VW UP! GTI

I bought my Up! GTI from S J Approved used cars, Reece was very helpful, I called before going and he had car out ready when I got there, I wanted a quick purchase and so everything was done the same day including the part exchange of my previous car. I was very impressed with both Reece and Spencer for their honesty and general good customer service. I would definitely recommend to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Thank you Reece and Spencer.

Abarth

Such a lovely experience. Spencer and Reece were extremely helpful and even sent me a video of the car I was looking at. They were not pushy salesmen and I was driving away in my new car in less than a week. We should all support small businesses more. Thanks guys.

HI there
Thank you Simon. You were polite and professional in your approach to buying my car. I used Carwow but wish I had just come straight to you now. Thank you very much

Hello,
In the process of selling my car through The Motorway, Simon demonstrated exceptional assistance. He consistently upheld a high standard of politeness and professionalism that made dealing with him a pleasure. Simon dedicated time to explain each step, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding. Despite my initial concerns about potential significant price reductions, those worries proved unnecessary!

The entire experience with Simon and SJ Cars unfolded smoothly and straightforwardly.

Thanks again, Simon!

BMW M4

From start to finish these guys were a pleasure to deal with! I was in Mexico at the time when we first communicated about the car.... sorted me a deal throughout the following days with also taking my car as trade in. Hopefully deal with them again in the future

BMW 2 series

Bought a BMW from S J Approved Used Cars in December 2023, would recommend this company to anyone looking to purchase a new vehicle.

Reece and colleagues were extremely helpful, as living 2 and half hours away, we managed to organise everything within a few days.

Cannot fault the service we received, everyone at S J were so welcoming and we are really pleased with the service that was provided.

The car was in great condition and I knew straight away it was the one for me.

Well worth the trip and would recommend to anyone.

Jaguar XF

Bought our Jaguar xf R=Sport from Reece. Reece explained and answered every question we had. The car was clean and ready on time. Unfortunately we found a fault after running the car for a few days. Took it back to SJ cars. The fault was diagnosed, booked in and sorted very quickly. We could not have expected anything better. We will certainly be back for future purchases as great service like we had is hard to find nowadays. I would recommend Reece and his team at SJ Cars to anyone who wants a decent dealer to buy from.

I’d just like to start this review by saying if you’ve seen a car at this garage then don’t delay you can buy with confidence from here.
I recently bought a lovely Mercedes from here and the moment I arrived I found the atmosphere to be both relaxed and unpressured. After looking around the bodywork of the car I went in to the office and was greeted by Spencer and Reece, I was then handed the keys and was left alone and in peace to have a good look at the car. I then returned to the office and was asked if I’d like to test drive it, I was then handed a trade plate and was able to take it on a good run unaccompanied so I got a good feel for the car. When I arrived back I had a good chat with Spencer and Reece, they were both very knowledgeable and came across as very friendly and genuine. I decided to buy the car there and then and the process was very straightforward and uncomplicated Spencer took care of everything. Spencer even offered to buy the car back from me when I was ready to upgrade again, that says to me he has every confidence in the cars he sells. A few days into ownership a niggley fault occurred on the car, but this is where these guys really shined through. Spencer was very helpful and had the fault fixed immediately, The after sales care was second to none and is a massive positive when buying a car, this is why I said at the beginning of this review you can buy with confidence from Spencer and Reece.
Overall a great experience and a great car
I’d like to thank you both and I’ll definitely be back when it’s time to trade in and upgrade.

Clio rs trophy

This should be the standard evey car dealership should look towards! I've never had a better experience on buying a car without all the hassle that others do! Reece at SJ Approved was brilliant all round! Never pressured me into anything with any stupid add ons, sorted the finance package out very quickly and let me pick up in my own time due to me being in Edinburgh. Definitely worth the 4 hour trip down and 5 hour drive back for my car! Would highly recommend! Thanks again guys!

Scirocco

bought my Scirocco from SJ Approved Used Cars in September 2023, and I couldn't have been happier with the service they provided!

Reece and co were very knowledgeable, professional and friendly.
It was love at first sight when I first viewed my car. It was IMMACULATE, and obviously had been very well looked after- I knew instantly I'd found the one!

The whole process was smooth and they offered me a decent price to part-exchange my old car. Well worth the 4 hour round trip!

Would definitely recommend these guys to anyone!

Buying a new/used car can be a very daunting task. Thankfully I had the pleasure of dealing with both Reece and Spencer during my visit to SJ Cars. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. From the moment I walked in, I was treated with respect and professionalism. The guys were patient and took the time to answer all my questions, ensuring I had a clear understanding of the process. Their transparency and honesty were greatly appreciated. SJ Cars truly values its customers, and I couldn't be happier with my new car! Thank you for the 5-star service!

“I spoke to Spencer over the phone and asked about the car. He explained all the questions iasked him ,we arrange to view the car couple of days later. On arrival he had the car outside and dident come out or preser us.after looking over the car we went inside and spoke to Spencer he was polite and answered all our questions we decided to perches the car. And explained i mayhave issues collecting the car. He explained for a small fee he could deliver the car, this was a great help he deliverd the car on time ,and when he said, the two lads who brought the car up wer curtes and polite and took time to show us round the car and explained things to us.all in all the experience was first class and i would bye another car from them if need be ”

Very welcoming and happy to help, purchased a car from here approx 2 weeks a go and could not be happier with it.

Whilst making the purchase any questions I had they made sure to get me the right information and ensured to get me on the road properly on the day of purchase.

Would 100% recommend popping down and having a look/ speaking to them

Fiesta ST3

I recently bought a Fiesta ST from Reece at S J cars. The experience from start to finish was smooth and effortless. Reece gave me an accurate and detailed description of the car, as I was travelling from over two hours away. (That well and truly lived up to expectations upon my arrival). Reece was always on hand to support with any queries I had making it a joyous buying experience that didn’t feel salesy at any point. I have had my car just over a week and I am really enjoying it. I would have no reservations buying from S J cars and would definitely be back in contact should I want to buy another vehicle. Thanks again lads for all the help.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting and doing business with spencer and Reece I can honestly say from my first call to see if a certain vehicle was still available to driving away in it I cannot fault the service I received there was no pressure and I was very comfortable with all the help and advice I was given I will definitely recommend and will not hesitate to do business again with SJ Approved cars

BMW M4 Competition

Purchased an M4 Competition from SJ Approved Used Cars and it was one of the smoothest experiences I've had with a used car garage. Spencer had all the patience in the world with me and Reece was great, not pushy at all. Spencer gave me a great price for a part exchange and the whole timeline was suited around my needs. Massive props to these two guys, great all round people and I will definitely be looking at using these again in the future. Thanks both!

Ordered a car during a move from Cyprus. The guys agreed to hold the car longer than usual due to my unique situation. Quick and painless process throughout!

The guys at SJ Cars were absolutely fantastic throughout the buying process. At no point did I feel pressured into buying the car, they were extremely helpful and let me look around the car and all the paperwork at my own leisure.

I’ll definitely be recommending them to friends and wouldn’t hesitate in buying another car from them.

Thanks guys and keep up the awesome work!

Audi TT

Dealt with Reece who was a pleasure to deal with ….open and upfront with me about the convertible Audi TT we’d gone to see and we managed to drive it away within an hour.
The car hasn’t missed a beat as yet and we’re very happy with it…..he even offered to buy it back from us after the summer If we wished to sell it.
Would definitely recommend and will take a look at what cars they have in stock when I’m ready for a new motor

Abarth

great garage.... I recently bought an Abarth from there and absolutely love her.

The staff were very nice, easy to chat to and excellent customer service. They were also very patient when I had to phone my bank to pay for the car (the payment was blocked initially because of the amount and they were happy to let me chill in the office and sort it out).

No typical sales pitches either, they were easy to talk to and very helpful, no pushiness.

Hopefully I won't need to buy another car for a very long time but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to SJ.

Spencer and Reece are passionate about what they do and it shows in the customer service they provide. Reece is a pure gentleman. From the moment I picked up the phone to collecting the car, the whole buying process was made very easy and I never felt hassled or under any sort of pressure. I would highly recommend SJ Autos if you're thinking of buying a car. Also, I would like to wish the Company all the best in moving to their new premises shortly and have no doubt they will go onwards and upwards from here.

BMW 6 series

Proper, honest cars, proper, honest people.
It’s immediately obvious on speaking to the people that work here that they love cars, that’s a great start as they have lots of experience about allsorts of cars and are happy to share it.
It’s a small team and that makes the whole experience far more personal and friendly.
I definitely got the impression that they want to get you into the right car for you not just whatever they can sell you.
Friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable and not pushy in the slightest, I’d happily buy from here again and recommend them to anyone.
Car buying can be an awful experience and that makes going somewhere to look at a car very daunting for many, not here, it honestly was a pleasure, from part exchange price (that was very fair) to purchase, an absolute breeze, thanks guys, I couldn’t be happier.

Mini

called to view a mini clubman salesman was not at all pushy, nice and laid back actually ,went for short test drive and on our return left us to check car over and answered any questions we had. we left a small deposit to secure the car , the car was valeted and we picked it up a few days later that was convenient for us. again the salesman was very helpful and told us all about the FREE 6 months warranty, which gave us piece of mind. all in all a very pleasant experience which l would recommend SJ approved cars to anyone.

Vw scirocco

I'd held off reviewing SJ because I think any dealer can sell a car... what I want to review on is is the car in good condition for the money, are there any issues with it and if there are issues then how does the dealer respond to that.

I bought a used VW Scirocco from Spencer at SJ about a month ago. Can't fault the sales process - he gave me the keys, I took it for an unaccompanied test driver, everything good and I paid in full and drove off about half an hour or so later.
For the first two weeks everything was fine, the car nice and smooth and, apart from an ever so slightly dodgy drivers' window switch it drove excellently. I couldn't have been happier.

Unfortunately though, after ending up in a massive traffic jam for about 45 minutes, crawling through start stop traffic for about three miles I realised the clutch wasn't coming back off the floor very much. I managed to get the car in neutral, get my foot under the clutch pedal and pull it back up, at which point I had no further issues on my journey. Once I got to my destination I pulled out good old Dr. Google which suggested that leaking slave cylinders in Sciroccos were a common occurrence and which led to this exact problem. I don't believe SJ would have known of this issue unless they'd done that kind of stop/start journey that I had.

As the car came with a 6 month warranty I called the warranty company the day after, who helpfully told me what I'd need to do to get it sorted. Unfortunately after ringing around a few local garages nearby I was struggling to find someone to do the work. I'd only had the car two weeks so I got back in touch with Spencer to seek his assistance. His response couldn't have been better - "Sorry that's happened. Here's the number of a garage locally, give them a call, get it booked in, tell them I sent you and I'll settle the bill". Can't say fairer than that.

(Michael at LUXE Motor Company, Burbage) was far better - he came, diagnosed the faulty slave cylinder and came back a few days later to fix the car... and Spencer / SJ Cars covered the bill.

That's what I look for in a used car dealer - proper customer service. Happy to recommend, and I'd go there again if I was ever in the market for another used car.

Citroen DS3

Our daughter has been saving for her first car so her purchase was considered and significant. After a couple of other "used car dealer" experiences, she hadn't enjoyed those at all, totally put off.

From the outset, she had been able to see the video online of the vehicle which gave her confidence and we went to visit. We weren't harassed, took the car for a test drive on our own which was good as she didn't feel under pressure and could talk openly with me.

There was no pressure applied at all the the entire process was hugely relaxed. Reece and Spencer are a credit to the used car sales industry - thanks both.

SJ motors went above and beyond to make us comfortable in purchasing our beautiful car.
We sent a mobile mechanic to inspect before travelling , SJ motors were VERY happy to oblige.
Inspection returned as new condition.
I was sent a number of walk round videos and photos infact I was quite a pest but was always met with great customer service .
Thanks again

S1

w) and so I was proceeding very cautiously. I’d narrowed my search to Audi S1s and decided to test-drive several nearly new ones that I’d seen advertised on Autotrader. When I arrived at SJ Approved Used Cars I didn’t expect to choose the one I was about to see, as I had a preferred option lined up to test drive elsewhere the next day. However, on the test drive this particular Audi S1 felt extremely comfortable both to be in and to drive; test driving my preferred option the next day was disappointing in comparison so I chose the S1 that SJ Approved Cars were offering. Reece was very helpful during the purchasing process, the Audi was immaculate on collection and Spencer was helpful in the weeks after collection when the paperwork didn’t go through government departments as quickly as it might. The ultimate test came several months later when the Audi S1 became due for its first service and MOT: I took it to my local garage who had kept my previous car in such good condition for many years and the Audi S1 passed its MOT and got through its service with flying colours. The verdict of my local garage was that I’d “made a good choice.” That was in July this year and I’m still thrilled now. Thank you, Spencer and Reece, for your help and reliability.

Audi A1

The best place to buy a car!
I came across SJ Approved used cars when looking on AutoTrader for a used Audi A1. I had been looking for quite a while (being very fussy with what I was looking for) and when I saw this car come up I loved it. I enquired about the car and got a response almost instantly. The garage told me that the car was having a few bits of work done, and told me that they would let me know as soon as it was ready to be viewed. After a few emails of me pestering them to let me know when it was ready, they assured me I would be the first to know and to view the car.

When they came back to me, they explained all of the work they had carried out, assured me that they will not sell a car that they aren't perfectly happy with (until they are); hence why it had taken a little while to sort.

We arranged a date for me to view the car, but last minute I was unable to view it due to living quite far away and unable to get to them. Even with others interested in the car, they held their word and spoke to me before selling it to anyone else. I ended up paying a deposit and they held it for me for a few days until I could collect it.

The condition of the car was absolutely amazing. So clean and thoroughly looked after. I was absolutely thrilled. It also drives so beautifully.

When on the way home we realised the buttons on the steering wheel weren't working properly. We called them up, and they straight away agreed to pay for the work that needed to be done to rectify it.

Reece and Spencer are so friendly and helpful. I was so comfortable purchasing from them, and so confident it was the best place I could possibly be buying a car. They knew it was a. huge purchase for me and weren't pushy at all.

I am so happy I found this car through SJ approved, and will 100% be returning to them when looking for my next car in the future. I so strongly recommend purchasing through them. They are fantastic and their service is phenomenal. They know what they are talking about, and they genuinely want their customers to be happy. Will be recommending to everyone I know looking for a car..!

Thank you so much guys, I love love love it :)

Mercedes E class

I advertised my car on Autotrader and had a call from Rhys the next day. After a quick chat Rhys made an acceptable offer on the car and paid me a holding deposit within the hour. The rest of the transaction went very smoothly and he had the car collected a week later. The balance and the finance settlement was paid before the car was taken away.
I work in the motor trade so I feel qualified to say that this was a very good experience to deal with SJ Approved cars. They did exactly what they said they would and were excellent to deal with. Highly recommended.

VW Scirocco

I bought a VW Scirocco from SJ and both Reece and Spencer were very pleasant and professional. No pushy sales. When i experienced a slight problem in the first week, Spencer had the car collected and repaired with no questions or issues which was very much appreciated and highlighted to me how he wants to keep his customers happy even after the sale. Since then i have had no issues and have been pleased with my purchase.

Excellent service
Excellent friendly service and was able to facilitate a same day sale, which was important as I was travelling from a distance. Test drive was a lot longer than other dealerships I’ve been to which really allowed me to get a good feel for the car. Buying process was simple and the included warranty is definitely a bonus

We was concerned about purchasing a car from a garage after previously having a bad experience BUT we tried SJ Approved Cars and Reece looked after us. There was no pressure by Reece or Spencer, they left us to have a look. The car was for my daughter to take to university and I feel satisfied that these guys are trustworthy. The car was immaculate on arrival and we are really pleased with our purchase. My daughter was worried about the colour of the car but because everything else including the customer service was amazing then the colour wasn’t an issue anymore. She loves it!!!!! Thanks guys : -)

From the initial phone call to driving away the customer service was superb.
We dealt with Reece who went out of his way to help us,
We were travelling quiet a long way, so he happily sent us detailed close up videos of the bmw we were interested in .

Really impressed from start to finish,

Sold car to dealer via motorway, even though motorway listed items that where not on the car (phoned and emailed but they still did not correct listing) dealer was understanding and collected within the week and paid the same day, All in all great experience.

SELLING MY CAR

You want to Sell your Second Hand Car, start here
I originally looked to use an online second hand website I had used successfully in the past. Unfortunately they only wanted to rip me off. The quote from SJ was much more reflective of the appropriate value. I was most happy with the representatives who were fair in their assessment. What more would you want? Will definitely use again.

Restored my faith in used car dealers
I recently purchased a car from SJ Approved Used Cars and it is safe to say that they have restored my faith in used car dealerships. I can't prsise them highly enough. Incredibly helpful, no pressure and it is very clear that they have no intention of flogging anything that is likely to cause the customers any problems. Reece was an absolute gent and I would strongly recommend anyone who is looking for a used car to pay them a visit. I will definitely be back when it is time to change this car!

Vauxhall Astra

Vauxhall Tigra - Excellent customer service
Absolutely lovely guys that work there!! They give you space to get a good look at the car first and then come up to you if you look like you have a question. You don't feel the pressure of a salesperson trying to get a purchase out of you, like at other dealerships. My car looked in great condition for the price bar a few scuffs on the wheels and back bumper. They did all the proper checks and service - even put a decent amount of fuel in the tank. Took great care when I said this was my 1st time buying a car and they had the patience to explain things thoroughly to me. Couldn't recommend them enough!!Svetlana

Citroen Berlingo Multispace

I recently bought a beautiful blue Citroen Berlingo Multispace from SJ Approved Used Cars for run-around/ micro-camper purposes. Reece and Spencer were very responsive to my many initial enquiries, and even provided me with a year's comprehensive warranty for my assurance – the A/C condenser had packed up a few months after buying the van and it was all covered under the cost of the provided warranty. Everything else works beautifully and I was very pleased with the buy. Thank you so much!

Vauxhall Astra

Literally the best customer service you can imagine.
Excellent service, I can't recommend SJ Approved Used Cars enough.

Not pushy at all, you can have some time to think about your purchase without any pressure. Very helpful, answering all the questions without any hassle. Customer Service at extremely high levels, going above and beyond to make your experience efficient and effortless. You can also use modern methods of communication, which is very convenient if you work in a busy environment - you can just drop a message on WhatsApp and get a message or voice record message back in no time. I was extremely pleased with that as it fitted my lifestyle perfectly at the time.

All the paperwork was sorted online without any issues, transaction went smoothly and I was taken care of really well at every stage of my purchase.

No problems with car delivery either, came on time as promised and the delivery gentleman was also pleasant to deal with.

Keep up the good work lads and never allow your excellent customer service to degrade!

Ford KA

Absolutely fantastic service! Simon took us for a test drive, was in no way pressurising and told us what to look out for in other cars we might go on to look at. Made the decision to purchase a Ford KA and the staff were just as enthusiastic as me. Ensured I was clear on every aspect of the purchase, not at all patronising (despite this being my first car). Love my car and am very appreciative of the service I recieve!

Jaguar XF

Had my Jaguar XF for a month now, no problems at all. Professional trustworthy car sales(unusual these days). Presented in fine condition, with a full MOT at their expense and a quarter of a tank of fuel. Reasonable price for my part exchange and a friendly relaxed experience. Reputation is everything and i can heartily recommend this village garage if you are nervous at all about the sharks out there, i will certainly check out their stock when i'm next in the market for a car.

I would 100% recommend buying a car from here. After being burned before with buying a vehicle from a garage, I was very skeptical when buying another car, but Spencer made the process smooth and easy, and he is very reliable and trustworthy. I am very happy with the service I received from the viewing down to the purchasing of the car, and I am also very happy with my vehicle. Thank you for such a pleasant car buying experience!

Would highly recommend buying a car from here. We had minor things needed looking at and without hesitation Spencer collected the car and got everything fixed and kept me up to date with everything and dropped the car back.

Fiat 500

I purchased my little pink fiat 500 from this dealer just before xmas, my Xmas treat to myself. Couldn't fault the service received, not pushy at all just let me decide in my own time and answered any questions. Only little niggle I had was that the rear window wiper hadn't been replaced and was flapping about on the wet journey home but a quick phone call to Spencer sorted it out. I went out and got it replaced straight away and Spencer put the money back in to my account the next day so all good.

Very professional very happy to recommend SJ

A positive reassuring experience. There was no pressure selling and SJ went out of his way and beyond to make sure all my questions and concerns were answered to my satisfaction. All areas were covered and any concerns were dealt with in a calm and satisfactory manner making sure I understood all the necessary procedure, such as Tax, Insurance etc would be easily undertaken on the morning of collecting my vehicle. The exchange went perfectly just as I was informed all the way through the procedure, so I felt happy and positive that I had made the right choice in choosing SJ as I drove away in my new purchase.
