Interested in buying a car from there Derby site but was completely dissatisfied with there response. I was willing to pay for a cash sale over £12,000 for the car ,however the extras they put on the sale £30 fuel and £190 road tax which should have been free of charge as a thank you for buying the car from them
Very poor sales pitch but not what you expected from large company, you should have expected much better service There is other car sales companies who offer a much better service.

Sorry to hear you were unhappy with our service. Road fund license and fuel is something that is chargeable on top of the price of the vehicle however we have no other fee’s. I know my sales manager was willing to help you out with those to complete a sale but I understand you were wanting extra discount on our already competitively priced vehicle that also had a further £500 reduction in our sale event. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you would like to discuss further. Thanks

Katie was a credit to your organisation. She was helpful, approachable, efficient and professional throughout the whole process of buying a used car through Vertu. She gave me plenty of time to ask questions and sought advice on servicing queries I had. I did not feel rushed or pressurised at any time. There was a good selection of used cars in my price range to look at.

Friendly staff who were able accommodate our wishes, explaining sufficiently to get us going.
The only disappointing aspect is the Drivers Handbook! Printed rather too small with pictures that are even smaller makes it very difficult to use. The fact that so much of what a user might require is on the digital handbook is laughable especially as it was unavailable when I tried to get on to it!
4/10 for the handbook, 10/10 for Vertu.
Perhaps if sufficient complain about the handbook something might be done to improve it. Please pass my comments on.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that our team was able to accommodate your wishes and make things easy for you—your kind words mean a lot to us.
We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the Drivers Handbook. We understand how important it is for this resource to be clear and accessible, and we’re sorry to hear that the print size and image quality made it difficult to use. We also acknowledge your frustration with the digital handbook being unavailable when you needed it.
Your comments have been passed on to the relevant team for review, as we are committed to improving this aspect of our service. Many thanks, Chloe

Saffron is fab!

Exchanged my beloved Peugeot for a more 'grown up' car, got fab service from Saffron, lots of reassurance due to the recent recalls, impartial advice and genuine interest and passion for her role. It was lovely to deal with her too. I didn't feel pushed into anything, felt I was in good hands and the aftercare has been pleasant too, as found the tyre inflator missing and had some questions. Trusting these are being rectified isn't too stressful, as built the trust.
Wouldn't hesitate to contact Citroen Derby in the future.

Avoid warranty at all costs

Purchased a vehicle from here, all fine to start, but the washer pump stopped working within 6 months, that's fine as they "gave" me a years warranty that I can take it to any vertu and they'll fix it. So booked in to my local vertu to save me over an hour driving back and forth to derby. Next appointment was a month away, took it in for the day and by the end of it they said they where unable to find the issue.... its the washer pump. So had to ring citroen derby and get booked in there. Another month wait as they didn't have earlier for a "free" loan car... That you still have to pay £20...anyway went to this appointment and dropped the car off all day, found the issue was the washer pump, but couldn't fix it as they don't have them. So had to book in again... Another month wait but this time didn't have a loan car so had to sit and wait. Finally got it fixed yesterday after a 3 month wait. The amount of times I was going to get a call back that day or tomorrow that never happened and I had to ring myself was in the dozens. To buy a car was fine but the warranty is a joke, just avoid it as it'll cost you way more in the long run.

Citron, Derby

I had the pleasure of dealing with the Citron dealership, a sales representative called Saffron and I could not have had a better experience. She helped me find my new car, listening to my needs and exceeding them. I cannot recommend this dealership, branch and sales representative more.
Thank you so much

What a wonderful car buying experience from start to finish! Citroen Derby is the place to go, but mainly because of the lovely Saffron who was the best 😊 She was so knowledgeable and answered all of my questions, no problem. Plus she is generally overall a lovely girl! Thank you so much for all of your help and we absolutely adore our new car 🚗 Also a big thank you to Ryan for managing to get our car mats, literally as we was going to walk out of the door and Mollie for being so professional. Thank you ❤️

A very helpful and personal experience.!

Scarlette was our "named advisor", she was very helpful in answering any questions. When it came to having to attach different paperwork and return them, both my husband and I are of an age where we were not brought up with computers, so found it difficult . Scarlett said to bring any documents in, and she took about 5 minutes to sort it out for us.! On the day we collected our new car, she said if there any issues re driving it, to come back to the garage, and she would take me out for a drive , to show me how a hybrid car was slightly different from our previous car. We managed to get home in one piece, and absolutely love our new car.!!
