Amazing service

We have recently purchased a BMW from the motor company and we couldn't be more pleased. They are a very professional and friendly team. Blake was great, made sure we are updated all the way through and our questions answered. We would definitely recommend the company. Thank you so much guys Andreea and Don.

Just bought a used car from here. Excelent service.

Just bought a used Mini from here. Excelent service. Dan was very friendly and helpful and no pushy sales pitch. Gave me a fair price for my part ex considering it needed a VERY deep valeting. I would happily buy from here again and if you are after a 2nd hand car I would definitely recommend going here.

Interior Valet

Just picked my car up and I’m so pleased with the finish result. Alex Hood carried out an interior valet and did an amazing job. Customer service was great from start to finish and he managed to book me in last minute for the following morning. Thankyou so much.

Top quality sales service and truly…

Top quality sales service and truly cares about you.

I had the pleasure of meeting with Dan Rawlings who helped me find the perfect car. I'd wanted a VW Golf for a while and spotted one come into their showroom. Dan was happy to meet with me and took me for a test drive. He knew a lot about the car and the features even though they'd only had it in the showroom for less than a week. The car was in great condition and cheaper than the average sale price on AutoTrader so I was happy to proceed.

The car had it's MOT due in a few months time and so Dan decided to re-do the MOT before sale, the yearly service was also due in 4-5 months time which is typically outside the guidelines however Dan didn't question it and put it through a full years service before I purchased, giving me 12 months MOT & Service at no extra cost.

They also spent an entire day cleaning, polishing and protecting the cars' paint (it was immaculate, like-new) and interior upholstery which is guaranteed to protect it for life. All of this took no less than a couple days and, while I was in dire need of a car (due to previous write-off), I really appreciated the quick turnaround time.

All-in-all, a fantastic family-owned, local car dealership with top quality customer service. I'll be going back when I need any servicing, parts or an upgrade in the future.

Nissan Qashqai.

Went in to have a look at two cars that were ready for us to test drive, but saw a completely different car which Blake then prepared, ready for us to drive. Having decided to purchase, the help and support from Dan, were second to none. Very pleased with the service and would def recommend. Thankyou very much. Tony and Joe.

Top quality service, you must visit

My wife and I were blown away by the care and commitment Dan bestowed upon us! Very helpful, professional and patient. The car was immaculate inside and out. We would recommend anyone looking for a second hand car to definitely stop off here first!
Must mention Alex is also very polite and helpful.

Level of customer care is 'off the scale'

I have rarely experienced the level of customer care; attention to detail and professionalism I did with this company last week. It was well worth 2 train journeys from London to test drive and purchase the car, which was beautifully prepared.

First class customer service

Can't fault the customer service here, first class. I phoned with an enquiry said what I was looking for and why, they listened and acted on what I said - what more can you ask for? Alex has been super helpful before and weeks after the sale, so proper follow up customer service too, great experience, very professional and highly recommended.

Can’t fault a thing

Can’t fault a thing. Customer service is number 1. Dan Rooke is professional and extremely helpful. There were no pressure sales. Just good, informative service. I will certainly be going back next time I change my car.
