Genuinely Terrible Customer Service
Summary: The car we purchased from KRK Motors Ltd was not ready to be driven when they sold it to us, they never called to give an update on the car, they insulted me when I called them for updates, they did eventually repair the car, they drove it an additional 385 miles because they sent the driver in the wrong direction, they stole our phone holder from the car, they lied to my wife and to me over the phone on multiple occasions, they failed to communicate with us when the car was in their care. These are simply the facts.
I purchased a car from KRK Motors Ltd on February 25th and sought to return it March 10th. 15 minutes after driving the car off KRK's lot, the car started thumping and shaking as if it had a flat tyre. The problem seemed to go away part way through the drive, but then reappeared. I was unable to turn back however, because I needed to pick up my child from school. In addition to the thumping and shaking, we discovered that the oil was dangerously overfilled, that coolant was also overfilled, and that the break fluid was below the minimum line of the reservoir. When on the phone to KRK Motors Ltd about these problems, they agreed to take the car back to fix the issues, but insisted that it was our responsibility to bring the car to them. This is in violation of the Consumer Rights Act of 2015 which states that it is the responsibility of the seller to arrange for the return of goods, but we had the car towed back to them using our own breakdown cover. I never received calls from KRK Motors Ltd to update me on the situation. I usually had to call 2 or 3 times before I they would pick up the phone and speak to me. In these phone conversations, the salesman, B. Ali, was often rude and insulting and difficult to work with. He was very polite and friendly before we purchased the car, but this changed when we began having issues with them. KRK Motors Ltd never clearly or accurately described to us what the nature of the problem was or how it was fix and were never able to give us confirmation that there was no lasting damage to the vehicle. In addition, they kept telling us about things that needed repair on the car which they hadn't told us at the time of purchase. These included replacing break pads and replacing the missing fusebox cover which they didn't take responsibility for. When the car was eventually repaired, I was told that it was on it's way to me at 11am. I live a 75 minute drive from KRK Motors Ltd. When it had not yet arrived by 3pm, I called B. Ali again to check on the whereabouts of the car. At this point, I had no confidence in the trustworthiness of KRK Motors Ltd or the vehicle I had purchased from them. I called B. Ali back to inform him that we would like to return the car and receive a refund. He became irrate and immediately began to yell at me and insult me over the phone before hanging up on me. I had told him not to deliver the car as we no longer wanted it, but he refused to listen to me. His driver finally arrived at 5:30pm and tried to force us to take the keys to the vehicle, but we refused as we were set on returning it as I had stated to B. Ali on the phone. The driver complained to us that he had been given the wrong post code by his boss, and had driven the car for 2 hours in the wrong direction, putting an additional 385 miles on the car unnecessarily. Once my wife and I had gone back inside after refusing to take the keys, the driver came back and posted them through our letter box and left. My wife spoke to Kamil, the director of KRK Motors Ltd, on the phone that evening and he said he would give us a refund. However, in response to our email requesting a full refund the following day, he refused stating that we would have to take him to small claims court if we wanted the money back. Having no confidence in KRK Motors Ltd or the car we purchased, we decided to take the car for an independent, full inspection which we paid for out of pocket. As the report from the inspection was good, we are now keeping the car but are seeking compensation from KRK Motors Ltd for the miles carelessly added to our car and for the phone holder that was stolen/removed from the car without our consent or knowledge and never returned.
