Bought an ‘approved used’ car from here in the spring and over time the paintwork on the quarter panel has got worse. Sanding marks can be seen in the paint where the lacquer has sunken into the sanding marks under the paint. No response from Group 1, even after they reply to review saying to email them. Car previously also had to have other paintwork done which was missed as part of their ‘approved’ check

I've had a repair with this Company. It is my belief that they damaged my car whilst it was in their care, however, I cannot prove this, and they do not believe this to be the case, having requested the CCTV apparently the camera isn't working/ on in this area. All I can advise is if you are using this service, please photograph your car when you drop it off!!

Title: Appalling Customer Service and Total Communication Breakdown – Group 1 Chester JLR I am compelled to share my complete dissatisfaction with the disgraceful level of service received from Group 1 Chester Jaguar Land Rover, in particular Rebecca Hewson and Jamie Menzies. Despite multiple emails, phone calls and text messages, I have received no response whatsoever. My vehicle has remained stationary for days due to an unresolved warranty issue, and not a single member of the dealership’s team has had the courtesy to acknowledge the situation or provide an update. This lack of communication is not only unprofessional, it is utterly unacceptable. It reflects a complete disregard for the customer and demonstrates a failure in even the most basic standards of service. Having escalated this matter to Jaguar Land Rover’s executive office, I was assured the dealership would contact me within 24 hours. That deadline has passed without any outreach, reinforcing the fact that the team at Group 1 Chester are either unwilling or incapable of resolving issues responsibly. The absence of any ownership or accountability has left me chasing multiple parties, including Car Care Plan, for what should be a straightforward matter. This experience has severely undermined my trust in both the dealership and the Jaguar Land Rover brand. If this is what customers can expect after purchasing a premium vehicle, I strongly advise others to reconsider where they spend their money.

Initially booked in for repairs but arrived and told parts were not in so, I had to wait for a call to book an appointment until they were received. When I picked up the courtesy car and pulled off the forecourt the low fuel warning light came on straight away, why do you not fill them and expect them back the same? Within a couple of days the tyre pressure warning light came on, one was extremely low the others weren’t too bad. Resolved this but same thing happened a fortnight later. As the weather had been decent i had needed to use the wipers or screen wash however that changed and lo and behold no screen wash fluid! I had numerous dates for completion, to be amended on the day due ( still waiting for parts apparently). The car was delivered back to me and all work was completed, good job, thank you. However, can I suggest that’s these cars are serviced and checked as fit for purpose before handing them to your customers?
