“FANTASTIC AS EVER CUSTOMER SERVICE A**********”

★★★★★

written by Jane_Dent on 31/10/2015

Having purchased previous cars, three prior to this, we had no hesitation in returning to the CarShop Swindon. We were, as always, greeted by staff who are clearly passionate about what they do and are eager to please the customer. It took me three full days of test driving various cars and changing my mind more than once, the gentleman who served me was so patient and understanding, don't know how he managed it, thank you to him, you are a star. His knowledge of the vehicles being sold was amazing. Having read other reviews, I do not agree with the "hard sell" views that people have, we dealt with a guy who is a credit to the company and could not do enough to help, the after sales service was second to none and we will be returning once more when we change our car again. We ended up buying a car for our son too!!! The Manager clearly runs a tight ship where the priority is always customer satisfaction and the customer really does come first, thank you to him. No hesitation in recommending the CarShop Swindon to anyone. A fantastic team.

I purchased a car a couple of months ago, but it developed a fault. When I reported it I spoke to a lady that obviously knew her stuff. Everything was explained and got my car was fixed in 2 days and no cost to me. Thank you to that lady,

“Easy, welcoming and no pressure”

★★★★★

written by niksmiff1961 on 05/01/2015

If you need a car and don't really know what you want yet, why not pop over to CarShop in Swindon - dead easy to find, just up the road from the football ground = for an afternoon and look around? I vaguely knew what I wanted - a Citroen DS5 - and a hassle free no pressure look around there revealed a great car at a great price. You'll find that one sales associate takes you under their wing, but not so closely that it feels like they are humping your leg, and will let you look and touch and drive with no direct selling at all. I drove my new car back home within three hours of seeing it, thanks to the free 5 day insurance that CarShop provide, and the whole process was as quick and clean as my new car is. Highly recommended.

“Everything explained perfectly. Nothing hidden”

★★★★★

written by on 21/01/2014

My daughters recently purchased a car each on finance through the car shop in swindon. The salesmen where not pushy really knew their stuff and they got the exact car they where looking for.salesmen were polite and friendly and went out if their way to make it a happy experience. After all getting your 2nd car is a bit special. Paper work was explained warranty and gap insurance. Although a little time consuming, well it would be because we bought two cars. At least it was thoroughly explained. Professional guys would definately recommend to go there. Only little negative Is as a big showroom doors open one end , where people where test driving the cars in and out of showroom,which made the waiting area was really cold. So bring a warm coat although free tea and coffee as much as u could drink was a bonus . Thanks carshop all is great new cars are fantastic :)

“Quick and fast”

★★★★★

written by Tanya0309 on 17/01/2014

Needed a mid size car with Bluetooth, sat nav and parking sensors with a limited budget. The very helpful salesman wasn't pushy came up with 3 choices, 2 test drives later I picked the car I wanted and needed with the colour I liked. I liked the fact that I didn't have to go outside to look at cars. Everyone was very helpful and I would defiantly buy my next car from there again.

“Made buying a car easier than I thought .”

★★★★★

written by on 14/01/2014

Went to car Carshop Swindon even after hearing some bad things from work colleagues. True to what my friends had told me I was jumped on the minute I walked through the door . At this point I was thinking I had made a bad choice to go there after what I was told . However it wasn't all that bad . As some previous reviews say they do seem pushy but suppose they were only doing their job . I had a part exchange which was also a worry . I did everything the way the salesperson asked me and it seemed to take while but I suppose it would , it's not like I was buying my weekly supermarket shopping , which would probably take me the same amount of time (lol) . Anyway at the end if it all I didn't buy on the day but went back the following day and got the same deal , which was better than I was offered elsewhere . All in all I am happy with my purchase and would recommend . Well done and thanks Carshop .

“Smooth, easy transaction ......”

★★★★★

written by horsebox1 on 12/01/2014

I purchased an Audi A5 recently and part exchanged my car as part of the deal. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. My new car had to be picked up from Doncaster and I was delighted to be able to drive it off the forecourt the same day.I was given a fantastic finance deal and I was so pleased I recommended Carshop to two of my colleagues who also went onto purchase cars themselves from the Swindon Showroom. I also took advantage of their service plan which is brilliant because I don't have to pay out a lump sum every year. All in all, the whole process was great from start to finish. The staff were very polite, friendly and above anything else, professional.

“Upbeat, Professional business”

★★★★★

written by on 07/01/2014

I am like most people only tending to write negative reviews but after visiting the showroom in Swindon, I felt compelled to post a positive review! Yes I was met by a Sales guy, yes I was asked to 'share info' & yes I was asked if I wanted to buy the car, but this is what I expected! There were lots of cars but the sales guy showed me 3 that I liked on the computer & I took all 3 for a test drive! (Something I wasn't allowed to do at the garage round the corner!). I agreed to buy the Corsa, and paid a deposit. Went back that afternoon and collected the car! (I had to wait longer to pick up a microwave). Very pleasant team of people & a really enjoyable purchasing experience considering I was a female on my own! Only downside was that it was a bit cold in the showroom! Will recommend & visit again!

“Excellent!”

★★★★★

written by sjb11 on 12/11/2013

My carshop experience was first class, our salesman was very helpful and not at all pushy, professional but also easy to have a laugh with at the same time. Every member of staff we came across helped us out in anyway they could and I was able to drive away my new car within an hour of purchasing which was great. I would highly recommend the carshop to everyone and will definatly be visiting when i'm looking to buy another car in the future, thankyou very much!

“Excellent Professional Experience”

★★★★★

written by on 06/11/2013

I had read mixed reviews but I had the most professional experience from start to finish and would highly recommend the Car Shop Swindon. I pre-telephoned to make a Saturday morning appointment advising I had only a couple of hours . Duly arriving I was whisked into the main reception area and was greeted by a most professional " Not Pushy Salesman " who quickly explained the Process " I chose 3 Cars to View and within 15 Minutes these Vehicles had been presented into the Viewing Area I was left alone for me to fully inspect the vehicles without any hassle , Chose the vehicle I wanted and off we went for a test Drive , agreed I wanted the said vehicle a Corsa 1.3 CDti we returned to the showroom I was introduced to the finance manager again a most professional person and and at no time did I feel harassed or pressured ( I was very concerned that I wouldn't be able to obtain Finance ) The Finance manager explained everything we filled in the application forms and he explained that he would be back to me Monday ( noon ) when he started work again I think it was around 12.15 when I received the call to say the Finance was In place. I returned a couple of days later completed the paperwork and collected the car ( again this process only took about half an hour ) . I have had the vehicle for about 3 weeks now an excellent choice I would like to thank the Car Shop Swindon and all the Staff for the exception Professional service during the whole process from start to finish and I would highly recommend the Car Shop Swindon. Advice ; View Vehicles online first to narrow down your choice , make an appointment , Ensure you have all your documentation with you and everything should run smoothly

“Excellent service, would recommend!! ”

★★★★★

written by Butlert90 on 11/10/2013

Originally went in just to have a look at cars, see what's about and maybe in the future come back and have a look into buying one. We were greeted, very friendly, and them sat down to discuss what we were aiming to look at, if we wanted any tea or coffee. The man who helped us was tremendous! Friendly, down to earth, wasn't interested in ripping us off like some car dealerships, you hear of. Was only interested in ensuring we get the car we want. And boy we did! We gave a simple budget plan, and specification of car we would like and immediately he knew of two cars they had available to drive away that same day. It was a very simple transition from choosing the car to going through to do all the paper work with another gentleman who was very courteous, helpful and witty, it's refreshing to have people like this who legitametly love their job and just enjoy meeting new people. The paperwork stage was very thorough and was made crystal clear from point to point. We were able to drive away a couple of hours later. Fantastic service, easy and stress free. Would recommend to many and more. Quick note to Jurgen our sales person, great bloke!

“Excellent Experience”

★★★★★

written by JCripps on 08/09/2013

We had spent two days prior to discovering the car shop trawling all the main dealers of cars trying to get a good price on a used 4wd car. We were part exchanging two cars and had not been offered a fair price and once dealer was down right obnoxious. The staff we dealt with all the way through the process were helpful, knowledgeable and not pushy in anyway. Particular mention to our sales consultant who was excellent. The car we bought was great value for money (£2k less than a lower spec model we viewed in a main dealer)and we got an excellent and fair price on our part exchanges. The whole process took around three and a half hours, including test drive, appraisal of our cars and documentation (there was no shortage of tea and coffee while we were waiting ), and we drove away in our purchase that day. Certainly less hassle and haggling then selling or buying privately/from main dealer. Will use again.

“My Experience.....”

★★★★★

written by Jay0007 on 16/07/2013

My CarShop Swindon experience from start to finish by Jay. We purchased a BMW 320d Touring Special edition (11 plate) 1.) Sales Experience = 10/10 Thanks to Wayne Hillier & Trevor Hamley Both very professional and helpful. They make a great team. Very polite and good product knowledge. Special thanks to Wayne, you are a great Sales Consultant. 2.) Payment = 9/10 This was with the Business Specialist Marc Adair Once we had decided to buy the car we were taken to see Marc. He explained the options we could buy which was fine. I explained that as I had already gone over my budget I had no more money to buy the extras. He said to me that “that is your problem not mine” I found that this attitude was unnecessary and found him to be rude. He must have had a bad day. But still no way to talk to a customer. I paid my deposit and left. I had to see Marc a few days later to pay the balance and collect the paperwork so that I could tax my car. On this visit Marc was a wonderful and helpful person. If only he was like that from the start. He was well organised and had all the paperwork ready. Thank you Marc. 3.) Collection = 10/10 I collected my car a day earlier then initially planned as it was ready. My collection consultant was Jamie. He was very helpful and organised. However, quality of the work done on the car (windscreen chip and minor body panel stone damage repair) was very poor. I was not happy, but was informed that that was the best that could be done. 4.) After Sales, Customer Experience Department A week later the screen stone chip repair had started to disintegrate and the repair to the body panel had come out. I contacted customer services and spoke to Adam. Very understanding and booked the car in for repair. On the day of repair both Adam and George were very helpful in getting the problem resolved. Thank you. Overall - I am extremely happy with my car. The service I experienced was of a high standard. If you are looking for a car and based on my experience I recommend a visit to Swindon Carshop. I suggest you have a look on their internet site in advance of your visit. Make sure that you check your selected car as much as possible before you decide to buy. Good Luck !!!

“BMW 1 Series”

★★★★★

written by JSealey on 14/07/2013

Was only going in for a quick look round but after being shown a different selection of cars i found one that i really liked the look of. They have a fantastic wide selection of cars within the shop so i had plenty to choose from. I have only ever bought cars from friends or independent sellers so it was a real shock to have so many helpful people help me in choosing the right car for me. Would definitely recommend anyone else to go and have a look around the car shop as you may end up like me and see something you just have to buy.

“Fantastic service here”

★★★★★

written by marsh1831 on 22/06/2013

From arrival to finish we had great service. The gentlemen went out of their way to help you and Trevor H the manager was very good. The car we wanted had only come in the day we got there so had not been valeted when we test drove it and they kept appologising for this but we weren't worried, we advised them how much we wanted to spend and they kept to this for us.. We were kept informed on the whole process and only had to chase up on news a couple of times but thats because I wanted everything like yesterday. My husband was away with work so I was very happy with the service from the guys and would deffinately go back all the staff are friendly and greet you like a long lost friend.
