Great company

Josh went the extra mile. It wasn't just that my new car isn't a manual - Josh is simply an automatic in customer service. No clutch, but the personal touch. Eco mode or sport? ..he puts in the thought.

Excellent customer service from George at Rw cars

I found my car on Auto-trader and ended up getting in touch with George from Rw cars on their business WhatsApp, he was very quick to answer any questions I had from start to finish and because of that it was a very easy process, I highly recommend this company and will definitely be going back to them again in the future.

Who do they think they are?!!

RW cars have a lovely shiny showroom with a state of the art coffee machine...that's where the story ends. My son had set his heart on an Audi A5 & was looking forward to test driving it, the car was 19k & he would've been a cash buyer. However, he returned home stating that the salesman was dismissive, patronising & basically showed zero interest in selling him a car. Im assuming because he's only 20, the 'salesman' wrongly (& arrogantly) assumed he wouldnt be able to afford it! As much as he liked the car, theres plenty more businesses out there that deserve good ratings. When you run a business, customer service & basic manners should be a staple, clearly lacking here. It was a no brainer to go elsewhere.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that your son left feeling disappointed, as that's certainly not the experience we aim to provide. At RW Cars, we pride ourselves on creating a relaxed, stress-free buying environment where our customers can browse and consider their options without feeling under pressure from pushy sales tactics.

It's possible that our sales approach, which is intentionally low-pressure, may have come across as dismissive, but we can assure you that we never judge customers based on their age or make assumptions about their ability to purchase a vehicle. We treat every customer with the same respect and courtesy, whether they're buying their first car or their fiftieth.

We're naturally disappointed that your son felt this way, particularly as he had found a car he really liked. We genuinely wish him all the best with his new purchase and appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective, as feedback always gives us the opportunity to reflect on how we're perceived.

Highly recommended. I have had bad experiences at garages before but George was outstanding from start to finish. I would gladly make the trip back to RW cars in Derby for my next car, great selection of quality cars and George provided a real quality buying experience.

Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review!

We're delighted to hear that what started as a visit to find a new car for yourself ended with both you and your wife driving away in cars you loved! It's great to know that Mark looked after you so well and that you were happy with both the prices and the part-exchange valuation.

We really appreciate your recommendation and hope you both enjoy your new cars. If there's ever anything we can help with in the future, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Enjoy the new cars!

Stewart, Top Man

We had Stewart to help me finance my new A3, he explained everything really well as it is the first time I have done this. He made something which I was initially somewhat nervous about a good experience. Top man. Will be coming back to RW Cars Derby in the future.

Horrific aftercare

Don’t buy if you value after care.
Because there is none.
Service from the team and especially Alfie was appalling. He did nothing but try and insert his dominance in the form of continuously speaking over me. Extremely condescending and sarcastic. All I needed was some one to understand my point in regard to an issue instead I was met with lack of care of regard to the situation. Even if you have proof of a problem it does not mean anything to them, as soon as you leave that show room it is your problem.

Great experience with RW

We bought our car from RW today and dealt with Stewart - at no point did we feel under pressure to make any decisions and Stewart was kind, patient and friendly. Overall very pleased with the experience and wouldn't hesitate returning next time we are in the market for a new car.

Very good garage

Recently bought a car from this garage and had a good experience from start to finish. Harry, the salesman who dealt with me, was helpful, straightforward, and easy to deal with throughout the process. There was no pressure, everything was explained clearly, and any questions I had were answered promptly.

The car was exactly as described and the whole purchase process was smooth and hassle-free. Overall, I’m very happy with the service I received and would happily recommend this garage to others.
