Excellent service and very helpful staff

Excellent service and very helpful staff. The car was ready to view when we arrived and Mark was very knowledgable, so able to answer all our questions.
We didn’t feel pressured to buy at any point but on deciding to purchase, Iain was happy to go through a number of finance options with us and happy for us to make a decision at leisure. I would; and have already, recommended Sytner Harold Wood. Many thanks.

Professional and knowledgeable staff at Sytner Harold Wood

Great experience at Sytner Harold Wood, made so by very helpful, knowledgable and polite staff.
All information and negotiation regarding the car and financing was explained clearly and the appointment felt completely unhurried which left me feeling confident about any decisions made and with no pressure to make any immediate commitment . Iain was particularly helpful regarding explanation of finance options and Mark was very personable and helpful regarding the sale.

Buying a car from MINI was one of the…

Buying a car from MINI was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a dealership. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with genuine respect and kindness. The team made me feel completely at ease – there was no pressure, no pushy sales tactics, just real people who genuinely wanted to help me find the right car.
What stood out the most was how comfortable the whole process felt. They took the time to listen to what I was looking for and answered all my questions without rushing or making me feel overwhelmed. Everything was transparent, relaxed, and surprisingly enjoyable.
Thank you to Oliver swan who was extremly helpful throughout.

Excellent service

I recently bought a new car at the Sytner Harold Wood dealership. A special mention must go to Harvey Page, who went above and beyond in every aspect of the sales process. Harvey’s attention to detail was outstanding—he kept me informed at every stage, ensuring I always knew what was happening and what to expect next.

This wasn’t just about selling a car; it was about providing a truly exceptional customer experience. Harvey’s professionalism, coupled with his caring and attentive approach, made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. I left not only with a fantastic car, but also with the feeling that I’d been truly looked after from start to finish.

Highly recommend Harvey Page and the entire team for anyone looking for first-class service and a personal touch.

Excellent at selling but hopeless at refunding.

The sales person we dealt with, sorry can’t remember his name, was extremely helpful and we transferred a £500 refundable holding deposit on the car for 48 hours on the 14th February. Unfortunately we decided it wasn’t the car for us and requested a refund on the 16th which we were told would be back in our bank account within 3-5 working days. On the 25th February still no refund. I phoned Sytner Harold Wood seven times each time being told I would receive a call back but nothing happened. On my eighth call I spoke to Faye Pemberton who informed me that I would need to email them the account details to which the refund was to be made before a transaction could be completed, at no time were we told this. Had I not called this money would still be sitting in their account. Thank you Faye just wish everyone else had been more helpful.

Great service and attention to detail…

Great service and attention to detail from Oliver Swan at Sytner Harold Wood. Having found the Mini we wanted at the Coventry branch, we talked to Oliver about arranging a test drive in a similar (different colour) car at HW as it was nearest to us. He took time to talk us through all the details of the Mini type we were keen on, ensuring we were buying the right car for our needs and organised the test drive. Whilst waiting for 'our' car to go through all the necessary Mini approvals etc at Coventry Sytner, he proactively kept us informed and was always quick to respond to any enquiries. The handover a few days later was prompt and easy. Never pushy, always helpful, kind and courteous - Oliver was a pleasure to deal with and the Mini is fab!

New car purchase. Sytners Harold Wood

We purchased a new Mini countryman ably assisted by Oliver Swan. He was courteous throughout the procedure and kept us informed of developments.
Thanks to him the whole experience was hassle free.
He also explained, to two technophobes, the new technology on the car and the set up of various applications. We actually understood the system very quickly thanks to his patience and understanding.
I would recommend Sytners and in particular Oliver Swan if you are intent on purchasing a Mini.

Sytner Head Office needs to improve

I bought a Mini Clubman from Sytner via their Harold Wood dealership. Katie was exemplary, and was very focussed on us, as customers.
Having paid the deposit and chased up the final invoice I paid the balance within hours, on a Friday, for the agreed collection on Saturday.
The Sytner Group financial system went down late Friday afternoon.
We were driving for two hours to collect the car - to be told, when we were nearly there, by the dealer that it wasn't going to happen. We continued as we had planned our whole day around collecting the car.
Sytner Group HQ (where the financial system is) finish work on Friday at 5pm - after the system had gone down. Not open on Saturday. So the sales team at Harold Wood could not check to see I had paid - no planning to cover this off by Sytner Group (somebody on standby to check their bank accounts for example).
We could not collect the car and had to drive all the way home again - revising our plans for the weekend. Promised a gesture of goodwill (still to happen) and the car was eventually delivered to us on Monday lunchtime.
Great service from the team at Harold Wood - totally unsupported by their Head Office.
