Brownhills

[Guest]

I telephoned Brownhills this morning and I asked to speak to a sales person as I was seriously interested in a M/H that they had for sale. I was told that they were all in a meeting so I left my tel no and asked if they would call me back.
Can you believe all the sales people in a meeting on a prime selling day???
They did not return my call within 1 hr so I called again and got the same reply.
I called again (3rd tel call) about one & a half hours later after my original call and this time I managed to get through.
How can they expect to sell vans when they do not speak to interested customers.
I went elswhere and I will not go to Brownhills to view.
They have lost a prospective customer and this is the second time I have had such bad service from Brownhills and it will be the last.

I have found Brownhills (North East) at Birtley Co. Durham to be excellent in all ways. Staff are excellent and treat you like a friend when they get to know you. I have not purchased a van there but have had it serviced and storage facilities are Gold standard. I have had no problems with them returning phone calls often within a few minutes.

Brownhills at Newark is fantastic for viewing different layouts etc... but they're now FAR to big and impersonal, and you'll find the same make & model cheaper at other dealers.
From my searching days almost a year ago I would recommend Oak Tree nr Mansfield, RDH who we bought from, just round the corner - small but VERY helpful and friendly; and Heart of England nr where we live... but just didn't have what we were looking for!

We have been to our local Brownhills, which I believe is their latest site opened. Not impressed,most of the sales people just don't seem to be interested. So going for a 'part ex' somewhere else.

When i was veiwing i always found the smaller companys to be more freindly and helpful.The last van i brought from heart of england ,which were very good,recommended to others no problems.Also found even though they are small still can get a bit of price ,or couple of extras thrown in.

we also went to brownhills at newark with a list from the net only to be told "not in stock, already sold or i dont know where you got this list but we have none of these".
needless to say we went elsewhere.

Cant really believe it, but I went to Brownhills & did a deal, bought a Hymer Tramp T Class and at a very good price. Just hope that they keep to the agreement about little snagging jobs.

Got it

Well folks, we picked it up yesterday and most of the small snagging jobs have been done. Just waiting for a cupboard door & handbook from Hymer.
Reasonably happy and it looks like we had a good deal.
The only thing we were not happy about was that Brownhills had only gone through the motions of a clean/valet and had not cleaned the roof at all!
Not really a problem as we will and would have anyway completley cleaned the interior to our own high standards.
Now we have to learn about all the new gadjets
The guy that did the handover (Alan) was very good and a credit to Brownhills. Just a pity that they did not bother to clean it properly.

Hymer water pumps

Hi *****,
just a bit of friendly advice, if you can, order a spare pump from Hymer uk and keep it in the motorhome. My Hymer is fitted with a tandem pump and are only obtainable from them. At the moment they are on special offer and are very cheap, I think yours will be the same as mine, I always carry a spare pump as you never know when they are are going to let you down. We will have to arrange a meet sometime.
