This was my third time buying a car from James, and once again he was fantastic. He took the time to answers all my questions and made the whole process smooth and stress free. He is friendly, helpful and easy to deal with from start to finish. A big reason I keep coming back to Skoda Southend is James. Highly recommend James, cars from Skoda and the whole team.

We recently part exchanged our old Skoda for a new Skoda EV. Throughout our dealings with Group 1 the salesman Kieran Seago was friendly, approachable, and professional. He was very knowledgeable and able to communicate his knowledge of the products on offer easily. This is our third purchase from this company and we have no hesitation in recommending them.

I’ve just purchased my third Skoda Karoq through James Rain, and once again the experience has been excellent. James was friendly, professional and helpful throughout, making the whole process straightforward and stress-free. His knowledge and customer service are second to none. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James and Skoda to anyone looking to make a purchase.

We had a brilliant experience buying our new car from ŠKODA, and I particularly wanted to mention Gavin, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Nothing ever felt rushed or pressured or pushy, and Gavin was friendly, helpful and incredibly patient throughout the whole process. When we had a bit of a nightmare with some of the paperwork on collection day, he genuinely went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted and that we could finally drive away in our new car! He took the time to go through all of the documentation with us, helped us get the car set up properly and even helped us transfer our things from our part exchange into the new car. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making sure we were happy and comfortable with everything before we left. Buying a new car can sometimes feel quite overwhelming, especially with all the paperwork and everything there is to take in (with little ones in the mix too, it can be completely hectic), but Gavin made the whole experience so much easier. He was knowledgeable and approachable, which made such a difference. ŠKODA have been amazing throughout, and we are absolutely thrilled with our new car. Gavin was genuinely the best and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, it really meant the world to us! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service and explanation of the vehicle and buying process from Poppy. It made the whole experience a pleasure as was the collection process a few days later. A nice touch was receiving a brief video of our car ready for collection a few hours before picking it up.

Standards have dropped. Some of the booking staff are rude, and their mistake and backward procedures meant I was waiting on proceeds of a car sale for a month.
