Only place I could get spare parts at short notice.(2 days). Helpful. organised in there. went in for parts. Not to buy a car. I could have got brand parts a little cheaper. But not within timescale reqd. All in all pretty good.

Highly recommended! Concerned initially around doing a distance purchase as I live 100 miles from the dealership. I need not have worried! Guided every step of the way by Robin Walmsley during purchase, who was approachable, friendly and prompt in reply to query/concern making whole experience worry free. Car delivered to door, quality vehicle, as described in excellent video presentation by Robin. Definitely will use again. Thanks all!

A very pleasant experience buying a new car with J S Holmes. Robin was brilliant the whole process, from arranging my test drive, answering my questions and preparing the car ready for me. Loving my new mini so far and felt so confident buying from here as the car came with a full service, mot and a year's warranty.
