My experience at Chelmsford Audi was memorable because Gary went out of his way to ensure I was completely happy. So much so, knowing I wasn’t sold on the car I had booked to view, he allowed me to see a car that wasn’t quite ready, which I ended up purchasing. All my concerns were met, without question or veiled impatience. Gary came across as someone genuinely wanting to please and not just make a sale. He is rare in the car trade and deserves a bonus.

I'd recommend Beadles Land Rover Sidcup to a friend because the sales team treated me with respect regardless of the fact I wasn’t using their finance option. Something I didn’t get at the Hatfield branch who chose to sell my vehicle to someone else and also ignored my calls.
