The service I have received trading in my car for a brand new Civic, and switching the private plates has been outstanding. I dealt with Natalie, Manny, and Stephen who are credit to Vertu Honda. Thank you so much for your help and patience. This is my first Honda, and I'm thrilled I have found a local dealership which I really get on with.

Good morning Chris,

Thank you for your fantastic review. It’s great to hear that your experience trading in your car and moving into a brand new Civic went so smoothly. Switching private plates can sometimes feel complicated, so it’s especially pleasing to know everything was handled so well.

Natalie, Manny, and Stephen will be delighted to hear your kind words — their help and patience clearly made a real difference. We’re also really pleased you’ve found a local dealership you feel comfortable with, and we hope you continue to enjoy your first Honda.

Kind regards,
Dean

I first visited Vertu Honda in Durham to look at a Motability car i had viewed online.I was greeted by Stephen who is one of the Motability team and he showed me the car I was interested in.He offered me a test drive which I accepted and off we went.During the drive he gave me lots of information on the car and I was very impressed with the car and his knowledge.
I have just taken delivery of the car and both the car and Vertu Honda are brilliant.
I would certainly recommend this dealership and their staff after my personal experience.

VIRTU DURHAM for first class service

We were well catered for as soon as we arrived on site. Natalie introduced herself and took us through the entire journey from initial inquiry, to test drive, to assisting with placing our order. Manny stepped in to help with the process, but there was never any pressure to complete a transaction.Great service from beginning to end.

Excellent sales agent

Natalie who sold us the car was pleasant, professional and courteous. She was extremely knowledgeable which helped us in choosing the car we purchased. There was no hard sell (which I hate), just advice and recommendations. The showroom is immaculate and the cars are presented to a very high standard. I would highly recommend this garage.

From initial enquiry to ordering to collecting car nothing was a problem. Very straightforward procedure. Highly recommend Vertu Durham & Martin. Managers took time to introduce themselves to me too. Here's hoping after sales service is at same level.

Buying from Professionals

Dealing with David Hutchinson was such a pleasure. From day one he kept me fully informed of progress at each stage and was quick to respond if I had any questions.
I have never dealt with Honda Durham previously but would have no hesitation in recommending them to family and friends.
