Simon Jufil Nick Sarah and Pamela are the people I dealt with and I can say they were and are Brilliant in the service techniques Purchased a Commodore vxr with all the bells and whistles had the Paint done bonnet protector headlamp protectors window shades and extras and they went beyond the call from finance to sales to service could not Fault it they were professional and the car is amazing I would recommend them to those looking for a New Demo or Used car to go and see these People you will no be disappointed.
I Thank You Tony Yarrawonga

Poor customer service
Had to get a replacement part for my car. Spoke to reception, then waited to transfer me to the service department who took all the details then at the end said had to be transferred to the spare parts area to get a quote for the part. Another 10 minutes and with the part quote I am transferred back to service department who did not believe the price quote, so had to wait on phone while they confirmed the price. After 25 minutes, I finally was able to get a price to replace a part on my Holden. Very poor customer service.

Castle Hill Holden - Service Department
My 2022 Holden Colorado was due for its 12,000 service. I called to book it in, I mentioned three things on top of the scheduled service. 1) Navagation/maps needs an update as it’s not functioning correctly 2) Asked if they could order the nudge bar sensor wire loom so that the front sensors could be connected 3) I mentioned that occasionally the car doesn’t go into reverse instead revs out in stationary position. The customer service person was polite and friendly, stating that she would ensure the wire loom was ordered and ready to be install...Read more
ed and notes have been written with my booking. Day of scheduled service- I arrive 9am, I ask about navagation /maps and wire loom. The young lady on the front desk tells me “Sorry sir but we don’t have the map update on site it’s something that needs to be ordered in, so you will have to come back another day, and I will get the workshop to check which wire loom your car needs and I will give you a call with a quote” . 1:10pm I call the service centre to check progress on my car. I get told “ Sir your car is in the workshop it shouldn’t be much longer, we will call you as soon as it is finished”. 2:00pm I get my wife to drop me off at the service centre as I’m happy to wait the short time. Upon my arrival, I see my car parked out the front of the centre so I’m thinking happy days my car is ready. I take a seat and wait for 15minutes before approaching the young lady at the front desk. The front Lady goes back into the work shop and came back in two minutes later walking herself straight into the managers office before coming back out to update me. “Sir I’m really sorry but your car isn’t ready we are still waiting for parts, the wire loom for the front sensors is coming from Melbourne and won’t be here till 3pm then the workshop will have to install it. I then express my disappointment telling her that this simply is not at all food enough, with the lady going on to tell me that she is sorry she stuffed up by not calling me today and that the person that booked my car in didn’t know that the service centre don’t have the navigation update on site. As I write this review I sit patiently in the service centre watching the service centre admin team chilled out appearing to enjoy there slow Wednesday afternoon. I note there is only one other person now seated in the waiting area for their car to be completed, I hope they are having a better experience then I am.

Absolute rubbish after sales service
So I (foolishly) bought a Commodore ZB RS wagon, and had a Holden genuine towbar fitted by the dealer. Now the park assist doesn't work and my local dealer who is 40 minutes closer than the dealer I bought it from (and has serviced our cars for 5 years) won't fix it. Sure they tried a few simple things but now they are saying they need to remove the rear bumper and it won't be covered by warranty!!! Freaking unbelievable!! I am the first private owner of this car (it is a dealer demo) and it has 4 years warranty left. The original dealer is hap...Read more
py to have a look but they are over an hours drive away and I will need to get a hire car whilst they try to fix it. DO NOT BUY A HOLDEN, WORST MOST USELESS WARRANTY EVER. I even had 2 different people from Holden give me 2 different stories, one even suggested had I had the towbar fitted interstate that I would have to return to that dealer, absolutely ludicrous. Now I have to return to the dealer that sold me the car and fitted the towbar, as this is not a quick fix I will probably have to hire a car, so don't be fooled into thinking a warranty means no out of pocketr expenses, IT DOESN'TSimilar opinion?

Dandenong Holden- Calais V
Awesome service from enquiry to purchase of 2 new Holden Calais Vs. Treated with the utmost respect, spend plenty of time at delivery going over the many features of the vehicles and phoned us two weeks later to 'check in' and make sure we are still loving the vehicle and don't have any concerns.
First service arrives and service team member explains everything they will be doing- offered a lift or sit and wait in the comfortable waiting area for the 1 hour service. Once services has been completed, car is driven to to the undercover pick up a...Read more
rea, and the team member comes and over to advise that the service is complete, gives a run down of what has been done and you are then on your way. Two weeks after each service another 'check in' phone call. This is by far the best car dealership I have ever dealt with and have since referred a few buyers there way.Similar opinion?

Air Bag recall debacle Blacktown
I recently received an urgent recall notice for my Holden Astra, to then be informed by Heartland Holden Blacktown that I can only drop my car off before between 9am and 1pm, Monday to Friday. I informed them that My work hours are between 7am and 3pm to which the person on the phone basically said "Bad Luck they only do the recall repairs at these times". So I called Holden Customer Care who informed me the latest I can drop my car off is 2pm and if I required a Courtesy car it would cost $20. I know this is a small amount but I should not have to incur any cost because it's their fault. Plus I should be able to drop off and pick up my car at my convenience not Holdens.

I hope their honest and show due respect at baysiden holden Chelsea tomorrow.
As you can see...i havnt rated them yet, but will when once they fix the problem with my sons SS sedan he bought around this time last year for quite a large sum of money.
Ive just read every review going back 5 ish years...and at face value the complaints are 95% the same. Yet the responses from the owner state " we take every review seriously, and have steps in place to stop it from recurring". Which clearly does not happen. And no, i don't want to josh......yet.

Never ever buy a Holden. I was a loyal follower of Holden until now
Transmission issue on my Holden Cruze. Holden indicated they are not prepare to replace despite it is a clear defect which caused leakage of coolant into the transmission and vice versa.
Stay away from Holden. Despite I am a 3rd gen supporter. This is what you get to trust a car which is DEFECTIVE.

Buyer Beware
Buyer beware! We were sold a car that was a repairable write off for “Hail Damage” only to find out when we tried to sell the vehicle this was a lie! The PPSR report never said Hail Damage but Phoenix Holden put a huge stamp across our contract of sale stating it was written off for “Hail Damage” when it was actually written off for “Fire Damage”. These people will do anything to sell a car!

UPDATE:
An update on the Holden Calais, Motorama City Holden (The Dealer principal & and Service Manager) have meet with Dan and I this afternoon. To say I was highly charged and ready for a fight is an understatement.
This was thankfully quickly over and we came to an agreement that was suitable for all parties. Motorama have acknowledged that We were given miss leading advice which lead to major safety concerns of us travelling in the car or even worse endangering the life of our children. Hopefully by this time Monday this will all be...Read more
over and we will be again travelling in our much loved Calais. A big thank you to Simon and Joe who were very amenable to our situation. 4 Brand new tyres and alignment will be carried out by Motorama.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Craptiva
I purchased a Holden Captiva in 2012 second hand with low kms and boy did I get a lemon! I had to have the motor replaced by Holden due to a fault with the Roller Rockers - something that Holden was very aware of.
After lengthy discussions with Pacific Holden at Gateshead they finally agreed with the ACCC that yes this fault needs to fixed and not just my car there were many, so a new motor goes in in 2105. I had two friends with Craptivas going through simular issues.
On we go from there with several other problems with the car to which I'...Read more
ve had serviced elsewhere due to Holden poor customer care. Since this xmas the car has stopped for no apparent reason in traffic several times to which NRMA has come to the rescue and towed it to the desired mechanic. The mechanic has it for a week, couldn't find the problem so I'd get it back. This went on 3 or 4 times before I took it to Newcastle Auto Electrics. They found the problem - a new computer system was needed and a second hand one not possible in a Diesel car, the cost approx $2000. So as Ive spent far more than the car is worth by now I figured I'd ask Holden for help ? It was a long shot but given all the money I've spent on my Craptiva, having a conscience to not sell a lemon to another family I thought at least I could get Holden advice from Holden . The car has always been properly serviced and garaged so what do I do? Take it to the scrap yard?Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Terrible Customer Service
This review should have been written 4 years ago. I purchased my new Colorado from Ballarat Holden, and was advised on purchase it would be 12 weeks for the canopy to arrive, which i excepted. After the 12 weeks i said where is my canopy. After a few choice words back and forth with the new car sales manager, he said the canopy was never going to arrive within 12 weeks and it was to be 6 months. His next comment is what took me back, i did what i did to get the sale we all do. Go Ballarat Holden.
Every service i have had nothing but issues, the...Read more

CUSTOMER CARE, DO NOT CARE
After engine issues in the very early stages of owning the vechile Holden was unable to diagnose the issue. After 12+ months it turns out it was an oil issue.
The damage to the engine was extensive and Holden have don't little to help their "solution" to the issues was to offer me 2k off a new vechile price. It was a sales tactic. Not assistance.
Very disappointed in Holden
