Service was quick, and the engineer that went out for a quick test drive was great.
However, I asked for the car to be cleaned but it came back as dirty as ever - the healthcare video was also a waste of time - only 30 seconds and it seemed that the technician had not time to even bother walking around the car.
Has been better in the past so hope this is a one-off.

There could have been better communication. Particularly as the drop off is via a machine so you don’t speak to anyone when you drop off your key. I was told the work could take 1-2 days so was expecting an update on the first day but didn’t get one and couldn’t get through on the phone. This makes planning alternative transport more difficult. My car was booked in for a specific problem and then found to have been recalled. When I picked it up there was no knowledge that I had been experiencing an issue and I was just told it would ‘probably’ have been sorted with the changes made due to the recall. I think better communication at drop off and while it was there would have improved this.

Wow. Such an amazing experience to buy a car from Alawi. Very easy process and the service was impeccable. Kept good contact from the start to the end. Alawi guided me through everything. Will DEFINITELY come back for my son’s first car. Thank you Alawi and Volkswagen Manchester team.

Ordered a part. They were not able to deliver so had to collect after 2 days. Process for payment is via online message which takes you to separate portal for GDPR reasons

I wish I could give 0 stars. The service desk team was very unprofessional. I booked my MOT twice and both times it was cancelled at the last minute. For the third booking, I clearly requested a courtesy car and they agreed. I also called the branch a few more times to confirm because I had an important meeting to attend. Each time I was told the courtesy car was booked and notes were added. However, when I arrived for the MOT, they refused to provide the courtesy car, saying it was never booked. Instead of apologising, the staff member at reception told me to speak to whoever made the booking and said it was not their fault. The way it was handled made it feel like I was being blamed. I tried to explain the situation but she did not listen and kept repeating that I had not booked it with her, so she could not help. Very disappointing experience and poor customer service.

What a great ‘car buying’ experience from start to finish. The sales person, Laura, who supported us all the way through was incredibly professional and helpful and knowledgeable about the cars. She made the whole process easy with clear communication. I would not hesitate to recommend this garage and especially Laura. Excellent job! Very happy with the car.
