Great service. We recently part exchanged and we are delighted with the car we purchased. All of the cars for sale are really tidy. The one we purchased looks virtually brand new inside and out. There are no pushy sales or gimmicks. We got a fair price for our trade in. Jerry was great, everything went as arranged and we would recommend Sandy Thain for both the standard of service and the quality of the vehicles for sale.

From entering the showroom and being greeted by Jerry in a very friendly & professional manner I knew I was buying my car. Had a test drive and loved it. When I picked it up it was gleaming and had a quick lesson on all the controls (all masked up of course). Thanks Jerry I will be coming back in a few years to exchange and will recommend to all my family & friends! Keep up the good work

I decided it was time for a change and just dropped in past for a look-see, Jerry was very helpful and a wee while later I came away with a car in the process, I had to wait a whiley due to unseen circumstances, but a short time later I collected my car and am very happy with it. Excellent service and easy to deal with. Thanks very much.

I contacted salesman Jerry 2 weeks ago with the criteria of what i wanted. Jerry sent me notification of a car that had just come in. We viewed the vehicle and decided to purchase. Collected 5 days later after the garage put 1 years mot, service and valet. Delighted with the customer service i received. Early days yet but the car appears to be working well. Will definitely come back to ST for the next car. Appreciate the service received.

Visited Sandy Thains with my family and can't praise everyone, Jerry, especially and the other gent, whose name escapes me at the moment, for their warm welcome and laid back approach. Liked a vehicle I saw, and within a few days it was mine. Minimum fuss, they did all the work, and I came home with a brand new car. Would definitely recommend anyone who is thinking about buying a second hand motor to visit Sandy Thains. Wide choice for all budgets. Thanks Jerry and the team for all your help.

I couldn't be any happier with the service I received from Sandy Thain. I would throughly recommend them. Everything went so smoothly and they communicated very well with me throughout. I am very happy with my car too. Thank you very much Jerry and Mike.
