Paddy Barry was the total professional
Paddy Barry was the total professional, friendly not not overbearing, knowledgeable about every aspect of the vehicle I enquired about and went on to purchase.
I had been monitoring stock for weeks and jumped when the right spec and price landed.
This is the first purchase from these guys but given my total satisfaction won’t be the last.
Top notch Paddy - thanks

Bought my 16th car from Acklam Car Centre yesterday, dealt with Liam as always.
Got me the best deal on my C63 and the process was so so easy for me.
Liam acting on my behalf handed my old car back to the finance company under the voluntary termination agreement.
The only problem i have now is the wife wants to move house as i only live across the road from the Showroom. 😂😂

Fantastic service.
Called in on spec unannounced one Sunday morning and left Joe with a brief idea what i was looking for, fast forward 1 week and a fantastic GTS Targa was sourced & deal done. Highly recommend Joe and all the staff at Acklam cars who performed a 5 star service throughout from initial face to face meeting to handover.
