Can't thank these guys enough. My wife was looking to upgrade her car, she gave them her spec, which wasn't easy and they sourced exactly what she needed! And as a bonus they delivered, about a 300 mile trip, collected her old car, all at no extra cost! You don't get that service at many places these days. Highly recommended and will use again. Thanks guys.

Bought a 2011 Renault Laguna estate and had great customer service. They have been really friendly and professionally, after raising concerns they were very quick to react and very helpful. Even when the vehicle broke down they were there to help out and organised getting the vehicle back to their local garage to get worked on.
Sadly I've bought a car which has some problems but S J Poulton couldn't of known that and they have been very helpful.

Bought a toyota yaris recently. Absolute pristine condition. S J Poulton sent videos and measured the depth of the tyres which not many dealers do! They also did a fresh MOT and were very transparent in everything they said. I highly recommend S J Poulton if you are looking to buy a car. I've dealt with a few dealers in my time but S J Poulton were without a doubt the best and most professional people I have come across. 5 Stars!!!!

Have just purchased an MX5 from the guys here, the buying experience was smooth and trouble free. When I viewed the car it had full MOT with a couple of advisories on it, without asking I was told that all these would be sorted prior to be taking ownership, which they were. Would recommend them, they are not the usual pushy salesmen so a pleasure to do business with.
