Apologies, this write-up is well overdue. I had a '5 Star Review' worthy experience between Christmas and New Year when Leigh gave much of his time out of his busy day to assist with a car related issue that I was experiencing. Whilst not Martin Leigh Automobiles primary business focus, Leigh was all to willing to assist - in fact he went above and beyond, given it was December 29th, raining, and I had turned up on his forecourt unannounced. Leigh was very approachable, informative, clearly knowledgeable and most importantly incredibly honest.
Given previous 'auto' related dealings I've encountered in Guildford, this warrants the highest of reviews. When I need to find another I car I will be back to see you. Thank you Leigh. Happy New Year.

Not sure where to start. I can't thank Martin and Leigh enough! We saw my new car advertised online, enquired and went to view the car. The car was as described and they gave us the time to look around the car, at our own pace. We however didn't need much time as we knew it was the car we wanted. No pushy salesman, just 2 genuine guys. I would fully recommend Martin Leigh Automobiles to anyone, they are exceptional!

Travelled in October from Cornwall to collect our third car from Martin and Leigh, this time it was for our son. We relied on their photos they sent us which were true to form when we saw it! Our teenage son loved it and he can be quite picky! Brilliant honest service as always. Thank you, we will return again with the next son!

I have no hesitation in recommending Leigh for anyone looking for a top quality second hand car, he has always been extremely helpful and trustworthy and has ended up saving me 100s of pounds. I purchased a Mazda from him last year and it runs beautifully, a fantastic vehicle I have been very happy with my purchase.

Looked for a car last year and found my Focus with Martin Leigh. When my son wanted his first car we looked locally with no luck so I decided I'd give Martin Leigh a try. Got a Mazda MX2 and it is perfect for him. He loves it and he's learning and gaining confidence driving his own car. I will always recommend Martin Leigh every time for top quality cars, services and a warm friendly experience.

We had purchased vehicles from this dealer in years gone by, all with varying success, but having had issues with vehicles purchased by family members from here, we had gone elsewhere. We did however to give them another chance a few months ago and again we were let down. The car broke down, unable to get it back to the dealer we got it to a local garage.
They did the repair, and when we explained the vehicle was purchased 3 months ago, (supposedly checked over the dealer before sale) the garage suggested that we take this up with the dealership as the car should not have been sold in this condition. We made contact with the dealer and no response. Hence this review. We will be avoiding this dealership in the future and would not recommend them to anyone.

Martin Leigh Automobiles made buying my car such a pleasant and calm experience. As a nervous driver and first time buyer they were extremely helpful and patient with me. Martin even drive me to a quiet area to text drive the car, which was extremely kind. The whole process was clear and simple and the even helped with road tax. The car had a full new MOT and was fully serviced.
I was given a thorough explanation of the car and how it everything worked, plus how to care for it in the future. I highly recommend Martin Leigh Automobiles and will be going back to them for my husbands new car in the future. Fantastic service and lovely guys!
