Testimonials

Mark Crake, AutoSleeper Motorhome

We bought our first Motorhome from Flemings having searched high and low for a high quality but good value one. From the outset Craig & Matt were knowledgeable and informative without being pushy like so many other dealers including main dealers. We were given all the time and space we needed to check the MH over and discuss matters privately. We explained our situation of having to wait for the funds and they were fabulous.

They did not harry us but stayed in touch at agreed intervals.
On purchase day they again were very helpful and polite.
A couple of weeks after purchase we had a small issue and they rectified it immediately even though it wasn’t actually covered in the warranty.

They took the stress out of the whole situation. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend these gentlemen to anyone looking for either a motorhome or a prestige car which they had a few and I couldn’t resist taking a look at.
Check them out they are first class.

Mark Mags, Mercedes C Class, Dorset

Just purchased a 2010 Mercedes Benz C Class estate via Craig. Real pleasant experience and delighted with our new car. Reputable genuine car dealer with an honest likeable personality. Arranged easy collection facilitating a quick drive away experience. I would certainly recommend this company to purchase a quality, reliable pre-owned car………….. Thank you Craig!!

Alan McConachie, Mercedes GLE, Scotland

I simply could not recommend these guys enough. I purchased a 2017 GLE and everything was smooth from start to finish. Service impeccable and the car was prepared absolutely beyond my expectations. Great spec and great price given the spec. They were good enough to meet me at the airport to avoid adding another hour onto my 11 hour drive home. I fully intend to use them again for purchasing my next car.

Alan McConachie
Andy Owens, Mercedes E Class Cabriolet

The most genuine and helpful guys I’ve ever bought a car from…..a seamless and enjoyable experience! I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.

Andy Owens
Tom Evans, BMW Z4 M Sport

Outstanding service – Matt and the team are very professional and made the whole process of buying a car a breeze. Matt couldn’t have been more helpful which made me feel very comfortable and at ease through the purchase. This is a genuine, reliable dealership – there is no ‘pushiness’ or pressure, just good, honest advice and knowledge.

I would not hesitate to use Flemings Specialist Cars again for my next car purchase.

Thanks again Matt for all your help!

David & Amanda, Audi A1 Sport

Thank you Matt and Craig an excellent service very attentive nothing too much trouble this is how car sales should be done. Audi was handed over in pristine condition and I will cherish it for years to come. I will recommend you too all family and friends, thanks again for a great service. David and Amanda R.

Will Gardner, Transit Connect

Found the vehicle online on a Wednesday evening, called Flemings and spoke to Matt first thing Thursday morning, and I drove away in my new vehicle the same afternoon. Incredibly efficient & professional service. No pushy car salesman just friendly and honest.

Peter Hills, Golf GTI TCR

What a great buying experience. Matt couldn’t have been more helpful and made the whole thing a breeze. Never bought from a small specialist company before but they made it all so easy, ensuring we were happy how the car functioned and drove and also giving us the time whilst viewing to make our decision about buying the Golf GTi TCR. What a car.

Ps and they’ll dog sit for you when you go for a test drive, can’t fault that.

Peter Hills
Gary Webster, Skoda Yeti

Visited for 2nd time to view a skoda yeti. Bought off them previously. Car was as described, any necessary work had been done that was highlighted. Nice thing, car was ready to go, so after test driving, and arranging payment my wife was able to take it home. Needless to say she is very pleased with the car.

Gary Webster
Audi RS4

What a pleasure! Craig was very professional and informative, very impressed with the set up there, quality vehicles I would thoroughly recommend.

Joe Smith
Porsche 911 997 Turbo

Hi Craig & Matt,

Well what can I say, what a machine! After finding reverse 😉 I went for a great first blast after picking it up this evening…..and it didn’t disappoint.
I don’t think I honestly realised how good it was (I had assumptions) as when I took it for a test drive with Craig I didn’t really ‘drive’ it, I think just because it wasn’t my car and Craig was to my left but tonight I got the opportunity to take it by the scruff of the neck and wow, it’s so planted and delivers in such a satisfying way.
I’m so looking forward to getting some miles under my belt which will really start this weekend. It should be a great experience unless we get lost which if so I will totally blame my son as he’s joining me for the ride and holding the role of navigator!

In all seriousness again thank you. You both made this (long running journey, me not you) so pleasurable, helpful and a good crack that I wouldn’t hesitate recommending you to anyone looking for their ‘special’ car and by special I mean one that has appeared in your stock list as you obviously want to ensure that you only offer customers fantastic examples of cars and a service which doesn’t have to be demanded, it just is!

Kind regards and you’ll see me again,

Kevin

Andrew Roberts, Audi A5 Cabriolet

Great service, easily accessible just off the motorway.
Really easy going and genuine dealer.
Felt comfortable and confident all the way through the purchase. And super pleased with my new car! No sales pressure or ambiguity unlike other “Dealers”.
Thanks Matt for all your help!
Would recommend and would not hesitate to buy a car from them again. Cheers!

Andrew Humphries, Range Rover Evoque

I recently purchased a RR Evoque from this company and I could not fault the car or the service given. If you’re in the market for a quality used vehicle, exceptionally well prepared and you want to be sure of both great customer service and good product then look no further. This small quality team are what the used car market should be all about. Thank you guys Andrew H

Adrian, Audi Q5

Outstanding level of service and attention to detail. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their cars. All stock is on point. Would fully recommend that you consider these guys, they are not in any way stereotypical second hand car dealers. They are passionate about what they do and source excellent vehicles. I will use again in the future.

Matthew Harris, Renault

This is the best car dealer I’ve ever dealt with. Incredible service Matt and Craig are the nicest pair of chap’s I’ve ever come across when buying a car. Honest and have loads of time for you. I would buy again from them differently. I would recommend to anyone. Their cars are so clean and very well prepped.

Edvardas Vezelis, Mercedes CLS

Have purchased Mercedes-Benz CLS few months ago, very pleased with the car, Craig was very helpful within all of the aspects in regards with the car, great communication.

Tom Medlock, Mini John Cooper Works

It only takes a moment to have a look at the calibre of cars this garage has selected for sale to know that this isn’t just a run of the mill second hand dealers. Picking up my new car I knew it was going to be something special, and I wasn’t disappointed. A stunning example immaculately detailed inside and out. Very professional outfit and great service from genuine car enthusiasts.

Jonathan Neads

Fantastic service!! I was looked after by Matt and Craig, nothing was too much trouble for them to assist you in buying a vehicle off them. The quality of the vehicles on offer mirrors the experience; you don’t find many traders/garages like this.

Livio Fenga, BMW Z4

Those guys know how business should be done. Impressive, those guys are nothing less than that. They are professional, kind with a long professional story under their belt. It shows! I still have to collect my car, but I felt pressed to write this review as I want to give my little contribution in letting the market know how business is done at Flemings. Needless to say, my Z4 is in a superb condition, thoroughly and professionally checked by a qualified Garage. Everything is laid out for the prospect buyer to see. Finally, the shop might be found not to be super close to the railway station but they kindly picked me up at the station.

Andy Street, Jaguar

Just got back to the Midlands…..the Jag was faultless. A credit to the previous owner. Thankyou for your help during the purchase of the car. Jules and I are delighted.

Sam Wiltshire, BMW 1 Series

Matt was amazing and put us at ease when purchasing our BMW. Very friendly and nothing was too much trouble, even picked us up from the train station on the day of collection. Clearly has a big interest in cars and takes great pride in his work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Richard Hart, BMW 440i M Sport

Hey Matt,
Just wanted to drop you a line and say how very pleased I am with the BMW 440i… such a lovely example !
It took me 6 hrs 15 to drive back on Friday but I thoroughly enjoyed it, even when sitting in traffic… in fact I had someone pull up beside me in the car to compliment it… they were in a remapped 330i or something so obviously a BMW nerd – !
Just wanted to say thanks again : )

Tom Andrews, BMW 320d M Sport

Only had the car 1 day but the experience with Craig and Matt was very professional and friendly, the 126 mile drive home was fantastic in the new car! Recommend.

Jasmine Bryan, Audi TT

I bought a beautiful Audi TT from Flemings Specialist Cars. My whole experience dealing with them were brilliant , Matt was so friendly and very helpful from the beginning from providing me with the directions for my viewing of the car hours before the appointment and answering all of my queries very promptly. The car itself was in immaculate condition and it had been provided with a new MOT and service. With an added 3 month parts & labour warranty. My whole experience of purchasing this car couldn’t of gone any smoother and I am absolutely delighted with my beautiful car. I would recommend Flemings Specialist Cars to anyone . 5* service.

Gary & Mandy Dalton, Jeep Grand Cherokee

Excellent customer service from 1st contact to purchase. They have top class cars and would most definitely recommend Flemings to everyone looking for outstanding quality cars, with a service to match.

Roman K, Porsche Cayenne

Absolutely amazing experience buying a car!!! Such a professional and customer orientated behaviour….

Peter Preston, Audi A3 eTron

Easy to do business with, cars were well presented and Matt and Craig are both knowledgeable and interested in cars, which is unusual…
excellent and professional

Peter Preston
Paul Harrison, Range Rover Vogue SE

I just wanted to say a big thank you for everything you have done to help facilitate a smooth and pleasant experience when purchasing my Range Rover Vogue SE. I appreciated the courteous and helpful manner during our telephone conversations and your willingness to stop what you were doing to check the car for some points that I raised. It was also greatly appreciated to agree to hold the car for a week until I could get down to view it and being met on time at the train station after a 6 hour journey to ‘ferry’ us to the show room. On arrival it was good to see that the car immaculately presented and ready for a test drive. The purchase and ‘paperwork’ process was completed in an efficient and accommodating way. However, what impressed me the most was your willingness to quickly resolve an issue I had with a tail light that wasn’t working properly when i returned home despite being over 200 miles away. To source, pay for and courier a whole new light unit (expensive!!) despite it not being covered in the warranty just shows what an outstanding customer orientated business Flemings Specialist Cars are. Top marks to both you and Craig, I definitely would recommend you based upon my experience.

Paul Harrison
John Brooks, Porsche Cayenne

I purchased a Porsche Cayenne last weekend from Craig Fleming, I am in the motor trade myself and can with some experience spot the good, Bad and ugly a mile off. I can honestly say Craig and Flemings cars are top of this list and as good as they get. I was away for the weekend some 400 miles from home and have been looking for a Porsche Cayenne for some time, I spotted this one 25mins from where we was staying and rang out of hours hoping there was a answer phone to leave a message. Craig was out with family on a Sunday afternoon and offered to meet me around 7pm on my way home to view. After many dealers jumping all over me as soon as I arrived Craig was a breath of fresh air, he welcomed me and my wife as if a normal working day opened the showroom , gave us the keys and walked away and let his car do all the talking. It was as near to perfect a used car can be, the vehicle had been cleaned to a high standard but had not had anything to try and hide the slight ware and tear marks a used car should have. I purchased the Porsche wit a good warranty included and peace of mind that Craig new his stuff. If I could give 10 stars I would. Top marks for a top dealer. Thanks Craig !!!!!

John Brooks
Jon Woods, Fiesta ST

Saw a car we liked on the internet so phoned and reserved explaining we would take away same day The car was immaculately presented and true to word drove away the same day. Both salesman were very friendly and easy to talk to. No salesman faff talk here no pressure and no hype. They know their stuff and wouldn’t sale if they weren’t happy with the car. Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase a car from them again or recommend to others.

Jon Woods
Cris MacDonnell, Audi TT

Just purchased a car from them. Very happy with the service I received and the quality of the vehicle. Friendly and helpful, dealing with them was a pleasure. Would recommend using them if they have a vehicle you are interested in. They have some great cars (and a lovely dog, in the office) so worth checking out. Thanks for your help.

Cris MacDonnell
Justin & Kirsten Record, Peugeot 3008

My wife has just bought a Peugeot 3008 2013 from Flemings. What great service was given by Matt. No pressure, very honest and helpful. The car is in a very good condition and was advertised at a fair price. We had the option of a great finance scheme, but we paid in full. With the purchase we had a 6 month free warranty covering mechanicals, but all cars are independently inspected thoroughly, with any advisories fixed before sale. My wife’s car was part exchanged at a reasonable price. Thanks Matt for everything, see you when I change my car. All the best, Justin.

Justin & Kirsten Record, Peugeot 3008
Geoff Davies, Mercedes C Class

Recently purchased a Mercedes Benz estate. Was given a fair price on my part exchange. Very friendly and helpful service. I would definitely purchase from them again and would genuinely recommend.

Geoff Davies, Mercedes C Class
Oliver Evans, Audi A4 allroad

Craig and Matt really offer a personal and professional service unlike any garage I have dealt with before . My car was beautifully presented and Matt took time to explain all the features and did the paperwork in just a few minutes. Craig even sent me on my long drive back to London with a large bottle of mineral water !

Oliver Evans, Audi A4 allroad

Jonathan Halford, Audi A4 Avant, Devon

Arrived disillusioned having been to a large dealership earlier in the morning where the condition of the car had been very poor, & in a hurry to find a replacement car.
The contrast could not have been greater.
The car was immaculate; Matt was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable & helpful & made the transaction so easy & painless.
Just a nice experience all round.
Thank you & would thoroughly recommend

Where to start they were amazing from start to finish! As a women I was obviously worried but they don’t pressure you in any way and are completely honest.

You were both very helpful, especially in these uncertain covid times. The wooden floor in the back, is out and just had it’s 5th coat of yacht varnish, to make it mud proof. Thanks Again.

JAMES – MERCEDES C250D ESTATE

I soon decided on the car I wanted, and it was now down to me to find it. It wasn’t long until I came across ‘Flemings Specialist Cars’. Posted in the stock list was the Mercedes C Class I had been looking for… the pictures were stunning, and it was the exact spec I was wanting.

I contacted Craig straight away to see if it was still available, and his response time was remarkable. We discussed the car over the next 24 hours and he could not have been any more helpful… really friendly and overall, professional. My complication was that, I lived 5 hours away, I was also working abroad that week, and I was worried I would lose the car. I called him to explain I would be purchasing the car over the phone on his recommendation. Craig didn’t pressure me into a sale, and actually advised I come and see it the following week. I didn’t want to take this risk, so I placed a deposit.

The following week I arranged to fly in and pick up the car. Craig was on holiday so had his dad Geoff pick me up, and deal with the handover… Geoff is an amazing guy, we had a really good chat, and he told me all about Craig’s passion for selling and racing cars. When we arrived at the garage, the Mercedes was more gorgeous than the pictures… I was blown away. We took it for a test drive, which after half a mile, I said was perfect, and we completed on the car. Although his dad dealt with the handover… Craig was on the phone dealing with the transaction… (even whilst in his holidays)… that type of service is very rare.

I can’t recommend Craig and ‘Flemings Specialist Cars’ highly enough…. fantastic service, beautiful cars, and one happy customer.

JAMES FULTON, AUDI TT, RINGWOOD

Just a quick email to say a big thanks for all your help with buying my new car, which I am really pleased with. But mostly I wanted to say that dealing with you was a total pleasure and that I would never hesitate to recommend you to anyone who is looking to buy a new car. Don’t change you’re a genuinely decent man to deal with and good luck with the McLaren races this season.

ANDY DEAN, BMW X5, NAILSWORTH

When I was looking to replace my BMW X5 with a newer model I came across Flemings and Craig in Autotrader. Craig had a car that looked exactly what I was after and so I got in touch. Right from the start I felt comfortable with Craig and visited him to look over the car which was exactly, if not even better than, as described in the ad and pretty much in showroom condition despite being over 4 years old. To cut a long story short I bought the car and found the whole process with Craig relaxing and stress free, he’s a very easy guy to get on with.

However, the excellent service I received in the sales process didn’t end there – unlike some dealers. Shortly after purchasing it I noticed a leak in the sunroof which only showed up after torrential rain and when it was parked on my sloping drive. This had not shown up previously to Craig as the car had been in his showroom since he received it and only been out for a couple of test drives in the dry. I asked my local independent BMW garage to look at it to see if it was just a dodgy seal, but they could not find anything wrong, so using his contacts Craig had it picked up and returned to my home by Dick Lovett in Bristol, where a crimped pipe was diagnosed as the problem by one of their technicians. Because the pipe was behind a panel, it needed a specialist to fix it and Craig drove up from Bridgwater to my office in Cheltenham with his Dad (lovely chap also), picked the car up, took it to another of his contacts who did a great job of fixing the problem and delivered it back to me in Cheltenham the next day. All at no cost to me. Now that’s great service!

Consequently, I have no hesitation in recommending Flemings and it will be first on my list to find me my next car.

Thanks Craig you are a top man and I wish you continued success in building your business.

MR PHIL BUTT, JAGUAR XKR, BRISTOL

Just to say a great thank you to you Craig for your procurement of the XKR. It truly is a magnificent vehicle and thanks to your efforts is now safely ensconced in pride of place in my garage. I have no hesitation in recommending you to our family and friends.
Phil Butt,

PS – invoice received today – thanks again

STEVE AND JANE COWANS, LAND ROVER DISCOVERY, ESSEX

Good Morning Craig
Just a quick email to say a ‘Big’ thank you for your assistance in the purchase of ‘Deefa’.
The car is Super and you’ve made a not so young lady very happy indeed…!! (Don’t tell her I said that..!!)
All joking aside, you’ve made an expensive transaction almost painless and it has to be said your attention to detail is spot on.
We both wish you all the best & will certainly be in touch again next year when we’re ready for an SL.
Keep smiling…Steve & Janie

MR MATTHEW WHITEWAY, VW TOUAREG, OXFORD

Having searched for a VW Touareg for approx 6 months and after a number of disappointing visits to showrooms, I came across the Touareg that Craig had for sale. The very competitive price first attracted me to the car, but after speaking to Craig on the phone it was clear that he knew everything about the VW and his enthusiasm about my choice of car gave me even more confidence that not only was I buying the right vehicle, but Craig was going to be the right person to buy it from.

Craig was very accommodating with when I could see the car and I immediately felt at ease when I arrived at the showroom – helped in part by the warm welcome of his father, who was quickly on hand to make an exceptional cup of tea and give stories about Craig’s motor racing activities in their Juno sports car!

What also struck me about Craig was that at no point did I feel pressured into buying the car. Everything was agreed quickly, but professionally and he even took the time to drive me around local post offices so I could arrange car tax.

So impressed with the service and quality, I now have Craig looking out for a Porsche 911 for my friend, and I will certainly be coming back when I am ready to change the VW again.

Thanks again Craig,

All the best

Matt

MR WILL MACKENZIE GREEN, AUDI A4 AVANT, EXETER

I contacted Craig over the Christmas period enquiring about an Audi A4. He quickly answered my questions with helpful and positive responses and was able to fit me in for an appointment at short notice.

The car was in great condition and Craig provided an excellent service throughout. I bought the car on the spot and Craig was even able to personally deliver the vehicle the very next day having sorted all of the administrative details.

A great experience and I’m really pleased with the car. Thank you.

See you in three years or so…

TERRY AND JULIE WINDWOOD, MERCEDES C200CDI SPORT, KENT

We started looking for a Class Class Estate when we came across the Fleming Specialist cars website. It was set our very well with a variety of specialist cars, the C Class Estate appealed to us. From the very first contact with Craig we found him very helpful and not at all pushy like the usual car dealers. We liked the pictures on the website and the specs of the vehicle were exactly as it is. We soon arranged to visit and Craig was even prepared to meet us on a Sunday due to our work commitments so we drove up from Kent. We are over the moon with the car and so pleased how efficient from start to finish Craig was.
We would recommend anyone to purchase their next vehicle from Flemings it was definitely worth the trip and we shall be back again for our next one.
We all look forward to seeing you at Brands Hatch next year.

Kind regards

Terry and Julie Windwood

MR DEREK GOACHER, MERCEDES E320CDI, WILTSHIRE

Hi Craig,
Just a quick email to say how fantastic the service you gave us was when we bought our E320 from you. Your follow up support was second to none. Can i suggest to the public that if you are looking for a car, you should give Craig a go as his service is better than any main dealership i have delt with. We will be going back to Craig when we decide to get a new second hand car.
Thanks again Craig,
Regards,
Derek & Diane Goacher.

MR NIGEL PRYOR, AUDI A4 AVANT, CORNWALL

MR AND MRS KEN AND LINDA WARD, HONDA CIVIC, GLOUCESTER

Hi Craig,

Just a couple of lines to say thanks to you and your father on the purchase of the Honda Civic,now I know it’s not one of your sales jundging by the car on your web site but it was presented in the same way as the AudI’s & rest of your specilaist cars.
It was a refreshing experience on how to buy a car in a relaxed,friendly but professional way.
We will be back as and when we are looking for other cars.
Oh and good luck for the rest of the racing season.

MR JON SHORT, SKODA OCTAVIA VRS, CORNWALL

Craig,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say the Skoda is superb – really pleased. Does everything really well be it long distance, loaded up with bikes, surf boards, drum kits etc plus room for 5 comfortably. Nice and quick and decent MPG.

Will probably contact you in a couple of years to source another one !

Thanks again,

KARL TAYLOR, BMW 320D M SPORT, NORTHERN IRELAND

Hi Craig,

Just to say thanks for your help when purchasing my BMW from you. The car is fantastic I love it, having flown from Belfast to view the car it can be somewhat apprehensive as viewing cars on web sites can lead to disappointment when you see the real thing, but as promised the car was in perfect condition and you were a pleasure to deal with. You were extremely helpful and genuine with an excellent knowledge who was very willing to help, having even collected us from the airport. I would thoroughly recommend Flemings and would certainly use them again, I cannot fault the service.

Yours Sincerely

Karl Taylor

MR DAN DAWSON, MERCEDES C320CDI SPORT, BRISTOL

From start to finish Craig at Flemings Specialist Cars has beenprofessional, helpful and informative at every stage of my recent purchase.Nothing seemed like too much trouble, he was available via phone and emailany time of the day and was on hand to provide all relevant info when Irequested it. Craig offered a fair and honest appraisal of my part ex carand was prepared to listen to what I wanted and we agreed on a sale fairlyquickly, he even offered to open up early to accommodate me picking up thenew car. An excellent all round service, highly recommended and would certainly use again.

SUZANNE WAKE-SMITH,KENT, VAUXHALL CORSA

Hi Craig,

My sincere apologies for the delay but it has been a mad year!!! As promised I wanted to send you a testimonial expressing what an absolute pleasure it was dealing with you and your Dad and to express my sincere thanks for restoring my faith in the second-hand motor trade!

I was selling my Audi A3 Quattro which you offered a fair price for unseen and took my word at face value which, let’s be honest, is a rare commodity these days. In return I asked you if you could source a replacement car for me thus alleviating the stress of me trying to find someone I could trust and show the same courtesy to as you had shown me and as such you came up trumps! What could have been a very stressful, nerve racking and difficult process for me in selling and buying a new vehicle turned out to be one that met my needs (at what had been an agonising decision to sell my car in the first place but needs must) and with your help I was able to get a car I have now grown to enjoy despite having had to move away from the quality and style I had been used to.

If anyone is reading this I would not hesitate in recommending Craig to either purchase or sell a car from/to knowing that his integrity is not compromised for his own gain and that he really does listen, evaluate your needs and deliver the goods.

I wish you and your family a very successful future and will be in touch when it’s time to change the car again!

Many many thanks again

Kind regards

Suzanne

MR MARK DAVIES, BMW 530D M SPORT, PORTHCAWL, WALES

Hi Craig,

Just wanted to say the car is fantastic.

Also feel I should give you some feedback on your service. From the first phone call I made with regards to the initial enquiry, to actually collecting the car, I couldn’t fault you. Attentive service, nothing too much trouble, good communication and the vehicle was as described. Once again, thanks a lot, people should give you a try, such a refreshing experience compared to that of most main dealers.

Mark Davies.

MR CHASE, BMW 320D M SPORT, POOLE, DORSET

Hi Craig

Just wanted to drop you a line expressing my thanks for your time and efforts in supplying me with what is, simply the best car I have ever owned. I thought you handled the whole process with professionalism honesty and a good deal of humour. The car is a real pleasure to drive, you can be sure that any friends of mine that are looking for a change of vehicle will be steered in your direction.
Once again thank you.

MR PETER BURRELL, MERCEDES SL500, WEST SUSSEX

Hi Craig

Thank you so much for your total dedication and professionalism regarding my purchase of the SL500. Not only was it a very rare example of the later 5.5 litre model but the ultra-low mileage and as new condition made it exactly what I wanted. Purchasing the car was made simple, in fact so simple that I have rarely parted with money so easily!! But best of all, because of my forward business commitments you very kindly offered to deliver the car to my home in West Sussex – a three hour journey that would normally have been a joy given good weather but it sadly coincided with the worst rain and floods of the year. So after a five hour journey you arrived, fresh faced and not showing any signs of the mental angst that you had undoubtedly suffered. But there was worse to come, as, because of the delay in arriving, you missed your return train connection that meant it was an even longer day by the time you got home.

So, to say that I’m a satisfied customer is an understatement and I hope to do further business with you in the future – but I’ll collect the car next time!!

Kind regards

Peter Burrell – West Sussex

MR MARK SWANSTON, BMW 530D M SPORT, HAMPSHIRE

I recently went on the hunt for a used BMW 530d sport which had been on my wish list for some time. I quickly realised that to get the right car at the right price you need someone who knows the market and can be trusted to deliver for you. I found Flemings Specialist Cars on line and am really glad I did. They found the perfect car, with the perfect options for me and I got a really good deal!. I would highly recommend Craig and Flemings Specialist cars to anyone. They are friendly, knowledgeable and do that “put me at ease” thing that is so important.

MR MARTIN GREEN, BMW M3 4.0 DCT, BATH

My initial visit to view the BMW M3 was very informal and I felt comfortable to wander around the showroom and inspect the vehicle unhindered and to focus on a detailed inspection; but if I needed any input or questions answered Craig was on hand with his very relaxed, polite manner (not the stereotypical car salesman). I also noted that if he didn’t have the answer he quietly slipped away to the office and made a phone call in an attempt to acquire the answer or the relevant document.

I was very interested in purchasing the M3 but had a couple of issues I wanted resolved and proceeded to discuss them with Craig; even though to resolve one of them (an exhaust issue) involved a fair amount of input from Craig including moving the car to another site (BMW dealership) to obtain their opinion and hopefully resolve it under BMW warranty, he politely agreed to pursue my request, which paid off as he won the day with BMW agreeing to change the relevant part free of charge. His calm and relaxed but positive character had achieved the desired result; he sold a car, I had the car I wanted and was happy the problem was resolved giving me peace of mind and best of all, all conducted in a civilised manner. Nearly a year later I am still very satisfied with my purchase.

Later that year I referred my son to Craig in an effort to locate a certain model car which sadly did not result in a sale but at least Craig tried even though it resulted in nothing for him and he was still his calm and polite self.

To summarise, even though Flemings are a relatively small family run business I would not hesitate to recommend them to supply a “run of the mill” family car or a specialist model with good personal service and back up.

Kind regards.

MR JONATHAN SKRINE, AUDI A4, LONDON

Hi Craig,

I just wanted to drop you a line to say what a very enojyable and hassle free service you provided when supplying me with my Audi A4. Given I was in London and you were in the west country viewing the car was going to be impossible, so I was able to get comfortable making a blind purchase by the fact that you provided me with all the info I needed to satisfy any queries I had. Nothing was too much trouble and it was so nice to see such dedication to a job in hand in these difficult times. I would very much recommend anyone wishing to buy a used car to look you up and would be very happy to talk to anyone who has any concerns.

Yours sincerely

Jonathan Skrine

MR GEORGE LYNHAM, VW PASSAT, WILTSHIRE

Hi Craig

I still have the VW Passat that I bought from you in 2010. It has now travelled a further 60,000 miles in addition to the 62,000 miles on the clock when I bought the car from you.
I love the car, it is economical and very reliable. I must say I was very impressed with Flemings Specialist Cars Ltd. The description of the car that I was given before I travelled to Bridgwater was accurate. The car was valeted and serviced, ready for collection as agreed. I found Craig to be very honest and straightforward and would have no hesitation in dealing with him again or recommending him to my friends.

Yours sincerely

George

MR TIM ALCOCK, SEAT LEON CUPRA R, BIRMINGHAM

MR IAN BUNYAN, AUDI A4, SOMERSET

Viewing cars on web sites can lead to disappointment when you see the real thing, but having made an appointment to view an Audi A4 Avant at Flemings, I have to say that the web site didn’t do it justice, as it, along with a vast array of quality vehicles, was beautifully presented, and exactly as described. Needless to say I bought the car, and I must say that I enjoyed the personal service that Craig gave, making one feel valued and important. Unfortunately, due to a family situation, I needed to sell the car within 12 months, and again Craig came to the rescue, selling it for me for a very good price. I have no hesitation in recommending Craig as a dealer you can trust, and when my family circumstances resolve, I will certainly go back to him for my next car.

MR BRIAN VINE-JONES, SAAB CABRIOLET, ABERDEEN

I am very pleased with the Saab 93 Aero Convertible you sold me recently. It was exactly what I wanted, in excellent condition, was the high specification vehicle I was looking for and my wife and I did appreciate the way you looked after us when we flew down from Aberdeen to view the Saab.

MR PAUL TURNER, AUDI A4, SOMERSET

Amongst the things I appreciated in procuring my latest car was Craigs fairly deep knowledge mixed with his passion for not only the cars he was selling but also for the general market. This was reflected in the conversations relating to the Audi Avant purchased and other cars on the market. For me, it was excellent to enjoy a non pressured discussion which was completely hassle free when it did eventually turn into a sale of my ML350 and the Purchase of the S line Avant, which I must add, I am extremely happy with.

MR EDDIE HULL, VAUXHALL ASTRA SPORTIVE VAN, CAMBRIDGE

Dear Craig

Having searched exhaustively all of the usual buying / selling outlets both online and physical, i was pleased to happen across your nicely well presented website.

This initial pleasure gave way to positive exuberance when I saw the vehicle that i was looking for in what appeared to be be wonderful unmolested condition. A swift telephone exchange filled me with enough confidence to afford a 100 pounds train fare from Cambridgeshire to Flemings HQ in Taunton. I was collected from the train station in some style by Craigs Father, a truly wonderful warm and welcoming gentleman.

Craig was as delightful to deal with in person as on the telephone, and a tour of the vehicle followed by a much welcomed cup of Tea ( with Cake too ! )

Some swift formalities dealt with suitably professionally and Craig ensured that i was familiar with all of the vehicles particulars – before setting off back to the land of the Sugar Beet in my new pride and joy.

Flemings cannot be praised high enough and trade to a standard that most franchised dealerships can only read about, and we will definately do business again.

For that i sincerely thank you all. My warmest regards to all.

MR SEAN SAUNDERS, SUBARU RB320, SOMERSET

I had been looking for a subaru RB320 and when i looked at the one on craigs website i was impressed with the car and what seemed like a profesional site,a call later and i wasn’t dissapointed as craig was helpful and very accomodating in organising a mutual time for me to view the car.
On meeting Craig you get the feeling of a genuine down to earth guy who you feel as if you have known for years. At every aspect of the deal Craig never put any pressure on me and was happy to work at my pace and organise a speedy and mutual hand over of the car.
Craig is obviously a keen car enthusiast and you can see that he only picks quality cars to sell and realises quality and service go hand in hand and translates in to customers coming back.
