Hi Dan,
Thank you for your patience in helping my mother to find and feel comfortable with her new car. As you know she had owned her old car for more than 12 years and so the change was fairly significant to her. You were polite, charming and graceful at all times - a night and day contrast to what we had encountered during our car search prior to visiting your garage. Have a great Christmas and good luck in 2013!

Morning Dan,
I wanted to leave some feedback for the website saying how pleased we both are with the new clio. It was a real pleasure doing business with you. You seemed soooo relaxed (in a good way!) and let the cars do the talking. All the cars in your showroom were beautiful and we were spoilt for choice - Our clio was easily the best we had seen after spending all day Saturday looking - our only regret is not finding you sooner! We will be back! Anyone reading the comments on here take note, we read them and then visited and are so pleased we did. 5 stars!

Hi Dan,
Sorry this is late. It's something I have been meaning to do for ages.
A note of sincere thanks for the superb service we received when buying the fiesta from you. Its been 4 months now and
Amanda (and the kids!) are still really please with it. She even washes it! You did say black can be hard work
to keep clean but we still think its worth it. Anyway, all the very best for the future and we will be looking you up
next time and in the mean time recommending you to our friends.

Hi Dan,
Cannot believe it is over 5 months since I traded in my lovely red Polo, bought from you and reluctantly given up.
I had every intention of acknowledging sooner how brilliant (& patient) you were at working to all the somewhat
exacting criteria for a younger replacement car.
You managed to find the right car within weeks and the Clio is indeed both economical whilst nippy enough for my
husband to be happy to drive it. She has just passed her MOT with no work needed and has been just as reliable as
the Polo.
The cars you sourced for two of our daughters are also going well, before you know it you will be doing
the same for your own!
Very best wishes.

Hi Dan,
Would like to say a big thank you for providing me with my new car and rescuing me from my old one! I thought the
way you showed me the car and the service you provided was outstanding. You were very honest and took your time and
in no way rushed me which i really appreciated. I'm really pleased with my new car and would highly recommend you to
my friends, which i have already done, so expect some phone calls! I will def come back to you if ever i need a new
car again. Many Thanks!

Hi Dan,
Would just like to say thank you for all the help you gave me in finding me the perfect car. You went above and beyond the call of duty and gave me honest,
helpful advice when searching. I absolutely love the Audi A1 I bought from you and will always recommend you to friends and family. I travelled all the way from Essex
to buy from you and it was worth every mile! Thanks again,

Hi Dan,
Just thought we would let you know how things are going with the honda we brought in february, we have done a
couple of long journeys recently and found the car very comfortable, the car did well on the fuel too.
We are so pleased with the car and of the service you gave. Many thanks again.

Dan,
what can I say, absolutely love my car! Had been searching for a Golf for a while on AutoTrader and I'd encountered
a few sharks along the way, so was very refreshed to meet you. The car fitted the description of your advert with
no unwelcome surprises. I found you to be very honest/upfront/not at all pushy and I was very comfortable to
agree to purchase there and then. When I collected my car a couple of days later, following the MOT (which it
passed with no advisories), I was pleased that not only had you purchased an additional 6 months tax, as agreed,
but you'd also gone to the extra trouble to valet it, blast clean the engine and even re-wire the stereo headset
for optimum performance (which wasn't even part of the deal!). You sat in the car with me and ran through all the
controls and features before I set off about my merry way! I've since learnt that my cousin, Charlie, also
purchased a Golf from you a few years ago, and her boyfriend PX'd a car with you. I was and remain extremely
pleased with my purchase, found it a pleasure doing business with you and have already recommended to you to
friends.

Dear Dan,
Just a quick note to put in with the 2nd key for my little baby clio.
The new car drove well, didn't want to reach home so soon as I was enjoying the drive so much! Ha ha ha
If this new car is half as good as my old car I will be well happy. Hope she gets a nice owner too.
Was really good doing business with you Dan and if all goes to plan I will definitely be back to see
you within the next 5 years. We will of course let everyone know about Small Car Specialists as you were
so helpful and fair in the sale of our new car.
Many thanks and all the best to you and your lovely family.
Kindest regards,

Hello Dan,
We purchased a Peugeot 206 from you about 7 months ago. I have waited to give you feedback because I wanted to make sure everything was ok with the car & to see what happened at the MOT. The car sailed through the MOT with only 1 advisory.
We have had no problems with the car & the service you gave us was great.
Cheers

Hi Dan,
Just a quick note to say thank you for the excellent service yesterday. Your telephone description of the car
was very comprehensive, giving me the confidence to drive from Bournemouth to view it. My immediate impression
of the car was as I had hoped and exactly as you had described. All in all, I am delighted with my purchase and
will certainly be recommending Small Car Specialists to any of my friends looking to a purchase a new car.
Thanks again Dan!

Hi Dan,
After buying a red ford fiesta from you two weeks ago it developed a whistling sound.
I took the car back to the small car specialists and Dan fixed the problem (some dirt stuck in the back brakes)
straight away without any charge. I found him professional, really friendly and extremely helpful.
Thank you for all your help and a great little car! Best wishes,

Hi Dan,
just a quick note for your website regarding the 04 reg Silver Astra we purchased from you in Jan.
We would like to thank Small Car Specialist for a great buying experience. Never has buying a car been so easy
and enjoyable. Hassle-free, well described, well photographed with excellent, polite and prompt communications.
A good deal and first class delivery by Dan.

My wife and I recently purchased a 2002 1.5dci Clio from SCS, two days after collecting the car it developed an intermittent starting problem.
We contacted SCS for help and were pleasantly surprised to find them more than helpful by initially bearing the cost of an investigation by a local repair shop and when that failed passing the car to a Renault main dealer, again at their cost, which turned out to be quite considerable!
My wife and I have no hesitation in recommending SCS, Dan placed no pressure on us to purchase the car and when problems arose it was a nice change to see the problem get sorted without the usual "sorry your warranty doesn't cover that" type of comments that car dealers have a habit of using.
Roger and Emma, Southampton
Date: 13:54 2nd February 2009
Having previously bought a dodgy car, the thing that sold SCS to me was the key points on the website homepage, low tax, low mileage, exceptional condition and good history. The car I bought had just that and it was nice to view it undercover. I also particularly liked the fact that there was no heavy sales pitch that I had got when viewing other cars at other garages . Overall, I received excellent customer service when buying my Clio from the Small Car Specialist and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Hi Dan
Just wanted to say thanks for the service we received whilst buying our Puma. Both my wife and I were very impressed with the service we received from Dan, he was very professional and a great help.

Thanks,

I'd like to thank Dan at Small Car Specialists for his warm welcome and
for agreeing to fit in a viewing of the car at an unsociable time of
the evening. The car was obviously well looked after and nicely
presented, with all relevant paperwork giving me peace of mind. The
price was very reasonable so I bought it on the spot, and have been
very happy with it so far!
