I have just sold my VW shuttle to Anchor Vans & am very impressed by their service & professionalism. Especially Sebastion who was very polite & professional & was prepared to collect my van very early (8am at my house) after a 2hour drive. Also Greg, who dealt with all the negotiations and could not have been more helpful with his pleasant & professional attitude. I would wholly recommend anyone to go to Anchor Vans to buy or sell your vehicle.

Do you have alot of spare time? Do you have alot of spare time? Do you have alot of cash? interested in building vans from scratch? then anchor van is the place for you! Starter pack 10.000 you will need at least a further 10.000 to complete the project. If you don't have extra cash don't B bother and buy a brand new one elsewhere save yourself time and headache

My husband bought a Ford Transit Connect from Anchor vans and the service we received was outstanding from start to finish. When we arrived we was greeted with a friendly smile from a gentleman called Peter. He was very helpful and had great knowledge of the van we was interested in, nothing was too much trouble. We went in to purchase the van and saw Steve, he helped work out the best financial deal for us. Yesterday the van was delivered to us by Tony, very friendly man who made sure we was happy with everything. I would certainly recommend Anchor Vans.

I recently bought a Citroen Relay with the 3 months warranty as standard, within a few thousand miles the brakes were grinding and the clutch was squealing when it was put in, I emailed Aaron with the issues and he told me that it's a return to base warranty so I would have to bring it down abs they would fix it. I dropped the van off and they informed me that the brake discs had a lip on them so they shaved it off so this would resolve that issue but they couldn't find any issue with the clutch or make the clutch make the noise I was reporting (I have provided video evidence of the clutch issue).
I picked my van up, and nothing had changed with the van, the brakes were the same and the clutch continued to make the same noise, even though I was informed that they have taken to clutch out and inspected it with nothing wrong with it. I have been chasing them for an update to the issues for 2 weeks but I keep getting fobbed off, terrible service warranty not worth the 250.

DONT WASTE YOURE TIME! my parents called up to try find a 9 seater vehicle. The guy said yes they have one in stock. My parents arraged a time and date (today) and drove all the way to Reading (about a hour or so drive). only to get there to be met with RUDE customer service and come to find out the sales rep lied, it wasn't a 9 seater AT ALL!. Waste of time, money and fuel.
He TRIED to call my father a lier by saying he asked for a 8 seater when he asked for a 9 minimum. The sales rep then checked his notes and found out he was in the wrong. Absolutely awful customer service and STUPIDLY OVER PRICED. Best off going to the actual ford/vw etc dealers.

Extremely poor attitude! Was sent here by Anchor vans saying they may be able to arrange commercial purchase through a business. I was skeptical but went to enquire anyway, met by a staff who didn't bother to come down the stairs and spoke to me from above. Stated if they sold to me, something WILL go wrong and I WILL claim it from them under consumer rights. There's no need to speak to customers like that and just shows how unreliable the vehicles you sell are. Avoid if you can, they're not worth your money or time

Purchased a Ford transit custom from anchor vans, the van is great, had a cosmetic issue with the van from delivery but Simon from anchor vans were very reasonable and gave me different options, one of them being to contribute towards the cost of getting rid of these marks which I am happy with. The delivery driver John was very good and patient even though I got stuck in traffic on the way to derby to meet for collection and was nearly an hour late John was still very polite and helpful.

I put a deposit for a 15 plate citroen relay down and agreed with Carl to exchange today at my house. The delivery man was very polite and helpful but that is where it goes down hill im afraid. The van is 6 yrs old and has only covered 20k miles and when you are spending 13k and taking a day off work you expect the van to have been checked and be ready for work.
In just 10 minutes i found the following faults. 1. The sat nav face unit was missing. 2. The reversing camera was upside down. 3. The right rear door was badly out of line and letting water in. 4. The rear interior lights were not working. 5. The cable on the sliding side door was loose so once open you could pull the door handle to then close it.
I rejected the van and carl has agreed to get these faults fixed for next weekend as i can't afford to take another day off. No mention of any compensation. This obviously now has me doubting if the van has infact had a service as promised. Avoid ANCHOR VANS at all cost

So if you would like to be served with great courtesy and a friendly smile, if you wish you have a swift and smooth resolve to your requirements, and walk away feeling incredibly well done, then I couldn’t recommend Anchor Vans more highly. They sell used transit cans vans. They service and offer parts and repairs for all transit vans. Thank you to the smile and kind service Eve Slatcher. (It makes a world of difference)

Phoned up about pre registered transit vans on their web site which have been advertised for weeks, turns out they advertise the vans but don't have any in stock, clearly don't update web site very often, when asked for a quote for a new van was told they would get back to me! still waiting over a week later. company are either to busy or basically cant be bothered! when you get that level of customer service at beginning why bother!

Anchor vans are ok for prices but don't expect any customer services. We have purchased a number of vans from them because of the price but there have been loads of other problems. Should probably try to use another supplier for the next van. They really are NOT trained in customer services so don't expect anything other than a rude salesman.

I've just become self employed and needed a van for work, with so many choices on the net I chose anchor vans and I'm glad I did, they delivered my van on time and I'm very pleased with the van. Colin was exactly What you want from a dealer, great customer service and would 100% recommend Anchor vans. Thanks I'm well pleased.

I have recently purchased a used a van off anchor vans. After spending a lot of time looking through reviews online i decided to go with them. Still uneasy about making a purchase without actually seeing the van in person Chris rollison put my mind at rest. From the initial phone call to the numerous emails i sent, he was always happy to answer any questions.
I arranged to meet halfway at birmingham to collect the van and i wasnt disappointed. Great condition, clean and tidy and nearly a full tank of fuel to drive home. John the delivery driver was a nice guy too. All in all good service from start to finish. Hoping i dont need to use the after service but Chris has said to call if any problems. Thanks Chris for all your help

Good choice of vans .

I have never dealt with a more professional or caring company as Anchor Vans. A particular mention to Carl who dealt with us throughout the purchase and after sales care and I have nothing but positive praise for. We had to contact Carl to help with a couple of minor things and he went out of his way to help and made the experience as smooth and seamless as possible.
He has been nothing but considerate and with the backing of anchor vans, done all he could to make sure we were happy customers. Thank you for everything - we will definitely be recommending Carl and Anchor Vans to others looking to purchase a van.

Purchased a car from Anchor cars. Excellent service from the sales personnel (Michael) right through to aftercare. The other day I had some problem with the interior lighting of the car. Gave it to the service team to investigate. Not only did they fix the problem but they discovered a small issue with the clutch, which they changed too without fuss all under the warranty period. Excellent service. Thank you.
