Friendly family run car sales business with a good range of models available to suit most budgets. I have bought two cars from Chandlers Ford Car Centre, one for my son and a small commercial for my own business. Staff are very knowledgeable and always willing to advise and help. Nothing pushy, just ask in your own time. Servicing and any minor repairs undertaken by local, equally friendly, mechanic. Would highly recommend.

Looking for a new car after mine was hit was draining, car after car not quite as good as the description with some fault, then I happened to see one at Chandlers Ford Car Centre. Mick was superb, he gave us plenty of time and was courteous, good customer service, first class Driving the car I was happy with my purchase, I would not hesitate to recommend the team to anyone, and should I change my car will return to them

Buying a second-hand car always fills me with dread, especially on this occasion when I had to change my much-loved Fiesta for something more up-to-date. However, I was looked after really well by Mick at Chandlers Ford. Nothing was too much trouble. He let us have a good look at the car, take it for a test drive, and put us under no pressure to buy - maybe that was a good sales tactic, as it made me want to buy it! He even delivered the car complete with a new MOT a couple of days later, telling me not to be afraid to ring him if I was worried about anything. My husband, who unlike me is a car enthusiast, has since put the car through it's paces and declared himself very satisfied. So far I've only admired my sporty little Mini Cooper on the driveway - it looks so lovely I hardly dare take it out, but apparently this must change soon - so fingers crossed!

For me, renewing my car was a big deal, more so, because I always buy secondhand and we all know this can be a risk. Therefore, finding the right car and from a trustworthy dealer was always high on my priority list. After trawling online for weeks I came across the perfect VW Golf for me and after seeing and test driving it, I was keen. Mick, was helpful and informative regarding the car's history and after a little negotiation I was trading in my car and driving away my new car. Unfortunately and to my distress, a few days later there was a fault with the turbo charger. At this point I truly realised what an effective and honest business was being run by Chandlers Ford Car Centre. Andrew & Suzi took the stress out of my situation by lending me a car whilst mine was in for repair. Not only did Andrew have the turbo charger replaced, but he personally bought a brand new one as opposed to a reconditioned one, all at their expense. The service and calibre of staff is exceptional.

My experience was good, i saw a car i liked online and went to see it and walked in to the car centre looked at the car (vw tiguan) i was greeted asked if ok i said i like this car they pulled it out so i could look better and left me to it which i liked no hassle, i test drove it and bought it the next day. This review would of been excellent but the back brakes were knackered and cost me £260 to fix but it's second hand and the car is excellent and the staff at chandlers ford car centre made this experience easy and relaxed woild recommend them

Mick and Andy are a friendly team and were able to have the car ready to be collected by the next day. They are very helpful and told me to go back to them if I had concerns about anything so seems like they offer a great after car service too.

I initially thought that maybe all the previous reviews on this site may have been written by Chandlers Ford themselves, they were so glowing. Well I can refute that straight away following our visits and subsequent purchase of a vehicle. At first we dealt with Mick, a delightful man with endless patience. We finalised our purchase with Andrew who also was very helpful with the documentation etc. They took our vehicle in part exchange with no hassle over the trade in price quoted by Autotrader We identified several items on the vehicle, a Ford Galaxy Ghia, that we were concerned about, these were rectified to our satisfaction while another issue concerning the turbo was still under debate, although we were assured that two independent garages had given the all clear. Andrew went a step further than required and immediately upgraded the RAC warranty with no extra charge. On our return journey the car performed perfectly, looking forward to some happy motoring!
