A garage you can trust that go above and beyond to help you at every single step. Having Hollie as the service advisor makes a massive difference to the experience. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of servicing and maintenance and certainly deserves recognition for the way she handles everything. The Mot tester was a gentleman aswell and definetly knows his stuff. I travel nearly 2 hours to use this garage as I feel no one can compete with them. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you and I will definetly be back. 😀

5 stars is not enough
5 stars is not enough. Absolutely outstanding customer service by the lady and gentlemen on the front desk. Hollie and Simon I think they were called. Really friendly, knowledgeable and polite. I do not usually speak to people much but these had something about them. Had a nice conversation. Got things that I required done. Went out of their way to grab my son's car seat from their technician premises which is offsite down the road. Best dealership I've ever been to. I was offered a coffee dropping the car off and picking it up. Gave me a loan car whilst mine was getting repaired. Technician Anthony was also spot on! 10/10 Ian

It’s fantastic to know that Hollie and Simon made such a positive impression with their friendly, knowledgeable, and polite approach — and that they took the time to have a meaningful conversation with you. We’re especially pleased they went the extra mile to retrieve your son’s car seat — that’s a brilliant example of the level of care we strive to deliver.
We’re also glad you enjoyed the added touches like the coffee, courtesy car, and smooth repair experience. Anthony will be thrilled to hear your kind words as well — it’s great to know he was spot on!
Your comments really mean a lot to us, and we’re proud to have made your visit the best dealership experience you’ve had.

Purchased my new Arona thorough Autotrader and the car was delivered to my door and the PX driven away. Vertu were a pleasure and profesional to deal with. So i did not see the car until it arrived. I am a fussy person about cars and this one is spot on and a credit to the vertu team

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We’re delighted to hear that your purchase of the Arona through Autotrader went so smoothly, and that the home delivery and part exchange process worked seamlessly for you. Buying a car without seeing it in person can be a big step, so it’s especially pleasing to know it met your expectations so perfectly.
It’s fantastic to hear you found the car spot on — particularly as someone who is understandably particular about cars — and that the overall experience reflects well on the team.
Thank you again for your kind words and support. We hope you’re enjoying your new Arona and look forward to welcoming you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Keith

Had the most wonderful experience here. Not a fault in sight. All the staff were more than accommodating and extremely welcoming from the moment we stepped in the show room. Chris - our salesman was 10/10, from start to finish. His service and dedication was absolutely amazing.
So pleased to have chose such a lovely car from such a lovely bunch of people!

World class customer service
I have been over the moon with the customer service and genuine care I receive from Damion at Seat Vertu Carlisle. He was genuinely interested in finding me a solution. I had complex needs and he explored many solutions before we found the perfect one. He explained everything clearly.
After I put deposit on car my previous car broke down and died on the way home and I was towed away. To my absolute astonishment Damion called me the following day to offer me a very flash courtesy car. It was very kind and made a huge difference during the time between deposit and getting the car which was coming from Derby.
When I went to collect the new car he showed me how it all worked. I discovered they'd given me a new tyre, new mats in the car and even a new charging cable, nice touch. From the very start the service has been exceptional and I will be returning and recommending.

Hi Kirsty,
Thank you so much for your incredible 5‑star review. We’re absolutely delighted to hear how well you were looked after by Damion and the team at SEAT Vertu Carlisle.
It’s wonderful to know that Damion took the time to understand your needs, explore multiple solutions, and explain everything clearly. Your situation sounded challenging, so we’re especially pleased that he went above and beyond — from helping you find the perfect car to offering a courtesy vehicle when your previous one unexpectedly broke down. Acts of care like that truly reflect the customer‑first approach we strive for.
We’re also thrilled that the thoughtful touches, such as the new tyre, mats and charging cable, made collecting your new car an even better experience. It’s fantastic to hear you’re so happy with both the service and your new vehicle.
Thank you again for sharing such detailed and heartfelt feedback. We really appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.
Kind regards,
Liza

Considering the car I wanted to buy was a Toyota, not a Seat, and at a branch on the east coast, the service and attention I got was first class.
The car was delivered to my door in Southern Scotland.

Having recently retired from being in sales for nearly 40 years I’ve earned all the T Shirts! So when someone is selling something to me all I look for is the same customer service I would have given myself.
And luckily my sales advisor Damion at Vertu Seat Carlisle ticked all the boxes.
Friendly, knowledgeable & in no way pushy he was a pleasure to deal with & a credit to the company.

Great deal, lovely people to buy from
Bought a Cupra Tavascan from them.
Great deal, great people, genuinely customer focussed. So refreshing to buy from a dealer that is equally attentive both before and after the deal is done. They simply could not do any more to make the experience any better. Definitely worth a look if you value great customer service as much as we do…..but great customer service with a great deal? Even better!

Great team, went to Vertu Seat and met Alicia, very professional and kind. Visited to talk about a car I had seen on the website and left having purchased it. Absolutely nothing to fault on the team here, kept me updated with progress on the car and had me driving within a week.
