    Brilliant!
    Felt compelled to write a review after the experience we had. Me and my partner viewed the car on the Saturday and both fell in love with the car (BMW 530D XDrive), it was in beautiful condition inside and out. We met Stuart who showed us around the car, explaining the extra features. He also gave us time to look around the vehicle on our own, which was a nice touch. We decided there and then the car was for us, he went through the finance options and a few days later we picked up the car! From start to finish it was a fantastic experience, would happily make the 2/3 hour journey again to buy a car from Stuart & his brother again!

      Audi TTS I phoned up to enquire about this car and then showed up for a look and a test drive. The car was stunning inside and out, absolutely spotless. Had a test drive in it and it was great. I explained I was two weeks away from having the funds and that was no problem, £100 deposit was good enough to hold the car, and I noticed the advert on his website was changed to deposit taken straight away and the auto trader advert removed. There were no sales tactics at all and I was left alone to look it over as well. The day of purchase came and Stuart even offered to pick me up as I was about 15 miles away, however I had arranged for a friend to give me a lift. The transaction was easy and Stuart set up my tax and insurance on his PC. He explained the 6 month warranty and printed out its full Audi service history and I was all good to drive away. As you can imagine I've spent a few days doing a lot of driving and the car is exceptional. I didn't even haggle the price as I believe I have a very good quality car from a very reputable dealer. Thank you Stuart for the high spec car that I have always wanted. David Thomas

                Excellent service from Stuart, the help I recieved went above and beyond what I would expect from any car dealer or main dealer. No pressure sales and the quality of all the cars in the showroom were impeccable, hats off to James, the car was that clean and well prepped I didn't want to take it out of the showroom! I'm one for aways seeing a car in the flesh before buying, but after seeing the standard of cars on offer here, I really wouldn't hesitate agreeing a purchase without seeing it first, they are honestly that good.. go see for yourself! Very happy with my purchase and when I need to change cars in the future, I will hope Stuart has the model I'm looking for as I know I won't be let down.

                  Excellent experience - Audi S5
                  Travelled 2 1/2 hours to view this car and wasn’t disappointed. The vehicle was in excellent condition, professionally valeted, and exactly as described. Stuart and James were a pleasure to do business with, no pressure sales just good old fashioned honesty and courtesy. Exactly what you would expect from a family run business with individuals who are extremely passionate about top quality cars. An hour later I was driving home with a huge smile on my face in my new car. Traded in my vehicle, and was given a very fair price. Cannot recommend highly enough, truely 5 star experience. Thank you guys, another very happy customer 👍

                      Great service and amazing car, how it should be.
                      From start to finish I was very impressed with the service. I’ve searched for many months for a fully loaded 435D Xdrive GC and found it here. I travelled 200 miles and took 4 trains to get the car and wasn’t disappointed. The car was by far the best presented I have ever seen. Absolutely spotless and everything you want when purchasing a high end car. All of their stock was immaculate. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or go back to this garage 10/10

                        Excellent and professional. Very impressed!
                        Excellent service. Was very impressed by the number of photos available as well as the comprehensive video supplied. Everything was handled professionally and they even delivered car to me personally. Will definitely look to use them again when I next buy a car although it will be a while as I can’t see me getting bored with the TTS for a long time :-)

                          Essex Automotive were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The car was have picked and prepared to the highest standard. I am very specific with what I am looking, there really was no comparative vehicle available so the journey was worth every mile and the buying experience matched the vehicle. Thanks you for the time and effort getting everything right.

                              Essex car sales was one of the best show rooms I’ve dealt with after an extensive history with buying cars and I look forward to dealing with them in the future. The whole process was effortless and the service second to none.

                                Fantastic service from start to finish. Thoroughly professional from Stuart - a genuine, honest and trustworthy guy. No hard sell , knows his stuff and was just keen to help every step of the way. The car was really well marketed and the pictures on the website of such good quality that I knew exactly what I was buying. I travelled 450 miles for the car and didnt have a single worry - when I arrived, the car looked even better! James had obviously worked so hard to ensure it was beautifully presented inside and out. In short, a great family business which I’d have no hesitations in recommending. The drive back up to Scotland was certainly great fun. Thanks again to both of you. Very pleased!

                                    Great experience purchasing an M5.
                                    Recently purchased a 2016 M5 after researching the market for several weeks, the car was brilliantly marketed and was in exceptional condition with a great providence, which is important for this kind of vehicle. The purchasing process was easy and professional with Stuart being very patient and non-pushy. Great experience in an industry which can be a bit of minefield, highly recommended, well run family business.

Great bit of customer service before the point of sale and just as good during point of sale! Every effort was made to make my experience easier and i thoroughly enjoyed collecting my new M240. From the first video i watched of the car to the final handover of the keys it was a delightful experience!

                                                    I bought this car [Audi RS3 ] without viewing it because of location and covid-19 lockdown and went on the dealers word and other communications from him alone. He went above and beyond in easing any doubts and the car could not have been described and presented any better had it been brand new. Highly recommend Essex Automotive

If ever I wanted to buy another car I can honestly say I wouldn’t have to make the journey again as their cars are so well prepared. The whole experience was effortless and made fun and easy. Theres no pushy sales as the cars speak for themselves.

                                                              Even though I am currently stuck outside of the UK, the Essex Automotive team made my purchase straight forward and stress free. There was no pushy sales pitch, they let the quality of their vehicle sell itself to me with their superb attention to detail! My Partner collected the car for me and was well looked after during the whole sale. They even sent me a video so that I could see my car leaving their showroom which I thought was an amazing little gesture! I was worried about trying to distance buy, but the process was made so simple, I may as well have been living next door! Thank you Essex Automotive for my beautiful car and my stress-free experience.

He then went over and beyond for the handover helping me with countless bits and pieces including getting my private plates made up with no charge i definitely recommend him to anyone who sees anything of interest from his showroom. I purchased an immaculate inside and out CLS 63 S AMG and I’m loving it.

                                                                    The photos and videos of the car were excellent and showed to car to be immaculate and I can absolutely positively say, it was flawless. I was very comfortable looking around the car and was offered a torch and mat to kneel on to look under the car properly. At no time did I feel under pressure and the whole experience was very laid back. All the cars in the showroom looked pristine. You can tell that these brothers are proud of their business. The seller was very knowledgeable of all this cars features and he made me feel very relaxed. The test drive route was good and demonstrated the car well. I wanted to part exchange my car and they offered me a very good price for it. I felt like these guys were honest and it was a pleasure doing a deal with them. The car prices reflect the quality of what they are selling, completely worth it. I traveled 80 miles to view this car and I’m glad I did. I would 100% recommend buying from them.

                                                                        Essex Automotive Ltd is a very professional, friendly service selling high quality cars whilst presenting great offices, facilities and easy access to the cars. The team had my car ready for viewing when I arrived and were able to give me a 1:1 service meaning all my questions were answered as well as being able to have a genuine and knowledgeable conversation. This is the best car buying experience I have ever had and commend the team on a great business model. A special thank you has to go to Jess who looked after my 4 year old daughter whilst we completed the sale/paperwork.

                                                                          Absolutely Brilliant, it was a wet and windy day and all the cars were inside nicely laid out, the showroom was clean and tidy . We was welcomed by Stuart who showed us the models we had in mind. We looked at a BMW X3 M Sport in the morning then phoned Stuart for a test drive in the afternoon, then bought it on Monday. I’m a great believer that people buy from people and Stuart was genuine guy, very helpful and made the purchase very easy, he even stayed late so I could pick it up Monday evening. If you are looking for a car I would recommend you keep an eye on Stuart`s stock and visit Essex Automotive Ltd. Thanks again Stuart.

If any potential buyers from Essex Automotive have doubts regarding the photos and descriptions of their stock ....... Don’t! These guys really know how to present a car and really know how to buy superb used examples for re sale. Every single car they stock is pristine inside and out thanks to their on site detailing. I saw an ad for the car I was after and arranged a viewing. Wow, this car looked newer than new! Although it is 4 years old, it is immaculate to the finest detail. Even the engine bay looked amazing. Stuart showed me around the car, gave me the paperwork to study and I paid my deposit. I picked the car up 2 days later and am one happy motorist. There was no pushy sales talk and nor should there be as the vehicles on sale virtually sell themselves. The after sales service is second to none also. (Stuart even purchased a set of new wiper blades for me even though I’d had the car a week!) Thanks Essex Automotive, loving the car!

                                                                                  I was looking for a BMW 335d TOURING and found exactly the 1 at Essex Automotive so I called them and spoke to the Salesman who answered all of my questions. I decided to go ahead so paid a deposit on the car. My wife and I hired a car 1 way from Swansea a 250mile trip. Salesman picked us up from the car hire depot and took us to Essex Automotive.I couldn’t believe the condition of the car as it was exactly as Salesman had described to me over the phone. I took it for a test drive and was very happy so returned and the Salesman made us a nice cup of tea while he sorted out the finance. I have purchased many vehicles from other car dealers but this was by far the best and most stress free and relaxing experience. Nothing was too much trouble. I would definitely purchase a car from here again and also I would highly recommend Essex Automotive to anyone. Thank you very much. Peter and Gail from Swansea

What they do not know about BMW's is not worth knowing and the cars are in exceptional condition and brilliantly detailed. I will be back bringing them more business in the future.

One was detailing a new car they had in stock with meticulous precision. The car that I had gone to see was in amazing condition and I instantly knew I was going to purchase it. At no point did either of the chaps try to hard sell the vehicle, very down to earth friendly team with a great range of cars to choose from. If I would go for another car my first choice would be to reach out to these chaps again to try and source for me. One final thing, the fact that they park the cars on mats and not on the epoxy floor just goes to show how much effort they put in the detail of having the cars above market standard to satisfy their customers. Keep up the great work guys you truly are a credit to your industry.

After an extensive test drive in which Stuart explained the many features on the car I was left to make a decision in my own time. I then purchased the car from this family run business and it has to be said the whole experience was a pleasure from start to finish. I cannot recommend Essex Automotive enough, highly professional and very friendly even with their after sales service. Many thanks to Stuart,James and Jess.
