Bought a car for my wife 18mths ago. Fab car, fair price. Excellent customer service. Very friendly, helpful, and even put full MOT on the car as it only had a few months left, tyres were advised, and knowing the children were going to be in the vehicle, they replaced those too. I've now gone back to buy another car - upgrading my own. Highly recommended.

An excellent car buying experience. Looking at the website you get a feel for the authenticity of this small, local car dealer - established well over 50 years ago and still trading from the same location and run by the same family says it all. From the initial contact, virtual car viewing, test drive & subsequent purchase John Abbott provided an extremely high level of service ensuring that our experience was an enjoyable and positive one. The car was superbly presented, far better than one we had been very disappointed by at a local main dealer, and with the reassurance of a very personal touch

Great service from John at Albert Abbott Motors. I purchased a small car which developed a minor fault shortly after the C-19 crisis started, but although the showroom was closed they arranged a warranty repair with a local garage as soon as possible. Lots of people are good at selling cars, but it's the aftersales service that counts. First on my list to check out when it's time to upgrade.
