Afternoon all.
Ive had a search round trying to get some feedback on Mole Valley garage just to get an idea what they are like to deal with.

Has anyone had any recent experiences with them, be they good or bad. There does not seem to be a concensus either way so far.

Thanks

I bought my TVR from them 3 years ago and Charles was a nice chap!

Gareth sold me the car and he now works at Racing Green so I would look at them. I have had experience with them too and they are absolutley top class for service!

Gareth isn't at Racing Green any longer (hasn't been for some time).

But he does do a good line in Aston Martins and Bentley.

I found Mole Valley very unhelpful and negative about buying any car unless your choice and budget matches their stock.

For example comments such as "don't buy one unless you're willing to spend £30k, step this way to see our cars at (guess what) £30k" mean that when my budget is £30k i won't buy one from them.

Just my experience.

Recently in looking for a Noble it seemed to depend on what type of day it was. However, their service dept. was very helpful.

Well it was nearly two years ago that I last spoke to him! A very good salesman. I wonder if he ever got that Dune Buggy project going?

I bought my first TVR from there and was a bit naive about the whole thing. Thankfully I was lucky and picked up a very good quality, good spec and low mileage car that I have had for over a year with only a couple of minor issues re the alarm. It had been well prep'd and they put in a CD changer because the salesman had told me (incorrectly) that the car already had one fitted.

I did get pressured into buying a personalised number plate (which does look good) and also a 2 year warranty. Not knowing much about TVRs and their undeserved reputation I thought it was a good idea to buy the warranty - what a waste of £1000 that was.

They were very helpful as the car alarm went off while I was out of the country shortly after I bought the car and the police were threatening to tow it away and Mole Valley collected the car, fixed the alarm, cleaned it and kept it in storage until I returned from holiday.

There service costs are quite pricey, but no different to any other dealership I guess.

I'd happily buy from them, provided they had the car that I wanted.

You should've pushed them a bit harder, I got another years warranty chucked in.
