Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I felt assured and confident in purchasing my new car from Essex Car Company. It's always a bit daunting to venture into unfamiliar territory, but their referral put me at ease. It's safe to say they lived up to the recommendation and I'd buy another car from here again in future

After browsing the car online, I decided to visit Essex Car Company in person to get a firsthand look—it's always better that way, in my opinion. The moment I laid eyes on the Ford Puma they had in stock, I knew it was the one for me. The entire process, from start to finish, was incredibly smooth and stress-free. I couldn't have asked for a simpler transaction.

A few weeks back I brought a new car from the dealer Charlie. My mum had concerns about its service history, Essex car company contacted me and said that it was a due a service. Had it serviced today so fingers cross now everything will be alright with it moving forward, had only one problem with it which was the footwell in the passengers side being extremely wet, hopefully now they’ve sorted that as they said the pipe was blocked. All in all a very good company.

It's been a smooth run with Essex Car Company, I bought my car back in October 2023 and since I took ownership there hasn't been any cause for worry. The car has been exactly as it should.

"The best salesman I have come across. "

Believe it or not, Dave, my salesman was possibly the nicest salesman I have ever come across. The people I bought my Nissan Qashqai from in Rainham, I think they went above and beyond their call of duty. I would recommend to anybody. I never actually intended to buy a car for me. Ironically, I was looking for a car for my grandson, after driving past Essex Car Company I couldn't not go and have a look.. well I ended up going about 3x over my budget on a car for myself! You could not write it haha! It's not very often that I praise a car dealer, 9 times out of 10, you do not get looked after like this. I am that happy I want to rate 11/10!
