Incredibly impressed with the honest, fast, friendly, and quality of service from bear street garage. I normally would use the bigger ford dealer, but never again! You get a lot better personal service here which doesn't break the bank! Thanks so much

I purchased a vehicle through Bear Street Garage. One month into ownership the car developed a very minor fault and Gary was only too happy to help me rectify this. The car was priced fairly and the service i received was extremely good. A very honest and and genuine car dealership.
