We bought our 15 year old, low mileage Peugeot Partner from Grange 5 months ago but waited until now so we could talk about after sales. We liked Tony from the beginning and we are delighted with the vehicle. It is as clean, tidy and reliable as Tony promised it would be. We think this was a great value purchase and that we have found a car dealer we can trust. Grange is not near our home but well be going back there first the next time we need a vehicle. Thanks Tony

Totally stress-free process of buying a car from Tony, really genuine and helpful from start to finish. The car has been great and came with fresh MOT and warranty! Would recommend Grange Car Sales to anyone! Thanks so much!!

Rare to find! Helpful not pushy! Tony and his dad are honest and go above and beyond to find you the perfect vehicle . I bought a Peugeot combi van for my business and it has been absolutely fantastic. Any small niggles have been sorted (even though I struggled to get time to take it back and was out of warranty) Nothing and is too much trouble! I will be going back for my next vehicle without a doubt.
Cheaper than comparative vehicles and with excellent service and after care
