We found Merv Hannam via Auto Trader, liked the Sport Range Rover, arranged everything over the phone, buying and part exchanging, so a bit of a gamble. After driving for 2 hours, as promised a beautifully presented car was awaiting us, with no fuss, an easy transaction, we purchased our new car. I am so delighted with the professional service we received, a perfect car, which has been everything promised to us and more. We will be returning back to complete the same smooth process. Thanks chaps.

Bought a Range Rover Sport from Merv Hannam without viewing, everything was as Alex described, excellent car. Delivered FOC within a few days.
Just had an issue with jammed piston and calliper (wouldn't have been known when sold), which was handled immediately, and without question. Rare to find such an honest, reliable Car dealership, with a warranty to match! Exemplary service. Will be back!

Viewed a Porsche Panamera remotely via video, agreed a fair price and ordered car. Delivered up to Edinburgh 4 days later by a very courteous driver. Car exactly as described and very pleased with it. Missing a 2nd key and Alex, as promised arranged a replacement sent direct to me by Porsche. Great service and distance no problem when you can trust the garage.
No hesitation in recommending even when you cant get down to see a car.

Purchased a Range Rover Evoque in October 2019 and part exchanged my Mercedes C220. Wished I hadn't as the turbo blew up in July this year. It cost me just shy of 3k to rectify/replace. During this time the computer also flagged up that there was an issue with the front brakes. I was assured the front discs and pads were done prior to me purchasing. Unfortunately whoever Merv Hanam got to do the brakes didn't replace the brake sensor wires.
I rang to inform them about the turbo and that I was very disappointed as have only done 4k in the car since purchasing. I also informed that one of the hoses

I have bought a couple of cars through Nick at Merv and recently experienced a small issue with my wheels. The car was booked back in and corrected as a matter of urgency. First class service at all times. Highly recommend.
