Great service

We bought a car from Catalina in March 26 and had a great service from sales through to aftercare. We bought the extended warranty as we don't live local, an engine light came on after a week, and Hannah was really helpful via email - it was very easy to use the warranty to get the cost covered.

Everything smooth and easy

Bought a car from Catalina with Michael a couple of weeks ago now. From initial contact to driving away he was professional, polite, and very personable. Gave me a very fair price for my old car and made the whole process feel very, very smooth and easy. Would recommend.

All round solid service

The sales team (Steve) was friendly and relaxed, the process was quick and transparent and the after care team were solid in refunding me when an engine light came on and I had to pay to get it taken off. The price was extremely reasonable and I felt a fiar transparent price was offered in part ex for my old car. Would reccomend and use again.
