Very approachable

Very approachable, I dealt with Paul Souter, was originally supposed to look at the car a few days prior but a defect was noticed by Paul with the wheels so he had them refurbed for me for free. Attention to detail is brilliant and very friendly bloke.

Would definitely recommend, customer service was brilliant.

Got in touch with Paul Laidler about a car I saw online and from the enquiry to the purchase he has been very helpful and friendly with sorting all the logistics out so I only had to worry about getting there and seeing the car. On the day it was a smooth process. I was given as much time as I needed to check the car and it was easy to test drive the car. Happy with the customer service.

Bought a car from Redgate lodge…

Bought a car from Redgate lodge Newcastle and I must say the experience I got from my salesman Will was fantastic from start to finish.

The car which was a Land Rover defender was presented in very good condition and looked even better with the ceramic coat.

Thanks again to will and the team at redgate lodge.

I had an excellent experience…

I had an excellent experience purchasing my car from Paul. From the initial enquiry through to collection, the service was professional, efficient, and transparent. Paul was knowledgeable, approachable, and took the time to answer all of my questions, ensuring I was fully informed throughout the process.

The vehicle was exactly as described, presented to a very high standard, and the entire purchase was handled with honesty and integrity. It was clear that customer satisfaction is a priority, and the level of service exceeded my expectations.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul Souter to anyone looking to purchase a quality vehicle. A genuinely first-class experience from start to finish.

Poor customer service

If I could give Zero stars I would.
Rude, unhelpful sales person, absolutely lacking in social skills.
Very off putting, wouldn't like to return.
