I called to get part numbers for Nissan Cabstar filters as this branch is used by our Nottingham depot for parts. As we are plant hire company we will be doing the service our self but because the vehicle is in warranty still, must have genuine Nissan filters fitted. I was told its Sandicliffe company policy to not give out any manufacturer part numbers, so I asked how can I order filters if I have no part number to know what I'm ordering? She said if I tell her what filters I want, she will just order them for me. She then explained that they don't post them though, so I would have to drive from

One of the best experiences I have had in buying a car from these guys. Thank you Mike Sorrel and Roy Cooper for all your help. Will definitely be back when the time comes to renew my car.

These guys are the best customer service you will find, friendly, funny and professional, nothing is too much and they go above and beyond, even the kids think they're cool! They deserve so much more credit than they get, wouldn't go anywhere else for a car cause that kind of service is hard to come by, feel like they really care for you as a person and not a number on a sales sheet, top class.

Had a service plan booked with Sandicliffe, having previously had one with Nissan Leicester. Took the car in for a major service. Experienced no problems. Staff friendly and helpful and other than a slight glitch when they couldn't find us on the system (good job we took our confirmation paperwork along) all was well. Thumbs up to Carl and Glenn.

Mike was superb in sorting out us a new car. Without Mike this place would fall under. Great experience from start to finish. However,
No free warranty is rubbish from a dealership, you get a 3mth warranty for no extra cost at most independent garages, only very pricey warranties available here. Would expect a 3mth warranty at no extra cost after handing over 10k plus. Car was also missing a few minor interior items which I was told was not on that trim, despite showing other models with the same trim having them present.
