I disagree. They were on a tour, and Jay only said _''... he probably knew, because we were on a private little tour, that we bought some cars''_ - That's his own take/guesstimate, and not a fact. The CEO could be busy, had to take a shit or and didn't have time to talk to a random stranger. Imagine running a company like that, and having to talk to every Joe Smuck that enters your facility - You wouldn't be doing anything else at that point. Everything that Jay wanted, is what the tour-guide was giving - In fact, Jay didn't buy one of the cars, so it's even more waste of time 😉

The saying “rot starts at the top” is unquestionably valid. It has been my experience in all sorts of business that an organization cannot help but display the ethics of its leader, for better or worse. As the owner and president of my own very tiny business, I know that my mistakes have trickled down directly to my customers, to my great embarrassment and financial loss. I like to think I both remedied those and learned valuable lessons. It is infinitely harder to mitigate a customer’s unhappiness than it is to prevent it in the first place, but the latter requires true humility and serious financial commitment. Every customer experience reflects directly the behavior and ethics of the person at the top of the chain. Good leadership creates a culture of pride; bad actors are repelled by this, good ones are attracted, and the whole organization benefits in an almost organic way. It’s obvious that the exact opposite is occurring at McLaren Manchester, a small business in which the rot proceeds very quickly. The McLaren Cars parent company, though a larger business, is showing all the signs of bad management and the CEO you mentioned betrays all the predictable behavior. It would be gratifying to see him go.

I've NEVER had a manufacturer reach out to me personally, it was refreshing. McLaren now uses flexible glue for the windshield to help prevent stress cracks from the carbon Monocell2. So my ownership experience has been fine thus far. Shit happens, they are fixing, improving, and personally reached out. You don't have a McLaren problem, you have a dealer problem.

@@tovsteh True. But with McLAren and this dealer in particular there are enough telltale signs for even blind to spot. 1. McLarens are notorious for build quality. Part of that is pushing envelope beyond normal. Part of it is tradition set in stone by British Leyland. So if you like the brand you should be aware of this. 2. Any car dealer that gives you massive discount will have issues. A lot of them. if the difference in discount would be few % everything could see fine. From wording discount was massively better. There are few reasons, dealer can't sell enough cars, but this should only concern cheap car dealers. That means cars are in stock for long time ... For supercar being in sock for year, especially for a brand that rolls out new version every other week? Other reason for dealer to be desperate is bed rep with customers, mostly after sales, in case of expensive car buyers word gets around quickly, everyone knows everyone. You would not believe how small world gets when you start to sell shit worth 200k or more. Some research would highlight this to a certain point. Whether they did research or not, were blind to obvious signs does not matter. They made a choice to consider it good enough to put down 400k for 2 cars. After some time they did sober up, and and do not consider product or service good enough? Well as long as there is not breach of any law it is their fault. I agree with you that, at that price you expect at least good service if product has deficiency. And they have right to be pissed off. But first of all they should consider they are at least partially at fault too. Reasons? They certainly were aware they were issues with cars as built, bigger companies have issues, low volume car makers have ton of issues. As far as I can tell they would be content with that if service Received would be at least professional in behavior if not in technical capability. Any car dealer giving you massive discount more than month before end of fiscal year is big or rather huge warning. Double that with any premium brand. This is something JayEmm as outsider should notice in my opinion, if he was there as a car guru. MAybe they just did not consult before buy only when picking up cars. not 100% sure. Love, they love these cars i get it. But i also know love is blind, deaf and stupid. It takes time to open your eyes, unplug you ears and land on solid ground to sober up. and lastly. If you can only afford car at massive discount you are definitively not that brands customer. Sorry but it is like that. People tend to expect unrealistic things from something they can't afford. And when they get their hands on it they get really really disappointed. Truth is, if you can't afford something at full price you will not be able to afford at discount nor 2nd hand. All of this leads back to statement being true. Whether your expectations (ie you considered it good enough before purchase) were met or not (got sobered up afterwards) does not change rightness of their statement nor it being technically right as i explained. It is similar, You not knowing you are breaching law is not defense against being punished by said law. You not knowing what are you buying does not save you from having too high expectations. It does not really matter from what they arose in 1st place. There are more than enough laws already to protect people from their bad choices. Guess why ... Don't take me wrong. I do hope that both James and John will get their cars and owner experience to a point they want it to be, but at same time I am not going to feel sorry for them very much as partly they are at fault.

@Jorn Navarre Far from the best ever made, that would probably be the P5 or P6. But after what Leyland did to BL designing a range of cars in collaboration with Honda to create a fresh range of cars and work to eliminate their quality issues. It worked pretty well. Had BMW not bought the company to rape it of its assets, Rover would probably still be here.

@Jorn Navarre That's wasn't the last good car from Rover. I never said that, just that it was a good car. The Rover 25, 45 and 75 were all pretty great, they still hold up well today. Particularly the 75. So many restrictions were placed on them though to prevent the company from making the profit it was capable of. That range had been designed so they could be sold overseas but BMW barred them from doing that to prevent competition with their cars etc. Rover had also designed a new range to replace the Austin Mini, 25 & 45 in the early 2000s, BMW realised how good these new cars were and took the designs. The R50 Mini was set to replace the 25 and Austin Mini, that was a colossal market success. The Rover 35 was rebadged to become the BMW 1-Series, also a massive success. After stripping away Triumph, Riley and the Land Rover/Range Rover 4WD tech they sold Austin/MG Rover onto Phoenix. A notoriously scummy group of businessmen who funneled all profits from Rover directly into their own pockets, they also had to continue marketing 5 year old cars as they no longer had a new range to release. Obviously that wasn't sustainable so when there was no more money to line their banks they dumped it. JLR grabbed the Rover marque and eveything else disappeared. 7000 people lost their jobs overnight. I think Rover would likley still be here had it not been for BMW. Their joint work with Honda was excellent and the cars produced were rather good.

Caterhams - plenty of their engines pop well under 10k miles Ariels - designed with spherical bearings in shear, plus engines/clutches that go pop Ginetta - not a lot of info on these.

For someone making 8-12K a month, which isn't unreasonable for many business executives ( or even a university professor ), it's an expensive but possible expenditure if your house and all of that are already paid off. You've done well and want to own a supercar for a few years. 25K a year and all repairs are covered under warranty? Not as bad as it seems. Only the stupidly wealthy actually buy anything for cash these days - it's all leased/financed. And written off as an expense if possible.

This is a really fascinating series of videos, thank you for this! You have influenced my decision making process regarding the purchase of a new mclaren. That and the fact that I couldn't even afford an oil filter

Your initial comments about Brits accepting mediocre service is so true. I'm the guy who tells the Maitre D that the meal was poor and I've had to then deal with the 'embarrassment' of the other diners at the table who just wanted to say 'it's fine'.

The mediocrity point was a good one. I know I’ve had many situations where I’ve just said ‘yeah it was alright’ without wanting to point out the (usually minor but annoying) faults. All that will happen is more and more people will buy one car then go back to Porsche or Ferrari and mclaren will start to lose mindshare again.

weird how two days after this video Schmee posted one about how his GT is going back to McLaren due to premature rust and an airbag error after the battery got too low.

Absolutely appalling attitude of Manchester McLaren and Head office. Surprising re head office after the way you were strongly positive overall about them in the last video. A great subject matter that should make them 'both' sit up and get down off their high and mighty horses, or LOSE BUSINESS. Possibly lose THE business altogether. Humility is a lesson they need to learn, and fast. Good on you mate. Keep us updated please mate

I’m self employed in the building trade and it doesn’t matter how good you are or how much care you take sometimes things go wrong and items turn up damaged! As a company all you can do is apologise and try your best to put it right. I’ve always said that after sales service is everything when dealing with customers. If you are apologetic and keep customers informed most people are really happy and in some ways gives them more confidence in your company and more happy to recommend you. If you ask me McLaren have no excuse for there poor service
