Excellent experience start to finish. Michael handled my purchase and even delivered the car to me 175 miles away! Knowledgeable, friendly, professional and helpful. Can't recommend highly enough so if I could give six stars, I would!

I recently bought a Subaru Forester XT from Mike at Smallbone Cars Ltd. The car was immaculately prepared with one owner and full service history. All documents were to hand for inspection in the modern and comfortable office. The transaction was the most pleasant purchase of a car that I remember (and I have bought many over the years!). There was no pressure; Mike was polite, friendly and knowledgeable, and the business has a great family atmosphere!

I called a few weeks after the sale with a query and Mike got straight back to me and was as helpful as ever. Also agreed an excellent PX price on my Subaru Outback. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys.

Just bought our caravan from Smallbone cars/caravans. Cannot fault anything, from pulling onto the forecourt to make enquiries, through to having the caravan we bought delivered. The service has been exceptional and would rate them 100% from start to finish. Chloe is very helpful and friendly, explaining everything fully throughout. Very professional company, without losing that human touch. Thank you for helping us Chloe. Would highly recommend

Bought a freelander last week. 8 years old but in mint condition. New tyre, pads and discs done before we picked it up. Great service, good part ex price. Would go back and buy again.

Perfect one stop shop for selling or buying a car. I've used both services over the last 5 weeks and the service and attention to detail is spot on. Paid me a fair price for my Audi. I then traded my daughters mini convertible for a later model and very happy with deal and new motor. Highly recommended.

Very friendly, professional and the price they offer is the price that is paid not like other buyer who artificially inflate the price then drop it dramatically when selling. The money is transferred as you transfer the car not 3 days later as with some
