Toomey Motor Group - Toomey MG Basildon Avis 

Excellent service as always from Ellie.
Mr J Jacyna

Had my car serviced and MOT today. Mia was very helpful and efficient as usual, called to remind me of my appointment too. Pleased with the service I received.

Had an Appointment to fix a small problem with my sensors

Booked a courtesy car too , was greeted at reception by a charming young lady called Mia , who was very helpful and knowledgeable about my planned works etc

Collected my car later that afternoon and was greeted again ,by the lovely Mia .

Thank you again

when entering the show room told the sales staff we came to pick up a new car no one seemed to be bothered so just sat and waited for someone to help had to ask again for help a reluctant member of staff then came over and seemed like it was a bit to much trouble for him then told us car was not ready had to wait nearly 2 hours and then they could not supply the car mats we spoke about when buying the car out. The brief on the car was poor. I told him was not happy and was thinking about not going through with the deal which was meet with you can’t do that in all this is the worst car dealership i have ever been to

I had my MG HS serviced and a small repair done under warranty this week and I can only say this company does customer care to another level. I got a video showing what was done and a full report of my car. The service here is fantastic and a special shout goes out to Mia who is polite, professional and kept me fully informed of all progress. Other car dealers take note please!

I had an issue with my radio and hopefully after today the fault has been fixed and it was A+ service. Mia on the customer reception desk was a credit to the company.

Excellent service, friendly staff highly recommended

Always polite when coming here for car service. Is a wait. But worth it when u get free coffee!

Easy and efficient service. Mia was friendly and helpful.

It was a very professional service. Mia was very helpful and managed to fit my service on the day. She gave great customer service and was very knowledgeable about the work that was done. It was also very prompt, and the whole booking in process very smooth.

I have been dealing with this MG garage for the past 6 years. Today was the first time I have written a review. I was greeted warmly & professionally by Mia. I could see that Mia and her colleague have the front desk run like a well oiled machine. Mia is an asset to this garage. Very good communicator (in the past although friendly, communication skills have always been lacking with other staff members which can lead to frustration) I had excellent service. Very pleased. Thank you Mia & team.

Ellie was fantastic and helpful from beginning till end of visit

I never imagined I would still be dealing with this months later.

I bought my MG ZS EV Trophy in January 2025 for £23,050. Since then, I have experienced repeated failures of the vehicle’s rapid charging system, leaving me stranded hundreds of miles from home on multiple occasions.

The timeline so far:

• Barnsley – the car would not rapid charge despite multiple attempts across several chargers.

• Peterborough Services – the car failed to charge again and had to be recovered.

• Paignton – stranded at 8pm in pouring rain with my two young children after the same charging fault occurred. The AA attended and cleared fault codes to get us moving again.

• Further breakdowns followed, leading me to formally reject the vehicle and begin preparing legal action.

Following intervention from management, I agreed to pause court action when I was promised a courtesy car and told they would get to the bottom of the problem.

My vehicle then spent more than 3 weeks with the dealership, where a new module was fitted. I was hopeful that the issue had finally been resolved.

For the last 2 weeks, the car appeared to be working normally.

Today, the fault returned.

The vehicle is once again refusing to charge and displaying multiple error messages. Following previous advice, I tried multiple chargers, but the result was the same. The battery is now showing 0 miles remaining.

When I contacted the dealership this morning, I was asked if I could bring the vehicle in on Wednesday.

The problem is simple: the vehicle has 0 miles remaining and will not charge.

How exactly am I supposed to bring it in?

At this point, my frustration is not just with the fault itself. Modern vehicles can develop faults. What matters is how customers are supported when those faults occur. In my opinion, I have not been supported one bit by MG Basildon. Wesley Thorne is the only person who has tried his utmost hardest to help me but even he experienced set backs due to incompetent people at MG Basildon.

I have spent months dealing with breakdowns, recoveries, diagnostics, repairs, promises of resolution and continued uncertainty about whether my vehicle will actually get me where I need to go.

Their own sales and service manager sat me down when I refused my vehicle and the sales manager, Tony, said I really don’t know how to fix your problem, if I give you a replacement you will experience the same fault! He was blaming the public chargers, so don’t buy an MG electric if you plan to use a public charger at any point! As per their sales manager said, it won’t charge! It will be unreliable!

I am sharing this because consumers deserve to know what ownership can look like when things go wrong, and because no family should be repeatedly left stranded due to an unresolved fault.
