Car problem solved fast

5 stars to these two lads! i have mainly dealt with Ben but they have both been a massive help 👍 bought a car from them and there was a slight problem with it which only flashed up as I was driving home in it but no one to blame for it, phoned up explained the problem and they were straight on the case the following morning and even picked the car up for me as i wasn’t available to drop it off myself, without any fuss the problem has been sorted and car has been tested running all fine 👍 top customer service and men of their word. Recommend this place 100% Thanks again guys.
