Purchased a Ford Transit Custom from AutoWheels, amazing service, great van and they extended the warranty for me. When I had an issue with the van I contacted AutoWheels and even though I live over 200 miles away they got the problem resolved! I cannot recommend them highly enough, polite professional service, I will use them again without doubt.

Where do I start....We bought a what looked to be a very nice vehicle from Auto Wheels, which came with the standard warranty. There were a few issues with the vehicle that were supposedly put right and rectified by Auto Wheels mechanic, but upon first MOT inspection it was brought to our attention that these issues were never rectified and we have been driving around in an unsafe vehicle. Also, their communication skills leave a lot to be desired. They are very quick to take your hard earned money but very slow to keep their promises. I would strongly advise against purchasing a car from Auto

I bought a Nissan from these guys. Service from start to finish was fantastic, the car was absolutely immaculate when I turned up, exactly as described. I would highly recommend and I will certainly purchase future cars from these guys.

Billy and the staff at Autowheels helped to make our dreams come true! We bought a stunning VW Campervan from them. Faultless transaction and they could not have been more helpful if they tried. Clear communication from start to finish and even delivered the vehicle 300 miles to our door. Spotless with all documentation. So nice to do business with them. Top bananas!
