Great choice of new and used vans, with no pushy sales at all. The whole service team are great and PC&M should be proud to have such a great team. I can’t wait to get out on the road in my new-to-me van. I won’t hesitate to return to PC&M when I’m ready to upgrade or need any accessories or spares.
Our policies
Complaint handling procedure
Preston Caravans and Motorhomes is a member of the NCC Approved Dealership and Holiday Home Distributor Scheme. A key commitment under the GN01 that lies at the heart of the scheme is that we maintain a clear and formal written complaints procedure and take effective and immediate action to try and resolve any customer complaint. Our procedure is as follows:
If you want to make a complaint:
a) We will acknowledge your complaint, in writing or by phone, within 2 working days of receipt.
b) We will issue an initial response or a final decision, in writing, as soon as possible or at the latest within 10 working days of complaint receipt.
c) If we issue an initial response and you notify us that it does not resolve your complaint, we will issue a final decision, in writing, as soon as possible or at the latest within a further 5 working days.
d) in all instances, if we justifiably need more time to investigate and manage your complaint (e.g. because it involves another party), we will provide written reasons why and an estimate of the date when we expect to be able to issue an initial response or final decision.
e) We will keep a complaints log which will be available for inspection by NCC assessors.
- We will keep you informed either by letter or e-mail. whichever you prefer.
- For all complaints we will provide either a response and/or a final decision in writing. Any final decision will include details of the NCC Informal Dispute Resolution Service and the Independent Case Examiner (the Examiner) in case you require independent redress. Please note that the Examiner will only consider complaints that have been first sent to, and considered by, the NCC Informal Dispute Resolution Service.
- If you are not satisfied with our final decision, or if we exceed the response timescales, you should then refer your complaint to the NCC for informal dispute resolution. If this fails to resolve your complaint or if the NCC Informal Dispute Resolution Service is not able to handle your complaint, your complaint may be escalated to the Examiner. We will co-operate fully with the Examiner during an investigation and comply with his final decision which is binding on us both. Please note an administration fee of £60 (including VAT) will be charged by the NCC should you wish to use the Examiner service. This fee is refundable only if the Examiner finds in your favour, subject to his discretion. There are no other charges to you for using this service.
- We will liaise, at your request, with anyone acting formally on your behalf (e.g Trading Standards, Citizen’s Advice Bureau, Consumer Advice Centre, etc)
