Testimonials

Bought a Hyundai I10 car last September as a first car for my son who had just passed his test. Pleasure to deal with, I was nervous as the MOT was due in a month and they put a new MOT on the car and rectified some issues highlighted. My son loves the car and we are very happy with the professional service and advice provided.

Recently bought a car from Simon and the whole process was very easy and professional. He took time explaining everything about the car and was very friendly. He didn’t pressure or push for us to buy the car and the experience felt very relaxed. Simon was quick to help us when we had issues with the logbook arriving. Would definitely recommend buying from them!
