First class service from the first phone call, to the delivery of the car, test drive was a very good experience used different roads to get a feel for the car, very friendly and honest staff, nothing was to much trouble, the bouquet of flowers was a nice surprise upon delivery of the vehicle, at the show room the hot chocolate was lovely, would definitely recommend this garage, and would definitely buy a car in the future, give them a call you won’t be disappointed

The staff at John Darke Ltd are always pleasant and helpful. The service was done in good time, and I was sent a link to a video of the car inspection. A damaged tyre was found, which I had not noticed. I was sent quotes for a replacement tyre, and the one I chose was fitted the same day
