Thankyou to Kamaal and Graham

Thankyou to Kamaal for a very efficient response to helping me get my next car sorted, all went through smoothly and quickly and Kamaal was super helpful and good with communication. Also thankyou to Graham for firstly driving a huge journey to bring my car to me - a long day it must have been! Graham was very friendly and helpful too, making the handover very simple, and bonus points that my labrador Milo appreciated Graham saying hello and making a fuss of him too! Thanks again to everyone 😊

Served by Lewis and Matt

Served by Lewis and Matt. Sales team were very professional and supported test drive as well as resolution of minor issues that I wanted dealing with prior to collection of the vehicle. Other products as part of the sale were offered, but not forced so overall sales approach felt good.

Good handover from Alan. Thank you for your assistance
I am still awaiting a refund of travel costs that were supposed to be reimbursed. They ignore emails and fob you off. Totally unacceptable

Really great experience today at Hippo Peterborough with Matt. Super professional and friendly. He helped to guide towards the extra level support that would be suitable for our needs such as warranty and shine protect. This will give us greater peace of mind for the next few years. Thanks for the great service!
