100% Would Recommend Us – What That Really Means (and Why It Matters)

Sometimes, timing really is everything.

As we head into February, we’ve received news that genuinely stopped us in our tracks:

100% of our customers said they would recommend us.

That result comes from independent JudgeService surveys completed between 1 January 2025 and 31 December 2025, and we couldn’t think of a better moment to pause, reflect, and say thank you.

Why customer recommendations matter when buying a used car

Buying a used car isn’t just a transaction. For most people, it’s one of the biggest purchases they’ll make, and it has to fit real life — work, family, budgets, reliability, and peace of mind.

There’s also no shortage of choice. Big dealers, online platforms, private sales… it can be overwhelming.

That’s why recommendations matter.

When someone says they’d recommend us, they’re not just talking about the car they drove away in. They’re talking about:

  • Feeling listened to

  • Being treated fairly

  • Getting honest advice

  • Knowing they can pick up the phone if they need us

Those things don’t show up on a spec sheet — but they matter just as much.

Independent JudgeService feedback you can trust

This result isn’t something we’ve written ourselves or pulled from one good week.

It’s based on independent JudgeService feedback, collected throughout the whole of 2025, and backed by our RAC partnership.

That independence is important. It means:

  • No cherry-picking

  • No editing

  • No pressure on customers

Just real people, giving honest feedback after buying a car from us.

What our customers say they value most

Every review is different, but there are themes we see again and again:

Straight-talking advice
We’ll always tell you what we’d do if it were our own money. Sometimes that means recommending a car, sometimes it means saying a particular one isn’t right.

No pressure
We don’t believe anyone should feel rushed into buying a car. Take your time, ask questions, go away and think about it — we’re fine with that.

Care after the sale
Buying the car isn’t the end of the relationship. We’re here afterwards too, and customers notice that.

A proper independent experience
As a small, family-run business, reputation is everything. We rely on word of mouth, repeat customers, and people coming back years later — and that shapes how we work every day.

A genuine thank you - A family-run used car dealer in Ipswich

February is often a quieter month in the motor trade, but this result has given us a real lift.

To everyone who took the time to leave a review, recommend us to friends or family, or come back to us for another car — thank you. It genuinely means more than you might realise.

And if you’re reading this because you’re thinking about changing your car, we hope this gives you confidence that you’ll be looked after properly.

Looking ahead - Thinking about changing your car?

We’re heading into the rest of the year doing exactly what got us here:

  • Buying good-quality cars

  • Preparing them properly

  • Being honest, approachable, and fair

If that sounds like the sort of experience you’re looking for, we’d love to help.

Here’s to more happy customers, more recommendations, and another year of doing things the right way.
