Top notch service

Cracking experience with the lads at SJ specialist. Customer service was top tier explained everything so I could easily understand it. Had no issues and make it so easy to get in contact with when I need. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Dont bother

Dont bother, Bought a £23.000 car off these people on the 21 November 23, with 41.000 miles on the clock, six months later on the 23rd May 2024, the car suddenly stopped no lights or warning got it taken to a garage, they reckon the crank has spun ? Still waiting for my garage to properly diagnose problem it is now the 28th of September 24, I have no car and am probably going to end up paying £8000 for a new engine if one can be sourced, and am still paying the finance. Contacted this garage but no help, they have washed there hands of it.

Absolutely cracking dealer

Absolutely cracking dealer. Informative, knowledgeable and very genuine people. Rich was by far the best car dealer I've dealt with. Gave honest opinions and got the work carried out to high standards. Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend anyone buying or selling from these.

I was planning to use again

I was planning to use again, however I wont. I bought a car ( Fiat Punto ) with a warranty, for months a belt has been screaming, I have been to multiple garages and they all refuse to help with a warranty. So i went to the place who sold me one, which has a repair shop. The sales man whom I cant fault was not in, the mechanic was and lied and said there is nothing wrong with my car, its an intermittent noise, but i have a recording. He then lies to me and said this is normal and gave me the old computer says no. I explained they sold me the warranty and he was not interested and told me i can use it anywhere which I cant. I should not have sworn but understandably I did, we are round a corner from witnesses and he started clenching a fist in a threatening manour, telling me how angry he was, so when I stood up to him and I understandably almost punched ( I didn't I left before I did something I could not take back, the man was not worth the sentence ) him all his pals came out making me look like the bad guy. I have now booked my car into another shop and will have to pay for a repair, bottom line is these guys were not into honouring the warranty. I will be sending them the bill. I was advised I did the right thing by not driving the car anymore. I will also contact momentum warranty's and let them know about their suppliers condut.

Shocking shocking shocking

Shocking shocking shocking,

Let me put this out there with all honesty.

Purchased a 15 thousand pound motor BMW M5 from an auction site and surprisingly enough the engine was completely gone and required a rebuild was knocking. However upon finding the guys at SJS specialist and a very good relationship with Copart ‘Wolverhampton’ and managed to sweeten them up in order to put the car through auction as a ‘run and drive’ vehicle

Absolutely appalling especially when your hard work money and savings over 10 years have gone into a broken car all because of dishonesty!

Now I have to suffer and have been suffering the past few years with trauma as this has affected my family which I do not want to further talk about.

Think twice before you purchase a car from people like this !

Excellent Company

Excellent to deal with start to finish. Upon my initial contact on behalf of my mother in law via Autotrader the team at SJ Performance were quick to respond. They were very helpful and made the transaction very easy. I flew down to collect the car from Aberdeen, the car was as described and even nicer than the photos in person. The drive back to Aberdeen (360 miles) was a dream. The team were true to their word in everything that was agreed. I would definitely recommend them. This is the first car we have purchased and it won’t be the last car, I would have no hesitation travelling the distance again as any car purchased will be a great one. Thanks again 👍🏻

Good honest car dealer

Brought a Golf R from Scott and his team and was a great car, year later I was done with it and they were happy to buy it back The experience and service was excellent. There’s no pushy salesman tactics and the whole process from start to finish was smooth. Good honest car dealer, would definitely use them again. Always have a lovely selection of cars in stock!

I’ve been using sj specialist cars for…

I’ve been using sj specialist cars for the best part of 4 years now and I can honestly say from the 1st ever car I brought from Scott it was 1st class service! Any questions or queries I had he didn’t once hesitate to answer it, its a 3 hour drive for me and I don’t look anywhere else to buy a car, he’s a genuine guy and not many traders you can trust but with Scott he has become a friend. If I have ever had a problem with a car (not often but cars are mechanical) he has sorted it out straight away without any hesitation. I have now had well I’ve lost count but probably 10 cars off Scott (high Enders, rs7s,svrs etc..) plus also put friends and family his way and they have all had the same treatment, I can’t recommend sj enough, their a great outfit sell awesome vehicles and a dealer you can trust.

10/10 in every regard

I have used sj for years and I've had quite a few cars from scott. Him and his team are brilliant at what they do, the knowledge and support these guys offer is second to none. It's a totall pleasure to buy from this guy and he's always got time to explain and talk you threw any queries or concerns. As far as standard's go these guy's have the highest. It's always a pleasure hope to see you soon.
