I rang specialist cars in the hope they could direct me to someone that had parts for my wd123 mercedes, so bearing in mind I didn't actually buy anything, the gentleman was so helpful and went out of his way to help me!!

Just bought a Japanese import from Specialist Cars York. Process explained to me in great detail. Car better than I could have ever imagined. Delighted with it. Cant recommend enough. I had been to a lot of other garages and cars I was offered were no where near the standard of this vehicle. Thank you.

Had very poor service on 3 occasions at Specialist Cars York, 2 relating to work on my car and 1 when looking to buy a vehicle. Some of their 5 star Google reviews are fictitious too.

kristian geldard from Specialist Cars York in response to Extremely poor
As many will know who regularly visit our dealership and have done over the last 25+ years (yes we have been here over quarter of a century now.. time fly's!, and the early 1990`s and all that came with it seems like yesterday) or find out when they do if they are new to our company, we have some very nice workshops, and super facilities all at hand, however although regularly asked DON’T offer a repair service to customer`s for their own cars, and car`s they have bought elsewhere, we are a sales business, we carry out work to these car`s in question, so this reviewer will not have brought his car to us a 1st time to have repairs carried out, nor a second time. Even if we offered such a repair service, why would he keep coming and then consider buying from a garage he was not happy with?.
As many people who are in the repair side of the classic car industry will no doubt agree, in many cases (not all), but in many a repair involves re doing previous work another tradesman or good intention private hobbyist has done poorly, in most cases depending on the level or correction required as a garage owner you then have to deliver bad/terrible news to the owner, normally a nice enthusiast who will have generally been unaware so not a great area of the job and a not one we wish to do, hence as above we DON’T offer a repair service to customer`s for their own cars, and car`s they have bought elsewhere,

Would not touch anything that is related to Specialist Cars York. The owner is unprofessional and definitely not a trustworthy dealer, be careful. Plenty of good dealers in the area but one to avoid. Take mechanics with you!

Greetings Mr Miles A!, not sure who you are, we have no record of any recent transaction or in fact any such enquiry or visit by a “Miles A”, from the detailed in house showroom log system we operate which logs all sales activity at our dealership…
As all who deal with us and also visit will find and as many have already over the 26 yrs+ in business… we are far from unprofessional…. certainty trustworthy, and as any mechanic who have been will confirm……… we sell very nice cars indeed!, it may be the case you also sell classic cars like us?, hence this review!

I’ve found Kristian to be nothing but a gentleman, very helpful and knowledgeable and what he offers as a warranty cover and the rest best of look doing better from any other company, it’s sad to see people tarnishing his name in reviews when cars can give problems and even new cars off the factory line can be faulty and give problems, lots of manufacturers have recalled cars because of faults, I’m waiting on a classic at the moment and I know I can trust Kristian and will do business again and again in the future, his company has some beautiful cars, bikes, etc,
I would think the bad reviews and watch dog post and the rest is so unfair and these people who have put up these unfair and horrible reviews should be ashamed of themselves trying to damage a mans business when their problems were resolved, I know my cars and know some cars can just give problems, I would recommend Specialistcars to family and friends, anyone, I have a good friend at the moment looking at a car Kristian has and I think my friend will purchase from him, absolutely beautiful examples of all motors, to anyone reading these reviews do not believe these nasty reviews, really spiteful and nasty people do things like this, the world isn’t perfect and things can go wrong, just because you’ve had a bad day doesn’t make it right to write angry nasty reviews, what’s the saying “ if you’ve nothing good to say say nothing “

Kristian the owner of Specialist Cars is extremely affable, knowledgable and genuinely wants to pair his customer with the correct vehicle. After giving a brief on which Mercedes W123 I was interested in, Kristian sourced a true classic.
His knowledge and expertise is honourable. I am exteremly happy with the vehicle which was delivered to London as part of the service. the after sales care is also great as Specialist Cars can source all the parts needed.
I can highly recommend this outfit if your looking for something reliable and interesting. 5 Stars.

Communicated over several months with Kristian at Specialist Cars York re our search for a very particular Mercedes W124 & had a great, enthusiast, informative experience on each occasion. Ultimately our perfect Japanese Import 280E (& yes they are every bit as good as Kristian says) came to us via a private seller. Nonetheless, the response when I called to advise "search over" was one of congratulations & interest. Will be staying in touch for parts purchases & W124 resources as Kristian clearly knows his stuff & then some on these cars! Thanks again for the excellent advice & help, which thus far hasn't cost us a penny!!
