Contacted Paul Wooding at John Darkes and asked if he could source me a BMW M340i with a good spec, he sent me multiple options and I told him the one I liked. Within few days the car was at the dealership where it had been thoroughly checked for anything that wasn’t right and then it was ready for me to pickup. The handover process was made as easy as possible especially considering I don’t have a history of buying cars and not a lot of knowledge when it comes to finance. The car was handed over to me by Mike Fenton who was incredibly helpful, did all the paperwork and then he gave me an in depth explanation of how to use the BMW I drive system. Overall an easy experience and will definitely be back. Massive thank you to Paul Wooding and Mike Fenton for their help

The service I received at the dealer was excellent in all areas. I especially liked the video that the technician sent me about the general checks and advice that were carried out on my vehicle. It was also a nice surprise to find they'd washed my car. Thank you.

My local Ford dealer John Darkes of Louth are always over exceeding expectation. Both the service and parts departments are a credit to deal with. Always available to dispense professional, curious advise and an outstanding level of service that you just don’t see these days in the motor industry. The guys there like Vicki, Dan, Connor and Ethan are true ambassadors of the company
