Research Garage Group Arvostelua 

Sanjay was very nice to deal with made the process easy and kept me updated with progress of the sale/collection. This is the 2nd car I have bought this dealership and have been very happy on both occasions.

I had a service and utility belt replacement done by Karl on my smart car forfour .

Karl did a great job really pleased, good value for money and really friendly staff too.

Karl also advised me about my front tyres was wearing on the edge of them.

I've now had them replaced and the tracking done also. Excellent service.
Thank you.

Fantastic experience in buying my first Alfa Romeo from this dealership. Sanjay was extremely helpful from start to finish and couldn’t find a fault.

Very helpful and attentive. Really looked after me and made me very welcome.
Edit: I did not realise I had to pay a years car tax and was not offered to pay 6 months. I also never received my follow up call the day after. There is no in depth manual for the car only a basic one. The car drives well though and can get fast pretty quickly

Service excellent from drop off to collection.
Thanks for the lovely clean car

The staff were helpful particularly Blake. Bought a Fiat 600. There was no pressure to buy. He explained everything and the features of the car. Set up my mobile phone and made sure I was confident in driving it before I left as never driven an automatic before. Received a courtesy call the day after I picked it up to make sure all okay.

Ryan has been amazing from start to finish. Thank you so much for helping us find the right car for us. Excellent service!

I have had a helpful and informative experience with Blake at Fiat Research Nuneaton.
There was no pressure to buy only advice and any question answered.
Picked my shiney red Fiat 500 on 10.5.2025.
All paperwork and hand over done within 30 mins.
A very helpful and pleasant experience.
Thank you
Michelle

Really helpful staff and a pleasure to deal with the team at Nuneaton Fiat . Purchased a fabulous Fiat 500c and it looked amazing when we arrived to pick it up. Lovely and clean and waiting for me to drive it away.

Amazing customer service from start to finish

I had a great experience choosing my new car at Fiat Research with Ryan Sandhu,he made me feel at ease and was very helpful in helping me chose the right car for me, I wasn't rushed into making a decision and showed me cars available and explained everything before hand ,I'm very pleased with my new car,thank you Ryan for all your help ,I had a wonderful experience.

Wanna say thank you to Rob for booking me in twice lately for my car, super helpful and quick! Josh has done brilliant work and I really appreciate them both! Thank you!

Great service as usual from Research Garage, have been going to them for many years, just bought a 500c from Blake, thanks Blake for all your help.

Really great service from Blake, he sorted everything very efficiently, really friendly service and knew his stuff! Car was ready to collect in a few days. Garage has a great range of cars to choose from and lovely showroom

The service from Blake was fantastic, he was very knowledgable when bombarded with questions :) The car is in great condition & fully met our expectations, it was also ready for us at the pre arranged time & the transaction was very smooth & easy. Overall a great buying experience, pity a few more dealers didn't perform this well!

I travelled from Leicester to purchase a used car I had seen online. The Research price was very reasonable compared to a similar vehicle at a different dealership. Matthew Blake was very helpful with his explanations of what was required. The showroom was clean and smart. Pleased with the vehicle.

Blake and Dhillon went out of there way to help,including coming in on a Sunday so that i could test drive a vehicle, I teat drove another vehicle elsewhere but I did choose a Fiat 500 due to quality and care shown to me at Research Nuneaton as always but no flowers this time :)

I’m very happy with my purchase, Blake was very helpful and informative and between a couple of the sales guys advice I managed to make my mind up as to which car I wanted. ( I was a little like a kid in a sweet shop🤣)

I would highly recommend.

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish ! Kept up to date with everything, made me feel comfortable and went through everything with me , any questions they were there to help via calls/emails . I have panic disorder and anxiety but they made me feel so welcome . Definitely recommend to anyone. Lovely people that care about their customers. Special thanks to Andy for sharing tips and being patient with me . Thankyou so much for everything.

Admittedly, I had a good experience when.purchasing the car, but that bit is always going to go well.

We test drove a 2021 Gulia that I fell in love with, however on test driving it had a very obvious gearbox fault where it thudded aggressively when downshifting in manual mode. Aside from this, no problems at all.
Obviously the sale was conditional to the fault being rectified, to which they agreed. Upon collection the fault was gone.

However, a week-ish later, the fault reappeared!
The dealer was an hour away and I felt like this was going to be one of those faults that would never go away and felt it was best to reject the car while we were able to exercise our short-term right to reject (which is 30 days), which is legally only allowed if there is a fault or the car is not fit for purpose.
We returned the car as advised by the finance company, however Research are refusing to accept that a fault exists, or ever existed. The sales person has lied to us also by saying that he believed that it was my driving that was the problem, which I was surprised at, as he was very nice when selling us the car and we spoke about the error at length, even confirming that he experienced it on test drive. He never once intimated that he thought it was my driving. However, now it seems to be a convenient excuse.

So, as it stands, they a refusing to refund us for the car. I understand that this is 'one of those things' where the fault is intermittent and it has to be present when trying to diagnose and rectify. But I'm not prepared to keep the car and go through that process for an unknown length of time, hence that I want to exercise my right to a short-term rejection.
But as it stands, they want me to live with the problem. I might even be willing to buy a different car from them, but I absolutely do not want to own a car with gremlins that are potentially never ever going to get rectified.

I will update this review depending on the outcome. If they do the right thing, I'll happily give them 5 stars.

From my initial phone call to Amanda in the Service Department at the Nuneaton Fiat dealership to the handover of my motorhome having had the work completed, the service was first class. Having never used the dealership before, I was keen to establish what they thought the cause of the fault was and the likely options and costs before agreeing to getting the work done. They were very patient in explaining this and clearly knew what they were doing. The technician who repaired my vehicle was also happy to take the time to explain what had been done and to show me the fault. Thank you to Amanda Dux, Ian Rawson-Mackenzie and the technician for making this as painless as possible! I will certainly be back.
