Our operation has been built on the firm understanding that we would like to retain our customers for life rather than just the one sale. We are a truly family-run small business based near Tring, Hertfordshire, with family values and a friendly approach to the car buying process. We operate on low margins and will nearly always beat all the main dealers on price whilst offering a much more personal approach. We offer a part exchange service and we can source just about any car if we don't have what you want in stock!
Services
Although you'll still feel the exhilarating buzz you get when purchasing your car from the main dealers, it will be that much more special when you realise that you're not helping pay for the salesman's Armani suit or the overrated percolated coffee. You can email us your requirements; we will then research the prices and contact you with a guideline.
The Audi marque combines stunning designs with the very best of German technology, it has a huge range of small compacts, saloons, sports car and SUV's which never fall short of the mark. With its strong lines and almost aggressive front end design from 2015 Audi boasts not only desirable status and looks, but the latest in future technology with our favourite - the virtual cockpit.
Fiat cars are almost always associated with classic European cool. Their ability to produce incredibly designed small cars, perfect for city driving means they're the perfect first drive for many teenagers. A favourite in the 80s, the Fiat Panda was economical, nippy and great for getting around town.
It's where it all started with the Model-T, the first mass produced car that everyone could own, and it's gone so far in the past 100 years and been at the forefront of car technology and performance for a good proportion of that. You may have grown up with the iconic Ford Escort, or even started driving with the Ford Fiesta, but there's every chance you've owned a Ford at some point in your life. As our needs mature, we end up driving the Sierra which eventually became the Mondeo, a car renowned for it's incredible road handling and economy.

I cannot recommend this garage highly enough they are fantastic. We dealt with James who has gone beyond the extra mile to be helpful and of assistance. Every question and query he has responded to immediately and has been so professional. I picked up my Audi TT last week and it was in showroom condition. I feel so confident that if I have any problems with the car they will be dealt with.
We have bought many cars in the past but never have I been so impressed with a used car centre as I have been with John Lambert. If you are buying a used car you will not go far wrong purchasing one from this centre.

I recently sold my fathers car to John via the carwow/wizzle website after looking at several other selling options. Dealing with John and his team made the whole process simple and straightforward. John was professional and understanding of our situation throughout. Keith made the collection a stress-free process which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend using John Lamber Car Sales in the future. Thanks guys.

Selling my used VW When I decided to sell my car I contacted several organisations. Only Wizzle (now, I believe, Carwow) impressed me. They responded quickly and within hours I had received an offer. As I negotiated with the dealer, John Lambert Car Sales, Wizzle kept in touch and offered the reassurance that I could contact them at any time. I didn't need to, because my dealings with John Lambert were excellent in every way.
I received a very fair price for my car, which was collected next day. John and his brother were thoroughly professional, friendly and helpful. I would be very happy to recommend them to anyone who wants to buy or sell a car.

First time buying a car at John Lambert Cars and found the whole experience fantastic. From the first time ringing up about the car, to handing over the keys. We were taken care of by James who was really friendly and gave us not one bit of pressure to purchase. As well as that, the car we bought from them was immaculate and obviously sourced carefully.
They sorted out any issues and gave the car another clean before we took it away. Top place and highly recommend to anyone looking for a pressure -free, professional and highly quality used car dealership. Cheers

I went to John Lambert as I have been looking for a BMW 120i coupe. Unfortunately the sport variant wasnt exactly what I was looking for. However, I have never felt so welcome at a dealership. James was extremely friendly, and didnt pressure me into buying the car if I wasn't 100% certain it's what I was looking for. About 25 minutes before we arrived, I called and asked to see a Mazda mx5 as well, as I was looking for one previously.
It was no issue. They had both cars ready to look at by the time we got there. I got to try both cars to see if either of them were right for me. Both cars we saw that day were immaculate (even at their older age). It became very clear very quickly that all the reviews I read were true; John Lambert don't buy cars from auction. It's very apparent that all their stock is chosen carefully to make sure that they don't sell anyone a car they will regret buying.
Even though I was picky about what I wanted from a rather rare (at low mileage) 10 year old car, after speaking to James he told me it was no problem to try and source the car I was after. I would honestly rather wait an eternity for them to have the right car I'm looking for, than to waste my time else where. I'm really greatful for all their help and friendliness.
I trust in what the stand for and I hope my next car comes from them. I'm making sure to tell everyone I know looking for a car to come here first. I know that I'll be returning for sure in the future. I hope you find that car for me James and thank you again.

I brought a 2016 Audi TT 2.0 S-Line S-Tronic without viewing or test-drive, but purely based on the website advert along with trust and confidence in John Lambert Car Sales. The buying experience with James and the Team was fantastic - relaxed, comprehensive, even a personalised video tour around the car. Everything was catered for - with a service, full MOT, warranty, arranging tax and fuel for me to drive away, and the car was in gleaming reflective condition.
With hindsight I did not ask key questions like Service History. But I had no concerns, for the paperwork and history all checks out with the car being properly cared for. To turn up and be introduced to this car, right down to my stupid questions of 'how do I start it up', and driving it away was quite surreal. Now a week later, burning through a tank of fuel as I've drove it to enjoy each day, and having plenty of time to discover every individual feature, and seeing its condition in careful detail, I still have no concern or doubt. The car and buying experience is beyond my expectation, and I would not hesitate recommending JL Car Sales for someone's next car purchase.

I'd been recommended this business some time ago & thought I'd give them a call to see if they could help me find a suitable car for my daughters. I'm so glad I did! James actively looked for something suitable for them over a number of months that ticked all the boxes on my wishlist & he couldn't have been more attentive, pleasant and thoroughly helpful throughout, going above & beyond at every stage.
We picked up the new car this week & are thrilled with it! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this dealership & will definitely be back next time we're looking to change one of the cars in the family.

Surprisingly, with them being just down the road from us, we'd not come across JL Cars until now. We're really glad we did. They delivered a fantastic experience from beginning to end. James was so straightforward to deal with, knowledgable about the vehicle we bought and entirely trustworthy. We had been looking at local dealerships but the experience with JL Cars was so much better.
We're delighted with our nearly new Mercedes and would not hesitate to recommend this outstanding small, family run business to family, friends or prospective customers who appreciate great service. Thanks guys!

I bought my first car from John Lambert Cars 17 years ago and it's still going strong. They work really hard to find you a quality car and all at a good price. My dad has bought several cars from here and each time they really look after him with the right advice and excellent after sale service. He won't go anywhere else! It's great to deal with a business that's so professional, trustworthy, reliable and super friendly.
