Financial part of sale was smooth in 2021/22. They messed up the V5C by registering the wrong car to my name at the time but fixed it quickly. Now its 2026, after being told to remove me from marketing calls MULTIPLE TIMES they STILL call me....it used to be approx every 12 to 15 weeks, now slightly less but they still haven't followed my instructions. They've used a few different numbers that I keep blocking and just wont stop. If you want to be harassed forever, by all means buy from here. Doesn't matter if you consent to marketing or not, they dont care. Edit: I see you've asked me to call and email you below. That would seem great if it weren't performative nonsense. Ive spoken to you over 10 times about this and you still didnt respect my data privacy and marketing consent. So please dont act like you'll fix it this time.

Really disappointed with Lookers Kia Stockport, particularly given this isn’t the first time I’ve had issues with their service department. I recently brought my Kia Proceed in for a service, which cost around £350, and mentioned that the rear passenger door had intermittently stopped opening. I was told they’d checked it, everything was fine and it was probably a one-off. Today, the exact same thing happened again, except this time I had my newborn daughter in the car. The door wouldn’t open from either the inside or outside for around five minutes. I called Lookers to explain what had happened and was told that because the original adviser hadn’t recorded the issue, I’d need to book another diagnostic appointment and go to the back of the queue. The person I spoke to was also pretty rude and dismissive. I’ve had a similar experience here previously with a faulty bonnet latch sensor that was causing my alarm to go off up to five times a night. It took multiple visits, extended periods without my car and a lot of frustration before they finally replaced the sensor I’d been pointing to all along. Unsurprisingly, that fixed the issue. Now I’m facing the same situation again, except this time it’s a genuine safety concern. I have a newborn daughter with hospital appointments to attend, and I’m not comfortable putting her in a car where a door can become completely stuck. I don’t expect special treatment, but I do expect a potentially serious safety issue to be taken seriously, especially when I’ve already reported it. Really disappointing service, and I hope someone senior at Lookers takes ownership of this and gets it resolved.

Google • Lookers Å koda Stockport
Had a great relationship with this garage for over a decade, buying my last 3 cars from them. They've always been good to me and so I've always gone back to them and had every service and MOT under them. However, really disappointed that they have dropped the ball of late. A technical error on the car's dashboard (which they agreed was not my fault) was initially left as 'there's nothing we can do' until I complained. As I was driving away from the garage the manager phoned me directly (I hadn't spoken to him at all before that) and he apologised and offered to put things right. He said he'd call back later that day. That was 3 weeks ago and I still haven't heard from them despite me chasing. Honestly, I've given this garage so much business (and so much money) over the years and all that's keeping me from giving them 1 star is the previously excellent relationship I've had with them. So disappointed (it would have been an easy 5 stars until this).

Just rang in to cancel a test drive which I have had to cancel for next week. I didn’t want to let dealership down/ waste time so tried several times to get through. Person who answered was very abrupt and no response/ thanks for me for calling in. All it takes is a quick use of the word thank you for letting them know. I’m not expecting massive thanks or anything, but do expect some very basic manners. Wow - has put me right off!

I had a wonderful experience with Gema at Mercedes-Benz in Stourbridge. She is absolutely amazing, very professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Her customer service is outstanding, and she goes above and beyond to make sure everything is handled smoothly. She is patient, approachable, and always willing to help with a smile. Gema is a real credit to the Mercedes-Benz team, and her dedication to her customers deserves to be recognised. Thank you, Gema, for providing such excellent service. Highly recommended! 👏🌟

I recently bought a new car and Jon was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. He kept me up to date continually and was very knowledgeable about all things related to the car. Buying a car with Jon’s guidance was very straightforward and I would recommend this dealership.

Truly exceptional service with part exchanging my car and finding the car I really wanted. James and Will are professional, friendly and supportive and it was a quick and smooth process, even though the car was at a different dealership, and I received it in pristine condition. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
