We've just purchased our fourth car from Claremont Service Station, a Jaguar XF, and if it is as good a buy as the previous three we are in for trouble free motoring for many years to come. As usual Mike and Chris have given tremendous service with honestly and a genuine wish to provide customers with what they want.

Finding the right car at the right price and condition is one thing, but finding great service, chat and a sense of humour at the same time is impossible at main dealers who appear to read everything from a… script. Not so with Mike, he couldn't do enough for us and now my son has his first Alfa bought from a self proclaimed Alfa enthusiast Would buy again and highly recommend.

I've updated the star rating as i now know you trade under the same name but at a different location and you are a very good and reputable company. My review was aimed at those who have taken over the old location as stated online. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I’ve been going to Claremont for a few years now and find them absolutely fantastic. Both Mike and Chris very helpful very honest and reliable. You know exactly where you stand with your vehicles I can’t praise them enough. Just had my car in for MOT and a job well done. Also was involved in an accident in December and both Mike and Chris have… been so helpful and given such good advice and always there to help. So a massive Thankyou from myself you go above and beyond I can’t Thankyou enough. I would advise anyone to go to Claremont Garage especially single women Thankyou
