04 June 2025
I do think the level of service has gone down slightly since the recent change of ownership. I do not think it appropriate to arrange a service with a centralised call center for example.
04 June 2025
Regular updates and information. Good information at handover, patient with my lack of technical knowledge. Spent time to explain things and didn't feel at all rushed.
03 June 2025
Matt Clear kept me informed at every stage of the viewing, ordering and build stages - he was always 100% honest. In summary,Matt was someone that I could trust and help make the whole process simple and stress-free.

My having a US license was known from the beginning. Addressing the issues this presented could have been dealt with in the 2 months we waited for the car to be delivered instead of at the end, which caused further delays.

Disappointed in level of service. Car was in at 08:00 for MOT. I saw it being parked outside the showroom at 09:05 yet at 09:35 I had to ask if I could pay and leave as the reason I booked a waiting appointment was because I didn't have much time.

Courteous people and efficient

Car failed its MOT because it needed a new tyre which BMW couldn't provide. The person at Stratstone called another tyre company and arranged for me to take the car there the same afternoon so the car could then be retested the same day.
