Popped in to check out the electric mini options and within a week I drove away with the cutest and coolest car! Paul and Reece were super helpful, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and are a refreshing change to the usual bland buying experienced in so many dealerships. This is my 2nd mini after having a few years since my first, the swap to full ev could have been daunting, not with Paul, he made it simples !

I recently purchased a new car and had the absolute pleasure of working with Paul throughout the entire process. From start to finish, he made the experience seamless, stress-free, and genuinely enjoyable. Paul was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and patient. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and helped me find the perfect vehicle. What really stood out was Paul’s dedication to customer satisfaction—he went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly and that I drove away completely happy with my purchase. If you’re looking for a new car and want to work with someone who truly puts the customer first, I highly recommend reaching out to Paul. I couldn’t be more thrilled with both my new car and the outstanding service I received. Thank you, Paul!

Visited the Colchester branch of Mini just to take a look at an electric mini. Didn’t really have the intention of buying one. However Tamara was so helpful and explained everything about the electric mini they had in stock we left buying a mini 😃 Tamara went above and beyond with her customer service. Knowledgeable and friendly. Tamara is certainly an asset to Mini. 😃Thank you.

Went to sell my car and already talked to them on the phone and gave them all the details. They looked at the mot while I was on the phone which had only been done around a week earlier. They looked round the car when I brought it in then came back and told me I lied about the mileage on the car even though they would have seen this on the MOT as well as me having told them the correct mileage. The mileage they stated was half of what the car had and something I couldn’t lie about as this is pretty visible when selling a car. I wouldn’t ever go back to this branch and would actually drive further to avoid it. They have lost any future sales from me as I was potentially looking at getting another mini in the future. I would tell anyone to avoid going here if you don’t want to be messed around

We’ve just upgraded my fourth Mini with Colchester Mini. We’ve been coming here now for the past 7 years. Always great friendly service and hospitality is above beyond. Tamara & Rhys have been amazing today with looking after my husband and I with search for a new car and taking the time to talk us through the process. So pleased with the final outcome with our new mini. Love coming here. Keep up the good work guys x
