Excellent service by Sue McGlade

I dealt with Sue McGlade at all stages of the buying process and she was excellent. She explained all the options clearly, showed me the vehicles that I was interested in and made sure that I made an informed choice. She managed all stages of the process very efficiently in a very pleasant and professional manner.

Andrew! The man to go to…

After having a negative experience with my local branch, the professionalism, politeness, and customer service that Andrew provided completely changed my experience with BMW. He made the whole process so smooth and reassuring that I was more than willing to travel nearly 300 miles there and back to collect a car from Vertu BMW Durham.

Hats off to Andrew for truly going the extra mile to make sure I was looked after every step of the way. As this was my first BMW, the experience was incredibly important to me, and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

A huge thank you to Andrew — I’ll definitely be returning in the future.

Unparalleled service and customer focus

We’ve used VERTU BMW for 18 years, and bought 8 cars from them, and their standard of excellence and customer focus continues unparalleled. Jon Caine was everything one could hope for when purchasing a new car: personable, customer focused, and professional. If you want a first class service from a dedicated team, from Will the manager, to the administration staff, then Vertu BMW is the company for you. Unreservedly recommended and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
