Been a Haynes customer for 18 years and the service provided has not dipped.”

“My daughter had brought a vehicle from a second hand car dealer with numerous faults and the dealer was being difficult, causing more problems with the vehicle each time they took it back for alleged repairs. We explained the situation to Haynes Maidstone and have to say they have been the only car place that were kind, respectful, helpful and patient. Shout out to your advisor who kept us abreast of all things and was kind enough to allow Haynes to keep the vehicle as we had to wait for the car dealer to make decisions on the repairs. Other people spoken to were also efficient and understanding. Gave us back some faith that not all car dealerships are cowboys! Thank you!!!”
