My experience at SLM Vauxhall Hastings was cracking because very professional..listened n answered questions...polite was always told n explained next procedure..went over n above board especially with finance people because I didnt have photo ID only paper driving license...even visited house to collect documents ..(chris topliss) handover straight forward asked if it could be within a week because of school times all completed well in time WELL DONE CHRIS TOPLISS .

SLM Nissan Hastings were really helpful and I'd definitely recommend them! David was very friendly and professional and there to answer any questions I had. Also quick turn around in me picking up my car which I was very grateful of. Fair price of the vehicle also, excellent condition.
-
SLM Suzuki Tunbridge Wells were really helpful and I'd recommend them because , I wasn’t sure what car I wanted , I was asked what I wanted in a car then produced four for me to choose from . I could test drive them all . Fantastic, friendly , helpful. I had a little fault on the car & they took straight back in couldn’t have been more helpful , not only that they cleaned it for me . Wish more garages had your customer service .

Jack H from SLM was very helpful throughout the whole experience of purchasing my new car. Can not fault his communication, he was always there to answer any questions I had and was very reassuring about anything I had concerns about. There was a minor fault with the car which wasn't realised till after purchase but they had me straight away to rectify the problem. Overall top quality customer service from both Jack and SLM.

I'd recommend SLM Toyota Attleborough to a friend because the friendly, helpful staff take care to address the customers questions and concerns. Backed by the excellent reliability of Toyota. One improvement would be clearer information from Toyota. For example, the new plug-in Prius wasn't coming to the UK, then it was. The new Corolla Cross was coming now it appears it is'nt. Customers looking ahead trying to make their purchasing plans would benefit from more clarity.
