I sold my Mini Countryman last week to SMR which still had finance owed on it. Andy made the whole process really stress free and smooth. I couldn’t rate this company enough. They handled everything very efficiently and provided me with all the relevant information I needed for peace of mind. I had documents to prove the money had been settled instantly. They are very trustworthy and I would use them again!

This is my first car selling experience, & it was actually far easier than I anticipated.
SMR kept in contact through the whole process & were helpful when I had minor queries regarding the sale.. even via tx msg.
They arrived on time to collect my car & the money was transferred immediately.
All paperwork was organised.
Thankyou for all your help
This should be your First Choice!
This is the first time I’d ever sold a car this way.
I can honestly say that the whole experience, from beginning to end was very easy and efficient.
I dealt with Andy and Sean, finding both chaps to be friendly, honest and professional. Everything was clearly explained and ran like clockwork.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again, or recommend them to others.
Great company - highly recommended
I recently sold my BMW 5 series to SMR. Andy and the team were fantastic and professional throughout the whole process - from initial contact through to collection and payment. Andy was honest, clear and transparent. His offer was fair and he was open to reasonable negotiation. He communicated clearly throughout and was really clear about what the steps were and how it would all work. The paperwork and collection and payment process ran like clockwork. A lovely guy turned up to collect/inspect the car and there was no haggling or attempts to change the price we'd agreed. I'd happily use them again to source or sell a vehicle.
Very good experience with Andy and SMR
Very good experience with Andy and SMR. They are a genuine small company who offer a reliable and quick turnaround on your car.

Fabulous! So easy to deal with. Great communication, good price, arrived on time to collect the car, payments made on the day, couldn’t fault the process or service. Highly recommend and would use again.
Sold my Van to SMR Direct
Sold my Van to SMR Direct, from the very start of communication the service has been first rate. Paid a fair price and was extremely helpful. Sent a very nice man to collect the van and monies transferred immediately via online banking. These are 100% a trustworthy company. Would highly recommend. Dealt with Andy who’s also a nice chap.

Very impressed with SMR Direct as a dealer. I sold my Focus ST to them. Even though it belonged to my elderly father Andy was extremely accommodating on how to prove association and compete the purchase with myself. Agreed an excellent price over the phone and when they collected there was no haggling as you get with many famous companies. Very efficient. Will use them again!!

I sold my car to SMR
I sold my car to SMR, I delt with Andy, he was very polite, always responded to communications quickly, and was extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend using their services.
The whole experience was quick and efficient, I had my payment instantly and the collection driver, Al, made sure I was happy before he left.
Brilliant from the first interaction
Right from the first interaction to the last moment I found SMR Direct very professional. I had zero issues from the quote offer to the payment or collection of the car. I would happily use again without question.

Sold Skoda Karoq - Really Great Service
I had never sold a car before and I had a tight deadline to get it sold in order to get a new car. Andy gave me a great service and talked me through every step really well. I got a great deal and would highly recommend.
An excellent selling experience
I advertise my car on autotrader to see if I could do better privately than the PX offered by the dealer. I was a bit dubious when I had a call from someone in the trade but I was impressed by the SMRs approach and the offer was agreeably better than the PX with the benefit of no tyre kickers. The process of selling the car was very good and when it came to collection there was no attempt to reduce the price for minor things - my autotrader advert had photos showing the few scratches and dints etc (general wear and tear for a 3y old car) so there were no surprises for them. The money was paid into my account before Chris (a very friendly chap) drove off with it. Very happy and I’d definitely use them again.
