Recently bought a Mazda C3 here. Andrew Arthur handled everything and he is really friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. All of the staff are helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The sale went smoothly from start to finish. I will be keeping my car for a few years now but will continue to use Dale's for services etc. I highly recommend them.

Looking for a used car is never an easy project but on meeting with Dan Cooper at Dales Seat, he made every effort to make sure we were happy with our purchase. Nothing was too much trouble, and it was gratifying to deal with a someone of such a pleasant disposition. He is a credit to the position he holds.
