“Have dealt with Haynes since 1986, yes things change over the years but doesn’t everything. Same with everything though they are only as good as their last job, so on that note yes I’m very happy. From the out of hours Internet contact, receiving a call first thing the following morning, booking in, dropping off, being updated on the issue and pricing, a phone call to say it’s ready and then picking up. All smoothly done. A couple of days later a phone call to see how things went. All good, keep up the good work and thanks again.”

“Our Salesman was excellent throughout. He was always available when needed and kept us up to date with progress. An unexpected delay in purchase was explained clearly and the situation resolved as soon as possible. We particularly liked the video he produced which we can keep referring to as we get to know the car. He has reassured us he is available to help at any time and this will probably be needed as we are not very IT literate! We were surprised how much the technology has changed since our last purchase but hope to master it soon. Thank you for all your help.”
