Excellent customer service throughout the process of purchasing a van. Van was thoroughly cleaned and checked before it was handed over to me. Very professional and friendly experience. Probably one of the best experiences I have had when purchasing a vehicle!

Not happy after finding a leak but because the car was 14 years old he said it was fit for use even though I paid 6500 for it.
