Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 142 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the staff for being exceptionally helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, making every single interaction remarkably pleasant, reassuring, and informative from the very beginning. Many consumers note that the vehicle buying process is handled with complete transparency, remaining smooth, well-organized, stress-free, and entirely free of any aggressive sales tactics. However, some reviewers were not happy with the quality of after-sales support and the perceived issues with the service documentation provided. A few other people also felt that certain mechanical problems were overlooked prior to vehicle collection and proved extremely difficult to get resolved afterwards.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, Rik had a wicked sense of humour that made the whole process seamless. Car MOT done before we collected it, even the tiny additional bits. We would 100% recommend.

Had a great experience buying my latest car, James at cars under is great, not your typical salesman as he isn’t pushy, very relaxed and knowledgeable.

Cheers Guys! See you again in the future!

From Cortney, To Adam!!

I bought my first car from cars under 3000 and they were brilliant now 2 years later I am back for my 2nd car. Talking with Adam Hogan has been nothing but smooth sailing, i originally went in to view a couple cars and think about it but after a test drive and talking to Adam i was sold, I pick this up Thursday and couldn’t be happier with how it went. Adam was very easy to talk to and such a big help.

Who knows, I may be back for my third when needed. Thank You Adam!!

A no-hassle, worry free experience with Josh

A no-hassle, worry free experience.

I recently purchased an Audi A1 from Josh and the team at Cars Under 3k and it couldn’t have been a better experience. Also sorted out some things for the car for free which was an added bonus. Overall an amazing service for buying my first car! Would 100% use again in the future.

10/10!

We’ve had many cars from here over the years and every time we are always impressed with the customer service and friendliness as well as the selection and quality of cars. Super knowledgeable guys who help make buying a new car easy as well as exciting. This particular occasion, Josh was our sales guy and he physically couldnt have been more helpful if he tried.
