Motorway.co.uk sale

Sold my Mustang GT through Riviera this week after they were the highest bidders on motorway. Process was relatively smooth - could’ve been a bit quicker and easier to get a hold of the buyer to arrange collection, but not near bad enough to knock a star off.

Collection day with John their assessor was very good also, inspection was quick and easy. Was very patient as we walked through a small issue regarding the condition that had not been spotted before because of the weather, but once it was cleared up with the buyer the money was promptly in my account and off they went.

Great service all round, very happy with result.

I recently purchased a car and I’m extremely satisfied with both the vehicle and the overall experience. From the initial enquiry through to collection, everything was handled in a professional and efficient manner.
The car itself was exactly as described—clean, well-presented, and in excellent condition. It was clear that care had been taken to ensure it was ready for handover. The buying process was straightforward, with no pressure or unnecessary complications, which I really appreciated.
Communication was consistent and transparent throughout. Any queries I had were answered quickly, and I felt well-informed at every stage of the process. This made the experience smooth and reassuring.
Overall, I would highly recommend this seller to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. A reliable, professional service and a great buying experience from start to finish thank you Dante 👍

Seamless sale

Recently sold my Range Rover to Riviera. Great experience from start to finish and refreshing after being messed around by another dealer not showing up.

John is a huge credit to the company, professional and efficient and had a great chat. Hope to be buying a car from them in the future as well.

Chris is your man!

Had our eye on a Tesla M3P for a few weeks, sold our car and the same day the Tesla came down in price at Riviera…winner 🤩 Drove over to Cleckheaton (about an hour away) that afternoon, was handed the key card and was left to look at the car - amazing, no one hovering over you feeding you the usual car sales jibber jabber. Spoke to Chris afterwards who gave me all the info, deposit down and a very easy stress free process, pick up day arranged and off home I went. The next day I realised I’d messed my work days up and asked if it would be possible to collect a day earlier, this absolutely wasn’t a problem and was arranged swiftly. Chris messaged the morning of collection (yesterday) to confirm the time the car would be ready - brilliant 👍🏻 We arrived, had another thorough look at the car (my partner hadn’t seen it yet so was trusting my viewing!) and within 30 minutes everything was paid for, ownership transferred and we were on our way home in the horrendous M62 rush hour traffic 😂
Chris, thank you so much, top guy, the most stress free experience we’ve ever had buying a car!

1st class service - thanks John

Fantastic service delivered by the Riviera team, particularly John. Real gentlemen who not only knows his stuff but was also very reasonable on the back of noticing a slight mark. Thanks John, Riviera are lucky to have you!

Riviera Automotive Review: Chris

Chris at Riviera was my contact for my recent purchase of a lovely car. Not only did he know the car well but he was very professional from start to finish. Chris made the buying experience enjoyable and relaxed. He even gave me some informal advice on my own private sale. A comprehensive luxury service!

Just sold my Audi Q8 to Riviera Automotive.
John came and assess the car at my house. Was very professional and friendly. Didn’t try to beat me down in the price like some do making things up. Great easy transaction done within the hour. Would recommend dealing with these guys in the future.
