I had a very close shave with this dealer. I paid £1000 deposit on a red 2012 Maserati Granturismo, Subject to a satisfactory pre sale report from Meridien Maserati, that I paid £352 for. The dealer assured me that the car drove beautifully and agreed to take the car 18 miles to Southampton for the inspection. The inspection highlighted some very serious and some dangerous issues with the car, with an estimated £20k to put right. I asked for a refund immediately and was told that £60 would have to be deducted for petrol which had not been asked for in advance. I received a £939 10 days later. If you’re thinking of buying the red Maserati please ensure the brakes disks and pads have been replaced from a safety point of view and that the crankcase gasket has been replaced, not just a bead of silicon wiped across it to try and stem the oil leak. The chassis plates need to be replaced, the anti roll bar bushes are worn and the power steering pump has a leak. The service is now overdue

Its sad that Rob felt the need to try and defame us so publicly since we have only done what was agreed.For some context Rob lives in France so a friend viewed the car for him.He was happy with it so he left us £1k and wanted it to be taken to the maindealer for their highest level of inspection.We roll our eyes when this happens because we know that any item in used condition will be flagged for replacement at full dealer rates.Ofcourse any used hand built car of 9 years old will have some worn items.Even the guys at Maserati had a giggle with us about it,they see this all the time.Its unreasonable to expect an 8 year old car to be in "as new" condition.Rob even agreed to forfeit £60 for fuel/time but he's chosen to forget about that to give his gripes some credibility.We no longer agree to such demands for inspections by a third party, they are a waste of time/money for all.We will discuss this review with anyone curious, we are limited to 1000 words here,just ask us over the phone.

It is rare these days people phone you back after committing to. It’s normal now that you believe photos you look at will be an exaggeration of reality and that words of outstanding and excellent need to be treated with caution but a hope things might be. In May I bought a genuinely flawless Porsche Panamera from Elite in what I must say was one of the best experiences in car buying with communication that did what was agreed and care received to make sure all aspects were covered or found out if questions about the car were not immediately known. Regarding what is now my Porsche the advert words were totally accurate and if anything understated, customer service personal and genuine and photos that actually reflected fact. They’re in my contact list and without doubt I’ll consider buying from them in the future.

I recently purchased a 4yr old BMW 4 series convertible. The car was exactly as it was described on both the website and here, good condition with no 'surprises' when I arrived at the forecourt. The owner is relaxed , easy to do business with, and the whole process was straightforward and pleasant. I highly recommend the Elite Carriage Company.

In looking for a replacement for my BMW and keen to stay with a German car, I was presenting with a whole lot of options on Autotrader. However, it's not just about the car , it's the whole purchase experience. I concluded that a great car dealership service and pricing were at the top of the list. But the number one reason I selected 'Elite Carriage Company' dealership over many others is a ‘good dealer experience’. In my opinion, 'Elite Carriage Company' have set the bar well above the rest. Including contact via phone, email, and text. The initial greeting (first impressions), the sales process, vehicle hand over was great. The process was well explained and includes a clean and well-maintained facility (inside and out); staff that were courteous and willing to genuinely help the customer; premium quality service and a great competitive price for the milage too! I would recommend 'Elite Carriage Company' Lord P
