No hesitation in recommending Riverside-cars

As a car buyer of some 40yrs i am always wary of buying a used car from a dealer who is simply "punting" on a product for profit .
My recent Riverside experience purchasing a 5yr old 5series Bmw however was nothing but positive from start to finish .
Easy exchange of information , pics + video .
Deal agreed .
Arranged collection from train station .
Car was above & beyond what had been described so in summary could not be happier .

Riverside cars-Derby Road

Nothing but a positive experience here. From my test drive to purchase, I’ve been super happy. High level of communication, super helpful staff- (shout out to Shane who was helpful throughout) and now I have a car I feel safe in. Clear MOT and warranty plans offered, which add that extra level of security, which Shane was clear and helpful when explaining to me what’s covered etc.

Thanks all at Riverside!

Spot on garage

From start to finish of buying or car we have been looked after brilliantly. We had a small problem with the car after a few days which I was told to bring it straight in and they would give me a courtesy car so it was fix and sorted within no time . I love my car and the service from this place was great Andy was amazing so helpful thank you from Karli and Andrew x

Easy and Efficient Service

Riverside provided a very easy and efficient service, with no pushy sales techniques. Gave no-quibble part exchange on my old car, trusted me on its condition and delivered new car free of charge. There was a small tear in the seat, which they advised me of in advance, and arranged after-sale replacement by main dealer. I dealt with Toby mainly, but all staff were friendly and helpful.

Car immaculate when I went down to collect & trade in my Part Exchange. Smooth transition of paperwork, Lee sorted & organised it all before I left the yard. Thank you, hope to use you again in the future.

Avoid at all cost, Faulty Cars

Avoid at all cost, Faulty Cars Scammers / Liars very unprofessional untrustworthy especially Charlie and Shane, it will be your worst nightmare to buy anything from them AVOID at all cost.They don’t even deserve 1 star…
Don’t believe any of the other reviews I bet they are fake just like them.
Don’t waste your precious time and hard earned money go somewhere else,I bought a XF and paid £13000 which is for a faulty Car.
