Evans Halshaw - MG Grimsby Recensioni 6

I have recently bought a 2026 MG ZS Hybrid+ Trophy from this dealership.

I will start with my experience before the purchase.
I walked into the showroom wanting to look at MG, as I had been looking at other car makes like Dacia and Skoda. I did not have any knowledge of MG beforehand.
After 20 minutes of waiting, which was annoying (I was close to walking out), I was approached by Paul.
I can describe Paul as a friendly, charismatic, and straight-to-the-point person, which I like.
I told Paul what I was looking for, and he recommended the ZS and HS. I then test drove the HS, but it was too big for me. Then another day, I test drove the ZS, which was perfect for me.

My overall experience with Paul has been great. This was the only dealership experience where I did not feel pressured into buying a car or having to come up with some excuse to exit the dealership. I told them from the get-go that I was not looking to buy, but was looking at options. Paul respected my choice and did not pressure me into anything.
Once I was happy to buy a car, but Paul still did not pressure me into anything.

Whilst I was buying the car, I dealt with Callum, whom I also describe as friendly.
After some negotiation for the car, it was agreed that I would buy the car that day with car mats, a full tank of fuel and tyre and alloy protection.

MAKE SURE TO GET WHAT YOU NEGOTIATE IN WRITING.

The process of buying the car was a little bit stressful; this was my first ever brand new car. This was not the dealership's fault; however, waiting for the credit broker to approve the finance took over 48 hours.
Once it came through, I then organised a date to collect the car.

When I collected the car, the final bit of paperwork was straightforward. I then went to my new car, unfortunately, this was not covered, and then revealed to me. As this was my first new car, I would have liked something like that, as I have seen this from other dealerships.
When I sat in the car, I noticed that the fuel tank was not full, and there were no car mats. I went straight back in and notified Paul, who remembered that it was agreed upon and was very embarrassed. He then went to Callum, who stated that he did not remember what we agreed on (Again, if you agree on this, get it in writing).

Fortunately, Paul rectified this straight away; however, he couldn't rectify the car mats.
After the fuel was filled, I then drove off in my new car.
After a day, I decided to clean my car, and I then found a few scratches on the car, which I was upset about, as this was a new car. I immediately took pictures and notified Callum, who booked me in for an appointment to fix this. This issue was fixed without any cost to me. I was thankful that they fixed it, but I was a little disappointed that the car was not prepared well before I collected it on the day of purchase. Whilst at my appointment, which was 2 weeks after I collected the car, I asked about my car mats (which the dealership said were ordered 2 weeks ago). Callum stated that, unfortunately, my car mats had not been delivered and that there was a shortage of ZS car mats and that it could take 1 to 2 weeks more to arrive.
I accepted this, which leads me to now. The appointment was about 2 days ago at the time of me writing this review. Callum did say that he will call me when he gets the mats. I hope the mats come, and I will update the review when or if they come.

CONCLUSION -
Evans Halshaw MG Grimsby has been a good dealership for me so far, in comparison to past experiences I have had with dealerships and aftercare.
Paul was always respectful to me and my choices and did not push me at all. I would say Paul is an asset to this company. I probably would not have bought the car from this dealership if Paul had not been there.
Paul's customer service has been bang on.

There are a few things to get the 5-star review:
- Remember and write down what was agreed upon when you make a deal with a customer. This ensures trust in the company and customer.
- When buying new cars, it would be great to reveal it.
- Communication is key, call your customers and don't rely on customers always calling you.
- Go the extra mile, when I had my scratches fixed, my car was not washed. It would have been nice for it to have been washed; this would be great customer service.

New after-Sales Manager David is a breath of fresh air.
