Very Professional people who know thier business well
Amazing service from start to finish. I was purchasing in my eyes a very expensive car and Sean made him self available for a personal viewing of the car on a sunday. The whole process of buying the car was made very simple and pain free experience. Everything they said the would do they did on time and communicated to me regulary with updates.

Absolutely fantastic service.
Absolutely fantastic service from Sean, very impressed. He kept me informed throughout the process of buying a car and was polite and considered which was very reassuring as I was very apprehensive. Have a lovely car as a result and would highly recommend this company, in fact, I have already done!

Jane Norton

The perfect car for my daughter.
When I asked Sean to find me a vehicle for my daughter he not only found the right vehicle but really showed care and attention to explaining everything clearly to us during the whole process. My daughter is delighted with the car and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending South West Automotives to anyone looking for a car for themselves or their loved ones. Thanks Sean, top bloke :)

Robert Brown

Excellent service car was as advertised.
As internet buying was new to me and i'm based in South Wales I asked Sean to do a video around walk round This was sent to me a couple of hours later showing all the good points and also not so good, the vehicle was delivered on the back of a trailer on the day we agreed, Sean also walked around the vehicle with myself so that i could check it over then gave me the keys so that i could look around myself and that i was happy with the vehicle. before we got down to the paper work. Also the car was cleaned of once it was taken of the trailer and looked superb.
