The Motor Ombudsman

Our Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Process

We pride ourselves in offering the very best possible customer experience, and are equally committed to helping resolve any issues that may arise. Our appointed Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) body is The Motor Ombudsman, which provides motorists with free and impartial adjudication in the event of a dispute.

If you are unhappy with any part of the service that you have received from us or one of our franchise dealers, and have been unable to resolve the issue directly in the first instance, please get in touch with The Motor Ombudsman at www.TheMotorOmbudsman.org or call 0345 241 3008
