We purchased and collected a new Ford Puma ST Line X on 26/04/2022 via Russ Bury from the Poulton Branch and found it a smooth process from beginning to end, a pleasure dealing with Russ and delighted with the car. On collection, Russ took time to fully demonstrate all aspects of the car. Peter and Jean Mayman Cottam, Preston.

I contacted the garage at 10am about purchasing the car and stressed there was an urgency as it was a 17th birthday present for my daughter that day. Within fifteen minutes Russ had contacted me, the deal was done and by three o'clock that afternoon the car was sat on my drive for a very excited daughter. Unbelievable service from a great garage and a great bloke.

Would definitely recommend using this dealership. Sales Team were very friendly and more than willing to match CarWow online pricing. A special thanks to Russ Bury who went out of his way to ensure my wife's new Puma ST was meticulously valeted and inspected prior to delivery. Will definitely be engaging with them for our general maintenance requirements.

My 1st contact with Chris Allen Garages, Fleetwood, was on 20th August 2021. I was interested in a 2017 Mercedes C300 Convertible. I spoke with Ian Penney on the phone. Arranged a time to meet him the same day to see the car. Couple of hours later deal was done. I left a deposit. From start to finish my one and only contact was the superb Ian. His demeanour, sense of humour and professionalism was outstanding!
Spending just 20min with him on the 1st day was as if I had known him all my life. Exactly 1 week later the deal was complete, with my current car gone as PX, finance sorted. Deposit done. Paperwork sorted. On the pick up day he even arranged last minute drive away insurance for me. And within 30min of arriving I was ready to leave with my new purchase. If I could give them 10stars, I'd give them 20!
Well done guys, you guys and especially Ian put faith back in the car industry! All that remains to be seen is after sales service. But I'm sure I will have zero complaints! A very happy customer! Ash Hussain
