Picked up my new to me Kia Sorento Titan from Independent Cars last week. Fantastic service from this company from start to finish. Love the car to bits and I can't recommend IC highly enough. Good luck for your continued success!
Nichola Grimshaw
Who needs big name garages to buy a car from. Independent Cars were amazing from start to finish. Michelle felt like more like a friend than a salesperson and she couldn't have been more helpful if she had tried. I felt 100% confident buying my new car from them. Would recommend to anyone.

I got my Audi A6 used car here last Sunday and my whole experience was perfect. I bought the car without seeing it in the flesh as i live in Edinburgh and Michelle my sales person and point of contact was 1st class. When i picked the car up i could not beleive the condition it was in and i cannot recommend Independent cars and Michelle enough .love my new motor and will definitely be back there for my next car. Thanks Gary locke.
