    Citroen Award For Howards’ Unbeatable Customer Service!

At Howards we always profess to provide unparalleled customer service that always goes that extra mile. So when Steve Herbert, the Service Manager at Howards Citroen Taunton, recently received an award from Citroen UK for excellent customer service, as a Group we were naturally delighted!

Back in mid-September David Poole, a loyal Citroen customer, was travelling back to London from Branscombe Devon when the temperature warning light began to flash on his 3 year old Citroen C4, purchased only 3 months earlier. After pulling over and searching for his nearest garage David located Howards Citroen in Taunton. Although dealing with a busy schedule, our Service Manager Steve noticed that David had a young family and fit them in, resulting in one of “the most amazing retail experiences” the customer had ever encountered and subsequently posted a fantastic review on the Citroen UK Facebook page. Genuine, warm and helpful were just some of the great terms used to describe the team at Taunton. 

Steve said “After having a quick look at David’s C4 we realised we couldn’t let him leave our garage with the risk of him breaking down and becoming stranded, especially with a young Baby. Receiving the award is fantastic for both our Citroen retailer and the Group on a whole”.

Citroen pride themselves on retailing both a brand and experience that delivers quality and care, something which we are proud to continue at Howards. From offering tea and coffee to transparent quotes and repair explanations, we like to think a Howards customer experience keeps you in the know every step of the way and back on the road.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
