I'd recommend Beadles Volkswagen Romford to anyone because of the high level of service. The deal was done extremely efficiently and I felt I got great value for money. Rajah is an exceptional member of your team.

Mr Charlie Barrett 11th April 2021 Beadles Volkswagen Romford
I'd recommend Southend Audi to a friend because good all round experience be it sale suitability, preparing you to purchase, providing all options, patient and considerate after sales response / resolution to query / complaints

Mr Varghese 11th April 2021 Southend Audi

Jenny Hoare 11th April 2021 Chandlers MINI Worthing
I'd recommend Beadles Volkswagen Romford to anyone because staff are caring and always seek to meet customers demands

Dr Francis Akor 11th April 2021 Beadles Volkswagen Romford
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.

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.

My experience at Mercedes of Peterborough was cracking because it was completely thorough, professional & friendly.

Miss Gintare Kirsnskaite 11th April 2021 Mercedes of Peterborough
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.

Read More 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

Read More 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.

Mr Hill 10th April 2021 Barons BMW Cambridge
I was pleased with Think Ford Wokingham and would recommend them because they were very helpful Barry Hudson did a great job explaining everything to me and was helpful thanks Barry

Mr Brian Lawes 10th April 2021 Think Ford Wokingham
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.
