What is a complaint?
A complaint is an expression of dissatisfaction whether justified or not. Sometimes a problem can be resolved quickly, simply by speaking to a member of our staff or a manager in the relevant department. However, if the member of staff considering the matter believes that a more substantive review will be required in order to respond to the issues raised, your complaint will be considered under the formal complaint procedure.
Our Standards
How to complain
Complaints can be made and received in a variety of ways; email or letter, but where possible complaints should be made in writing, so that the details of the complaint are clear and complete.
What information is required when making a complaint?
Please provide the following:
A. Complaints concerning Sales or Aftersales
a. In the first instance telephone the relevant Department Manager at the store; See phone numbers here: https://www.allelectric.co.uk/contact-us/
b. If they are unable to resolve your complaint, please put your complaint in writing (either by letter or email) to the General Manager of the store; or alternatively, fill out the "I have a complaint" form for the relevant department (Sales or Aftersales).
c. The General Manager will acknowledge your complaint in writing within 7 working days (and update you with details of who is dealing with it) plus, they will ensure that the division’s Franchise Director is informed of your complaint;
d. The General Manager will write to you with their findings within 14 working days; In some cases, we may need more time to respond and if so we will write to you with an update of the situation.
We are confident that the above process will resolve your complaint to your satisfaction, but if you do not feel this is the case having exhausted the process, you are of course at liberty to take external advice and you may refer your complaint to The Motor Ombudsman (TMO) or The National Conciliation Service free of charge:
