I bought a used car from Palmers. Mario the sales guy was very helpful leading up to the sale and continued to be helpful with post sales advice.

I recently exchanged my car in a palmers in Hemel Hempsted where Daniel was very good with his help, highly recommend. thanks Daniel

There has been a serious breach of Data Protection from one of the sales executives. Now they won’t pick up the phone or answer any email’s!

After both my father and auntie recommended Palmers, we visited to look for a family car (MG). My husband, our two children, and I asked to deal with Toby. Although he doesn’t usually handle this brand, he was incredibly accommodating.

I was quite apprehensive due to past negative experiences with car garages, but Toby completely changed that. He was honest, approachable, professional, and genuinely understanding. There was no pressure at all, and he really went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and supported throughout the process.

An excellent experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Palmers and especially Toby to anyone looking to buy a car.

Spent 3 days deliberating over cash purchase of a car.
Priced at 12,249.
Booked test drive and this went very well and loved the car.
Intended to purchase, but they had advertised the incorrect price in the car and then would not honor it.
The employee who took test drive with me was very helpful and highly professional, so this is no reflection on them.
They honestly should be the manager of this branch and perhaps customer experience might improve.

Has really put me off ever buying Fiat again and I will submit a complaint to head office about the management at this branch.
However, I feel it will just fall into the abyss and further waste my time.

Dominic was excellent from start to finish, really helpful without being pushy! Made our whole buying experience a pleasure and stress free. The big reveal is a lovely added surprise.

I have received a response from the general manager of Palmer. He confirmed that even though the vehicle was within the warranty period, the repair would not be covered. This contradicts the information provided at the time of purchase. As a goodwill gesture, the general manager offered a minor service.

In conclusion, if you require peace of mind and the assurance that your vehicle will be repaired within the warranty period, I would advise against purchasing from Palmer. The goodwill offered during the purchase process is not a guarantee of future service. The company’s primary interest is profit and it is unlikely to maintain a business relationship that would encourage repeat purchases. They may have taken £708 from me but have lost my business and thousands of pounds of future sales. Don’t make the mistake I did.

Very happy with my purchase
Dominic was very patient and professional and listened to my wish list!
I didn’t intend on buying a car on this day but Dominic made it a pleasure doing business with Fiat again!

Avoid this garage at all cost
I purchased a vehicle from Palmer Watford. The car was emitting excessive oil, so I returned to the garage within the warranty period to have this issue resolved. They informed me that there was no fault with the vehicle. I subsequently had an independent inspection conducted which revealed oil in the coolant. I returned to the garage and they discovered a chemical reaction had occurred which they have yet to explain. After keeping the car for four weeks, I returned yesterday to collect it. I paid the £708 bill despite the vehicle being under warranty when I raised the issue. Upon entering the car, I discovered the ventilation system was non-functional. Upon returning inside to inform them of this, they stated they were unaware of the problem and would incur an additional £220 to investigate.
The car’s heating and ventilation system was functioning correctly as I always drive with the system running on 2 or 3 when the weather is cold. Palmer’s Watford is a dishonest garage and I urge others to avoid them.
After reading the other comments, I fully agree particularly with the point about their lack of telephone response. I was in the showroom last week enquiring about my repair as they would not answer the phone. I found two people at the front desk both in front of computers with the phone ringing in the background and no attempt to answer it.
I used to deal with a particular sales assistant, whose name I will not disclose to avoid embarrassment. I purchased several cars from him but was disgusted with the way he treated me when I called him to discuss my vehicle. He shouted down the phone and then slammed the phone handset down. While they are all polite and willing to assist during the car purchase process, they are not interested in resolving issues or providing after-sales service once the sale is complete.

The sales assistant made an inappropriate comment to me stating, ‘I did not put my hand in your pocket to take your money out’. I have written to the head office to investigate this matter but have yet to receive a response. The calls are recorded so the conversation should be easily located.
If you wish to avoid a similar experience in the future I would advise you to consider other options. You risk becoming a sales statistic rather than a valued customer. I learned this lesson the hard way and would encourage you to avoid making the same mistake.

Can never get through - can only leave a message and calls are not returned. Managed to get through and they have lost the job card - meanwhile I have been waiting 4 weeks for them to get a part in - was told it was being escalated and I'd get a call back later - that was yesterday morning - still no call and can't get through

I would really avoid bringing your car to this garage as much as possible. Took my car in for a full service, in which coolant change should’ve been included but wasn’t. They then gave me new tyres (which took 2 days to do) and wanted to charge a further £210 PER HOUR for further diagnostics… it’s surprising that they didn’t have tyres for my Peugeot at a Peugeot garage. It then took 11 times phoning the garage to get through after I kept getting hung up on. Save yourself some money - buy your own OBD scanner and do your own diagnostics to then take your vehicle to an independent garage for the repairs. Your wallet and sanity will thank me.

We had a first rate experience when we recently purchased our Peugeot from Palmers in Croxley. Olatunde made us feel very welcome and allowed us to make our choice without a hint of pressure. We were given good guidance on every aspect from how to drive an automatic to how the touch screen controls worked, and everything in between. We purchased our previous car from Palmers and it turned out to be quality. We would have no hesitation in recommending and wouldn't hesitate to do business here in the future.

What a shower of S***.
Contacted dealer to book car in for service - Kept getting to no 1 in queue to then be told they were busy and to leave a message after the beep. Left several messages over a period of 3days but not called back. Even tried to request a call / booking on website. Called and selected option 1 and eventually spoke to a salesman - as least someone actually answered the phone - he was quick to transfer me at Palmers Watford Service but the telephone rang & rang for 8minutes!!!! until I gave up

Appalling service to date. Had a serious engine failure within first year of purchase. Took over a month to get an appointment. Was told repair would take "a Couple of days". 3 weeks later, still no car, no update, despite multiple calls almost daily now. Constantly fobbed off with excuses. Probably one of the worst customer service experiences ever. Will never purchase peugeot again.
Shame, as sales agent great, but service dept diabolical. Have now had to resort to emailing the ceo

I recently traded in my old Peugot Diesel 308 Estate for a 3 year old Petrol 208. Throughout the process the salesman who dealt with me was never 'pushy', but well - informed, patient and helpful.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Palmers MG was so frustrating that I feel compelled to warn others.

From the moment I walked in, the service was subpar. Despite staff being free, I was asked to wait without so much as a greeting or offer of help. After a 3-hour negotiation, I paid a deposit — and that’s when the real issues began.

I gave them more than enough notice to prepare the car, but they kept pushing the collection date. When I finally arrived, the car had stained seats that were quickly wiped down in front of me. Then, during a long family trip up north, I got a call saying they’d given me the wrong keys and not to turn off the engine. I ran out of fuel, stopped at a station, and the car wouldn’t restart. We were stranded for two hours until someone arrived with the correct keys.

To top it off, I was promised a £500 refund on the day but despite multiple reassurances, it took days of chasing and repeated excuses to finally get it sorted.

I’ve since spoken to my previous dealer at Stoneacre — they hadn’t even heard of Palmers. Safe to say, I’ll be returning to them next time. Palmers MG seriously needs to rethink its approach to customer service.

The personal service of my salesman Matthew was absolutely fantastic and totally professional every step of the way. My husband and I had dealt with only Peaugeot for the past 12 years and Matt made the transition a very easy one. He helped me choose the right car and I am totally in love with my new Citroen C3

I have nothing but praise for Ola,he was a credit to the firm, always polite and friendly and helpful from start to finish but never pushy and I knew I was dealing with a professional.I was offered a hot drink when I first arrived which was very welcoming The after service was just as good as the initial service and I would definitely recommend them and would use them again myself maybe in the future

Jeeps Hemel Hempstead, Call twice today to get a price for timing belt for my car plus a few times tried to get through to parts by phone and email a waste of time never return calls or emails but for a new car enquiry call you everyday. Please have the good manners to call your customers back.

I recently took my car into the Watford workshop for a little tinkering because my 'go to' mechanic was unavailable to help at that particular time. Everything appears fine, but how do I really know? The only person I can talk to is the fella sitting behind the reception desk, so I’m not hearing it from the horse's mouth. And that’s my grievance. I need to talk to the person who had their hands on my car. The person who was holding the spanner/screwdriver. I have a knowledge of cars & engines, albeit 40 years out of date, but I want to hear it from the mechanic (I might just understand what you’re talking about), not the man or woman in clean smart clothes, sitting in a sterile environment & holding a pen. (The given date may not be the exact date - no paperwork to hand??)
Rant over.
