I have bought three cars from this garage mondeo and two vectras the owners are fantastic the mechanics are brilliant very clever and hard workers they know things about all makes of cars better than main dealers they are not to expensive i only take my car to this garage to have any work done mot or service or any of the problems which do come along with any car they are always happy kind and respectful they are the best garage in the north east we'll done

After reviewing several used VW Passat. I finally decided one from Pat Lavery, the buying experience was a pleasure. The reception was great. I will used this dealership again.

a lovely choice of used cars without the sales patter. afters sales is second to none. no quibbles, nothing! a fantastic bunch of lads who seem dedicated to their work. what more could you ask for?

I visited this seller after spending time looking for a suitable replacement vehicle. I called ahead to make sure the cars were there and had to question that I had rang the right number as the salesman couldn't even confirm the company name when I asked. Now I'm not saying that salesmen should know everything about cars but when I'm told an egr valve (otherwise known as an exhaust gas recirculation valve) has nothing to do with the exhaust and is just a solenoid and that a possible clutch rattle is nothing to worry about as being an old car things will rattle and could in no way be related to the flywheel alarm bells start ringing. I went along with the sales pitch and was then told it is what it is and if I didn't want a car that rattles then I should look at newer cars. The cars may very well be good but just know what you are looking at before you go. I can't comment on after sales since I chose not to buy a car from this seller.

just bought a clio from Pat Lavery garage and I am very impressed with the service, the friendliness of staff and after service cannot complain at all.I would recomend this garage to any one.

Just bought a new car from this garage.. am very pleased with my purchase but was abit annoyed with the fact the boss never carried out the sale but handed it to the valeter to close the deal..seems abit odd.. I only saw the car once prior to the sale upon collection I noticed a few other bits which I mentioned not wanting a deduction or anything but just mentioned it, I was shot down with the " tell you what forget about the car don't buy it.." from the owner.. I never once said I wasn`t going to buy it.. seemed a nice bloke to start but may have abit of an attitude.. But none the less I am happy with my car and the excellent job the VALETER did selling me it.. If another time comes where I will be looking for a new car I will still give pat lavery a look..

I wouldn't advise anyone to go here, they pull their charges out of the air and eveytime it goes in it comes out with summit else wrong.
The MOTs are a joke, they give you a big list that needs doing... if so take it to another garage... see for yourself!!!

Have just purchased a Mondeo Estate and found all the staff I had dealings with pleasant and most helpfull. The car appears in great condition and was most competatively priced. One small issue with the vehicle was dealt with immediatly and curtiously. Two weeks down the line and I am still one happy chappie. Nice when a small local garage can provide such a fine service.
