- Rating 5.0Sep 10, 202410/10 Group 1 Mini Bedford
I have never bought a car before I had no idea what to expect. We were approached by Joshua who was polite and attentive to our needs. Joshua was knowledgeable and we soon had ordered the Mini Countryman of our dreams. Joshua kept us up to date on delivery times via email the whole waiting time.
On collection of our Car Joshua was ready and organised and calmly talked me through the process. Joshua without a doubt made the whole process for me so much easier as had never experienced buying a car before. Without Joshua I would have been clueless. I trusted in the process.
Joshua is an asset to your team, he is a definite 10/10 😊Response from Group 1 MINI BedfordSep 11, 2024Hi Sharon, thank you for taking the time to leave us this brilliant 5 star review, your comments have been passed to Management to ensure that Joshua receives recognition for his fantastic customer service which he provided to you. - Rating 5.0Aug 29, 2024Friendly and helpful teamResponse from Group 1 MINI BedfordAug 30, 2024Hi Valerie, thank you for your kind words - we're glad to have been of service!
