• Good garage very good staff

  Tom Lyth from Richard Hardie Newcastle

  What an easy and relaxed experience! Having been warned by all and sundry, that as a woman alone I would be patronised, ripped off, treated with condescention, I was so happy to come home to prove everyone so very wrong. Tony was a lovely young gentleman, friendly, chatty, approachable, cordial, relaxed. There was no 'hard sell', no attempts to bully me into buying extras, no sense of pressure, I was given a fair deal, a lovely car, and all completed so swiftly and seamlessly. Tony even managed to remain chirpy and polite during my test drive, which wasn't the smoothest, poor fella! All staff included my young son in conversation, making him feel valued and part of the process. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful experience was actually very pleasant. Tony and the rest of the team were all good spirited, refreshingly happy, welcoming, amiable and genial young men, even with a strange old woman such as myself. Hopefully not for a long time, but I shall definitely use this company again.

• I have purchased 3 Fiat 500 from this dealership and have always been impressed with staff knowledge and customer service, The service department are also great supplying courtesy car or a lift to work when my car has been in for service. I would recommend this dealership.

• Fantastic service from my local branch of Richard Hardie as usual. I have been buying my car's and taking them back for service ever since the branch opened way back when (before that it was Gainmanor). That's quite a few car's now. Peter my salesman kept me well informed and gave me the use of a courtesy car while i waited for mine to arrive . I look forward to coming back next year to meet the excellent service team again (who always give me a lift to work while they have my car). I always recommend this branch to my friends and family
