I would recommend Barons BMW Farnborough to friends and family because of the service I experienced from,1st enquiring about and then going through to purchasing, one of your used BMW’s. This experience was first class, from start to finish, this I would say was solely down to Tom Dodd who I happened to deal with, very Charming, friendly and efficient, a credit to your team.
Jeremy Clements 11th April 2021 Barons BMW Farnborough

When purchasing the car, the hospitality was great but after the sale, very quickly we understood they didn't want to deal with the two issues we had. I would not recommend Beadles Land Rover North West London because after the sale of the car, none of my calls were returned, was promised two callbacks by the manager which never happened, it took 3 emails for somebody to come back to me with a response, was sold the car without the back shelf which Southend Beadles dealt with and a mechanical issue after buying the car. Southend have been brilliant.
Mr James Walsh 11th April 2021 Beadles Land Rover North West London

I was pleased with Mercedes of Norwich and would recommend them because Everything was dealt with promptly and all was explained clearly and precisely. The salesman was not pushy but was approachable and professional. His attitude gave us confidence in his level of knowledge and willing ness to help.
Mr Tink 10th April 2021 Mercedes of Norwich

Mercedes of Peterborough were fantastic because Robert Clegg sent me a video presentation if the car I was interested in. This was a personalised video. He had good knowledge on the car and was very helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble. Excellent service from Mr Clegg
Mrs Sue Dixon 10th April 2021 Mercedes of Peterborough

I'd recommend Harold Wood Audi to a friend because the service was excellent from the beginning to the end. Mohammed Khan our sales executive was amazing, he was very patient with us, he explained everything that we felt was not clear to us. He had so much knowledge and expertise in his field of work and made us very easy for us to then decide what car what we wanted, and explained all the available choices to us. He was accommodating, had excellent communication skills and good customer service. Everyone we saw during our visits was welcoming and made us feel welcomed and valued customers.
Mrs Alice Kyei 10th April 2021 Harold Wood Audi

I'd definitely recommend Think Ford Farnborough because they provided an excellent customer focussed service; were knowledgeable about the options available; were friendly but not “pushy” and made sure I had all the information I needed in order to make my purchasing decision. Guy McKenna is an excellent ambassador for the group and I would highly commend him for the smooth and efficient sale process that took all the hassle out of part exchanging and buying a nearly new car through him.
Mr Stephen Eker 10th April 2021 Think Ford Farnborough
