I came across the Land Rover I bought from Hallmark Cars on Ebay. The car was clean and in decent shape apart from some little niggley bits. The Process throughout was nice and smooth so cant fault them there. As a whole it was pretty good!

"Never again"

I purchased a 2007 crv from hallmark car sales. I called the dealer after 2 months of owning the vehicle to make them aware that the battery kept draining on the car. I was informed this wasn't covered in the warranty. I had to purchase a new battery myself. Turned out that there was an electrical fault on the car that kept draining the battery when left unstarted for 2 days. They also sold me a car with no locking nut. I had to pay for someone to remove the lock nits and I had to buy new ones. Stay well away.

Matthew Hall from Hallmark Car Sales Ltd in response to Never again

I am truly sorry you had an issue with the battery. A battery is something that doesn't last forever sadly, had it gone within the first couple of weeks, fair point, but after a couple of months we cant guarantee a used battery...some new batteries only have a 12 month guarantee! And you did not make us aware that a fault was still present after replacing the battery as we would have asked our auto elecy to check it if we knew there was a fault. The car never went flat while we had it on display. We do give a mechanical engine and gearbox breakdown guarantee and ensure the cars leave us with no obvious faults, and your car was MOT'd and checked over prior to delivery, but its fairly impossible to know a battery will fail in a few months time or a fault develop! And as regards the locking nut, again sorry this was missing, but we could have taken your nuts off if you had asked us, not a big or expensive job. I do feel your review is a little harsh when you purchased a 10 year old car and the car itself hasn't had any major mecanical issues! We have been in business since 1999 and have sold thousands of cars to thousands of happy customers who repeatedly return for another car and recommend us to friends and family, and I would assure you that we will do all we can to ensure the cars we sell are as good as possible, I hope you give us the opportunity to assist you in the future and if you do I will make sure you get a great deal. I can only apologise for your disappointment . Kind regards, Mat.

I can highly recommend Hallmark cars. I wanted a Volvo C30 and after trawling through Autotrader for months I eventually bought one from Hallmark Cars two weeks ago. Although I had to go above my budget I'm very happy with the purchase. The on site valeting is exceptional, plus the RAC warranty and MOT before picking the car up gave peace of mind before driving away. Colin's patience with all my questions was much appreciated. Thank you.

I had decided weeks ago that this was the car that I fancied. So I was delighted when I found one especially as it was the colour (plum) that I liked. I love my car and I'm enjoying driving it. Happy days!!! The salesman at Hallmark Car Sales was brilliant, didn't put any pressure on us. Thank you for your service.

I couldn't of been handled better, no hard sales or anything really well priced, been around many second hand car dealers in my time so know when i am being handled properly. Hallmark Car Sales could not of been more accommodating.

Matthew Hall from Hallmark Car Sales Ltd in response to Very honest and considerate

I am glad to hear you enjoyed our casual and friendly style. I don't like pushy sales men, and I try and buy nice clean cars that people will WANT to buy, not cars we have to try and push on people! Appreciate your business and feedback, thanks...Matt.

I had seen a car (C3 Picasso) I liked through my finance company, so they arranged for me/ us to visit Hallmark Car Sales, we had as long as we needed to look over the car and were very happy. A few days later we were back to collect! We were dealt with very well and looked after, plus the car was immaculate, been MOT'd and any works carried out! Recommended to anyone looking for quality 2nd hand car.

Thank you for your valued feedback and review. Very happy to hear you were happy with our relaxed approach and that the car was presented well. Regards, Mat.

We first saw our Citroen c4 on the auto trader web site as we were looking for a 7 car within a reasonable distance of where we live. We contacted Hallmark Cars and went down a few days later for a test drive only to find another c4 they had in stock with less mileage (a little more pricey, but hey!).It took us five minutes to decide to buy it. It was immaculate inside. The bonus was that the car we had to part exchange wasn't worth much but Colin agreed to use it against 12 months RAC warranty. They even put petrol in it to get us home. The customer service was brilliant it would be what I would expect from a proper dealership. Will recommend and use again.

Great service. We arrived and soon found the car we wanted. Colin got everything ready for us and arranged a oil change and MOT and they even fixed the advisories on it. All in all delighted with the service and the car. There was no pressure to buy. Just the desire to make sure if you did buy you went away satisfied. Thanks to everyone at Hallmark Car Sales for a great service!!

"Very disappointed"

I bought a Toyota from these guys, even though they could produce no service book or manual, and even though they had to fix a couple of things (which took a week as they had to get a part from toyota) before it would pass the MOT. The car seems sound in engine and gearbox but there are annoying electrical bits and pieces that need attention. Minor things really. I've had the car less than a week, but when I called and asked them to rectify the issues you would have thought I'd asked them to cut an arm off! I've never heard anyone backpedal and wash their hands of something as quickly as they did! Really disappointed and considering following up with trading standards. Any business is measured by how they deal with issues. Very poor. My advice would be Please do not use.

Matthew Hall from Hallmark Car Sales Ltd in response to Very disappointed

I am so sorry to hear you were disappointed at having to wait a week while we sourced some parts to repair the central locking on the car before you took delivery. You hadn't actually noticed there was a fault when you viewed the car, but we found the fault on our pre delivery inspection and I contacted you to tell you we wanted to make sure the car was right before it went out, and you seemed delighted with this. I ensure all my cars are sent out with no faults we can find. I believe you later contacted us with complaint of an interior light not working and a lumbar support on the seat. Colin advised we would gladly have a look for you but we probably couldn't do anything with the seat. You claimed the car was not fit for purpose due to these minor issues on a 7 year old car with 70,000 miles. Colin rightly reasoned that the car was clearly fit for purpose as it was carrying out its purpose of getting you from a to b without let down. We did offer (and always will) to take a look at your niggles, sorry you chose not to take us up on our offer, and sorry you feel our service deserved such bad press. Matt.

I feel the same, have had nothing but hassle. refusing to pay trade prices!!!
