Complaints Procedure
We have an industry leading reputation for our excellent customer service which means we very rarely need to adopt a complaints procedure. However, we still think it’s vital to have one in place to ensure our customers have complete peace of mind. It’s always our intention to resolve any issues quickly & at the point of initial concern. However, we understand that there may be instances where a complaint requires escalation, in which case the following procedure will be implemented:
In the event of an unresolved service or quality issue with Autorama UK Ltd, please email customerservice@vanarama.co.uk.
