From start to finish, SMC provided a supportive, informative and thoroughly enjoyable experience. I needed a vehicle urgently as my current car had failed catastrophically and I needed a replacement ASAP. SMC had just the right vehicle for me. I was able to book a test drive and leave a refundable deposit to secure the car before the test drive. I was delay with throughout by Keith, a very friendly and informative person, he answered all my questions and was tremendously helpful during the whole test drive and buying process. The car I was looking at, a Toyota Prius, was beautifully valeted when I went for the test drive, and there was no rushing at all. I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending SMC as a fantastic car dealership, my experience with them was both positive and rewarding. Long may they continue!

My daughter bought her first car here. Saved hard and bought a mini. One week down the line the gearbox has gone, amongst other things. Mechanic said it will cost too much to repair. Shame on you SMC cars.

Sandy Ralston from SMC Cars and Commercials in response to Crap
More than a little dissapointed to receive this review. The vehicle was sold as a Part exchange to Clear without Warranty. SMC actually carried out the repair fitiing a reconditioned and warranted automatic gearbox to the vehicle at no cost at all to the customer.
Dealt with jamie and was very professional and the whole process was very easy and straight forward. Would definitely recommend smc to anyone looking to px and buy a car

It's easy to leave a good review when you buy a car/van and nothing goes wrong with it... It's just a simple transaction. My experience wasn't that simple though, I purchased a van on Saturday and by the Monday the van had decided to commit suicide, probably through meeting me (can hardly blame the poor thing, really). But Chris was on the ball. 1 phone call and 30 minutes later there was a recovery truck and a spare (loaner) van outside my house waiting for me. He got me back on the road and my van fixed very quickly and is an absolute credit to SMC. Thank you again, Chris - 5* service

Was a lovely experience. Called in and booked a time to come and view a car. Chris talked me through the car and answered all questions I had swiftly he also helped resolve any issues that cropped up when looking around the car. Overall a very pleasant experience for my first time buying of a car
worst experience ever avoid this company at all costs. purchased van and then it was ready so they agreed to send me a curtesy car which was held together with tape and MOT ran out day after I got it aswell as broken window and engine light on and food on floor of it . then got a van which was of poor state awell still while waiting for my van . finally got my van had several issues so had to get finance company to step in and force them to fix after they had vehicle independent inspected and found loads of faults sent back to be fixed which took many weeks and then when I got back still didn't feel right so I had it checked and was told it should be on road as so much was wrong still so back to finance company who again had independent inspection again to agreed and finally had finance reversed also while it was being fixed the van i was sent then was shockingaswell and dash was like a light display of errors . AVOID AVOID AVOID WORST COMPANY EVER . I HAVE PROOF TO BACK ALL THIS UP FROM REPORTS TO PICTURES AND MESSAGES

I purchased a car from SMC. I had excellent service from Chris. Everything went smoothly from trading my car in and driving away with my new car within a few hours. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company. Keep up the good work, It made a change to deal with nice honest people. Well done.
