Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Very easy to access, having the app all I have to do is literally drive in... You get charged direct to card very quickly after leaving."
  • "I parked here for a close and secure location to Manchester Victoria station, only a 5-10min walk away."
  • "Ample parking on 2nd floor when 1st is usually full."
  • "Firstly, I was lucky to get the last EV charger."
  • "It's very secure, there's a barrier that opens upon arrival (kinda makes it look closed) - and the only way to re-enter the car park is to scan the ticket by the entrances."
  • "We parked in the Q parking Deansgate North. Pre booked and was super easy and the car park was easy to find and enter."
  • "The car park is bright, has wide bays and the ramps are not tight to get round."

Cons:

  • "Had to walk to nearest bank to put cash on my card as didn't want to follow advice of the operator that I should ask a complete stranger to pay on their card and I would give them cash!!!"
  • "The Exit signage is rather poor and I spotted several cars driving round more than once confused on how to get out."
  • "The other poor thing I saw at this car park was lack of pay machines, several who needed to pay queued up."
  • "Took forever for operator to answer the help desk."
  • "Can you please tell me how you are supposed to access this car park avoiding the Bus Lane!!"
  • "Only had cash which they do no accept, ticket was for £2 and woman on the intercom was unhelpful asking to get a passer by to pay it on there card."
  • "Terrible ticket system failure at this Q-Park. Wouldn’t accept credit card on entry, no obvious option to pay via machine on exit."

Security

Pros:

  • "The car park itself seemed secure, until I went to walk out - the secure doors were all wide open...."
  • "In fairness to them, they've since refunded me no questions asked after contacting them via their website, so can't complain too much."
  • "Best car park in the city centre. Large spaces, super bright and clean and most importantly - secure."
  • "Great car park! Secure, Central, but Pricey :)"
  • "One of the best carparks I have used in this country. It is clean and safe, with ample lighting and signage."
  • "Clean, modern, secure. Paid by card (after) at the machine."
  • "Very convenient and safe car park. Easy pre-booking and on-line payment, so could just drive in and out with number plate recognition."

Cons:

  • "I parked at the Deansgate Manchester car park, only to discover upon my return at 3:21 the same day that my vehicle had been robbed."
  • "Over time this security has lapsed seriously."
  • "On the last several occasions on Saturdays the entrance shutter has been open permanently negating security."
  • "Calling this a secure car park is laughable. I never see any ‘host’ or staff members as they like to advertise."
  • "An ok car park but have some security concerns. Sliding door which is usually opened by parking ticket often left open."
  • "However, there is not always a security guard onsite. There are kids socialising and hanging out in the car park at night."
  • "This car park used to be good. As a season pass holder, the ‘security’ doors hardly ever work."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Parked here the other day and was rushing to an appointment so I needed to leave the car park - a wonderful employee named Ojo was so fabulous."
  • "Then when I got back to my car the attendant, Nurdin, was really helpful with helping to validate my ticket, use the door entry system etc."
  • "The parking Host was extremely helpful it had been years since I had used this parking facility and he explained how I could pay and helped me scan my card when I couldn't reach the machine."
  • "Had a slight issue last Friday and used the live chat on the website to resolve without any problem."
  • "I used the Q park at Deansgate North and experienced amazing customer service from Daniel Borkowski."
  • "I would like to say a massive thank you to Daniel B who helped my partner in helping fix his vehicle."
  • "I have used this car park every time I come to Manchester. Staff have been friendly, approachable and problem solving every time I have been there."

Cons:

  • "staff unhelpful and very rude. Avoid this car park."
  • "I did email them about this and needless to say no one bothered to respond."
  • "Absolutely, utterly dire. By far the *worst* car park I've ever used in Manchester."
  • "Price just gone up though to £7 from £6 all day if there before 9am I might have to start shopping around."
  • "The machine was not working to pay. Rung the buzzer to call the staff all they could tell me that there no one on site."
  • "We have a residents parking account, have had for two years... Q Park don’t care, we cannot contact anyone for cctv, only option is to put in an online dispute."
  • "Avoid this car park at all costs if you are parking for the Arena and don’t know Manchester like the back of your hand."
