I'd recommend Beadles Toyota Medway to anyone because Adam went to great lengths to explain everything about the car, as we hadn't owned a hybrid before. He also went through all the paperwork, etc in detail. He took the time to make us feel comfortable with the vehicle before we drove it away. He was pleasant and courteous throughout.

Beadles Volkswagen Chelmsford staff were good because Jess was very patient dealing with me, I did give her the runaround a couple of times. Well worth the two hundred mile trip I was looked after so well. Thank you Jess

Mr John Chinn 29th July 2021 Beadles Volkswagen Chelmsford
The experience at Barons BMW Cambridge was good because I received friendly, professional and informed advice every step of the way. I was never under any pressure to purchase the device or any products and the whole experience was enjoyable and very relaxed. They answered my questions in a non-condescending way and accommodated my vehicle requests. I would definitely consider returning to them for my next vehicle. Please pass on my thanks to the dealership.
