A quality product and good service by sales staff Didn't feel pushed into a quick sale, time given to peruse at leisure and test drive. Offered after sales but respected I didn't want anything and they have followed through to see if we're happy with the car. Did recommend to friend who also purchased a vehicle. Could do better by supplying a paper copy of the mot as not everyone has the resources to print one.

Good, friendly service. The staff at Telfords were very professional and friendly, but not "pushy". The process of part exchanging my car for a new model was handled well, the whole process was made very easy. There are a couple of outstanding issues with the new car, which will hopefully be sorted out just as efficiently. I would recommend Telfords to others.

Just bought my Citroen C3 Aircross. Can I just say that Jack Telford was a fantastic salesman. Wasn't pushy like some sales man can be. Explained everything to us and managed to beat Arnold Clarks value of my old car. Many thanks for everything Jack.

100% recommend. Excellent experience and I would definitely use again. I'd go as far to say the best buying experience of a car to date. Jack was consistent, polite, punctual and zero heavy sales, literally zero. Made the process feel very relaxed and unpressurised. As for my car? I'm in love.

A safe pair of hands. Telford's enjoys being a family-run company with all the usual advantages of low staff turnover, intense company loyalty and customer service that such management/sales structures brings to their mission. I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Telford's for their staff courtesy, professionalism and quality of product.

- Michael Ross

- Julie Jenkins

First rate, excellent. I was very pleased with the total experience of purchasing the car. The car was in immaculate condition after its service and valeting.The sales rep Alex was really sociable and knowledgeable, he explained everything in detail. Which put me at ease. I look forward to many happy hours of driving and the assurance and confidence in future years servicing with Telfords.

A friendly relaxed approach to car buying. Although I didn't buy a car from Telfords, I have to leave a review. I felt very welcomed by Jack and as though nothing was too much trouble. I got my rather long list of potential cars down to just 3, so I was back here on a number of occasions, with a different question or wanting to view or test drive a different car to be certain I was buying a car I'd be happy with. I felt terrible to tell him I'd chosen a BMW over the DS7. For a friendly, relaxed approach to buying a car, I'd certainly recommend Telfords.

Hassle free car purchase Telford have been great at doing all the work on setting up my new car, and trading in my old one. It made the purchase so easy. I live 100 miles away from Telford but it was well worth the distance to get a great service. Highly recommend using Telford to buy a new car hassle free.

Love my new car Great service very helpful and thoughtful. I loved my old car and was very attached to it, and got a bit upset selling it, but you were very understanding and I now love my car as much. Hopefully the service I have booked for the next three years will be good and my car will last me another ten years as my other car did.

Low Mileage Quality Car Arranged to take a look at 3 used cars - all were ready and waiting when I arrived. Given plenty of time to test drive and look round each car with out any pressure selling. Got a very low mileage car fully serviced and MOT for the year. Free MOT for life of the car and comprehensive warranty and breakdown cover for the first year included. Would consider Telfords again for a used car., Thanks to Jack for everything.

I bought a Citroen C4 Cactus from them in 2019 . I've always had it serviced with them and had an excellent experience . It hasn't needed much except routine servicing , but a couple of minor warranty repairs were done with no quibbles. The staff are friendly and helpful.  It's a three generation family business which no doubt helps.
