I bought a 2015 grand c-max and within the first week I noticed a tyre was cracked on the outside edges. The windscreen had tons of chips and two 5mm in diameter. I called him and he said to contact my insurance company for the windscreen and the tyre was within MOT standard. He did offer to look at the car but to be honest if he’s already trying to fob me off then I am not driving to his garage for anything. Another problem occurred that I haven’t told him about, because of his attitude about the above issues I thought there’s no point. The clutch was making a little vibrating noise when pedal pressed, so I took it to a garage and was told that the clutch bearing needed replacing. I took it to another garage who said the same thing. All in I had to replace the clutch assembly, dual flywheel and slave cylinder!! Let’s just say it cost me a small fortune. I am just leaving this for all to see. The AA name and guarantee they are using to sell cars means nothing. Take a professional with you to view these cars or better still, just go somewhere else.

Visited John after speaking on the phone to come view a Ford ecosport that we were interested in. Felt very comfortable in doing business with him and his company. Explained everything, very relaxed and welcoming, made the whole experience very exciting and enjoyable (as we haven't changed our car in nearly 10 years) has answered any subsequent questions after purchase and would most definitely recommend. Thanks again

Absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. I purchased a Hyundai I30 form here in August and I have had no issues with it at all. The car was fab value for money and the dealers were really helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone.

They were lovely and the guy who dealt with me, his name escapes me right now was a pleasure to deal with. Top marks all around for every aspect, from knowledge, helpfulness, the car etc. I was really happy. I would recommend them to anyone currently looking for a car in the Colchester area and beyond
