I'd definitely recommend Beadles Volkswagen Chelmsford to friends and family because overall we were treated with respect and were given answers to our questions openly and where our salesperson was unsure, he went away to check. We were trusted to take the car we had identified as available for a test drive on our own; we discussed the state of the interior of this - we we reassured it would be made as clean as possible. We then looked at another car in the same price bracket and were advised it was exactly the same spec, but diff colour and better quality interior . We went with this one. Garry was very supportive and has been eager to help with any after sales queries too.

My experience at Stansted Audi was positive because Alan was very experienced and knowledgeable about all aspects of Audi and that gave me confidence in buying the A3. I had previously got a Q3 from Audi in Lowestoft and felt they were very pushy and as I was a woman by myself bought a car I was not sure about. Alan helped me no end getting a good deal on my exchange as I had only had the Q3 for less than 2 weeks. I felt a lot happier with the A3 as the Q3 had changed shape and was such to big for me. Alan was not trying to sell the car to me he just gave me the information and let me decide. The chap Reece who sold me the Q3 at Lowestoft had only been there 2 months and Alan was much better had his job as he had been there a long time and knew his stuff. I am really happy with my white A3 sline it has everything I want and drives lovely - it feels fun and sporty so Thankyou Alan for all your help and I had to pay a little bit extra towards this car but it has the sound and comfort pack on it and full leather inside I am glad I got another sline as I had one before on my black Q3 and a better model. All in all happy I did scrap my alloys the other day but that’s women drivers! So far very economical on petrol and Alan filled my car up with petrol as part of the deal due to my bad experience at Lowestoft. VE Ty happy now only thing I did not get was the first aid and breakdown packs in the back of the boot which I had mentioned about but did not look for while I was there. All in all a good device and happy customer

The experience at Beadles Land Rover Sidcup was good because Richard the sales person was very helpful through the purchase of the Land Rover. He explained in great detail every aspect of the negociation and must be considered an asset to your company.

My experience at Beadles Volkswagen Southend was memorable because we had a few issues that needed resolving that could have been stressful but the Beadles dealt with really quickly. Everything they promised was delivered; I'm really pleased with the outcome.
