Nissan X-Trail

I had been searching for a good example of a particular car (Nissan X-Trail) for a few months when I came upon what appeared to be the perfect example on Autotrader at Selective Autos, I called Idriss and simply asked if it really is as good as described as I had close to a 100 mile journey to come and view it. Idriss assured me it certainly was & on that basis I travelled down the following day but struggled with old fashioned maps as my new phone wasn't set up correctly & Google maps didn't work; Idriss having waited at least 2 hrs beyond the allotted appointment time immediately offered to get my phone working correctly - which he did. Saw the car, drove it and was in no doubt that it was the car I had been seeking so bought it there and then.
As many others have commented, Idriss' customer service skills really are second to none & because he only offers first class vehicles at the right price (think the clue is in the name), Selective Autos are in the premier league when it comes to buying a great car IMO. I will certainly be back for my next one without qualms or concerns.

Where can I start, other bigger companies could do with a lesson from Idriss. Top class customer service from start to finish, no hassle and left to look around the car at our own pace and great communication from the first viewing of the car to collection. I am absolutely over the moon with my GLA. I can't recommend Idriss and Selective Auto's enough and I hope when the time is right to be able to purchase another car. Once again many thanks, Leanne & Dave

I travelled over 100 miles to view the VW amarok. It was actually better than I thought.
Idriss was so helpful - nothing was too much trouble.
Drove it home the same day.
Would highly recommend and if I require another vehicle in the future I shall be enquiring here first.

I bought a Jaguar XE from Idriss and the service was fantastic. A month later I drove it to the South of France where it incurred an unforeseeable problem that prevented me from driving it home. I spoke with Idriss who advised me to get it fixed while in France. I had it fixed and Idriss reimbursed me on the day I paid the bill. It was not an insignificant amount of money either. Absolutely first class service from someone who was genuinely apologetic and disappointed that I had an issue. I would highly recommend Selective Autos Ltd.

I recently bought a Mercedes SLK from Idriss who was most helpful & even when he was on holiday he did the transfer of ownership for us . Liam was great too while Idriss was away & delivered the car for us . We're more than happy with the car & with the service provided by Idriss & Liam . Thanks guys .

I recently purchased a Jaguar XE from Idriss, I am in the motor trade and therefore very fussy but I have to say that despite being four years old the car was in excellent condition. I did spot a couple of car park dents and Idriss had these addressed immediately using paintless dent removal techniques. The service was friendly, efficient and flexible and I would highly recommend Selective Autos. Thank you Idriss.

Recently purchased a Passat estate from Idriss, in my search for car I looked around for some time before deciding to purchase the car, I could have brought one cheaper elsewhere, what made a difference for me was the customer feedback. With in an hour of so of buying the car, it was evident there was an electrical issue. The communications with Idriss was excellent, the car was sorted out under the warranty, Idriss was focused on customer satisfaction, he ensured the car was repaired to a high standard with no issues. I would buy another car of Idriss tomorrow, I would highly recommend Selective Auto's to anyone who is looking for a car. Excellent customer service, excellent communications and top quality vehicles.

I picked up my new car from Selective Autos at the weekend and I honestly couldn't be happier with the service from start to finish.

I'm up in Scotland so couldn't just pop in to view the car, They sent me a comprehensive video of the car along with its full service history and were always very helpful.

The car was spotless inside and out, and drives like a dream. I'll definately use them again over any large chains, they are trustworthy and very good at what they do!.

Thanks again

Would like to thank Idriss on a great customer experience. From start to finish did not push for sale and let us look over the car at leisure.

First time for me buying a used car and came across exactly what I was looking for but living in the North it was a bit of a trek. I was sent a video walk around and all questions I asked were answered. I bought this car without being viewed and can honestly say I wouldn’t have if I didn’t have peace of mind. Car was driven to the North and delivered promptly. A lot of sales people can learn from the customer service shown at Selective Autos. First class.

Just purchased a BMW 430D from Idris and have to say it was a great experience. Not at all pushy, knowledgable, patient and most importantly sources quality cars. Thank you for your help, will definitely contact again in the future when we’re looking for another car!

Audi TT S-Line

Recently brought an Audi TT from Selective Autos. Initial contact with Paul was good , he even went out of his way to provide me with requested informative detail's even though this was out of hours (Thanks Paul).
Conversing and transactions of deal was great with no added pressures (Well done).
Great to know that there are still independent dealers out there who will deliver as stated with customer concerns addressed.
Would I use again; Yes
Would I recommend; Yes

After much searching for my specific hi-spec BMW 6 series, I came across Selective Autos. Living 140 miles away and aware of a 5 hour round trip to just view the car, I read and took confidence from the reviews and made the decision to go and view. What I can say is, like some have stated on here, the car was better than Idriss had modestly described it, 'being excellent throughout'.... It was showroom condition throughout, with a full main dealer service history.. As some reviews have also said, I can see why the company are called Selective Autos. It was by far the best condition model that I had viewed, being very picky and selective myself. The buying process was also made so easy, without any sales pressure whatsoever. Idriss was chilled, easy going and reassuring throughout. For me, a definite 5 star company and service and a very happy customer.

VW AMAROK

Recently bought a VW Amarok from Idriss and what an enjoyable purchase it was! Travelled down to collect and was unsure if the truck was going to be as nice as the pictures made it out to be however, Idriss assured me the truck was as described and when we arrived he certainly didn’t disappoint! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the truck! The whole process of buying was lovely, from collecting us at the station to waving us away in the truck. Was a pleasure to buy from Selective Autos and would highly recommend Idriss to any future buyers! His stock is great and all the cars he has are in brilliant condition! Thank you again Idriss, over the moon with the truck! 5 Stars all day!!

Honda Civic

We bought a Honda Civic from selective autos. Rang on a Tuesday and got it delivered on the Wednesday. He gave us two weeks to return it if we weren't happy as we couldn't test drive it due to the pandemic. The car is amazing though and we are super happy with it.

I don't normally write reviews good or bad, but I'm so impressed on this occassion I felt it was needed. Purchased a E220 Mercedes from Reece which is nearly in showroom condition with a perfect Mercedes service history and driven fawlessly ever since. We visited 5 dealerships that day looking at 4 other E220s and the experience in all of them was woefull, Reece's customer service is top notch I would have no problem buying a car from him again you can't say that about many dealerships if any?

We recently bought a lovely Audi TT from Reece at Selective Autos and it was a faultless experience from start to finish. Reece was extremely pleasant all the way through the process and we never felt pressured. Being a petrolhead and loving cars I always do a thorough inspection and test drive and as advertised the car was in brilliant condition with all necessary paperwork present. We’ve had the car over 2 weeks now and covered over 500 miles and it has been brilliant. My fiancée is over the moon with it! You can tell Reece sources his cars carefully and only stocks top examples of amazing cars and at great prices! We will definitely be checking his stock regularly to see what else comes up!

Bought a beautiful Honda Jazz 1.4 Si from Reece at Selective Auto's about a week ago. Its a fabulous car and Sue is very pleased with it, as am I (I was allowed to drive it today :-) ) We traveled a fair way to see the car but it was well worth it, as it was exactly as described - none of the usual exaggerated claims on condition, Reece said is was a very clean car and it most certainly was. He carefully selects the cars he sells (hence the name) and it shows. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
The Woodscamps, 14 Oct 2020
