I had come back to Sinclair Cardiff due to the good experience I had had with my last car. This time it was better again From the lovely Lady manning the phones and organising the customers to the very friendly car salesmen… I need to say that I’m suffering the recent loss of my Wonderful Wife ..and was worried about organising and all that goes with buying a new car. I met Babs Ali who helped me and made my experience in buying a new car so good . Babs knowing my circumstances went way above to help in every way. The coffee was good too! Must mention Grant ( Service Manager ) who was very Kind to my Daughters and I who also helped. Looking forward to going back to Sinclair Cardiff, Babs to take care of a small problem with my new car.. Thank You All for making me feel like one of the Family. Robert Rowlands

My experience with Alex in Sinclair VW Cardiff

I recently collected my brand new Polo R-Line on Saturday, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience—thanks in large part to Alex, the salesman who looked after me throughout the process.

From the moment I arrived, Alex was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. He took the time to walk me through every detail of the car, making sure I was comfortable and confident before driving away. His knowledge of the Polo R-Line was impressive, and he answered all my questions with patience and clarity.

What really stood out was Alex’s attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm. He made the whole experience feel special—from the way he presented the car to how smooth and stress-free the paperwork was. It’s clear he takes pride in delivering great customer service.

I would highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to buy a new vehicle. He made the day memorable and ensured I left feeling excited and fully informed.

Thanks again, Alex!

An Old Man’s Tale

After 40 years driving Golfs & Polos, choosing a different make for what would probably be my last car seemed like a good idea. But after trying others, I ended up back at Sinclair where the sales rep, Martina could not have been more helpful, explaining engine differences, arranging drives in 3 cars and generating a list of possible vehicles. In the end, another Polo was chosen and all the paperwork and other transactional details were handled very proficiently by her, including swift responses to email queries. All told, a very satisfied customer continuing his VW journey

BEWRE

BEWARE!! Cardiff Sinclair van centre is a complete waste of time their not interested in doing any warranty work, The service manager is only interested in in charging £138 for a 10 second diagnostic fee. They Tampered with my battery and fuse box which wasn’t put back correctly all left open and not put back correctly.
They make a video then make things up for you to spend money, all the warranty issues are not dealt with I’d love to take these people to court as their reviews are embarrassing and are completely out to rip customers off.

Bought a second hand car from Sinclair Volkswagen Cardiff, they made buying a new car easy from the first test drive through the whole process until it was time to pick up the car which was very quick. Martina handled the exchange and communicated well letting me know the next step each time, would definitely recommend buying a car with this company.

Excellent Service and Support


I recently purchased a VW T-Cross from Sinclair Volkswagen Cardiff, and the whole experience was outstanding. From start to finish, the service was professional, smooth, and genuinely customer-focused.

A special thank you to Mr. Babs, who was an excellent sales officer. He was incredibly helpful, patient, and knowledgeable, making sure I understood all the features of the car and the options available to me. He made the process easy and stress-free, and I truly appreciated his honest and friendly approach.

The T-Cross was exactly as described, in great condition, and ready for collection as promised. Everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail.

I highly recommend Sinclair Cardiff and especially Mr. Babs to anyone looking to buy a vehicle. I’m very happy with my purchase and the experience overall.

Bab sales vw cardiff

Recently made a purchase from Bab, I can’t believe how smooth he made the process. I have dealt with other garages on many occasions and had so many problems so I was so nervous, however he reassured me and made it such an easy and smooth process. I can’t thank him and his manager Amy enough for all the help getting me my dream car. I highly recommend and encourage people to go to him if you are thinking of purchasing.

Thanks!
