Parkside Motors

Sorry about my username. I live near Great Yarmouth, my parked car was written off hence I was in a hire car. Spent the new year with my son in Preston and was on the lookout for a replacement. Found the perfect car just 20 miles away at Parkside Motors. I sent them a message asking if I could buy it and drive away that day (Wednesday) explaining I was only here for another 5 days. They phoned up within 5 minutes and were totally honest about everything, explaining that they need to service and MOT it first, and they couldnt get it MOTd for three days (Friday, and I am going home Monday) as their MOT place is full etc. They said they didnt want to waste my time driving there if that was too long to wait, and obviously if I dont want it, they wont MOT it as they sell their cars with a full MOT. I said we would come and see the car. All I can say is that I wish more companies were like this one, its what I call old school service. People genuinely trying to do their best and help me. I loved the car (Peugeot 3008) and had a good test drive. The salesman (Graham) was superb. No pressure, no trying to get me to buy something I didnt want, basically an old school business where they care. So, I wanted the car, but obviously if it wasnt ready within 5 days, it would be no good for me. We came to an agreement (in writing), I say we came to an agreement, Graham suggest it it to me. I pay the deposit, he gets the car serviced and books the car in for its MOT (he ordered the parts for the service while I was there), when its been serviced they would take it to their MOT centre, and if it failed for any major reason ( something that isnt instantly fixable), I would get my full deposit back. Again I had this in writing. They spoke to the MOT place again while I was there, explaining my situation, MOT place said that they would try to fit it in early. It was only MOTd in August 22, but they insist on selling with a years MOT. Phoned me up Thursday to tell me its been serviced and past the MOT, I arranged to go there Friday morning. We went there Friday, (wife was with me to drive hire car), had arranged with hire car company to drop the hire car I off on the way back to Preston, we saw Warren, just as honest and nice as Graham was. We completed the sale, had it taxed etc, and had the keys/paperwork. The deal was done,I shook his hand, then I asked him where the nearest car wash was, as I had to wash my hire car before taking it back. He told me to bring the car into his yard, he then spent 15 mins washing my hire car, the car was gleaming. And he wouldnt accept a tip. (Dont forget, the sale was already completed at this point) Thats what I call service and I wish more other companies were like it. Dropped off the hire car, they inspected it, said it was so clean they could send it straight back out. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

Bill Foster. (Sorry about my google profile name) Bought a Peugeot WAV from them in July. I got a very fair trade-in and lots of advice on what to look for in a wheelchair-accessible motor. No sales pitch, no pressure, just good advice. Mark and Graham....real gents. Professional, full of knowledge, and ready and willing to make your car just right for you. I can't recommend them highly enough.....7 stars would be right! Posting this 3 months on....absolutely delighted with our motor. Would recommend Parkside to anybody looking for a wheelchair-accessible car or van.

Buying a wheelchair adapted car for the first time, I was very apprehensive. Mark and Graham were wonderful, they listened to my concerns and wish list and found the perfect vehicle for us! I can highly recommend Parkside Motors. Outstanding service. Thank you
