I have already got a few friends lined up to be giving The Car Loan Centre a call. I am so happy with my Audi that I recently bought it is a great car and is in such a nice condition for the age and mileage. Everyone who I dealt with was so helpful and everybody is very friendly and willing to help. I'd definitely go again.

I am really happy with how things went with the car loan centre people. They were really knowledgeable of all the cars they own and they walked me through the process. I didn't feel rushed or pressured and was allowed to take my time deciding if it was what I wanted. My car is so lovely its perfect for the whole family, so I couldn't be happier. Nothing but 5 stars!

Never thought I’d be able to get finance on a car with how my credit history was due to young age mistakes and currently being in an Iva, but thanks to malcom pattern and the team I’ve been able to get a car I can afford and for a great price and a fantastic car for its age and mileage, Malcolm has been fantastic and helped me all the way and kept me informed and updated, no I’m just currently waiting for my car to be able to pick up,

A very faultless, easy experience when buying my VW from The Car Loan Centre. I originally dealt with Taariq who was absolutely brilliant, he made it a really simple, easy process. When I went to collect the car, the people who i met were lovely as well, they were all really helpful and made it a really quick, easy handover. The car is great and is exactly what I have been needing, so I am very happy with my time spent with the team, I highly recommend!
