Very professional and friendly environment. Also a no pressure sales technique allowed me to ensure I was getting the right van, I was able to spend as long as a I wanted checking over the van. Once i'd chosen the van I had a couple of queries before purchasing, i.e spare tyre and fuel filter - these were sourced and fitted before I picked up the van.

Fantastic Service from start to finish. Being busy myself and needing a 7.5t Lorry MOTd and Serviced I contacted the guys at Cotswold Van centre to see if they could help and also do a collection and drop off service as well. Slightly larger than the normal vehicles they see but was no trouble at all. Outstanding service. Thanks!
