I normally enjoy a visit to a used car…

I normally enjoy a visit to a used car sales team as much as a trip to the dentist…..

Josh was excellent when I test drove a lovely Clio for my sons first car. Friendly, honest with no hard sales pressure. We spoke on the phone before the visit and the car was exactly as described.

Would recommend to friends and family.

Good selection of cars too

Adam and Rick really made buying a car easy and stress free. The whole dealership is full of lovely cars. The only trouble your going to have is choosing what car to have.

Exception service from Adam

Exception service. What a fantastic place - we purchased my sons first car and they made the experience so lovely for him, we were seen by Adam and he was our point of contact throughout, very knowledgable, helped us and gave us great advice for insurance and other aspects of the car. He was not pushy at all, let us take our time (even though when we first arrived they were due to close) and they are just so friendly in there. Also had a batt with Rik (I think that was his name - another great asset to your team and super friendly)
The car was ready within a few days but happily held on to it for us for a convenient time for us, checking in by phone with my son and arranging a good time to collect.
The whole experience was professional, personable and this really is a place you can trust. Please do not look any further and check them out. Thanks you for everything.

Great people to deal with

I found Rik was very helpful and didn’t put me under any pressure. Invited me to take my time and look around. I found the car I wanted a few things needed to be sorted but were done before collecting. On collection Adam was there to sort out paperwork etc and again very helpful. Car was handed over all polished and clean looked beautiful. I was recommend to go to them and I would happily recommend to others.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, Rik had a wicked sense of humour that made the whole process seamless. Car MOT done before we collected it, even the tiny additional bits. We would 100% recommend.
