Lambros Lefkaditis is the most lovely salesman I have ever met. He helped me get my finance which was a considerably hard task and he was so helpful and pushed for me to be accepted. Both Lambros and Ryan cole are amazing and I recommend going to the chelmsford branch if you want good service.

Ella Phillipou did a brilliant job explaining everything to me. She was very welcoming and accommodating, and took the time to address all my queries and concerns. She even walked me out to the car when I collected it, which was a really nice gesture. I’ve also seen many customer reviews praising her positive attitude, which doesn’t surprise me at all. She is a real credit to the team.

Ella in service is always so lovely and welcoming whenever I came in. She was always smiling and made me feel comfortable straight away. Over time she got to know me on a personal level, which made every visit feel so much more friendly and personal rather than just another customer experience. She was always happy to help and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. Such a lovely person and a real credit to the team!
