Excellent experience buying a car from Paul. Very smooth transaction and warranty work carried out without any issues. I will definitely have Colne Car Centre at the top of my list for future purchases.

The experience of buying a car could not have been made easier. We viewed and test drove the car in the morning and it was on our drive in the afternoon. Everything was so simple and it took all the stress away. We love our new car and the price was very good and it's in excellent condition. Would recommend 100per cent!

Fantastic service from an honest and trustworthy dealer. Paul was so helpful and provided all the information asked for about the car, in fact went above and beyond! This is how car buying should be, a pleasure from start to finish and all done to my timescale and car delivered to Southend-on-Sea, when agreed. Thank you, Paul, you are a credit to the motor industry.

Paul was nothing short of outstanding. I bought a VW Golf and the service from purchase to aftercare was superb. A fault occurred where the car developed start issues which was diagnosed as the battery, Paul assisted in the cost of a replacement and the car has been excellent since. Would recommend Colne Car Centre to anyone.

Excellent service! Dealer was very open about the condition of the car (which was very good), and no 'pushy' hard-sell. Car had been MOT'd and tested for all systems working before I arrived to see it. Dealer very helpful in explaining the various systems, and when a minor fault appeared in one of them, he immediately arranged for it to be fixed there and then. All the paperwork was efficiently completed. Very friendly atmosphere throughout. I highly recommend Colne Car Centre for anyone looking for a good deal!
