First class engagement during the quote and ordering process

The engagement with Julian at Forces Cars Direct was excellent and prompt with everything explained clearly. The only glitch I had was an incorrect price for the model variant I had requested which meant a modest price increase when I came to actually place the order. That aside, I was very happy with the ordering process and communication. The big plus of course is the significant discount over dealer RRP which makes the purchase all the more rewarding!

Great Experience and A Great Saving

Clear and concise guidance throughout the process making everything very straight forward and an enjoyable experience. One of the very few occasions when it all sounds 'too good to be true' - but turns out to actually be TRUE - super saving (still smiling).

Such an easy process

Such an easy process - informative along every step of a journey to order a car. We went to several car show rooms and they admitted they just couldn’t be beaten on price. Excellent customer service and not just by bots but friendly staff at the end of of a phone or email. We couldn’t recommend this organisation more.

Fantastic service

My contact with this company was the best decision I have ever made, from my initial contact with Steven who did not put any salesman pressure, to the delivery of my new car, everything was efficient and professional. My allocated delivery coordinator Amy was superb keeping me informed at all stages of the order. They were very flexible on my delayed collection date due to a planned holiday and the payment transfer was smooth and only required 2 days before collection. In addition to the savings by using the company the whole process is highly recommended to anybody looking to purchase a new vehicle.

Just collected our new Lexus and are so pleased - we saved £6,000 off list, thanks to FCD.
It was a super simple process, even able to apply our private registration from new (dealer dependant). Amy, our delivery co-ordinator, guided and helped us through the process....thanks, Amy!
We feel we had a better service using FCD than any of the big franchised dealerships were providing on used cars, including Jaguar and Mercedes. The discounts available through FCD allowed us to buy NEW, rather than used. Our experience was seamless and we completely recommend FCD if you want to save money. The Lexus UX suits us perfectly for what we need, especially as the LIST price was just below £40k and saved paying the additional road fund taxes.

Very friendly and knowledgeable agents

The process of ordering is really easy and simple to follow and any queries I've had were addressed immediately by Forces Cars Direct staff members.
Prices are very competitive and I have yet to find anyone who can match the savings made on the price of a new car.
