After less than one year, our car is useless. Not only over this period we had to bring the car to the engineer at least 4 times, but last week we found out that the car has got an issue with the oil system and that, due to the repair cost, it would be more convenient to buy a new car instead.two different engineers told us this particular problem was already present in the car before our purchase.

Highly recommend onions car Ltd. Honest and trusted car dealers. Answered questions after questions totally looked after from start to finish Richard took me through the whole process from viewing to final purchase. I will be using onions cars in future and recommending to all to pay them a visit. One very happy customer. Five star plus.

Have had a couple of cars from Onions over the years and always had my services done by them. They are friendly helpful and honest. They are by far the best work shop in the area. Would reckonmend them to anyone. 10 out of 10.

Recently I have purchased a vehicle from onion cars. *I got great service *value for money *and more than what I asked for. There was a few minor issue that was quickly resolved. Totally happy with the service and experience I received from Richard and would happily recommend him.

This is an honest family run business - how refreshing in the car trade these days! Richard and his Dad David were so helpful when I bought my car from them in April. The car is excellent, I felt very looked after and they have continued to support me by answering my silly questions ever since! When the brake light went out they replaced it swiftly and made it seem like no trouble at all when they had to order in the part.

They also kindly gave me a reverse camera when I inquired about which one would be compatible and threw in a can of their airfreshener when I commented how nice the car smelled! Even though I live quite a long way from the garage, I shall return here for future MOTs as it is so worth it to receive such excellent customer service from people I know I can trust.

I have purchased several cars from Mr Onion and his Garage. To say I have been delighted with each, would be an understatement. Mr Onion and his family do business like it used to be done and how it still should be today. The vehicles have always been immaculate and Onion Cars offer a wonderful service driven by Mr Onion as well as his family. I would highly recommend Onion Cars Ltd to anyone looking to buy a high quality used car. We will most definitely be back once it's time for a replacement!

Lovely guys, Richard was really helpful when I was choosing my first car and has continued to advise and support with a couple of niggles I had which I will say is a common manufacturers fault and nothing at all to do with Onions Cars. Very honest folk with a genuine interest in their customers. A real family feel where nothing is too much to ask for. Highly recommended.
