Faultless experience

I could not fault the experience. Had c with Barrett’s Ashford. Tim was very understanding of my situation and made sure that the Countryman was the right car for me. He was knowledgeable about the whole range ands explained everything clearly. Myself and my friends will be back to use Tim again. Thank you Tim!!
