I walked into the sales room without an appointment, I was allocated Josh and made to feel very welcome. I had already seen quite a few cars at other salesrooms, and was a bit overwhelmed and disillusioned. I knew what I wanted in my new car but salespeople kept trying to redirect me to what they had available. Josh asked me what I wanted, then worked through stuff I did not want or need. We whittled it down until we had MY car. I absolutely recommend Vertu Sunderland and specifically Josh.

Hi Christine,
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful 5‑star review. We're delighted to hear that you felt welcomed from the moment you walked into the showroom, especially as you hadn’t booked an appointment. It’s great to know that Josh took the time to listen to exactly what you wanted — and equally what you didn’t — helping you narrow everything down until you found the car that was truly right for you.
We’re so pleased that this experience restored your confidence after feeling overwhelmed elsewhere. Your recommendation means a great deal to both Josh and the team at Vertu BMW Sunderland.
Thank you again for your lovely feedback, and we hope you enjoy every moment in your new car.
Kind regards,
Liza

“Approved used” seems to mean nothing

“Approved used” seems to mean nothing.

I bought an approved used BMW, when the car engine failed, it transpired that the car does not have full service history.
The result, either keep the car, or they buy it back just above the trade in value.
BMWs customer service response is that it’s not anything to do with them! BMW say it’s down to the dealership…. Yes, the ones who messed up.
They screwed up selling the car and the expect me to stomach any costs involved in replacing it.

Excellent experience of buying a new car

Chris explained how the car worked and introduced me to the dashboard & the apps involved. He also paired my phone & sorted out what was needed to drive the car.
A bottle of Prosecco was provided and rubber mat guards.

A fab showroom with lots of knowledgeable and attentive staff. My wife and I were treated with great respect. We were even presented with a bottle of wine to celebrate our new 'Beemer'. (when we got home of course). Thanks for everything. Chris

Enjoyable new car experience with Vertu

Very well looked after by Vertu Sunderland. Picked up my new car yesterday and very pleased with the overall experience, Chris who looked after my sales process is very knowledgeable.
I also enquired about a service plan and Chris sorted me a great deal on a monthly plan.

3rd BMW from here.......👍

I walked into the dealership and I was greeted with a smile a hello and an offer of a coffee, good start. Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
From start to finish Nicki Kyle and Martin and the team made the buying process very easy, explaining about the brand and offers available with no pressure and time to think.
Once my decision was made the process was very smooth from the car order to handover and drive away, a real pleasure.
Thankyou. Graham.

Josh Winter

We were welcomed in by Josh Winter, instead of rushing us around the cars, he checked if we had time, then offered us refreshments. We sat and chatted about our requirements and Josh advised us about the best choices, in a considerate manner. We purchased a vehicle and would go back to Vertu, and definitely ask for Josh!
