Excellent service from start to finish!!
We were greeted with a very warm welcome by Olivia. Olivia dealt with our new car and went above and beyond to help us. When we picked our new car up again all staff were welcoming and the manager was also very tentative. We want to thank you for an excellent professional service.

Hi Sonja,

I’m sorry that your experience fell below the standard we expect. While I’m pleased Rehan supported and reassured you, the overall experience was clearly disappointing. Following your call with Adnan, we will review what happened internally and address any service failings identified. 

Thanks,

I have had a very good experience of buying a car through Hippo. From the enquiry through to reaching Matthew Knowles on the process in sales on purchasing and then receiving the car this morning from Nick. Great communication throughout, I would highly recommend this company. To be honest a breath of fresh on customer service when buying the car. Well informed, polite and attentive answering all queries. A trusted company with good processes in place for everything.

Thank you Bhav
