Too Good to Be True… But It Wasn’t
I had just sold my Audi S3 and needed a reliable run-around fairly quickly. I was specifically looking for a VAG car within my budget, but after searching around, I came across quite a few questionable dealers operating under multiple names. At that point, I honestly didn’t think I’d find a genuinely well-looked-after car.
I came across a Golf listed on Autotrader by Car Care Ealing and decided to head over the same day.
When I arrived, I spoke with Dan and mentioned I had called earlier about the Golf. He immediately handed me the keys and let me take my time looking around the car. First impressions were great — it looked very clean. I took it for a test drive, and it was exactly what I needed… almost felt too good to be true.
When I got back, I told Dan I wanted it. The whole process was smooth and quick — again, almost surprisingly so. I drove the car home and it didn’t miss a beat.
Dan was brilliant throughout — friendly, helpful, and transparent. He took the time to go through everything properly. I was initially a bit sceptical due to the amount of major work reportedly done on the car (timing belt, water pump, etc.), so I booked it in with my usual garage who specialise in VAG vehicles.
They carried out a thorough inspection and, while they couldn’t verify every piece of work that had been done, they gave me detailed feedback confirming the car is in very good condition. There are a few minor jobs to sort, but that’s just normal wear and tear for a car of this age.
Overall, my experience with Car Care Ealing — particularly on the sales side — has been very positive. I can’t comment on their garage services, but from a buying perspective, they were excellent.
