Excellent service received once again from John Darke. I called the Service Dept this morning regarding an issue with our car. They were quick to respond and sort the car out. Customer loyalty is very important to them this is why we always stay local!

Spoke to a sales man by the name of Mark Remnant. He was wonderful, straight to the point, very professional and one thing that goes unnoticed was how smooth purchasing a car and transferring over via John Darke was very seamless, I’m thankful to Mark for putting me in a great car and even better time at John Darke's

Great helpful and friendly staff on the service desk. In my opinion went above and beyond to help us out. We picked this dealership based on reviews and we’re not disappointed. We will definitely be using them again after this experience for our other Ford cars in the family

By far the best place to buy a car this is the second car I have brought from them the first car was back in 2017 and it lasted me until 2025 but unfortunately I had a accident in the car so I had to get a new car so I went back to this garage to find this Ford Ecosport It was lovely all around inside and out you can’t find a scratch on it and it drives lovely. The Sales Executive, Paul Canvin, was great and helped throughout the process of selling the car to me and because he knew I had no car he didn’t mess around and got everything sorted with the finance and got the car ready very quickly for me to collect within a few days and I was given a 12 pack of Birra Moretti and some fuel put into the car thanks for everything
