"Dead easy-going 👍"

The service from these guys is just spot on. They were really helpful and just dead easy-going, not pushy at all. I had a good look at the car before I made any decisions and took it on a quick test drive. There were no problems with it so I decided to take it. When I came back to collect it they had got all the paperwork sorted and it was ready to go. I have given it a few good blasts now and it is all running very well. They even gave me a couple of calls afterwards to check I am happy with the car which was appreciated. I would go back to them in the future for sure.

Kristian and his team are such a fantastic bunch! Very knowledgeable, honest and helpful! I bought a car from them in 2022 and the process was made much easier then expected from buying a car from a dealer. Kristian took time to understand my need in a car and also as a person! I then later needed help as I had road accident, he was so helpful and managed to help me find a car within a week. I doubt I will be going else where for any car issues. They 100% look after their customers! The cars have been great too.

Spotted a red Greg 420 sec on the website www. Specialistcars.net based nr York on thev12 Dec 2022. If I was interested I would have to pay 20% down payment. This I did. And after contacting kristian for a update I was told , its coming, its coming 10 weeks later it did turn up. I lost faith and interest . As well the car had a 7 week valid mot certificate. When purchasing from Kristian: make sure the car is in stock. Don't pay more than a £100.00 deposit. Make sure you get a 12 month mot. Now you know!!!

kristian geldard from Specialist Cars York in response to Lesson learned.

The customer in question agreed to buy a car from us, it was explained to him that to bring the car to the level he required as part of the deal he wanted a large amount of detailed, lengthy, and specific (and expensive) preparation would be required to be carried out. This and additional works to those requested were done resulting in a truly beautiful car. (it should be noted, this would also include a new 12 mths MOT too, standard on all our retail cars, to be started a couple of days before delivery/collection). On the Friday the car was ready the customer commented the car was looking good, the following Monday commencing the week of completion, he then e-mailed and said he had simply lost interest, and wished us a great day. (Original e-mail below), In this type a business especially when specific, additional, and costly works, that take a while to complete are been carried out a deposit would always be taken such as in this scenario as normal practice, we have offered and done all that was promised on this specific car, and more and at no extra cost!, so this review is extremely unjust. Original e-mail below :- Hi Kristian Thank you for your email. After careful consideration I have decided against the purchase of the Mercedes 420 SEC. I seem to have lost interest!! The deposit will be lost, it’s an expensive lesson learned on my side. Next time I will make sure: Making sure the seller has the vehicle in stock. Pay no more than £100,00 holding fee. Kristian I wish you a great day!! Kind regards. Sier. Northern Hub TPN Night Manager D098

Kristian was originally recommended to me by another one of his customers. The car (Imported Range Rover from Japan) is excellent and Kristian's after sales care has been exceptionally good. I can honestly say Kristian has changed my view of second hand car dealers!

Kristian doesn't fit the typical car dealer persona and that's exactly what you want when living in London and buying a car online. The knowledge of the vehicle and after sales support is unrivaled and I'd definitely buy my next car from him again. Recommended.

I I purchased a Mercedes1998 C180 back in September 2019 Kristian gave me a detailed description of the car over the telephone. I am really enjoying the ownership of this Mercedes and it have driven without fault. I found Kristian to be very polite and helpful I would another Mercedes from specialist cars when the time comes.

Just taken delivery of a Japanese import from Specialist Cars York. It is a 1993 Mercedes E320 estate. Top of the range with lots of extras. The car was thoroughly checked over and any minor problems were rectified. There is no rust on the vehicle which is noticeable on Japanese imports. The underneath is perfect for a 27y year old car and Kristian had it wax oiled before delivery. The car drives a dream, very smooth and comfortable, a pleasure to drive. Recommend this company for a really nice older Mercedes.

Great place to go if your in the market for an older classic land rover or range rover, they source thier cars from japan so super condition to start, and prepare to a very high level. Good product knowlage all the way through from start to finish. Garage and workshops smart clean and very well organised. No high pressure sales techniques. A refreshing change and will buy again from them. A satisfied customer.

Just want to say a big thank you to the very nice people at this garage. I have lost interest in modem cars of late and always missed my old Mercedes 190 i had back in 1989 as my company car when I was promoted to area manager when I sold carpet for a living. I did not think I could find a good one after many fruitless trips with my grandson trying to do so, patience prevailed and after a long trip from Wales my quest to rekindle my youth we got the jackpot! These cars are remarkable, they really are... The owner and his staff made me feel special from the point i arrived and despite my indecisive nature choosing which car from the many lovely ones they had, they had the patience of a saint. Within 3 weeks my new old car was on my drive, and he rest is history. I just can't keep our of it and drive it at every opportunity, so, so happty, the low miles will soon be a thing of the past. i really recommend his garage. Best.. Nicho from wales.. A happy old man.. God bless.
