My husband has just purchased a car from this motor company. We cannot praise them enough. We contemplated several cars before buying and it was no problem to take any of them out for a test drive. When we decided on the car we wanted Chris the owner took my old vehicle as part exchange giving us what we were after. The after sale service is excellent to. Had a small issue and it was dealt with immediately with no worries. Highly recommend this company.

On a 200+ mile journey from Chester to Bournemouth we experienced some car issues. Even though it was 5pm on a Friday and they were very busy Gemma and the guys got us up on a ramp and sorted us out quickly and efficiently. Cannot explain how thankful we are. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS GARAGE!

Excellent friendly and professional service. We purchased our family car from Melbury and from the moment we viewed the car to payment and collection we were taken aback with the calm and professional approach. The aftercare service is also faultless. We will definitely buy future cars from here and recommend highly!

You'll be in very safe hands here buying your car! I don't think I can give any higher praise, particularly to Gemma who was so helpful from my first visit to me driving away with my little Fiat 500. Fantastic garage, I'm a very happy customer

Just want to say a big thank you to Chris (and Gemma) at Melbury Motor Co. Picked up a Skoda Octavia estate reserved over the phone with a small refundable deposit. Travelled 60 miles x-country and car was ready and fully valeted ahead of our arrival. Everything was advised and as per the advert - great car with lots of features at a very reasonable price. Chris was extremely courteous and attentive to everything we asked him and above all he was totally honest and open with us.
After a test drive and check of the vehicle, Chris did all the necessary paperwork and car tax. I cannot thank Chris enough for a great customer experience and super vehicle. Many thanks and best wishes for your continued success - I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from Melbury Motor Co. Regards, Mr &Mrs Dhoot

Had an excellent experience at Melbury Motor Company. Both Chris and Gemma were both very helpful and pleasant to deal with. They accommodated us and never put undue pressure on us to make the sale. Got a quality used-car and very happy with the purchase.
