Would not recommend. No customer service whatsoever. You can never get through Always ask to call back, advertise stock that has been sold month's before. Why do you advertise stock for months that has already been sold? I know you have an external call centre who have no real idea what is going on.

Thanks Julian and all at Chris Hodge, for an easy and successful purchase of another vehicle from yourselves, to add to our Silver FORS fleet. Extremely pleased with service, start to finish, and after sales second to none. Looking forward to receiving our new 18ton rigid flatbed. Thanks again from Ian, Peter and all at Thamesway Transport
