Cyril and the lads got us out of a serious predicament and went over and above to look after us. Exceptional service and happy to give the highest recommendation to Des Hughes Motors.

Collection of my new fiat on 20th December, 3 days after first contact. The price was good, service was outstanding. Colin was our sales person.

Solved a difficult technical issue gor me....Professional, Recommended.

Rang to speak to someone on a car they had in stock after a few hours I had no call back so decided to drive in 30minute drive here and speak to someone in finance.  Absolutely nobody around to help or came to me , I went to look into one or the two cabins and nobody in one and people already in another , I waited some time and still no luck

I booked a timing belt replacement, along with the water pump and tensioner, at Des Hughes Motors.

I chose them after careful consideration, as I am very meticulous when it comes to car maintenance and selecting a workshop.

They appeared on Fiat’s official website, which gave me confidence, and their quote for parts and labor was reasonable.

However, my experience leading up to the appointment was less than ideal.

After booking, I called several times to clarify some details, but the responses were slow and unhelpful.

They often promised to call back but didn’t, leaving me to follow up multiple times. On several occasions, the responsible staff were either busy, out of the office, or on lunch breaks, which raised concerns about their professionalism.

Upon arrival, I checked my car’s fuel consumption, which was 7.4 L/100 km. I reiterated the importance of handling my car carefully, as it is very dear to me.

They assured me that the job would take five hours. However, the work took six hours, and I noticed afterward that someone had left greasy handprints on the driver’s side roof pillar. Now, I need to pay for a professional cleaning to remove the stains.

When I checked the car’s fuel consumption after the service, I was shocked to see it had jumped to 8.8 L/100 km. This significant increase suggests the car must have idled for an extended period, yet no one mentioned this to me.

In summary, while the job was completed and at least the car is running, I would recommend looking for another workshop if you value high-quality service. Their lack of attention to detail, poor communication, and failure to deliver a professional experience leave much to be desired.

Forget about thoughtful touches like using copper grease on bolts to prevent rust – that level of care doesn’t seem to be part of their service.

They also advertise a Vehicle Health Check as part of their service. This includes checking lights, wipers, engine parts, brakes, and suspension for wear and tear.

However, I was never offered a VHC or given any feedback about it. If it was done, they didn’t let me know, which was disappointing.
