  Purchased a 2017 Ford Focus 2.0tdci Titanium X on the 13th April 2020. Very well spec'd car. Vehicle had rust present on bootlid and rear arches despite the vehicle having had a bodywork inspection as outlined by the stamp in the service book. Informed Greig of this within 2 hours of getting the car home from initial collection. It has taken approx 3 months to get these corrected due to 2 poor previous repairs by the bodyshop they use which is Bodyshop Services in Margate. The final attempt is what the result should have been first time and should not have dragged on for as long as it did. I Was advised I could reject the car during this time, but I didn't want to because the car was what I wanted, it just needed to be prepped correctly. But apparently my standards are to high for a used car according to Allan the dealer principal during our initial face to face meeting, not a comment I was particularly happy. The wheels on the vehicle also painted have begun to flake and the front bumper also has paint that is peeling around the tow eye cover and on the tow eye cover itself. Allan the dealer principal has informed me that because the front bumper was not mentioned at the time I reported the initial faults they will not look to correct this work. In his actual words 'I cannot keep writing cheques for this vehicle, but we can offer a replacement tow eye cover as a good will gesture'. I'm sorry but paint work should last more than 3 months, regardless of whether it's on a used car or new car. On 9th August I emailed Allan advising although I'm not happy with the wheels, I will get this done professionally somewhere else. However still unhappy regarding the front bumper. I advised I was happy to take the tow eye cover and asked if I would have to collect from them or have it sent out. To this point I still have not received any correspondence from Allan. I would not recommend County Ford for what is in my opinion substandard paint work on used vehicles and the length of time it has taken to get these issues sorted. The standards they accept on this kind of work should be higher rather than just accepting that things have been painted and advertising the cars. The continued issues with paintwork is something that I will have to get addressed myself in future as the bodyshop used by County Garage are just to incompetent to complete the work correctly first time round. I will stick to purchasing all of my Ford's from Haynes Ford in Maidstone in the future. Very disappointing experience.

  Response from County Garage (Sales) Ltd 1 month ago

  Dear Jon, it was disappointing to read your review and 2-star rating. Perhaps not reflected in your comments but as you know we have engaged with you extensively to get the vehicle prepared to your satisfaction and as you acknowledged yourself during the repairs, not many dealerships would go to the length that we had. Along the way this ranged from offering to purchase the vehicle back to arranging a meeting with the repairing bodyshop. A number of factors extended the time to repair, including much written/meetings/photographs, arranging convenient appointments and a loan vehicle. While of course we always look to avoid repeat visits, your expectations are amongst the highest we have seen and sometimes we were addressing areas that didn’t detract from the appearance of the car but concerned you and we wanted to get this right. Following the last repair and your 30-minute inspection on collection you confirmed you were satisfied by email and a 12 month guarantee on all paintwork completed was issued. We have offered to re-finish any affected wheels, and as a gesture of goodwill to provide a replacement tow eye cover albeit this was not a part of the vehicle we repaired or had any issues when we last saw the vehicle. I appreciate I was on annual leave when you last emailed, I have left a couple of voicemails for you and an email, please come back to us when you can and we will continue to assist where possible. We are sorry this ultimately did not leave you feeling satisfied and this was our genuine intention, and while not everything was perfect we do not feel this is an accurate reflection of how we handled and the effort we made to rectify what was a complex case or the standards to how we prepare our vehicles and the suppliers we use. Best wishes Allan

  I recently purchased a used car from here and dealt mainly with Greig. I have to say the whole experience was fantastic. They are a very honest, trustworthy, professional and efficient dealer. The whole experience could not have been better. Greig in particular was extremely helpful. He always found out the answers to any queries and talked me through the whole process, returning phonecalls promptly. Clearly is very good at helping the customer. Not at all pushy, which is what I like. The rest of the staff I met were very professional. A well-run dealership, clearly. Onto the car - it was in incredible condition, they serviced it and put right a few minor things before collection and a lot of care had been put into it by their technicians to get it cleaned and prepared for collection. If I didn't live 200 miles away I would use County Garage for any future car purchases. Buying a used car can sometimes be a bit stressful but with County Garage you can have total confidence that you're in safe hands

  I had a fantastic experience with County Garage. Easily the best experience I've had buying a used car (and I've bought many in the past). Darren was just brilliant, and went out of his way to make the whole deal smooth and comfortable. He made what is usually a highly stressful experience, simply relaxed and care free. Having had the car almost a month now, I feel the honesty and transparency shines through. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, and I would buy from them again in the future without hesitation, despite living almost 200 miles away.

  1 star for poor, ignorant and arrogant attitude from County Garage...and that was being generous. Since the rating, I received a virtual interogation over the phone for nearly 17 minutes as to why my 1 star. Totally unprofessional conduct.

  Vonney Lee County Garage Ford
  Response from County Garage (Sales) Ltd 1 year ago

  Dear Yvonne & Georgina, it’s very disappointing to read your review. We were trying to do everything possible to locate you a car as you needed one quickly and as you found with other Ford dealers this model is in short supply. We were not able to offer you the vehicle already sold to another customer that you asked us about. We were still searching nationally with the help of Ford Motor Company when we called. As part of that call we asked if you were comfortable to discuss your review which you said you was. In is not in the nature of the salesperson to act in the manner you describe, he has received 94 post purchase reviews in the last 18 months being 98.3% completely satisfied and 100% willing to recommend us to others – he really was trying to help you. If there is anything further you would like to discuss, our customer service manager Allan will be happy to assist. While we don’t feel your view is fair reflection of the service we offered or our professionalism, we wish you the best for the future and hope you have found a suitable vehicle. Best wishes County Garage Ford

  There was confusion over what needed to be done (at my cost of course) and 4 hrs wait for a MOT and oil change was poor

  Barry Boughen County Garage Ford
  Response from County Garage (Sales) Ltd 1 year ago

  Dear Barry, thank you for taking my call and discussing your service experience. We are sorry your visit did not meet with your expectations and very much appreciate the feedback. As we discussed, the technician was working on your vehicle during your wait, it was just the nature of ensuring we did a thorough job on the MOT and service. We appreciate this was inconvenient when you do not live locally so we will make sure we offer you, as we normally would, a courtesy car when the booking is made. Reference the Ford maintenance items, these were completed by a different dealer and not on our records but as you found we were very willing to check this and update your history with when these items would be required in the future. There were no further costs to you than the work it was originally booked in for. We make sure that any items are highlighted by technicians, particularly things like cambelts and gearbox fluid changes as this can be very detrimental if left. Your experience has led us to look into whether we can upload history not completed by us into our systems, where available, as this would potentially benefit all in a more coherent process. We look forward to seeing you next year where we will look to exceed your expectations. Best wishes County Garage Ford
