This was a very pleasant experience. Very impressed by the depth of knowledge and polite friendly manner displayed by Matthew. We had time to fully consider between two cars and there was no pressure or hard sell. Everything was explained fully and as the car we chose was only just on sale it needed preparation servicing and valeting. When we picked the car up it had a full 12month warranty and looked superb. If we need another car in the future we would not hesitate to visit VCM again.

I have no exact words to describe my experience at vwc but in one word"Excellent". I bought my Ford fiesta today and it's in super 👌 condition. I got one year valid MOT, Cleaned car, helped to tax and transfer documents. Mr Matthew has exceptional customer service, he is honest transparent and very patient. I recommend VWC anytime anyday.

Bought a Q7 from VMC. Matthew was more than accommodating. He was very polite and thorough with everything and made sure all was more than up to standard. He was very honest with us and made us feel very comfortable when discussing the ins and outs of the vehicle. Definitely would recommend using VMC again. 👌

We where looking forward to viewing a vehicle on sale at Vmc in Norwich. On planning a trip we noticed there business has closed down apparently?? In red wording on website? Shame because we ended up buying a low mileage example further up from SM cars. Vmc has a good name and long established hence a Shame it’s closed.

I had the misfortune to buy a car from here,it’s been a complete nightmare to be honest. I was never happy with the car once I got it home spoke to Matthew who offered me a refund then changed his mind,I’ve been back & forth to Norwich trying to sort this mess out only to be told I have to prove there’s something wrong with the car, took the car to BMW main dealer where they confirmed there was several problems with the car ( I got a £700 bill ) Told Matthew he just ignores you,then he blocks you from watts app !!!! I bought the car in May and have been trying to get my money back ever since, in September the car wouldn’t start and had to be recovered to a garage where I was told there had been a fire in the ECU and the vehicle was a write off I’m now in the process of taking him to court to recover my expenses The service and attitude of VMC is extremely poor and I’d advise you don’t buy from this dealer

Vulcan Motor Company Ltd from Vulcan Motor Company Ltd in response to STEER CLEAR

Dear Matt Jones As a company that has achieved 737 Auto trader five star reviews, won four Auto trader customer highly rated awards in 2018 - 2019 - 2020 - and 2021, we have also received over 217 Google reviews, and we have worked hard for over thirty years to gain and maintain a strong reputation, we were very disheartened to read this review and would like to respond for balance. We can confirm that we sold you a modern classic Bmw 540i in April 2021, It had approximately 100,000 miles on the clock, and was 21 years old at the point of sale, You viewed the vehicle prior to purchase, and you decided that you would like to take ownership, we agreed a price, and we agreed to fully prepare before you took delivery, it was subject to a full 12 month advisory free mot test, it was fully serviced, and we completed a full pre sales service inspection, you duly signed all documentation to confirm that you were happy, and that the Bmw was fault free at the point of sale, you then drove the Bmw home some 100 miles to Essex, you then contacted us in the following weeks to report that the ' Engine didn't sound right ' And you asked for a refund, we did consider this option and the final decision was based upon if there was any faults present, We advised you to return the vehicle on a low loader in case you caused any damage to the engine due to your report, you refused and you drove it back to our premises, It was booked into M Craft Bmw for an independent inspection, where they completed the full inspection and health check, including full diagnostics, we are in possession of this report, they found one issue with an exhaust oxygen sensor, and with their advise we had it replaced, we paid for the inspection, and duly paid for the replacement sensor, there were no faults found with the engine, or ecu, we contacted you to arrange collection, and you refused and again demanded a refund, when you eventually collected the vehicle, you then took it to Bmw Colchester where they completed a free 1 minute 42 second inspection - health check, and again they confirmed that there were no issues in the engine ecu or any engine codes present, they did report some minor leaking around a seal, and that there was no water in the header tank, we have the video, but we have never received any paper work from them or you proving any of the faults you allege were present, you then threatened court action if your demands were not met, we welcomed this course of action, your brother then called us in the office, again demanding a refund, we did then subsequently block you from WhatsApp, We then received an e mail in January 2022 from you stating that your Bmw had caught fire, and that you were seeking to recover some costs, we have had no evidence of any costs, and again you threatened court action, we again welcomed any court action, and we made it very clear that we deny all of your accusations, and that we would strenuously defend our case, you have now decided to take this further and we have responded accordingly, we will welcome our day in court with you, and we will publish the outcome of the case once a judge has heard both sides of this very unfortunate situation. Kind Regards Vulcan Motor Company Ltd

There is an old cliche' about 'Honest John Motor Dealers' that very few live up to. Vulcan Motor Company are the exception. Living 200+ miles away from this dealer in Somerset I approached Matthew and expressed my interest in the BMW X1 he had for sale. He told me it was a 1 owner car with very low mileage as the previous owner had developed memory problems and could no longer drive. On the face of that I paid a deposit. I was sent a copy of the V5 for the vehicle which contained the name and address of the previous owner. Being a bit of a sceptic I traced their number and rang it. There I spoke to what I think were an elderly couple who confirmed exactly what Matthew had said. With that a deal was done. I had a Volvo to trade and after some short negotiations Matthew agreed to bring the car to Somerset and the handover went with only one hitch which turned out was a misunderstanding on my part. Matthew was, however, very courteous in resolving the hitch and we both left happy with our dealings. This is the one Company I would recommend without hesitation. When Matthew tells you he is honest, believe him.

Can't speak highly enough of Matthew, one of the owners at VMC, so a definite 5*s from me. I found the car on the VMC site during lockdown and although I wasn't able to view it immediately as the dealership was still prevented from operating, Matthew answered all the questions I asked about the car and talked me through the ownership and service history of it, which was reassuring to the extent I paid a deposit to hold the car for me, and effectively bought it sight unseen apart from the extensive pictures of it on the VMC website listing. I'm very pleased I did so as there was apparently a lot of interest in it, so sometimes you have to trust who you're dealing with at face value and go with your gut instinct to get what you want. At the PDI several issues were identified as required to get the car through the MOT and VMC organised the necessary repairs using manufacturer (Porsche) OEM parts. Matthew also organised a Gold Standard full mechanical warranty on the vehicle for me at a good price. On collection the vehicle was ready for me and had been valeted. Handover was smooth and efficient, including online payment of vehicle road tax to enable me to drive away. Couldn't ask for any more from a dealer really and can't thank Matthew enough for his time and patience answering all my questions fully and helpfully. I've had a couple of questions since buying the car - not problems, just unfamiliarity with quirks of the vehicle - which Matthew has answered / solved the difficulty - so aftercare service is good as well! I'd say, based on my experience, VMC are a very good motor dealer to do business with. Customer service, experience and satisfaction is top of their list. Hope this reassures other potential buyers of used vehicles from VMC!
