Testimonials

I recently bought a car off Simon and Dave and I’m really happy with it! Both of the guys were really helpful when looking at the cars and felt no pressure from them at all. They are very reliable and would definitely recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience at Cardiffcity. They were really friendly and knowledgeable and made the process easy and stress free. Car was a great price and in good condition. Especially the boss renewed a flash MOT before selling to us. They couldn’t have been more helpful.

The car suited my needs, was priced appropriately, and was just as described. It’s superb to support an independent team, David and Simon were courteous and non pushy and personally delivered it to my house. Nice blokes, good service. Thumbs up emoji!

I was treated respectfully when I test drove the car and happy with the part exchange offered to me
The car was ready for collection at the agreed time and day
One of the directors was an ex employee of the car maker, he spent a good few minutes going through the various controls of the vehicle, which I was unfamiliar with with me, I really appreciated this.
All in a ll I am well pleased with the car and the way I was treated
I would certainly recommend Cardiff City Used Cars
