Good morning,

May I pass my congratulations on to your Company! This is only due to the personal service I receive from Stephen Mead every time I place an order.

We have a Motorhome. In Jersey there is nowhere on the Island where we can buy accessories for it. So we had to select a Company from many on the Internet. It was a random choice when we picked out Southdowns Motorcaravans.

So you can imagine how impressed we are to find Stephen! Stephen responds to my emails which are often at out of hours and odd times of the week, within seconds, and usually I have difficulty describing the item I need, as I have no brochure or sizes appertaining to the item I am looking for.

Never is there a problem he doesn't solve. He completely knows all about your stock sales, and he is friendly and obliging all the time, even if it's a Sunday morning, his voice on the telephone is upbeat and alert. Any item he sends to Jersey is well wrapped, arrives in good condition and no matter how large or small it takes no time at all before I receive it. Fantastic. I have never met this man naturally, as we live in Jersey. But the service he offers on behalf of your Company is like shopping at our friendly corner shop over here and we are a close Parish Community!

In fact I was surprised to learn that he was not the Manager/Owner of Southdowns Motorcaravans! His Customer Service is exemplary. It is a pleasure to do business with him. Thank you for taking time to read my email. I expect you are very busy especially if all your staff are as obliging as Stephen.

Hi

First may I congratulate you on an excellent website particularly the gallery section, more comprehensive than anything provided by the manufacturers.

Hi Julie

Just a wee note to say thanks, all the parts have arrived and my motorhome now looks like it was never damaged, your help is greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely Alasdair T

Just a word of congratulations on your super-comprehensive set of photos.

Exactly what we buyers need to sort the vans out from our computers, so that we can go to the next show with only a few vans on our shortlist! I went to the last show hoping to buy a Burstner travel Van 620g (thinking I had whittles down my short list). Nowhere in the brochure did it say it only had one garage door (which was on our ‘must have’ list), so a lot of time was wasted.

Thank you for your sets of photos which will stop me making further mistakes!

On Monday 19th July I phoned your company and spoke with Stephen Mead regarding a Fiamma awning part for my motor home.

I explained what I wanted, gave him the part number, and with seconds he understood what I was after. He checked with me again to ensure he had the correct information, ordered it, took payment and as promised the part arrived today, Tuesday 20th.

The reason for this email is that I live near Wigan in the North West and had spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with several stockists in the Lancashire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester area trying to locate the part. With exception of one the service and help they offered leaves a lot to be desired.

Your Mr Mead is a credit to your company. Please pass on my thanks for his polite, efficient, knowledgeable service.

Dear Julie,

Just a note to thank you for the excellent service you provided! To recap, I phoned you on Tuesday morning around 11am with my card details (having emailed my address) for two sets of door retainers. Imagine my surprise when they landed on my doorstep the very next morning! Feel free to use this message to get a pay rise or any other publicity. Fantastic service!!!!

Thank you Colin B

Hi Julie,

Many thanks for the door retainers you sent for our Laika motorhome. May I congratulate you on your quick and efficient service which is in stark contrast to the service I received from (elsewhere), who I had initially contacted as they are our nearest Laika dealers. It seems they are only interested if you want to buy a new vehicle from them or if you bought your current van from them. Needless to say I will recommend your firm to any other Laika owners I meet.

Despite my initial worries over the Credo you been reassuring all along and I am most grateful for that. In fact all of the people I have met at Southdowns have been very good.

This morning when I emptied the mailbox it was a letter with four inside covers for our awning, I was very happy! Thanks for the great service and fast delivery!

I know that Bryn is writing a personal thank you to you and all your staff but I just wanted to add my thanks.

The “wagon” was simply amazing and everyone was so incredibly helpful, kind and so very generous it was extremely humbling. Quentin was just incredible, patient and always on hand, what a guy!

I simply can’t thank you and everyone at Southdowns Motor Centre for your amazing support to Help For Heroes.

I promise not to contact you again for a while at least!!!

Warmest Regards Mark Elliott, Chief Of Staff, Help For Heroes

Hello Joe,

Just to thank you for the good service you gave us today; we feel our trust will not be misplaced this time!

The van drove brilliantly on the way home and we are both delighted. The flowers were a nice touch.

Kind regards Carolyn and Keith F

Hi Ben,

Just wanted to say thanks (and to your staff) for no doubt making an effort to get my motorhome ready.

You could probably tell I was slightly stressed, worrying as I know little about motorhomes and whether you could make it happen in time.

Its a great experience, don't know how I lasted without one! Looking forward to a holiday in it!

Thanks again Andrew.
 


Dear Michael

We are very pleased with our new Rexosline motor home. We went away for a few days and it was great. There were a couple of things we could not understand but your helpful team at Southdowns soon put us right.

J is very pleased with everything especially the Toilet. We have struggled with the bed it is much heavier but lovely to sleep in so much more space.

Thank you very much for finding the Van and enabling us to have it we would never have afforded all the Extras.

Thanks also to all your Staff who have been so helpful and patient especially Ben and you.

Love J


Dear Andy

Reference electrical fault on Delfin 680.(Jersey CI) I think the problem has now been sorted.

It was just to thank you for your prompt return of my phone call which is so rare these days. Your company has helped me on a few occasions before of which the service is exceptional.

Many thanks David W
 


Dear All at Southdowns ,

Thank you so much for the kind and efficient help you gave us last Saturday when we collected ' Bertie ' , our TAB 400L , and the flowers were a lovely surprise .

We felt very comfortable for our first night and enjoyed seeing people's reactions as we drove along too ! We are looking forward to getting to know it more this weekend .

With best wishes from 2 happy TAB owners , Sue and Mike M.


Hello and Good Morning,

This morning after receiving a reply to my email I visited the shop to get some items, I would like to comment that Mike, The Store Person was excellent and helped me so much.

I have visited many outlets in Southampton and I can assure you they could do with having ten minutes with him.

Cheerful and knowledgeable and most of all time for the customer.

Thank you and best wishes Jack P  


Michael,

Have now been living continuously in the Cruiser for nearly one month. The MAN is behaving perfectly - going like a dream.

Our drive across Europe into Turkey was 4,100 kms, through some of the most treacherous weather imaginable, plus of course 3,400 metre mountains and blizzards and ice & snow with visibility down to 1 metre at times.

The MAN was perfect for such conditions. Have now done 8,400kms in the first month. Living in the Concorde is wonderful. It was speced exactly right for us. We would not change anything.

With best regards, Bernard & Olga  B


Hi Stephen,

Just to let you know that the Isabella T@B awning bag and box have just been delivered ! Thanks V much, I’m well impressed.
 


Hello . . . . . I ordered an end stop for my Fiamma yesterday afternoon, it arrived this morning,  !!!!

Thank you so much for such speedy service, and the gentleman (Stephen) was very helpful.

Thank you once again, IP


Dear Andy, Many thanks for your patience and knowledge earlier today when helping me on the phone with a problem on my Laika Ecovip double step.
I finally found the elusive problem, in no small part to your excellent directions around the van... seemingly from memory.

The van is due to be hired for a week as of tomorrow, so I stood to lose £400 with a cancellation, all for a 38p fuse but, I'd never have found that fuse without your help.

A credit to yourself and your company, well done.

Many thanks, Steve


Hi There, I just wanted to acknowledge the wonderful level of service I have just received from your company, I needed some Fiamma parts for my 1997 VW camper van and was going around in circles on there website, during my frustration I came across your website and called.

I was greeted by Stephen who took the reigns and within a couple of days the parts were on my van. I have since called Stephen to thank him. I wish I had received this level of service from where I purchased my van.

Regards Helena C T

 


Dear Michael

Thank you once again for your positive reply, how else could we or anyone ever goes elsewhere.

We love our new motorhome and had such great fun in our first visit this week to Longleat, in fact we would argue that we had more fun this week that all the tens of thousands we have spent in 5 star hotels over the world for many years.

I said to my wife that people are so friendly, respectful and considerate and I so wish I had done this 20 years ago.

Thank you once again for respecting our needs

Kindest regards Martin & Nikki K


Thank you very much for the service you gave and especially for the flowers.

Kind regards Alan & Pat C-O


Hi Michael, thought I'd send you a pic of Goliath (that's what we've christened our Concorde!),

We're in Almerimar, wild camping with the Germans - they all keep looking at our motorhome - probably because we've got the best one here (not that I'm biased or anything) and we are so pleased with it so thanks again for everything.

Regards Suzy



Hi Julie,

Andy phoned us with info and we have managed to repair fault without use of circuit board. I will sent it back to you.

Hi Alyson,

I really appreciate your help.

I have contacted the relevant authorities in France, and it looks like I have to obtain a certificate of conformity from the chassis ie Ford, but its a lot more complicated, i'm beginning to wish I hadn't bought it. I'll take it from there and see what happens.

Thanks again, Mark


Hi Alyson,

What an amazing service 10 Minutes after spending email for marker light it arrives in post most impressive. Have posted other one back many thanks
