Recently purchased a wonderful example of the BMW 2 series 7-seater from Bridgend this week. The customer service has been absolutely fantastic, from a blind sale to driving off. Good communication through out, fresh MOT, fresh service, new tyres, great job on the valeting. Gerry had even gone to quite literally the extra mile and picked us up from the train station The drive back to Blackpool was without incident and Gerry's directions out of Ayrshire were spot on. Saved us going through Glasgow via the sat nav!

Traded my Mercedes Vito van for a newer one. Bridgend had various Vitos (and plenty of other things too) at a good range of prices. Mykell at Kilwinning very pleasant & efficient to deal with and not at all pushy. Van appears excellent; a couple of little snaggings were dealt with promptly, efficiently and with no quibbles. Recommended.
