Thoroughly impressed with Peter at the point of sale, answered all my queries. Never felt under pressure. Friendly relaxed vibe all round. Radio face was missing and although it took a bit of time to track the part down to Lithuania! Peter succeeded and delivered the radio in person! Couldn't ask for better customer service. Thank you

Got a car from them they said hadn’t long passed MOT only cost £499 so wouldn’t expect the earth however after driving it twice lost all power had a friend look at it and the car shouldn’t of been sold. The main cable from the battery to alternator was fraid that much it had separated itself from the battery. Have tried calling numerous time and now car has just been sat in my car park for months as couldn’t get an answer and I can’t afford to get the part that’s needed and get it fitted. Car now due MOT so going to fail as the thing don’t move also being told it had a full years MOt on it yet only had it 3 months . What a waste of money I couldn’t afford!

"Terrible service, warranty means nothing"

I bought a car from this dealer July 2021, promised a 3 month warranty for major mechanical issues. Within 2 months I took the car for a service and was told the coolant system needed urgent repairs otherwise would need a new head gasket. Had the repairs done then called Peter to inform him of the issue, took a couple days to reach him. He called back asking for the receipt and a promise to get in touch with warranty and let me know what they say. I've since heard nothing. Tried calling multiple times and left messages and heard nothing. Now the warranty has run out, but I may as well not have been promised one, because it meant nothing clearly. I also haven't received my V5C form, which Peter said he would sort so that it is delivered to my address. Nothing received so I will have to pay and sort that out myself. Be wary of this dealer.

"Terrible service. Sold a faulty car"

I bought a car from Olivers of Southampton in December 2017. There was a major issue with the car which the dealer assured me would be fixed under the manufacturer warranty. This was not the case. After months of time wasted arguing with the dealer, he only agreed to repair the issue when threatened with court action. Avoid this dealer like the plague.

Peter was extremely professional and honest throughout the whole transaction. He described the vehicle accurately, ensuring I knew about any marks before traveling over. I found Peter personable and courteous throughout and never tried to give me the hard sell. The car service history was all available, organised and as a described. The car was washed and in perfect order, we’re delighted with it. Peter had other lovely cars in his range and I will be going back to him again in the future. Best second hand car dealership I’ve dealt with. I would not hesitate in recommending Oliver’s of Southampton to anyone. Thanks Paul Turner

Still waiting for a second key which Olivers of Southampton promised 8 weeks ago. I've rung many times and left multiple messages and not been called back. Despite posting to wrong address, they passed the blame onto to the post office for "losing the key" and are accepting no blame or responsibility. Very rude manners. Avoid at all costs. Smarmy and deceitful.

Olivers Of Southampton sold me the car with 11 months MOT. Within 3 weeks the head gasket needed replacing as the car was almost unusable. No substantial discount offered from seller to do the work, in fact I got it done cheaper than their offered "discount" somewhere else full price. Read on the paper work afterwards "sold as parts" which was not what I was told when buying the car and not what I had agreed.

Dealership Information

I have been in the Motor Sales Industry for over 30 years. My vehicles are selected with care and invariably chosen from franchised dealers with whom I've built a relationship up over many years. Most vehicles have full service history and usually privately owned. A Pre-Delivery Inspection is carried out by my own workshop prior to collection to ensure its condition is as expected at the time of sale. Customer Satisfaction is Paramount. I do not hide behind any member of my team in this regard. I am always contactable. I and my Company look forward to being of good service to you - Peter Oliver ~ Managing Director
