Title: 25% Off a £1,665.00 Bill – Apparently That’s “Caring”
We bought a low mileage (14’000) used car from Eden Motor Group through Spoticar/Vauxhall, expecting quality and peace of mind. Two years and barely 2,000 miles later (a couple of weeks ago), a major fault appears from nowhere - not wear and tear, a leaking petrol tank, a safety critical core component failing and dumping petrol all over a forecourt.
Vauxhall and Eden’s response? A repair quote for £1,665.00 then an insulting 25% discount; (in their words) – “a substantial goodwill contribution towards the cost of replacing the fuel tank which is well above what we are obliged to provide” - to prove they “care.”
If this is what “approved used” customer care looks like at Eden Motor Group/Vauxhall, my experience tells me it’s nothing more than marketing gloss. No ownership of the problem, no real accountability, just a token gesture that still leaves you with a huge bill for something that should never have failed in the first place.
