Our complaints process

We’re really sorry you’ve had a bad experience. We try to go the extra mile with our service, but sometimes things go wrong. Get in touch using the details below, and we’ll make things right as quickly as possible. 

Thank you for taking the time to reach out – we know it’s a pain, and we’re grateful that you’re helping us improve our service.

How to complain

Complain about a vehicle or dealer

If you’re having an issue with a vehicle, it’s best to talk to the dealer who sold it to you. If you need your dealer’s contact details or more support, give us a call. 

If you’ve had a bad experience with a dealer, please let us know. We’ll look into it and try to make things right. We take complaints very seriously, and work hard to give you the best service possible.

Complain about data or privacy issue

We know how important your privacy is. Find out everything you need to know about your rights, options and how your data is used in heycar’s Privacy Policy.  This will also tell you how to make complaints about your data, privacy, or the content of any user submission. 

Complain about financing

If you’re having a problem with anything to do with finance, please get in touch. If we can't sort it within three business days, we'll pass it over to our main partner, Volkswagen Financial Services (UK) Limited. They’ll get it sorted and report back to you.
