Highly professional caring staff.

I was seeking to purchase a Ford Puma St and approached Vertu Ford at Durham. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the vehicle I was seeking. Although the car I was after was at Bolton Vertu Ford they arranged for the car to be brought up. I was kept informed about when the car was available to view at Durham. The car was as described and proceeded with the purchase. The salesperson who was dealing with the purchase was Jessica. The whole process was fully explained and fully understood all aspects of the transaction. Sales staff are extremely knowledgeable and polite. A week later I picked up the car which was immaculately presented.
I cannot thank Jessica and the rest of the staff for their help and guidance .
First class garage if you are looking to purchase a new or used Ford.

Value car purchase

From ringing and enquiring about a car I saw through autotrader and then onto there website, ford durham was great with my questions and passed it to morgan who helped me with these.
Paid a refundable reservation incase the car sold until I could view it, which I think is a fab idea as I was travelling further afield to view it.

Got call back from Morgan asking if there was anything I wanted him to focus on the car until I viewed it in person and videos of the car was then sent to me via txt.

Turned up for my appointment and was smooth sailing from there, viewed it, test drove, bought it.
Easy purchasing and smooth handover when collecting the car, jobs I asked to be rectified where done before collection all relevant documents recived.

Purchased from there value range which launched on the 1st April this year, and I think it's a great idea for people with smaller budgets like myself.

Car was brought upto standard through themselves before selling to customers to make them road worthy again and could totally tell this when testing and driving it home it's like brand new!

No pressure on the upsells which you can add on for very reasonable prices.

All around a great experience purchasing this car no pressure from Morgan on anything.
Would recommend this garage 👌.

She also gave us space to make our decision on purchasing the car without any pressure. All the staff we met at this dealership were very pleasant and nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend Vertu Ford Durham to anyone who is looking to buy a Ford car.

Vertu Ford Durham - Friendly and Professional

I have just changed my car at Vertu Ford Durham and want to let you know about the excellent service I had from start to finish. The whole team are very friendly and welcoming but I must give the biggest thank you to Morgan who was so helpful, friendly and reassuring throughout. He answered all my many questions with the patience of a saint! On collection day I was thrilled to have the car unveiled in the showroom and so pleased that Morgan took the time to go through all the instructions with me before I set off in my gleaming blue Ford Focus. I can highly recommend this dealer, having had some pressured conversations at other dealers along the way. Thank you Vertu Durham!
