I paid top price (ON EBAY)
I paid top price (ON EBAY), for what looked like a top of the range, Vito 120CDI. After paying £300 for delivery, I started noticing things like, 3 different tyres, the odd dents, but then it broke down on our first trip, 20 miles from home, on the motorway. The AA attended and pointed out several Botch jobs under the bonnet. Things held together with cable ties and jubilee clips,(Fuel was everywhere).I eventually took it to my local garage. They said there were lots of bolts missing from the axels and chasis, fuel pipes routed where they should not be, and oil leaks. Plus the AC did not work. This, from a checked vehicle!!!. Approved cars then agreed to fix the Vito, as long as I AGAIN paid £300 to return it. SIX WEEKS later the man who returned the van to me said "something not right with that thing". The turbo was making a load noise, next day it was due to have bullbars fitted. Imagine my suprise, when the fitters told me, bolts where missing from the chasis??? In short, van is a £9000.00 peice of crap, that has already had £2000 spent on it, and still not right!! Oh, and when the van was returned, they lost my locking wheel nut key. AVOID THESE PEOPLE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Great Car!

Bought a lovely Volvo XC90 recently from James. Very helpful, walked me through every step of the purchase. I had few questions regarding maintenance of the car and after sales department was more than happy to answer all of my questions. Will be definitely recommending Approved cars to friends and family.
Thank you for making this as easy as possible.

Would reccommend.
Traded my car in for a 5 series, and had a very pleasant experience. Quick from start to finish, and gave me updates on when the car was ready to collect, will be buying my cars from here in future.

MY new vehicle experience
MY new vehicle experience. I was well pleased with all aspects of my purchase and visit. The Finance was handled well and the hand over with the sales team was a pleasure. The after care service was first class and any issues dealt with quickly and with out fuss. Would buy from them again.

Bought a jeep compass and after only having it for 2 days the engine management light came on. Returned the car and was assured it would be fixed within 2 days. No contact from them and when I called they said it was nearly ready and they were just finishing replacing the part and would ring in half an hour. An hour later a different person said they had not even started fitting the part. Following week I asked for a courtesy car, which I had to insure myself, as the car still was not fixed. Asked for money back and was assured if we gave them 2 more days it would be sorted. On the day they promised to have it ready and delivered to us, surprise surprise the car was not fixed!! Had to get a refund as we had not had the car for the best part of 3 weeks. Just lie after lie. Avoid this company

Recomendation
Or even 6 stars (without exaggerating), for: excellent customer service, good old fashioned work ethos and the quality of the car preparation as high as possible.
I recently bought / collected my van; all the necessary checks - done for me and the trivial few issues - fixed (without wasting my precious time that I would have spent trying to do it myself) at a very reasonable price and more than a day earlier than I expected.
As actions often speak for themselves, if you need a good quality van, go there and see for yourself. The range of products is wide, the staff professional and the process solid and pleasant.
If only most of life's problems were solved so smoothly!
