I can’t recommend Cecil & Larter highly enough if you are looking to buy a car. The showroom is glossy and sharp if that’s your thing and the welcome is warm, friendly and genuine with great coffee. I will definitely be checking them out when I am looking for my next car. Seriously check them out.

Just purchased a new vehicle from C&L. Service is excellent, friendly and Tom Crawford especially was really good (particularly in answering my many questions!). We’re now having our other car serviced/MOT’d here too. All round good dealer and would definitely recommend.

I do not often leave reviews on google, however after visiting Cecil & Larter again I felt a review was needed.
I visited the showroom on Wednesday to look at a used Volvo. I was met by Tom Crawford, who was polite, friendly and to be quite honest refreshingly open and honest. He walked me around the car, explaining every aspect including the minor imperfections (was an 8year old car) even tho it was in absolutely fantastic condition.
We took it for a test ride, the complete time talking to me more like a friend than a customer.
Once back he gave me time to look around on my own before coming

I brought my used car from this dealership and received a brilliant, efficient and friendly service from the staff here. Damon in particular went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this dealership as the whole experience was stress-free. When it came to us spotting a few minor fixes and raising this with them, they were more than happy to get them sorted for us. Go for this dealership if you want a car at a good market price.

The car was immaculate on the forecourt, Tom Crawford was so friendly, helpful and professional, he made the process so easy and smooth. No hard sell which is a massive pet hate of mine, great part exchange on my car, the whole team were so friendly and helpful in person and on the phone. All documents received quickly via email, car looked stunning and had that new car smell on pick up, my private plates will be made up for me and the icing on the cake was a huge bouquet of flowers when Tom opened the boot as a thankyou to me for having my car serviced!! Such a lovely touch, I would not hesitate

We have been buying our cars from Cecil and Larter for many years now. They always look after us and we would never go anywhere else. The familiar, friendly faces both on the sales and service side make it feel like being part of a family. They have a wide range of high end cars from an array of manufacturers. The buying process is easy and the after care sales service is brilliant. Thanks again Charlie and the team

Had a really good experience with Tom Crawford of Cecil & Larter. Very straight forward, no hard sell of things you did not want, plus an attitude to provide value for money. Always helpful throughout the process and I am very happy with my used car.

Attentive service from beginning to end. Tom Crawford was very easy to deal with and answered all our many questions with additional photos and documents as were unable to view the car before leaving a deposit. Never thought we would a car remotely but the experience was surprisingly satisfactory at this garage. Not sure the experience would have been the same with just the online retailers. Lovely car difficult to get at the price we paid locally to where we live. Very pleased and would recommend both Tom and the garage.

Absolutely professional service, experienced salespeople with knowledge of cars. Very good care both before and after the purchase of the car. They take care of the details, the car I bought was very well maintained and had no problems. One of the best salons in the country, worth recommending.
