Simply put, I wouldn't trust anybody else to help me buy my first Porsche. I contracted Philip to perform a pre-purchase inspection on a 911 I was very keen on. His attention to detail and knowledge combined is second to none, and was instrumental in making sure that I bought a car at the other side of the country that was to my standards. Not only did he do very good background checks on the car (in addition to the standard HPI stuff he does), he looked in detail at the car, detailing the condition of the bodywork, interior, the mechanical aspects, even to the point of working out when I might need common items replacing and when I should expect to have to invest. His test drive was comprehensive and able to inspire confidence what condition the car was in without me having to do it myself. Philip also took the time to help me negotiate a fair deal, giving me insight on the market and what else might be out there, and how much leverage I might have - and also if my expectation of what to pay was sensible! In summary, I would highly recommend Philip to anyone either wanting to buy a car, or wanting an inspection on a car. He's honest, great to deal with and superbly helpful. I'd happily have him inspect my next sports car!

I spotted the car on Autotrader and contacted Philip by email with some questions. He responded within the hour with answers to all my questions (not all dealers do this). It wasn’t a hard sell and when I eventually saw the car it was exactly as described. Philip’s style was friendly and professional without any attempt to be my best mate. He was patient and allowed me plenty of time to examine the car, check the paperwork and take it for a test drive. Having done my research I knew the sticker price was about right. I doubt very much if Philip has a sheepskin coat tucked away in his wardrobe. He doesn’t conform to the stereotypical image of the secondhand car salesman. Buying a second car can be a little stressful, particularly if you’re buying the car for your son. Philip made the whole experience bearable and comfortable. I would definitely recommend doing business with him.

Genuine seller with lots of knowledge I would recommend anyone to by from this gentleman

Had Philip inspect a car on behalf of one of our clients. He was very honest, knowledgeable and down to earth. I would highly recommend him. His passion for the cars really shines through, which is great to see.

Travelled down from Scotland to view car. Car advert matched condition. Philip very easy to deal with. Fair price, easy transaction. Drove car 600 miles back to Scotland no problems, Would buy from Philip Phenodos again.

Hi Philip Just wanted to thank you for the car we purchased for our son josh. A genuine car from a genuine dealer! Josh loves his first car, Thank you

Unprofessional. Booked someone else to view the car at the same time even though I had an appointment and confirmed the time I was arriving on the day. Didn't apologise and said there were problems with the car and I wouldn't have been interested anyways. Drove for hours to view the car, very disappointed.

I bought an Audi A3 Convertible 7 days ago from Philip. He was very helpful and the car was as described - would use again!
