Totally Trustworthy

This is the second car I have bought from Podium cars and cannot stress too highly the excellent service I got from Kevin, the proprietor. He always goes the full ten yards in ensuring everything is perfect with the vehicles he sells, from checking service history to valeting, and is happy to spend time explaining the vehicles' features. There is no pressure selling involved here, just an experienced professional advising clients on the various features of his stock. Totally trustworthy, and a truly nice guy.

Excellent dealer

I have recently bought a VW Polo from Kevin at Podium Cars on behalf of my son. I travelled far further than I normally would (70 miles) to view a used car, having been ‘bitten’ so many times in the past. This was because of the way the advert read, and also because of the way Kevin came across in our subsequent phone call, ie honest and straightforward. On arrival, the car was extremely well presented, was as described, and Kevin was extremely personable and helpful. There were no hard sell tactics and I was allowed to look over the car at my leisure, as well as ask countless questions. Having bought the car (how could I not?), I drove it the 70 miles home and it performed faultlessly. It’s a cracking little car. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kevin at Podium Cars and, even given the distance involved, will certainly contact him when I’m next in the market for a used car. He made the whole process, including completing the paperwork, a pleasure (and I have bought many cars over the last 41 years of motoring). Thank you Kevin- you help to give the car trade a good name!

Kia Rio

Via Autotrader, I recently found a Kia at Podium Cars and Podium's Kevin arranged a test drive. A couple of small faults were quickly remedied by Kevin's technician team enabling me to buy the car without hesitation. My low mileage, 1 owner immaculate car is now with me and I am very pleased with it. Great customer service from Kevin who I highly recommend.

I usually wait a few weeks before reviewing pretty much anything, but I felt compelled that Kevin at Podium Cars deserved the review a bit sooner than that, outstanding service from Kevin, any issues or questions & he won't hesitate to answer your queries, the car I've bought from him is immaculate & he had a keen eye including it in his stock list, I'm a very happy customer 5 stars & more if they could be given Thanks Kevin.

Fantastic Service

The business owner was incredibly friendly and helpful and the range of cars available was great and all looked in amazing condition so he clearly takes time to make sure everything is to the best standard possible. He explained everything about the car regarding the features it had and how to tweak anything. He also helped with getting our tax sorted so we were able to drive away with the car within an hour. All in all a great service.

Excellent all round Experience

I was looking for a small used car ideally in my local area. I found a VW UP at Podium Cars in Cattawade. I met the owner Kevin whom I found both friendly,helpful an knowledgeable about the vehicle. After a test drive Kevin assisted me with my finance requirements which went smoothly. A full service MOT/advisories and more were taken care of,nothing was too much trouble. Upon collection the car was cleaned and in immaculate condition.Kevin took me through the basics ensuring I could drive away with confidence. Kevin cares both about the cars he is selling and the customers buying them. I'm extremely happy with my car. Excellent service. Excellent experience

Podium Cars - Kia Sportage Purchase

Purchased our Kia Sportage from Podium Cars. A fantastic experience. Very helpful, courteous and a great service that ensured the process went smoothly. The vehicle itself was a great example of its type and had clearly been well looked after / maintained whilst at Podium. We look forward to a good number of years of a great driving experience thanks to Podium Cars.

First Class Service, Very Highly Recommended

My daughter was looking for a new car and found a Toyota Yaris advertised by Podium Cars. They were very helpful and showed her all the cars history and documentation that came with the car and answered any questions she had about it. They were a delight to deal with, took away the worry and uncertainty of buying a used car and once she was perfectly happy with the car made the whole buying process as easy as possible. The service is First Class, the Cars are top notch and the prices are spot on. I know my daughter will have many happy years motoring with her new car and can Highly Recommend Podium Cars.

Fantastic service

Just bought my BMW from Podium cars via click and collect. I wasn't sure about buying a car without first seeing it but Kevin guided me through the process assuring me of the cars condition and quality of preparation. The car was better than described when i collected and the whole deal was done efficiently and contactless. Very impressed. Would definitely recommend.

No hesitation recommending Podium Cars to others!

In difficult (COVID-19) times, dealing with Podium Cars was an absolute pleasure. I identified and committed to my vehicle outside of lockdown and following lockdown every step of the way in having the car serviced and prepared for collections was managed professionally, within the spirit of COVID rules and responsibly. So, in exceptional times my client experience from Podium Cars was, itself, exceptional. Everything was made simple for me and upon collection the car was spotless, fully serviced and ready to go. I received a very personal, hands on and appropriate service from a personable proprietor who clearly knows his trade and takes pride in ensuring that his clients receive a great service - one which is likely to retain customer loyalty well into the future. No hesitation in recommending Podium Cars to others based on the quality of the vehicle I purchased and high the service levels I experienced.

A top class and personal experience.

The owner, could not have been more helpful. We were so impressed with the high standard and spec of his cars that we bought two. This was not our first intention but after viewing all his range it just made sense. A full service and MOT was given to both vehicles. Very impressed with the personal touch given by the owner.

5* review for Podium Cars (Ford S-Max) - All good!

Bought a Ford S-Max from Podium cars yesterday - they couldn't have been more helpful - patient while I took my time to check the car over, went for a good test drive. There were a couple of very minor issues which they had no trouble addressing, and communication over email, phone and text was easy. Hope I don't have to use the warranty provided!

Highly recommended

From the outset nothing was too much trouble for Kevin. He was very open and honest about the car I was interested in buying. The handover audit was explained in full and the car was immaculate with one minor issue corrected without question. I would highly recommend Podium cars who are totally customer focused without the usual main dealer sales talk, very refreshing thanks.
