Calvin and Kane made the purchase of my 2nd van from Anchor stress free.
The hardest part was deciding which van to buy from their huge stock.
Documents all arrived digitally and signed online, and the van delivered the next day.
Van spotless and ready to go straight to work.

A huge thank you to Calvin McLellan
A huge thank you to Calvin McLellan for all the help with my new van. I’d spent a long time looking for the right one and had plenty of questions, but he was patient, knowledgeable and always happy to help. He made the whole experience enjoyable rather than stressful. I drove away feeling confident I’d made the right choice. Top bloke and top service.

Live a long way from anchor vans so I relied on a video sent by Calvin including a description so I didn’t waste my time as I have in the past by different dealerships.
Pleased to say the van was exactly as described and I am very pleased with it.
Calvin was very helpful on the day and I have since been in touch with Myles with some admin I needed taking care of and he took care of it immediately,
Overall great experience and would highly recommend.
Thanks guys.

Made van shopping a breeze
I was amazed at how many vans there were to choose from when I visited! I was a bit overwhelmed with trying to find one after looking online and other places for quite a while. I needed one that would suit my business needs and in my price range. The salesman Steve with the beard at Anchor vans really helped me and talked me through the options and the process so I’m happy I’ve now made the right choice. Thanks so much :-)
