The washroom basin in our van recently developed hairline cracks,which, due to the basin being part of a whole wall looked like being an expensive repair. A warranty claim was submitted by my dealer but was turned down by Swift, their thinking was that something had been dropped into the basin. This was not the case and I posted an enquiry on the forum to see if the problem was a known fault. The posting proved negative, however, it was picked up by Kath, Swifts representative on the forum who sent me a message saying that they were going to look at my claim again. A couple of days ago, without any input from me, I received a call to say that Swift had now accepted the claim, parts were on the way, and they would be covering all costs.

We read a lot of negatives regarding motorhome manufacturers lack of aftercare but I feel that Swifts very presence on the forum points to a genuine concern for its customers. I am bound to be a bit biased now of course but what a good response.

Cynical old me!!!!

Is this treatment just for forum posters or does it include the other 99% of Swift owners?

I don't think so as my tow bar for my new sundance still hasn't turned up at the dealers from Swift and nobody has contacted me yet to find out the problem.... Very Happy

Still collecting it Friday though just hacked off that after 3 weeks Swift cannot deliver parts but then that's the dealers story.

Each case should be judged individualy, and this one is positive so I believe give credit where credit is due,and it seems to be due now

Hi EJB,

Cannot say as regards other dealers, but Swift deal responsibly with any problems we come up with.

Needless to say at the end of the day if they did not, they would get the sharp edge of my tongue as it is MY customers they are dealing with.

If you want it from the sharp end ask our Service manager.

Not cynical Ted-just (IMO) suspicious- and a reasonable point to make. which I've made before.

On a certain other Forum, where Swift don't Post, there's been a lot of criticism of the company.

Back in the bunker now! Wink

I bought into Swift because I believe their aftercare is currently extremely good.
My comments were trying to take advantage of the situation and not meant to be negative. Smile

Hi Pete,
Can you send me a PM with your details and who who your dealer is so we can investigate and find out what has happened,
Thanks

I started the thread due to the fact that the action took place due to Swifts presence on the forum. I think it an enlightened outlook that they monitor the feedback regarding their company and are prepared to step in and act on it if necessary. Oh that other of the 'big boys' would do the same.
