Only went for a look!
I only went into Gloucester Vertu BYD simply to look at a BYD Seal (and see if I could get a test drive)! - I had already ordered one through a leasing company, but never physially seen one. The service received from Harvey and Gareth, coupled with the price they were able to offer, resulted in me cancelling the original order and leasing through Vertu. Professional throughout and brilliant customer service.

Great service from Bristol Street Ford!
We recently purchased a Ford Puma 123kW Electric from Bristol Street Ford, and we couldn’t be happier with both the car and the service we received.
From the moment we walked
into the dealership, we were made to feel genuinely welcome. the salesperson was fantastic throughout the entire process—friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything about the car, answered all of our questions clearly, and made sure we felt completely comfortable with our decision.
Collecting the car was also a great experience, everything was done smoothly and professionally, big thanks to all.

A Shame
Enquired about a 26 plate Seal, and all was going great until they advised the roof glass was split.
After a bit of emails back and forth, with the dealer trying to establish a sale, I decided to cancel the sale and asked for my £99 holding deposit to be refunded (this did not happen) after a bit of further communication, they decide totally ignoring me was the best way forward for them.
Up until that point they had been ok,
It is a shame they were not very helpful in the end, they had the car I wanted, but clearly did not want my business, but were happy to hang onto my reservation deposit.

Hi Mark. Firstly can I apologise for the apparent poor service provided by my team and have asked Gareth Rees Jones our BYD Sales Manager to investigate your concern and put things right for you. We strive to provide the very best level of service possible and on this occasion appear to have fallen short of this objective. Kind Regards, Bob Grant. General Manager
Pressure free purchase
Pressure free purchase. Great communication. I have bought several new cars over the years. The experience can be daunting with loads of pressure to buy extras and stressful negotiations. This was not the case at all with Connor at Vertu Gloucester. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made buying a new car the joy that it should be. Thank you Connor!

Friendly salesman
Friendly salesman, but was a bit disappointed that even after I said I wanted to pay cash and explained why I was still asked by the manager why I didn’t want finance and did I realised it offered me more protection, it was verging on hard sell.
Apart from that everything went smoothly and I was over the moon with the car

Buying a new car can feel overwhelming
Buying a new car can feel overwhelming, but my experience was made genuinely straightforward thanks to Georgina. From the very beginning, she was incredibly helpful and clearly knew her stuff. What stood out most was her honesty — she didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear, but instead gave realistic, practical advice that helped me make a well-informed decision.
Georgina kept my expectations grounded while still making the process feel exciting, which I really appreciated. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood each step along the way. Communication was excellent throughout — I was regularly updated on progress, so I never felt left in the dark.
Overall, it was a smooth and positive experience, and I’d absolutely recommend working with Georgina if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely supportive when buying a car.

Steven Bill - outstanding service from start to finish
Steven Bill was absolutely fantastic with regarding the sale of our new Puma. Steven asked what we required in a new car and produced 2 options for us to consider. He was very informative, down- to- earth, professional and engaging throughout. Steven followed up on phone calls; took the time to go through all the functions of the car and ensured I felt confident to drive the car away from the fore-court. Nothing was too much trouble. Steven made the buyer of our new car stress free and such an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend him.

Really helpful staff
From the time that we saw the advert on line for the car, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We visited Vertu in Gloucester, were made welcome, went for a test drive and said yes to purchasing the car. We might have hit a snag as we didn't have either mobile phone with us and couldn't leave the deposit. NO problem, an easy (and kind for two not very savvy tech users) option was suggested. Everything went through and we now have a new car. Thank you!
