“Good dealership and an asset to the Ford brand – always a very warm welcome relaxed atmosphere and never intimidating.  This is important as not all customers are the same and they make what could be a daunting experience for some people a pleasure.  I watched this happen on a number of occasions as it interests me professionally.  They have a great customer ethos and are enthusiastic/highly knowledgeable about all the products”.

“All process very well organised”.

“The car turned up sooner than expected, so that was good”.

“I would like to do business with Haynes again in the future.  They changed my perception and impressions of Ford in a very positive way.  There was an issue on collection day but Haynes stepped up and made my experience even better by the way that it was handled and corrected.  Haynes turned a problem into an opportunity to make a customer very happy.  Their response and handling of the issue was exemplary.  I am 100% satisfied.  I am also delighted with the product.  It’s a long time since I owned a new Ford and after 27 years of Mercedes-Benz ownership I have reassessed my thoughts about Ford and am very interested in buying more new Fords in the future.  Thank you for making such great cars”.
