Evan Halshaw Vauxhall, 2 Cultins Road, Edinburgh: Not also steelers but a bunch of cowboys calling themselves professional car mechanics. Well I'll explain my history and also I want to express my total sympathy with emilne82. I bought a Vauxhall corsa from an Evan Halshaw dealer at the end of January 2008. Truth is to say that the selling process was pretty much smooth; I did not have any hidden costs and they did explain clearly the extra costs/products ...
...To start with, the car was advertised with the full manufacturing service history but after collecting the car and arriving home I realised that they did not have the service book for the car. I rang the dealer to get the service book but it took about two months to finally get a replay from them; and the replay was, as you might have guessed it, that the service book was lost and they need to give me a new one. When I went to collect the service ... Read review

That's what we did, only to find out that Evans Halshaws are more of a steeler than a dealer! Previously we owned a Renault Meagne, it was a good car but a bit on the small side, especially ...
...that was for sale at Evans Halsahw, a good price for the age of the car and a high spec. Myself and wife both agreed this was going to be our next car. Sitting down with the sales rep to complete the paperwork, revealed that the total price of the car was actually £1500 more than displayed. Querying this we found it was down to a £500 cleaning packing, £120 RAC breakdown cover, and almost £900 for a warranty, along with a list of numerous other things. ... Read review

...had a terrible experience with Evans Halshaw at Darlington. I had a phone call out of the blue from one of the salesmen who informed me they had some wonderful deals and would I be interested in coming in to discuss this? I initially said no, as I am very happy with the car I have now. However I did eventually agree to go to the garage. To cut a long story short, I agreed to view a vauxhall astra that was located at a different branch. I was told ...
...people not to go to Evans Halshaw. When the car arrived, it had double the mileage that the salesman had told me it actually had. I said I didn't want the car because of this. I was assured I would get my deposit back and left the salesroom. A few days later I got a further call from the salesman saying he had located another astra for me and had arranged for it to be brought up from another branch. I agreed to view it and after test driving it ... Read review

...recently bought a car from Evans Halshaw. A ford fiesta finesse. When I first got to the dealership I was worried that I wouldn\'t really be able to afford the car but I was reassured by the Salesman that it would be affordable on Finance. The salesman was very informative about the car and mentioned all the details required e.g. service history, MOT, mileage and how many owners etc. We checked the car under the bonnet and the tyres etc. We then ...

Evans Halshaw , Altrincham - servicing Terrible service, unprofessional, do not know who is dealing with your car and what has been agreed with you, the customer. They couldn't provide a courtesy car, so I arranged to take my car in two weeks later and leave it with them for two and half weeks while I was on holiday. Initially I was told the body work and replacement fog light would take 1 week. I was promised that the car would be finished for ...
...holiday various messages where left on my home phone asking about different parts of the work, does it need to be done, when this was all agreed before I went away on holiday and booked the car in. Then when I get back off holiday and rang them about coming to pick the car up, I am told it is not ready. Various execuses are used, parts being late in, other cars in the queue before my car. This is even though they have left a message on my home phone ... Read review
