You can drive in and park on site. We deal directly with Santander Motor Finance so you don't have to wait for the cheque to clear. This means that you can take delivery of your car straight away. It's simple, safe and convenient. Scott who dealt with us closed the office to take us for a test drive as he was on his own in the office that day. This could easily have cost him business, but we were treated as his priority.

My husband had been looking for a car for few weeks for my 40th present .The lighthouse car centre were quick and efficient with replying back to messages when asking for details .When we went in to buy Scott was very professional right down to point of making sure the car was to a top standard before he let us pick it up .
Would definitely recommend.

We discovered Lighthouse by chance, passing one day whilst we were looking for a car. We went in & spoke with a lovely salesman called Scott who talked us through all the vehicles within our budget. He was very friendly and helpful, not at all pushy, just gave us the space to explore the options and see if anything felt right. As people who don’t really know much about cars he was able to talk us through the specs of the one we liked. We test drove the car and walked away with it that very same day. Quite unexpectedly.. a really great experience - especially compared with some other local garages

I would like to recommend this Lighthouse Car Centre which is the best car trader within the area. We have already had an excellent experience twice. When we needed to purchase a car in June 2021, we knew exactly where to go because we'd had a very professional, pleasant and friendly experience in the past. There is no doubt that John and Scott are excellent and very keen to help their customers. We were very satisfied and so we want to share our experience with you all 🙏 We will definitely use your services in the future. Veronika & Zed ❤

Can not recommend Lighthouse Car Centre enough!! Absolutely outstanding customer service, i felt so comfortable and at ease here, everyone I met was so friendly, I didn't once feel pressured into buying a car. Scott was so helpful, answered all the questions I had, he also managed my car loan and did all the necessary paperwork which was a massive help.
Extremely pleased with the service here and will 100% be recommending them to others.

Not a bad word to say about my experience at Lighthouse. Scott made the purchase of my car stress free from the moment we stepped on the forecourt. He sorted the car out super quick for it to be ready to collect, and was always contactable while we were waiting, I had 100% trust in him throughout.
Great customer service and we wouldn't hesitate to go back in future 👍 Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience with Lighthouse car centre 2 years back and it has not changed this time as well. The customer care team ( especially Scott) are very welcoming, warm and helpful. I felt very comfortable in discussing my needs and they listened carefully and gave me very suitable choices. Scott efficiently managed my car loan and did all the necessary paperwork. He advised me with honest intent and kept all possible options open from his end. I am very pleased with the service.

Scott at Lighthouse made the whole experience of car buying quick and easy. As soon as we arrived, he made my partner and I feel very welcome and was incredibly friendly. He even filled all the paperwork on for me and delivered the car the very next day. Brilliant service. Will be returning to Lighthouse when my partner passes her test.

I bought a vehicle from these guys just before Christmas. I found their service relaxed but professional, and they have a great vibe about them. I dealt with Scott who was great and there was no pressure to buy, they were very helpful and knowledgable. I would go back to them again for another car (when I need one) and you should to.
