Atto 2 comfort

I recently purchased a brand new BYD from the Truro dealership and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The whole process was smooth, professional, and completely stress free.
A special thank you to Chicaine, who was incredibly helpful, friendly, and efficient throughout. She took the time to answer all of my questions, kept me updated every step of the way, and made sure everything was ready for collection. Nothing was too much trouble.
I’m absolutely delighted with my new car and would happily recommend BYD Truro to anyone looking for excellent customer service and a great buying experience. Also I’m happy to report that we made the 200 mile journey in the atto 2 comfort without needing to recharge 😜Thank you again

Very competent service

Both Chelsea and Chicaine were very helpful, we dealt with Chelsea first and she couldn't have been more helpful. We then dealt with Chicaine as it was Chelsea's day off and she was just as helpful, both very knowledgeable and helpful. The only thing that could have been better was the valeting of the vehicle, they did offer a revalet but we are 20 odd miles away and didn't have the time to accept the offer, but this does not detract from the service we receive from the girls.

BYD Top of class

The sales staff were very knowledgeable, they were not pushy but seemingly more interested in providing all the information required to make an informed decision. The test drive was arranged the same day, the offices were plush and we were made to feel at ease throughout the process. Over all service was of a high standard, therefor we would recommend.

Happy with our BYD Dolphin purchase.

We were driving past BYD Truro on our way to Kingsley Village Shopping Centre and decided to stop and look at a BYD dolphin. We met Chicaine Bennetts and had a test drive. We were very impressed and saw a used Dolphin Surf Boost which we also drove. A very fair deal was offered on this and the sale was concluded. Throughout this process we were most impressed with Chicaine. She was calm, relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable and very helpful in her interaction with us.

Chicaine was very helpful when we were looking at the available models and organised a deal on a de-fleeted model which was exactly what we wanted.

Competitive and Personal

We were looking at a BYD and Truro BYD came highly recommended, we worked with Chicaine who was knowledgeable and always had a good handle on stock nationally. Chicaine always responded very quickly either by email or phone and assisted with every aspect.
A shout out to Josh at Truro service was able to help with technical questions.Great dealership!

Go see Chicaine at Truro!

Chicaine at Truro was most professional, informative and helpful with our recent purchase of a BYD Atto, with which we are very pleased.
She coped particularly well as a lone worker with multiple drop-ins when handing over our car by appointment.
BYDs are great cars at good prices so it’s going to get busier in Truro. Maybe consider employing more staff but they will have to be as personable and lovely as Chicaine!

We are very pleased with the car and after being a bit sceptical about going Electric now embrace it completely.
Chicaine who sold us the car was very approachable and efficient and went out her way to help.

Go see Dan at BYD Truro

Dan helped us find and purchase our dream car. No question was too small or silly. He was patient and helpful. He kept us up to date through the whole process, and made sure we had a point of contact. He is also just the loveliest bloke. We would definitely recommend going down to BYD Truro and speaking to Dan.

Test driving a BYD Sealion 7

From booking a test drive, to buying a Sealion 7 Excellence, Chicaine couldn't have been more helpful. We test drove a Sealion Design, and when we returned she pointed out an Excellence newly delivered, needless to say, it was the one.
The whole process was easy, especially as we were on holiday during the process of trading in our car and transferring the number plates, all was done via email and over the phone.
On the handover Chicaine went through the infotainment and controls and gave us plenty of time to familiarise ourselves with the car before driving off.
I would recommend BYD Probus, the helpful staff, no pushy product sales , and good communication made the whole process less stressful.
