Customer Reviews

What a pleasure to do business with SWMC!
We purchased our vehicle 5 days before going on holiday and explained to Zoe that we would need the vehicle to travel to the airport, the garage pulled out all stops to ensure we had the car in time.
Slight problem with a dry runner on the sunroof which was dealt with temporarily before we travelled and booked the car in on our return to carry out further maintenance work to ensure the smooth opening and closing of the sunroof.
Zoe was very informative, friendly and professional before, during and after purchase of the car.
So far, we would highly recommend SWMC for purchasing used cars, they have a wide variety of choice and are competitively priced.

Excellent service. Better than main dealer quality work at an established friendly garage. It's hard to find this sort of service at such reasonable prices.

Feras Al Obaidi
I was really pleased with the service I received. I have recently passed and am new to my vehicle, I know nothing about cars and was worried they may play on this as this happened to a friend when taking their car to Vospers. However, this was NOT the case at all, costs were explained and a lot better than what I anticipated. They made the whole experience easy for me and I couldn’t have wished for better customer service.
sophie

Recently bought a Peugeot 208, absolutley no pressue and gave you as much time as you needed to test drive and look over the car. They knew i needed the car asap so were kind enough to get it ready for collection the same day. Very good service.
Denis Collier
Buying a used car can be stressful and often a bit of a gamble, but neither of these things worried me when we bought our car from the SouthWest Service Centre. Scott, Davey and the team went above and beyond to get us the right car without any stress, and our Golf has not missed a beat! We love it!! An awesome car from a Garage that know what they are talking about:) Thank you guys:)

Louise Alexander
Had a great experience with SouthWest Motor Company (Saltash). After buying & eventually returning a undeclared CAT S car I had purchased from a dealership in London, I had seen an Audi A4 advertised through the Southwest Motor Company website. After seeing the car, it was in immaculate condition and I was reassured that the car would be given a full service, 12 months MOT and also a fresh cam belt change for piece of mind, Dale had informed me the car would not be ready for a week as it had to have the MOT, service and cambelt changed which as a happy customer I was happy with!

After the experience I have had with this company, I will be making the 1 1 hour 1/2 trip to get all service and future work done through this company on the new car.
Liam Willoughby
Bought my Kia Picanto a few months ago from them and it’s best first car I could have asked for! Done loads of miles with no problems. The owner who served me was really polite and professional and made sure that the car was serviced and spotless for me! He also renewed my MOT especially for when I picked up the car so I didn’t have to worry about it! Highly recommendable! Thank youxxxxx.
Emma Quincey
Fab service delivered today by the team at South West Motors. Second time I’ve used them but will now continue to do so for all future car issues. Very friendly team, nothing too much trouble for them and went out of their way to sort my car when it suited me even though they were very busy! Thank You!
H Brown

Lorraine Stokes
Had a short notice MOT done - thanks to excellent service by Davey in finding time to fit the car in, SWSC kept me motoring. Had time to have a look at the cars for sale - look like good quality and good prices too. Would definitely recommend to anyone based on my experience.
MrSebmeister
These guys are amazing, made buying a car easy and hassle free experience. A special mention for Davey as he was the one who helped me through the process and made sure I was happy all the way through and still now after I have brought the car is still helping me. The car is perfect and Davey helped me get my dream car. I am so happy I waited and found this garage because I will not be going anywhere else. You’re not made to feel like pound signs to them, you are made to feel important and they want the best for you. I can honestly say I would recommend this garage to anyone. When the time comes again that I need another car I will be going straight back here. Thank you so much Davey and everyone else at Southwest Motor Company.

A real pleasure to do business with. Extremely efficient, prompt getting back to me with any queries I had and just genuinely good people to deal with. Love my new car, extremely happy with it. Have no hesitation in recommending.
Cheryl Johnson
I needed a replacement car and having searched around I found this garage with a good stock line and the type of car I was after. Called up and clarified a few points and then popped in for a test drive. Decided this was the right vehicle and then Dale and the engineers did a great job in preparing it for me. I don't buy cars very often but I had great service here.
Stephen Mudge
Top service from South west motors! Friendly staff. Top quality cars I brought a mokka from them they do the MOT before you leave with the car also do anything that needs doing before you take it home. I looked around for a while before buying and by far the best customer service thank you team .

We are delighted with the service we received from Dale when purchasing our Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. As promised the vehicle is in immaculate condition and goes beautifully. It’s an absolute pleasure to own and drive. Thanks again Dale, great dealing with you
Maureen Shine
I think its a great garage very friendly and very professional. I had many problems with my car and desperately needed it sorted for work and they did it as quick as poss. I feel safe in my vehicle being a single lady going to garages are daunting but they made me feel relaxed and extremely helpful.
I recommend this garage to anyone.
