Services
With over 45 years experience in the Motor Industry, we pride ourselves on quality of service and excellent value, resulting in a high number of repeat customers. Our steady growth in the car dealer and car sales industry has been the result of consistently exceeding our customers' expectations. We have around 50 cars on our forecourt from small hatchbacks to people carriers, 4 wheel drive and prestige cars all at great value for money! We also purchase cars outright and would be keen to buy your privately owned, well maintained vehicle.
We offer to purchase your old car outright, taking it off your hands and giving you the money towards another car (or just put it in the bank!). In our usual fashion, we aim to make it a smooth, easy and pleasant transaction. We check for any outstanding finance and clear it as part of the transaction.
We have purchased and had cars serviced and repaired at Alresford Garage for more years than i care to remember. Ross and the team in the workshop are just amazingly helpful and will always try to save you money where possible on maintenance and repairs. We have never had any real problems with any of the cars purchased from this garage including VW s, BMW's and recently a Porsche.

Polite and responsive office manager, knowledgeable and patient service manager. I had several issues with the vehicle which were completed in Warranty. One particular fault which was intermittent and difficult to diagnose was eventually diagnosed and repaired without bad attitude despite me being a persistent customer. I am pleased to recommend this business and commend them on the tenacity of their service department and fulfillment of a true no catch warranty. Courtesy cars were offered throughout.
The car is a good example for its year and the buying process was quick and unpressured, with the office sorting out the paperwork and ensuring a full service and MOT had been completed. I would definitely buy from them again, and with covid leaving people with reduced incomes, it is nice to know they won't wash their hands if something goes wrong.

Recently upgraded my car with one from Alresford garage, and I couldn't recommend them enough. They ensured that the car was to a high standard before I picked it up. I was able to compare the service I received to what my parents received from a different dealer, and I had a significantly better experience. Friendly and informative staff. Will return when I want to upgrade again!

Really good choice of vehicles for all budgets. Purchased a used Vauxhall Corsa from Stuart for our daughter to learn to drive in. Stuart was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, not pushy just very helpful. Very happy with vehicle purchased, our daughter loves it. Would definitely buy from this garage again.

We were looking for a fiat 500 for our daughter, and found one at this garage. Due to the current circumstances, the garage was closed, but we were able to leave our contact details. We received a call two days later from Stuart who asked if we would like an appointment to see the car. On turning up at the garage we received a warm and friendly service. Stuart spoke to our daughter about the car and answered all of her questions.
While buying the car, we were informed about the services offered by the garage, which was very helpful. We have now collected the car, and I have to say that the service we received was of a very high and professional standard. We would definitely recommend this garage to anyone. Thank you again to Mark, Sue and Stuart.( Great team )

I went there about 4 weeks ago to look at some mazda mx5 s they had in stock. The salesman was very friendly, explained that the business was family run and the package they gave with there car sales. We went out for a test drive in one of his cars and was impressed. I later decided to buy a new car elsewhere but thought that they seemed a good company to do business with. I have since recommended them to a friend.
