I bought a car from here a few weeks ago. I had an issue with the car that could never have been foreseen soon after collection but one phone call later the car was booked in to have the problem rectified. I was so happy with the service. The owner was only too helpful and made everything so easy. I would definitely recommend Stour Valley car sales!

Thank you Kevin for all your kind professional help. It was a pleasure to do business with you. I note a person, in a previous review alleged you as a "dodgy dealer," in my opinion, you are a "diamond geezer" and, I love my car. I would thoroughly recommend you to anybody who asks me. As a small business, you are the perfect go to guy and once again, thank you.

Was sold a faulty vehicle, salesman was very reluctant to fix any problems, as soon as a refund was requested the salesman was extremely rude and intimidating to the female who was just trying to get the issue resolved. Very poor customer service, no need for sarcastic and facetious remarks from a presumably middle aged man. Unfortunately, you cannot provide 0 star reviews. 1 star is extremely generous.
EDITED:
In response to the salesman's comments: The review could not be more genuine and honest, if anybody would like some evidence: rude and obnoxious text messages from the salesman to the

This week I brought a car from Keith at stout valley sales. And I must say he was very helpful and polite. I would recommend him to my friends.
