I picked up my car this afternoon and I am over the moon with it. The process has been brilliant from the first contact I made. I was even contacted by the employer dealing with my purchase on his day off to let me know I could collect the car sooner than originally arranged. Will definitely be using them again and will recommend to family and friends.

I saw an ad for a Duster on Autotrader…

I saw an ad for a Duster on Autotrader and replied to it, I mentioned Im deaf and to email me, so they replied saying please call us, which I thought was a little insensitive. So I followed up on their chat service, again they said please call us, 4 times they did this, so the next day I got an email saying hi please call us, so I gave in and called them, obviously it did not go well, its hard to have a conversation on a phone when you are deaf, so that was a waste of time, then I got an email saying "why dont you just go somewhere else" at that point I knew I was wasting my time. So in my experience Marshams are very rude, very offensive, and are blatant criminals. On their emails it says they have a tryst pilot score of 9.3 when its actually 4.8, so thats false advertising. If you read their privacy policy it says they abide by the data protection act 1998, so only 25 years out of date, which pretty much sums this company up. I suggest people stop buying from them until they can abide by the law of this country.

I’m sorry you feel your enquiry hasn’t been dealt with by our usual high standards.

I’ve read the emails between you and our salesman, to confirm there is absolutely no issue selling you a vehicle, if you are still in the market please let me know and I’d be happy dealing with you personally? The main issue was the viability of us picking you up from Swindon which is why Tyrone suggested to look more locally to avoid the distance you needed to travel. I’m keen to communicate with you further regarding this issue, can you let me know what preferred method of communication you’d like please?

Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Regards

Chris (Director)

Superb

Excellent all round. Marshams have found the sweet spot between traditional used car sellers (that can lack enthusiasm) and a modern feel without leaving you feeling like cattle (as some of the larger chains can)

Tyrone was excellent from start to finish in constructing a deal that got us the car we wanted at a fair price. Also worth me noting that the part exchange deal was straightforward and better value than I’d have expected straight off the bat.

Quick and efficient service

I’ve used Marshams several times over the years for all kinds of work on my 22 year old Mercedes A class and every time they have done an outstanding job. Everything from customer service (shoutout to Georgia) to the team of brillant technicians who all deliver great results very quickly. Would definitely recommend - An extremely helpful and accommodating team!!

Friendly efficient service

After having had my MOT's done here with my previous car for 12 years, I've now got a new car and didn't hesitate to try elsewhere for it's first MOT. Welcoming and efficient service. Liked the new addition of being texted when my car was ready to collect, instead of waiting for a call. Thank you.

Costly repair for fault which must have existed on purchase

This was a fault which must have existed when Marshams sold me the car in June 2022. It was only discovered when I tried to flatten down the rear seats. The rear seats had never been used or sat on since purchase. About 10 days ago I tried to flatten the rear seats. The passenger side rear seat mechanism didn't work. Marshams took the car in on 3rd of Feb 2023. They seem to have replaced a part at a price of £5.75 with a labour charge of £77.50 plus an environmental charge and VAT resulting in a cost to me of over £103
I can only suggest you check every single item on a car you purchase before paying.

Hi Dave,
We are disappointed that you are not happy with the repair cost of your vehicle. Unfortunately on this occasion we were unable to repair the vehicle for free as the vehicle was supplied 8 months ago and it was not possible to evidence when the failure had occurred.
I am sorry that on this occasion we have been unable to assist.
