New Car
I brought a car from this company near two weeks ago and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. After previously buying two cars from a different company and having loads of problems, I was worried about trusting another dealership.
I found a car I liked on Leigh car’s website and went over to see them. Elliot was helpful and explained about the condition of the car, which was good and then when I went back to pick my car up, both Elliot and Cameron were helpful. They explained everything about what comes with the car and helped me pick the correct warranty, also helped with other bits and gave me lots of paperwork which I never had with the other dealership. Highly recommend this company.
Am very happy with my new car and so far everything seems really good with it.

Good service friendly staff
I bought a car from this company after my car was written off in an accident. Dan was very helpful, and even though my car did have a couple of minor issues he arranged to get them sorted quickly. Very approachable and friendly company. I would recommend.

I purchased a car from leigh cars today, and it was a wonderful experience. As a woman I often feel uneasy going into car showrooms/dealerships but on this occasion, Dan made me feel at ease from start, right through to the finish.
The process was extremely quick and easy, taking just a few hours. I cannot recommend Leigh Cars enough! Thank you so much

Elliot was the salesman i dealt with
Elliot was the salesman i dealt with, he was great to talk too , there was no pressure to buy what so ever. Very reasonably priced car i picked up, i could spend aslong as i wanted checking it over and carrying out a roadtest. I was able to take the car that day and part exchange mine. Very easy transaction and the car has been great.

Thank you Leigh Cars Ltd! We will surely be back when we are in need of another car again.

17/7/24 Honest review
After many emails, Leigh invited me to give a review of my experience ( here goes).
So I needed a car with a built in SAT NAV for work, by the time I got the car home I realised I required a working smart phone and it wasn’t build in. The stop and start NEVER worked, again tried to fob me of suggesting it needs a good drive ( I’ve had many cars and the stop start always worked. Upon recent inspection the battery terminal was not shut down properly,this could have caused sparking while driving. The battery was also low.
The garage refused under consumer’s right act to give me back a full refund, due to the above and we have argued constantly for around 3 weeks.
Can I remind people the reviews are not verified on this site, don’t always believe what you see.
Thank you Leigh garages it’s been memorable and now
Responding to your reply!
NO the car was advertised with SAT NAV- it did not say you needed smart phone to access!
The STOP START did not work, how would I know this? It took me realising this on my way home!
Like YOU I can’t just nip back to Southend ( an hour drive) when I work!
You mention the i phone, I requested this apparent new I phone gets posted to me, YOU IGNORED MY REQUEST, now 3 weeks.
Under the bonnet as mentioned was faulty, yes I have recorded witness.
The battery is rubbish- AGAIN, I purchased the car in good faith based on all the outstanding reviews that your company could be trusted- it appears not.
If Cars was sold as described then people wouldn’t be under pressure to take a car back or get the car rectified would they.
Good luck to anyone who buys from u

Hi Kerry, thank you for your review, we really appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately as you refuse to bring the car back to us to inspect your battery for you we are unable to assist you any further, even though this has been offered on at least 6 occasions. For further clarity for customers potentially reading this, even though the vehicle was clearly advertised as having Apple Car Play / Android Auto and therefore sat nav ready, you were able to asses the vehicle prior to purchase and raised no concerns with your sales advisor that this was a major purchasing factor in terms of having it built in. As a gesture of goodwill we have offered to send you out a new IPhone to make sure you have a working sat nav on your vehicle, even though you already have a mobile device that has this capability and technically we do not have to offer this gesture of goodwill given that we haven’t actually done anything wrong.
The consumer rights act allow you a full refund if there is a mechanical fault with the vehicle. You have not reached the driving conditions for the stop start system to work and sat nav not being in built into your media system do not constitute grounds for rejection, particularly as you visited the premises and had ample time to test drive and ask any questions that would have made a major effect on your purchasing decisions.
Unfortunately although we try our best to assist every customer and we do deliver an exceptional service of which our 600+ 5* (verified) reviews prove, we are unable to please everyone and although we have tried our hardest to assist you, unfortunately we are unable to assist customers who refuse the help.
As communicated on numerous occasions, if you feel you have any issues with your battery stop start not working (even though batteries are not covered under warranty), please book it in with us and we will look at this for you and assist free of charge.
Thank you once again for your feedback and please feel free to call us on 01702899851 if you wished to discuss further.
Best wishes,
Leigh Cars Ltd
