AI Review Summary Based on 47 reviews

Customer experiences at Williamsliverpoolbmw are sharply divided, with many praising excellent sales interactions and others reporting severe after-sales and service failures. Positive reviews frequently highlight a non-pushy, helpful, and professional sales team that provides good communication and a stress-free purchasing process. Several customers commend specific staff members for going above and beyond, offering personalised service and thoughtful touches like gifts on collection. The sales process is often described as efficient, with staff showing great product knowledge and accommodating customer needs. However, a significant number of negative reviews cite profoundly poor after-sales service, including unresolved mechanical issues, incorrect diagnoses, and cars returned in worse condition. Major complaints involve misleading advertising, such as cars inaccurately described or poorly prepared, and a complete lack of post-purchase communication from the dealership. The service department is heavily criticised for exorbitant pricing, very long repair queues, and a failure to address reported problems, sometimes even damaging vehicles during routine work. The returns and deposit process is also problematic, with reports of deposits not being refunded promptly and cars being advertised but not actually available for sale. Overall, while the initial sales experience can be outstanding, the dealership's reputation is severely damaged by consistent failures in service, honesty, and accountability after the sale is complete.

AVOID WILLIAMS LIVERPOOL

Put a deposit of 500 down to move a car from Williams Manchester to their Liverpool dealership for a test drive on 30th September Unfortunately I couldn t go ahead with the car as I had an accident and fractured my arm so couldn t drive for 10 weeks Advised David Sutcliffe Manager who said he needed all my bank details to refund the deposit I have been waiting nearly 4 weeks now Numerous calls emails and texts With promises that it s in the hands of the accounts department I m still waiting and getting so concerned that I won t see my money refunded

Falsely advertised 335d

Viewed and test drove a 335d and with only 31 000 miles on it I totally believed it was a 1 owner car like stated in the advert and having it confirmed in person The next night I paid for tha car in full as it was going to be ready for collection the next day which is not something I would usually do but I put my trust in the fact I was buying from a BMW main dealer After I paid I had a sudden bad gut feeling and HPI checked the car myself to find out it was a 4 owner car They tried to send proof of 1 owner with a screen shot of they re own HPI check which was clearly not up to date because it was the original reg of the car on the check not the current private plate I was then told that they sold the car to a couple back in December 2022 and bought it back off them recently completely contradicting they re claim of it being a 1 owner car Needless to say I demanded my money back and got it fairly quickly All is not as it seems with this dealership BUYERS BEWARE

Disgusting company Avoid

Since buying an x6 from them the after sales is disgusting Endless issues with the car Brakes squealing after month of owning it turns out worn brakes and discs car shudders badly on braking was lied to saying it was fixed but wasnt and only after a year they investigated it properly and it turns out its a broken axle Initial repairs promised at sale took 3 months to get done later at mot bolts were found missing from the exhaust Amazing standard for a bmw approved car Maybe your technicians need glasses to have missed all these faults More faults arose Failty boot struts and damaged axle which was why car shudderred from day one Now waiting for 5 months for parts for this lovely car Manager Chris Benson is an arrogant manager and refuses to resolve complaints and simply patronises Be warned Once they have your money they don t give a damn about you Update 6 months later I am told the car is repaired but they won t confirm the shuddering on braking has been sorted Meaning it s still there but they don t care and want to give it back to me I will reject the repair if still present Shame on you Williams bmw Blood sucking parasites and with regards to contact us response don t waste my time I ve been in contact for months and still get treated like crap Disgusting company

Drove over 120 miles to buy an Approved

Drove over 120 miles to buy an Approved Used BMW X5 and it was the worst prepared car I have seen from an approved BMW dealer Although they have had the car in stock since May 2023 they hadn t even bothered to repair a large scuff from the back bumper or minor marks in the paint work Awaiting deposit back

Repairs take months

Our mini has a fault due to the EGR recall and it s going to take them months to repair There are no courtesy cars available so due to the length of the repair queue currently we re unlikely to have a car for nearly 2 5 months Williams think this is acceptable We would never buy another mini and certainly wouldn t recommend this dealer

Terrible service No wonder why they have low rate here

Had my service 8 weeks ago They identified that one of the tyres need replacement I asked to do it on the same day but they mentioned they had no stock and that they ll order it I agreed Booked another appointment and they confirmed they ll do it Went for the second appointment sat there for AN HOUR only for a gentleman to come and tell me that they don t have my tyre I m a doctor so honestly going there uselessly to spend my time in Williams for my service not to be done is very disappointing Only thing they offered is to order my tyre and book another appointment THIRD one Could have done it anywhere else but they wasted my time Not the first bad experience with them but I ve always been trying to find excuses but I m honestly fed up My next car will 100 be another make other than BMW and Mini so that I don t have to deal with them again

There is a reason they are so poorly rated

Found a car on autotrader as Williams BMW approved used reserved it with 100 deposit Was then asked for 500 deposit Expecting the car to be in on 24th June chased twice that day to be told the car wasn t theirs to sell and they would offer the deposit back in 3-5 working days The car was placed as an Autotrader ad we were told it was coming in as part-ex and would be in on delivery day of new car Really really poor communication selling tactics and experience with Williams Liverpool and not my first bad experience with them
