Ive just recently purchased a beautiful car from Tony at Saabcarthe experience from start to finish was phenomenal. For years I have purchased cars from New car dealerships and Ive never had the service that Tony and the team have given me. From start to finish the communication and attention to detail was 1st class and I couldnt recommend Tony and his team highly enough
I have no doubt that the 1st class service and attention to detail will be there when I take it for servicing. I sound like a stuck record but I couldnt recommend this garage highly enough.

My car was needed complete over hauling. Car was not in use for twenty months and parked on driveway. Needed towed away. Inside was very dirty, outside colour faded, moss grown. Now it's like new car. Inside like new, outside polished so well, shining like new. Every point I was kept informed about all work, fee, condition. I am very pleased all round work, fee, courtesy and after support.

Id highly recommend Sarbkar. Tony, Jan, Dave and the team were brilliant from the minute I took my car in. They not only fixed the issue, but they dealt with the garage Id bought the car from as well as my warranty company, saving me time and money. They were super professional and kept me updated at every stage meaning I really felt like I benefitted from their extensive experience. Thanks, Tony and team!
