"I don't think our ads are sexist" Executive Chairman Sean Buckley

While the brand continues to be flooded with negative feedback and customers pledge to never book a car service with them again, Executive Chairman of Ultra Tune Sean Buckley posted an ill advised statement defending the ads on Facebook.

Buckley instructs customers to find the ads "funny" and not sexist.

Further to this, Buckley invited customers to give feedback about its customer service. What followed were hundreds and hundreds of comments condemning its advertising AND its customer service.

This ad is appalling and irresponsible on so many levels.

Have you considered how your current ad where a train hits a car impacts train drivers and their families? Not to mention young people watching the tennis? I’m absolutely disgusted that you think this sort of ad is acceptable.

Refused to consider buying a trailer (my husband and I) the other day as the walls of the firm had sexist calenders. Just walked out. Same here Ultra Tune- you haven’t got our custom.
