Complaints Handling Policy

Purpose and Scope

At Close Motor Company, we always strive to deliver the highest standards of customer service. However, we understand that sometimes things may not go as planned. This policy explains how we handle complaints, what you can expect from us, and how you can escalate your concern if you remain dissatisfied.
Our aim is to resolve your complaint quickly, fairly, and transparently.

This policy covers:

  • How to contact us

  • What to expect when you make a complaint

  • How we handle and respond to complaints

  • What to do if you’re not satisfied with our response

 

What Is a Complaint?

A complaint is any expression of dissatisfaction — whether justified or not — about our products, services, or staff.
Many issues can be resolved immediately by speaking with a member of our team or a manager. If your concern requires further investigation, it will be handled under our formal complaints process.

 

Our Commitments

When you make a complaint, you can expect that:

  • You will always be treated fairly, respectfully, and with courtesy.

  • We will acknowledge your complaint within 5 working days.

  • We’ll keep you updated and let you know when you can expect a full response.

  • Every complaint is recorded, reviewed, and analysed to help us continuously improve our service.

 

How to Make a Complaint

You can make a complaint by phone, email, or in writing.
To help us resolve your issue efficiently, please include:

  • Your full name and contact details

  • Vehicle registration, make, and model (if relevant)

  • Dates and times related to the issue

  • A clear description of your complaint

  • Copies of any supporting documents

Where possible, please send your complaint in writing so that we have a clear record of all the details.
