Rosa made it easy.

£22k list and they knocked a bit off without me even haggling, respect. idk what I was worried about, the whole trade-in took under an hour. Trade-in came in at $4,900 which was honestly better than the two quotes I got elsewhere.

10k service took forever

the quoted tyres were highway robbery, I shopped around after and found better. Still gave two stars for Sal though.

Drove off happy.

took it for a Saturday test drive and i havent felt that relaxed buying a car before. Marco knew every spec on the lot and didn't bluff once when I asked a weird question.

Mint, honestly mint, no faults. Sal walked me through alot of the options and never once made me feel dumb for asking. Ben at the desk talked me through everything without pushing extras and I walked out with keys and a grin.

Wow.

The 10k service was $89 and they topped up the washer fluid, dont see that often. mid-November test drive turned into me buying the thing, didn't even plan it. Elena stayed late for me, absolute legend.

10/10 no notes.

The dealer gave me real coffee and a proper chair during the wait, small things matter.

Trash.

Lior swore the brakes were solid and they definately weren't. Ben at the desk recieved my deposit the same hour I signed and chasing him for the refund has been a month of voicemail.

£650 brakes? ugh

Honestly didn't hate it. The car runs fine, the people are hit or miss depending on who you get. Pip was great, the service bay wasn't. Got the oil change done but they forgot to reset the light. definately a step up from the last place I used, but still not perfect by a long shot.

Lemon with a warranty

The deposit cleared in minutes and the refund has been 'processing' since a cold morning in March. I asked for the service history and got a photocopy with half the pages missing. The service desk kept pushing an inspection i'd already paid for last visit.
