Purchased my new car from Clearwater Automotive, was nervous as never bought a car before. Andy, Dan and Tom were helpful and kind. Great car! Great deal! Thank you

Bought a red Golf GTi from Clearwater and the car is just excellent in every regard. The service is brilliant from start to finish, unpressured and relaxed, no pushy salesman just time and answers given when requested. I really can't say enough about their service, I visited a large number of dealers across Essex and these were by far the best. Got a fair price for my trade in (silver golf GTD...still on their site so if you are looking for one, buy this...excellent car). I asked for some minor bits to be sorted on the Gti and this was done without quibble. I opted for the 24 month RAC Warranty and this was excellent value as well. I know I sound like I know them or work there, I don't but I have spent 6 months finding the right car and know how hard it is to find a decent dealer, hence this review. I will buy my next car from them and have recommended to all family and friends.

They provide quality cars at extremely competitive prices. I am really pleased with the car but feel that they need to pick up on their administrative skills. The direct bank transfer for the excess payment in the vehicle I traded in was slow in coming to me and I had to keep chasing for my private plates to be put on retention and for the log book for the new vehicle to be sent off. In the end I have had to apply to the DVLA myself to get a new log book as they have never received the current one from the dealer. It's a real shame as the guys there do such a good job on the sales.

Great value as I spent plenty of time dining research...sometimes you question if it's possible to get a good deal but on this occasion I did which is why I am leaving this review.
