I’ve had my Cupra Born a week now and I’m really happy with the whole experience at Seat Derby. The manager Mark was really helpful for initial booking and then I was looked after by Ben Tomlinson on the day. A quick turnaround as I wanted to take the car the same day but it was no problem at all for the team. Ben helped to set the car up to my preferences before I was on my way home. Very pleasant experience and would recommend.

Just purchased our second car from this dealership. We did not know how enjoyable buying a car from SEAT Derby could be on both occasions. We saw Ben Tomlinson this time and from our first contact to vehicle handover he was very professional, helpful and knowledgeable always with a smile. Ben is a credit to the business along with the management team , Ryan and Tom, who we met during our visits. Nothing was too much trouble and would certainly recommend this dealership to anyone buying a vehicle.

I have been a Seat Derby customer for a number of years now and this time I had initially dealt with Tom and Joe.

On the day of collection of the new car Ben was who helped me out with the handover and he was great really appreciated him getting it all sorted in quick time as I had to be somewhere at a particular time.

All the team on the day were great thank you for getting sorted for me quickly.

Vertu Derby excellent service

It was Keisi that dealt with me from the start to actually buying the car
She researched really well to find me the right car with all the required options . The car itself is amazing and a dream to drive. I wasn't sure about it being automatic so Keisi was patient with me on the test drive to ensure I was comfortable with it. I would recomend Keisi, particularly for any nervous female who gets intimidated by sales men.Thank you Keisi and if I ever need another car I will come back to you. I love my automatic vw T-Roc xx

Good afternoon Linda,

Thank you for such a lovely review. I’m really pleased to hear how well Keisi looked after you throughout the whole process. It’s great to know she took the time to research the right car with all the options you wanted, and that her patience on the test drive helped you feel completely comfortable with switching to an automatic.

Your comments about feeling supported — especially as someone who can feel intimidated by sales environments — are truly appreciated, and I know Keisi will be delighted to hear how much her approach meant to you.

I’m thrilled that you love your automatic VW T‑Roc — it sounds like the perfect choice for you.

Thank you again for the recommendation and your kind words.

Kind regards,
Dean

Tried to arrange to buy a car, said I was coming up on the Saturday with a car to part exchange, was told without a video call it wasn't possible to do. Someone then purchased the car on the Saturday despite me asking to reserve it etc, poor service, AVOID

Dan, was very knowledgeable and not pushy at all, he talked me through all the technical stuff and was very patient as I'm not the best.
We're very happy with our Renault Symbioz and would recommend Vertu to our family and friends

Bought new Arona ( pre reg) Andy was very helpful as most of deal done over phone .
Part exchange valuation fair and after sending video and pics price agreed and kept to when I turned up to collect car.
All paperwork handled quickly and efficiently. Everything explained and car already less than 24hrs after initial phone call.
All in all happy customer and would happily go back to Andy although it’s 100 mile away.

Good afternoon. Thank you, Karl, for the fantastic 5‑star review. We’re delighted to hear how smoothly everything went with your Arona purchase, especially with most of the deal handled over the phone. It’s great to know you found the part‑exchange valuation fair and that the agreed price was honoured when you arrived to collect the car.
Andy will be thrilled to hear your feedback — from the clear explanations to the efficient paperwork and quick turnaround, it’s wonderful that the whole process was completed within 24 hours of your initial call.
We really appreciate your kind words and your willingness to travel such a distance. It means a lot to the team at SEAT Derby, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Kerry

Perfection as always as I now come to expect from Seat Cupra Derby’s service

Another fantastic experience with vertu. Third car I have bought at the Seat Cupra Derby branch now and have never been let down with the care and service. Keisi, Matt and the rest of the team have been amazing as usual and I’m sure I’ll be with them for number 4! Thanks guys.

Had very good service throughout from Vertu Seat Derby in purchasing my new car.
Fitz was excellent in showing me everything I was interested in for my car needs and helping in selecting what was right for me.
I was kept updated with progress on the order and he spent a lot of time assisting me in setting up my vehicle and phone options (I'm not good with technology). Would definitely recommend and although it is only my first day with the car I am very pleased with it. Very good service!
