Complaints Procedure

​At LIND, we strive to provide a fantastic experience for all, on every occasion. We understand however that sometimes you may come away feeling you require further assistance or your experience wasn't quite up to our usual LIND standard. In such instances, we want to put things right first time and with your feedback we can improve our processes to ensure we're constantly improving. If you feel you need to reach out to us your complaint or feedback will be taken seriously and we will make every effort to investigate the problem thouroughy with a view to resolving the issue.

In the first instance, we would ask you to contact our Experience team either by post or email, providing as much detail as possible to help us understand and investigate your particular situation. Email us at crm@lind.co.uk and use the subject line "Customer Complaint" or if you'd prefer you can post us a letter to Experience Team, Porsche Centre Norwich, 2 Neatmarket, Norwich, NR4 6FB.

What happens next?

We will acknowledge your correspondence within 5 working days of receiving it. We will always deal with complaints as quickly as we can and will carry out a full and impartial investigation of the issues you raise, although some complaints may take longer to resolve. If the investigation is still incomplete after eight weeks, we will contact to you again and explain what stage the process has reached and how we are planning to proceed.

What if we cannot resolve your complaint?
