It’s not just about the cars – it’s about people
What makes us different from the average used car dealer in Gosport? I think it’s the personal touch. That’s not just a phrase – it’s part of how we work.
One customer, Ceridwen Williams, said:
“These guys are honest, helpful, and straight up lovely! They even gave me flowers and wine as a thank you.”
Another, Paul Langridge, described us as:
“Two gentlemen who made it a great experience… no high pressure sales, just sensible explanations and care. A bottle of red, flowers, and even tea and biscuits through the post!”
And it’s not just about the sale. If something does go wrong (as can happen with any used car), we deal with it. Quickly, fairly, and without the usual runaround.
As Nikki T wrote:
“They were extremely accommodating when I had a warranty issue. Payment was sorted within days. Can’t recommend them enough.”
