Anchor were absolutely amazing
Anchor were absolutely amazing. I was due to have my van delivered Saturday so I called them Friday but they informed me some parts had not arrived. I informed them I really need the vehicle for work Monday. They went the extra mile and managed to still deliver the van the next day. Everyone was so helpful from sales to delivery. Incredible company well pleased with my van. And a great price. Will only be buying from anchor from now on.

Kane the main man
I would like to thank Kane at anchor for his excellent service and patience. We travelled last minute from London and arrive around 4.30pm. We had a few issues with paperwork but he stayed late to make my wife the happiest woman in the world as she now has her dream car. I just hope he didn’t get in too much trouble with his partner for being late
