5 star service from beginning to end…
5 star service from beginning to end and was actually suprised how more professional and friendly there were compared to a main dealer.
The knowledge and speed they dealt with buying and selling me a car was really impressive.
Purchasing a high end car you would expect the above but this was on another level.
Great team and special thanks to Joe for looking after me.
What a refreshing experience
What a refreshing experience. Having just purchased a vehicle from Acklam cars in a part exchange deal, I couldn't be happier with the whole experience. From start to completion Joe adopted a honest and transparent approach which was most welcome and which ultimately led to a successful and satisfying transaction. Acklam vehicles are presented beautifully which underpins their dedication and passion in all that they do. Bravo Acklam Cars!
Excellent
Open, honest, trustworthy and look to make sure everything goes smoothly. Liam and the team were first class at all stages of my purchase, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

First class customer service throughout.
Excellent company.
