Honestly cannot recommend this place enough. Tony is present enough to be available to answer questions but gives you plenty of space so you don't feel like you're getting the usual salesman spiel, which I really appreciated. I know nothing about cars, but the couple of minor issues I've had since getting my car have been fixed quickly and explained so I knew what was going on without them being patronising. Honestly can't thank you enough!

Tony and Peter were brilliant from start to finish. Knowledgeable, Welcoming, respectful and happy to answer all my questions, there were a lot, they we're also flexiable in being around a little later and allowing me to come back and test drive my fiat panda once again. Safe to say I left with my first car and couldn't be happier. Would highly recommend, and will be going back in the future.

I've bought two vehicles from Grange Car Sales and both have been excellent. Tony & Peter are very helpful and the cars are always clean & tidy. When I had a slow oil drip on one of the vehicles I bought, Tony was very quick to help and arrange the repair and got it turned around quickly which is a good peace of mind when buying a used car. Can't really fault the service, will likely be back again if I want another car. 5*.

Absolutely fantastic customer service buying my first car, Tony talked me through everything I needed to know, the car was clearly fully serviced and cleaned as it was absolutely spotless. All issue happened with the car after a few days of bringing it home (could not have been prevented), Tony went out of his way to come and collect the car (half an hour drive away) take it back, repair it and return it within 24 hours. Would 100% consider coming back when i upgrade the car.
