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.

Mike and Andrew were great, let me look around the vans in peace and quiet but helpful with information too. These guys were a breathe of fresh air for a woman visiting a garage. Nothing to much trouble, polite honest and genuine company 5* service

These guys seemed good in the beginning but in all honestly I wish I’d never used them. It’s ended up costing me more than I paid for the van just 4 months after. Complete engine rebuild and they told me that it was a trade sale... unbeknown to me! Avoid like the plague, these guys offed to send me £250 gratuitous and I took that on face value and accepted as a best of a bad situation, then they never answered the phone again. Called on multiple occasions with multiple numbers and every time I got on the phone another round of false promises and lies. I have held off from this review believing they would do the right thing, but now I have no choice as I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through what I have. This company is dodgy from the ground up. No doubt they will attempt to make me sound like a non genuine customer but I can assure you this isn’t the case, and I wouldn’t be the first person they have done that to online. Thanks chandlers Ford.

Elliot, Actually I am treating you as a genuine customer but what you are saying in your review is not the truth, firstly you signed a statement which stated you were buying it as seen with no warranty which was explained to you before we took any money off you, this was because of the age and mileage of the vehicle. Secondly Mick asked for your bank details so the agreed amount of money would be paid to you by the way of a bank transfer and we didn't hear from you after that at all. We have since moved premises with obviously a new telephone number so I can understand that you might of been trying to contact us to no avail but you clearly had our email address to be able to contact us regarding the matter. When you say you have phoned us and got a load of false promises that is just untrue. You also state in your review that you wouldn't be the first person this has happened too but I think if you read our reviews they clearly speak for themselves.

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!

The professionalism and customer service that I received from Andrew and the staff at chandlers ford car centre went well beyond the norm that I have previously received from other dealers. A comfortable environment to view the vehicles with no hard pressure sale techniques was a delight. Andrew was engaging and polite and very knowledgeable. The support staff in the office were courteous and professional and catered for my every need. I would highly recommend this company for purchasing and will definitely re-visit for future purchases and I would advise anyone on buying cars in the near future to pay them a visit.
