Great service from start to finish cannot commend or recommend enough, Martyn does go above and beyond in all aspects to ensure that the customers needs come first and foremost.

Take a look you won't regret it.

Excellent friendly service from a small family ran car sales business who can out do the main dealers on speed of delivery and presentation of the cars your buying and the same care and attention given to the cars regardless of the price. Can't recommend Martyn enough it may sound clichéd but you get a proper old fashioned personal experience from a guy who really cares about what he's doing and his customers. Take a look you won't regret it.

A five-star review does not do the service I received from Martyn justice

A five-star review does not do the service I received from Martyn justice.
In an industry where sharp practice is often order of the day, Martyn bucks the trend!
The service was second to none, he’s good to his word and I thoroughly recommend him.

I couldn't have found anyone better in the motor trade than Martyn Reading!

I couldn't have found anyone better in the motor trade than Martyn Reading! I have been looking for a Skoda Yeti for some time and found the perfect vehicle through him - a long drive for me but really worth the trip; he was such as helpful, thoughtful, pleasant person to deal with. He wouldn't even sell the car to me until a a small scratch on the door had been professionally repaired and it was in immaculate condition when I collected it - like a new car really. I am now a very happy Yeti owner and have already recommended Martyn to a friend. He is definitely not your average car dealer and I cannot thank him enough.

Smart buy

About a week ago I bought a Smart for two from Martyn. The service was impeccable from beginning to end.
This is a business that cares that their customers are happy.
I traded in my old car and got a great deal. I was given a complete service history and my little car was ready within a day or two with a new MOT and beautifully valeted.
A quick and easy purchase , I love everything about my new vehicle.
Thankyou Martyn
