I took advantage of their £99 service. It unsurprisingly came back with a whole host of issues and a requirement for two new tyres. I said thank you very much, paid the £99 and said I'll sort everything myself. Took it to my mate who is a mechanic who checked it over an told me the issues were non issues and the tyres were fine. Me thinks they're desperate for cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the Nations Car Dealer as Approved by Tynpotwald, who have given them their seal of approval. Sarcasm apart, I’ve heard nothing but negative reviews for the service. Also apparently they have a large turnover of staff, so I’ve been reliably informed. Still it’s indicative and sets the scene when your so feted and ‘arse-licked’ by IOMG.

They are advertising for staff on Facebook. There are a number of comments under the ad. I'll leave it there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it would be an idea to tell them we are the "Isle of Man" not the Isle of White ( or Monaco ), as they seem to have the impession, we are all driving around in "Porche`s", and multi millionaires , i just dont understand why they have built that place, the POR ( Profit on Return ) for that must be huge, ( even without the fecking firework display ), i wonder just how much discount they would really go down desperate they are to secure a sale ?

Do you mean this one ? ----------------------------------------- I would not recommend purchasing a car through this company at all. I bought a VW Golf from them at the start of the year that is still under manufacturer's warranty. I was told at the time I purchased the car that MotorMall are the IOM VW dealer. On 27th June, over two weeks ago, my car's waterpump failed and the engine warning light came on and told me to not to drive the car as it was overheating. I pulled over and called MotorMall - I was told to call VW. My reply was that I was told that MotorMall was a VW dealership!? This was the first time I was fobbed off and had to find a person at VW to speak with who informed us that as the car was still under warranty, it was covered and that we were entitled to a courtesy car. That was two weeks ago! Since then, they have ordered the wrong parts, had to order the right tools and still not provided us with a courtesy car - but the worst part of all of this is their customer service!! We have had to constantly chase for updates, to the point where my boyfriend has just been up to see them! Still no courtesy car, still no decent apology for the inconvenience. I am absolutely furious and I will never, ever buy another car from them!!! I will also be taking my VW to the UK for servicing. The service has been absolutely shocking. I will be contacting someone at VW to let them know how bad this experience has been. --------------------------------------- Or this one ? Bekki Killey I had similar to, my car broke down after 6 weeks and when I took keys in so they can recover car the lad told me I wasn’t entitled to a courtesy car but Steve the only helpful one there said I can have a courtesy car, I also had to chase for updates to the point where I had to go in and see them, they are horrible and rude when you have a problem but lovely when taking money! I now have car back but it sound absolutely shit! I will never buy anything from them again and would strongly suggest people go elsewhere ----------------------------------- Or even this one ? Worst garage I've ever dealt with in the Isle of Man. A level of incompetence I've never seen before. Booked in 3 times to have work done on my car and twice it was forgotten about. Even managed to lose the car at one point. The other time (the second time) I was told the work was done and I could come and pick it up, only to find it hadn't been done, they had just ordered parts and would need booking in again. 3rd time I booked it in they forgot about it again. I woudn't recommend this garage to anyone! -------------------------------- It dosen`t sound great, given the amount they have just invested here does it ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
