Disgrace!! I would never spend another penny with this company! The van we bought in 2020 has had endless problems form the beginging. I was advertised as having a bike rack, tv/dvd player and solar panel but
none of these were on the van when we came to collect it! I was told there was a mistake on the advert!!! Regretfully, in a bid not to spoil our excitement, we settled for a tv/dvd they 'had in stock'. We had to come back again so it could be fitted (2hr round trip).
We were told the van was ready to collect and in full working order. We collected our van and started preparing

Took our Carthago for a habitation service, that went ok. They called us saying that the leisure battery was not holding charge and that they could replace it for £200.
I refused, as it was fine beforehand, and low and behold... there was nothing up with it. How many people have they tried this with?
Also, asked if they would look at the water jets as they didn't work. They called and said that it needed a new motor, and that they would need to order the part in, we didn't go ahead, as we needed our van, so would get it done closer to home. When driving it back, the motor must have miraculously

Purchased our very first motorhome from EJ Hartley. The service and knowledge from their branch manager Steve was just amazing from start to finish. He even put some fuel in tje motorhome when we collected it for us to drive home during the recent fuel shortage. Would recommend this company very highly.

Had a problem with our gas boiler I phoned around and Lee the service manager was excellent, where other dealers would not fit us in for an emergency most quoting 3 months to get an appointment he fitted us in within a few weeks. On arrival he was very courteous and professional as his telephone manner had led me to believe he would.
I have no hesitation in recommending ES Hartley because of Lee's customer service.

We had heard some good things about Hartley's so we travelled to Ings today with the intention of seeing some Wildax motorhomes and potentially ordering a new one. On walking into the showroom we were greeted by a man who told us that he didn't have any stock to sell to us and that all the ones that we were interested in were infact sold so couldn't see inside them, and that no Wildax vans would be arriving for three months. He didn't bother to leave his chair and we were in and out in a couple of minutes. Very disappointing indeed.

Not a very good response so far from the after sales service team. I’ll post full details if I don’t get the service over a warranty claim.

We are delighted with our campervan. Mark, Simon and Kyle made it all very easy including the finance, and the service, warranty etc gives great peace of mind. Very happy campers.

The Ings branch has been absolutely amazing. We bought a new van from them that has had a number of problems. None of the problems were attributable to Hartleys. To be honest it was all bought in parts by the manufacturer. But Hartleys as the last man in the chain took charge and fixed everything. I would recommend them to anyone. They have gone above and beyond to sort out problems that weren’t their doing. Special thanks to Sandra.

Just had my motorhome habitation service completed at ES Hartley.
Could not recommend enough, attention to detail is fantastic and I will be using again.
I travelled a long way and there are many dealers a lot closer to me, definitely worth the trip.

Having gone to E S Hartley looking to purchase a motor home I was still unsure so it was recommended to me to hire one and in effect try before you buy. So glad I did and myself and my two children had an absolute ball. I now know exactly what our requirements are. Matthew (touring cars side) has been fantastic to deal with and guided me through everything. Very straight forward and everything included (bedding, towels) to get you on the road.

Excellent service from the first time we visited the showroom to our eventual purchase. I had to travel from Inverness by train to collect our new camper "Rocky II" and as usual the trains were delayed but Simon and the guys hung around for me so they could do a full handover before I drove home. After service has been excellent, had an issue with the gas regulator that could not have been foreseen at the time of purchase or inspection but again no issues in getting it sorted. Thanks Simon for the excellent service.
