A few weeks back I brought a new car from the dealer Charlie. My mum had concerns about its service history, Essex car company contacted me and said that it was a due a service. Had it serviced today so fingers cross now everything will be alright with it moving forward, had only one problem with it which was the footwell in the passengers side being extremely wet, hopefully now they’ve sorted that as they said the pipe was blocked. All in all a very good company.

It's been a smooth run with Essex Car Company, I bought my car back in October 2023 and since I took ownership there hasn't been any cause for worry. The car has been exactly as it should.

"The best salesman I have come across. "

Believe it or not, Dave, my salesman was possibly the nicest salesman I have ever come across. The people I bought my Nissan Qashqai from in Rainham, I think they went above and beyond their call of duty. I would recommend to anybody. I never actually intended to buy a car for me. Ironically, I was looking for a car for my grandson, after driving past Essex Car Company I couldn't not go and have a look.. well I ended up going about 3x over my budget on a car for myself! You could not write it haha! It's not very often that I praise a car dealer, 9 times out of 10, you do not get looked after like this. I am that happy I want to rate 11/10!

"Charlie, your a good lad indeed "

As someone who has cherished her trusty Tourneo for many years, I recently found myself in the market for a new vehicle. While my heart yearned for another Tourneo, my budget had other ideas. That’s when I stumbled upon the Vauxhall Combo, and let me tell you, it’s been a delightful surprise. The moment I laid eyes on the Vauxhall Combo, I knew it was the one. It’s like a reliable companion that understands my needs. The spacious interior, clever design, and comfortable seating make every journey a pleasure. Plus, the low floor ensures easy access—a boon for someone like me. Now, let’s talk about the real stars of the show: the folks at the dealership. From the first point of contact, they struck the perfect balance—not too pushy yet attentive enough to address my queries. And then there was Charlie. Oh, Charlie! He’s the kind of person who restores your faith in humanity, patient, helpful, and genuinely interested in making my experience exceptional. He didn’t just hand me the keys; he handed me confidence, Charlie insisted I take the Vauxhall Combo for a test drive and what a test drive it was! Smooth handling, responsive steering—it felt like the car whispered, “I’ve got you, dear.” I appreciated the chance to test drive it without any pressure. Charlie, you’re a good lad indeed! Here’s where the Vauxhall Combo truly shines. It’s not just about buying a car; it’s about being treated like family. No robotic interactions, no self-checkout nonsense. Instead, I had genuine customer service throughout, from choosing the right model to driving it off the lot. It’s like they wrapped the whole experience in a warm, nostalgic blanket of good old-fashioned care. If I could give this company beyond the usual 5 stars, I would.

This is the best place for quality and the customer care is awesome, I have never come across this level of service. They took enormous amounts of care with everything they did. When I came to collect my Ford Focus from Essex Car Company I was left gobsmacked by how clean my car was, it looked like it had just come out of a Ford Showroom as a brand new car. I highly recommend this dealer to anyone looking to buy their next car, you won't be disappointed! I only scored these 4/5 because no one is perfect but these came close.
