Complaints Procedure
At Priceless Auto Services Ltd, we constantly strive to deliver the highest possible standard of service from the very first point of contact throughout every stage of your enquiry, purchase, and after sales experience.

We take all feedback seriously and view every complaint as an opportunity to improve the way we do business. Our goal is to handle your complaint fairly, transparently, and as quickly as possible.

Repairs Undertaken Under Complaint or Consumer Rights Act 2015
Where a customer raises a concern or complaint relating to a purchased vehicle, Priceless Auto Services Ltd reserves the right under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to inspect and, where appropriate, undertake repair work before any refund, replacement, or rejection request is considered.
Customers must allow us a reasonable opportunity and time to diagnose and repair the reported issue.
The definition of "reasonable" will depend on the complexity of the fault and the availability of parts, technical data, or specialist services. In general:
-
Minor or straightforward issues may be resolved within 1 and up to 30 days.
-
More complex or technical repairs, especially those requiring manufacturer involvement, external engineering assessments, or specialist components, may take up to 6 months.
During this period, the customer will be updated on progress, and all work will be carried out using appropriate skill, care, and diligence in line with industry standards.
Once the repairs are complete and the customer has been notified that the vehicle is ready for collection, the customer must collect the vehicle within 5 working days unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Failure to do so may result in storage charges of £25 + VAT per day, starting from the sixth day after notification.
The company accepts no liability for delays caused by external suppliers, parts shortages, third-party warranty authorisations, or factors beyond our control.
If a vehicle is not collected within a reasonable time after completion and written notice has been provided, Priceless Auto Services Ltd reserves the right to take further action to recover costs incurred, including storage fees.Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)
The Financial Ombudsman Service provides a free, impartial, and independent service for customers who have complaints relating to regulated financial activity (for example, vehicle finance or credit broking).
Please note that the Financial Ombudsman Service will only consider your case once Priceless Auto Services Ltd has had the opportunity to fully investigate and respond.
