Can't find any faults with Kintore cars. From the minute entered till the moment I left I was treated with the upmost curtesy. Never felt pressured. David did everything required from day one and car was in pristen condition when picked up. Highly recommended.

Great Service from James with regard to buying cars from him, including trade in prices being very fair. KCS is up there with main dealers with sales + servicing needs. Highly knowledgeable especially in sales & service, will be buying again! Thanks KCS!

I bought my Mercedes AMG from James a few months ago and now feel it is time to review the fantastic service I received and the quality of the car I purchased. James is not your usual car salesman, he is genuine and listens to what you are looking for when buying a car and takes into consideration the budget you have for buying your car. He is not a pushy salesman and answers all questions honestly.
He also allowed me to test drive the car, twice, and his after sales support was fantastic. The car is exactly what I wanted and a little bit more. Eventually, when it is time for me to change my vehicle

I approached James at Kintore Car Sales asking him to let me know if any vehicles became available that matched what I was looking for. James was happy to keep an eye out for me and he let me know that he would be interested in buying my current vehicle if I had seen another car for sale elsewhere. This ended up being the case and after being left disappointed by the trade in value offered from the garage I was buying my new car from, James subsequently offered me a competitive price for my vehicle, which was more than what some online sites were offering. The transaction was quick and very easy
