Excellent experience of selling my car to them
As a private seller who was selling a car for a reasonable amount of money via Autotrader, I was a bit nervous selling it privately because of scams etc.
Karl from TGM made contact via phone having seen the advert and I immediately felt confident and reassured. Based on the car description he made an offer which I accepted and he came to pick the car up the next day. There was no messing about or trying to lower the price when he arrived - he was a very good genuine chap. We both went through paying off the outstanding finance and transferred ownership.
I'd recommend TGM - my experience of selling a car to them was excellent. Thanks for a smooth and easy transaction.
Great experience from an honest broker
Straight talking, easy to deal with and good, prompt payment
Great company to do business with
Great company to do business with. I sold my car to them and they made the whole process really straight forward. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing car sales
Bought a lovely 3 series BMW for very reasonable money. The car was as described and the whole experience was faultless.
Very impressed with TGM and would recommend them to anyone looking for a lovely car and an excellent overall experience
Carl was very efficient and excellent…
Carl was very efficient and excellent to deal with. Professional, honest and truthful. The whole process was seamless, I am a very happy customer and would highly recommend TGM.
Having a major mechanical failure
Having a major mechanical failure, I found Tom who explained to me, how to proceed in rebuilding the engine and managed to find a replacement block as mine was scrap. Although it took some time to sorce all the new parts from around the globe the engine is like a new S K2 and the price was extremely generous considering all the work required. At first I thought the car was scrap. So I'm very happy to have the car back again on the road for the summer
A trouble-free transaction
Karl was prompt, helpful and knowledgeable. I felt I could trust him - not guaranteed in the car trade!
Awesome!
From the first phone call to when the car got delivered (over 400 miles away!)everything went smoothly and as described!
Great communication and a fantastic company to deal with!
Smooth Transaction
Great company to deal with, I advertised my car on Autotrader, and had a phone call on the first day, they paid a £250 deposit, then arranged a collection date. I dealt with Karl, who arrived and paid the balance, and was gone within 15 minutes. Did not try to reduce the price agreed like other car buying sites do. Highly recommended. Thank you.
Hassle free sale
Hassle free sale, price agreed on the phone was the price he paid, great service
Sold car to TGM specialist cars
Sold car to TGM specialist cars. Process was fantastic, car was picked up within a few days. Really pleasant experience.
Excellent Customer Service
My experience with TGM was with Karl who was friendly and professional throughout, providing clear communication and excellent customer service. We agreed a deal that I was happy with and everything progressed smoothly from the very first moment through to the conclusion. I would definitely recommend TGM and Karl in particular for anyone looking for a good deal on a car with excellent service and professionalism.
Made me a good offer on my vehicle following up my autotrader advert
Made me a good offer on my vehicle after responding to my autotrader advert. Agreed to wait until my new car was ready for collection. Collected the vehicle from my home address. Paid me by bank transfer on collection without any haggling. Very straightforward arrangement and a pleasure to deal with honest professional people.
T G M Darlington
Having had a bad experience prior to visiting t g m car specialist s, it was refreshing dealing with Johnathan at Darlington, car was excellent and as described, bought the car and can only recommend anyone wanting a decent motor, get down to t g m.
Excellent Service
TGM have been looking after my S2000 for a few years now. I moved out of the area and now make a 100 mile round trip. Tom and Will recently did a load of rust repairs on my S2000 fitting rear wings and inner arches, undersealing the car and service. I couldn't be happier with the result. Tom has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the car. For instance he recommended a slight mod on the timing chain tensioner and now it runs on 10-60 oil and doesn't sound like biscuit tin full of spanners when it hits the vanos. The car has done 200,000 miles.
