Lovely, reliable, trustworthy, friendly garage with knowledgeable staff

E Field, 12/03/2013

Great having such friendly, personal service in a relaxed manner with no feeling of being forced into anything but allowed to choose at every point. Would definitely trust this dealer and continue to use and to recommend... already know folk who buy from there and are very satisfied. Non-pushy but very interested in what customer actually wants and very accommodating re contact by text, e-mail or phone. Felt totally at ease with Richard Blackshaw throughout the whole transaction...5*treatment... including the coffees! Lovely to receive photograph of us with our New Car through the post.

W Convery, 12/03/2013

Mr Ronnie Black has dealt with our purchases of several vehicles over the years. I always seek his advice and he always answers any questions or reservations I may have on the procedure when purchasing a vehicle. I must comment on the friendliness of all the sales staff when visiting the Alnwick showroom. John kept me in the "loop" via the telephone. All that was promised re the order, delivery time etc went ahead perfectly.

Mr Walsh, 13/07/2011

Everything was perfect, from Amy who booked the appointment and dealt with me on my arrival to the lady who gave us a lift. Very professional! I decided to travel further than I should have been required to due to poor service from my closer dealer. I'm glad I did! Thank you.

Mr Pattinson, 13/07/2011

First Class service as usual.

Dear Mr Blackshaw. This letter is long overdue. I want to express my appreciation to all of your staff who always have a smiling welcome and who have given me so much help and shown me so many kindnesses - especially those whom I have know over the years. I count myself very fortunate to know them and you must feel that you have good fortune in having them.
