But at least I've got a TT again. It even works once I'd dug out the product codes, device codes and activation codes again.
They're probably going to hate me for this (but they should direct their hate to their customer, TomTom, for their having some of the shoddiest Customer Support I've experienced for some time). Just in case your returned TT goes wandering around Europe in its quest to be repaired, and ends up in Scotland. You might want to try your luck contacting them direct for progress on your product:
Computer Repair Centre Ltd
1 James Watt Avenue
Westwood Park
Glenrothes
Fife
KY7 4UA
There's even a phone number: 01592 719618
Remember: Don't vent your spleen on Computer Repairs Centre Ltd - they're just doing their job. Its TomTom you want to have a go at! |
That is interesting  , I live about half a mile from that repair centre, so if mine goes faulty, It gets collected by UPS back to tomtom, who UPS back to Glenrothes, who then UPS back to TomTom, then UPS back to me in Glenrothes again, Hmm could I not hust drop any future faulty TomTom at "Computer Repair Centre Ltd" and miss out all the the middle men (UPS)  |

Yep - Got one from Jaap on the 19th - just a holding reply saying that the TT was still in repair. Didn't get anything after that (no tracking no. etc) |

Just sorted out a UPS return on a dead One with TT and it's going to Holland.
Where does Genrothes come into the equation? |

TT are using the Scottish firm to do some of their repairs for them. So if the TT telephone helpdesk tell you that "its gone to Scotland" you'll know where its off to! |

|
|
I'm having real fun and games trying to get my Go 300 repaired.
I too have experienced the long delay via Holland - numerous emails to chase - a letter of complaint and then lo and behold the unit tirned up today in exactly the same state as when it went to Holland.
It came back from Glenrothes with a contact phone number which doesn't exist.
I tried the number given in one of the posts above - again that doesn't exist.
Tom Tom? Great unit when it works but when it breaks?
No way again - give me a Garmin or any other for that matter. |

I'm going to get my fingers rapped for this by the Team, but for the out-of-warranty units you can always try us. |

Eldar - no reason why you should - better than the service we're experiencing from TT.
I've now tried to post two questions via the website and both have dissappeared!
Its good to talk - just not to yourself |

I feel your pain. My classic Go has blown up twice (with smoke and everything!). I told them I was not willing to send it for repair yet again so wrote them a rather blunt letter. I suggest you do the same. The address is:
TomTom Sales BV
Customer Support - Customer Relations Department
Rembrandtplein 35
1017 CT Amsterdam
The Netherlands
Good luck. |

| Nope - if this one goes the same way (and I have a suspicion that it will as the design has not changed) then it will go back to Halfords as being unfit for purpose - I've already discussed this with them! |

Further to my earlier post I have at last started to receive some service from TomTom, although it's still not concluded.
After sending an email complaining that all the phone numbers quoted were out of date they provided me with another. I rang and spoke to a very helpful lady who told me to send back the whole unit with faulty card and it would be sorted.
So the unit was collected, but the next day TomTom rang to say that a new card had been sent out FOC, together with a holder to replace my broken one. They arrived, but the only trouble is that my unit is now in Holland.
Why didn't they tell me that they were sending me a new card, instead of asking me to send back the unit?
I now await with interest, and baited breath, to see how long it takes them to send back the unit.
We are now in the third month!  |

Ooh yess
returned my unit without the holder etc, said I hadn't sent it, told them to check their own return note and was told I'd get it 5-10 days - todays the 10th day wonder whats the odds I'll get it this week??
All of this while their system was apparently down!
Not hanging by my fingernails waiting - now its been around 2 months without a working unit - some service |

So two weeks since I was told my docking station and handlerbar holder would be dispatched and guess what - nothing
Phoned today and guess what - don't know what your talking about we'll look into it and call back in 30 mins
Guess what - hee haw - nothing
Looks like this will be three months without an opertional unit - at best!!!
£400 for the pleasure of Tom Tom storing my unit!! |

I am still waiting for my unit to be turned round (without repair) and returned to me.
To add insult to injury I received an email today asking me to be patient!
3 months without a working unit. How much patience do they expect me to have?
If you want a sat nav my advice would be steer clear of Tom Tom with a very long bargepole!  |
