me it was their policy not to release a car without payment - I had to explain this was a civil matter and not returning my car on request is a criminal offence... These people an an absolute joke, rude and quite frankly useless.

Disgusting service and treatment
Do not buy from here
Waste of so so much time and money

I cant give one star ! Kingslynn norfolk.moyorvogue. I viewed and drove a car I picked for my mobilty.paid a deposit then the daid amount on pick up..I phoned for many months no one returned a call. I finally got answer they have losed Renault dealership.? June 2025 But I viewed and paid April 2025.They need to honour the contract.otherwise trouble I dont want bully tactics..just my car Karl .

My Alfa Junior (only 2 months old) was taken to Motorvogue Norwich for repairs almost 9 weeks ago - but its clear Motorvogue (an Alfa dealer) aren't trained to fix them and can't even get the spare part they think may be needed. Patchy communication and its very clear that they're not that interested, they've told me it's not worth their while spending a few hours of their time doing work on my car to try to fix it. They clearly think its much better i remain without the car, rather them going to any bother. Hopefully my claim for a full refund of the car price will go through soon and it becomes their problem.

Avoid at all costs!! Shocking customer service experienced. Was only to have my car in the garage for one day for an EV service, end d being 5 days. Luckily it was Motability and I had a courtesy car (never get a Jeep Compass Hybrid). Took my number down wrong, never contacted me via email to collect my car after I didn’t answer a phone that doesn’t exist. I chased the next day and they checked my number which they corrected and couldn’t get hold of the garage and said they would call back and didn’t. Chased again the next day and exactly the same again, didn’t change my number on their system and never called back. By now and it’s Saturday and I’m fishing with my grandson 50miles from home and I decide to read my emails. Lo and behold an email from them at 5pm on Friday saying I need to come and get my car. Absolute jokers. Obviously I wrote a snotty email back and said I’d bring it in Monday as closes Sunday .took the car in and explained to the service receptionist about my experience (this wasn’t one I had a conversation with already as was male). He asked what my phone number was and I told him and guess what he said, they had the wrong phone number for me!!! Ffs it’s just beyond comprehension. I’d expect better service from 10 year olds
In addition I called about my brakes weeks before and said they were grinding when I braked, the receptionist told me I must have a stone in my brakes as the car is only 7 months old (it had 10000 miles on it) to which I disagreed with. Mentioned again when booked in for service and nothing done about it, couldn’t have even tested them as the mechanic would have noticed. The ignorant receptionist thought she knew better and didn’t even note it. I’ve only been driving 34 years and have a good basic knowledge of cars and worked for 4 years in a main garage when I left school :). She’s losing her company money
