Testimonials

Chris at Christopher James Automotive, is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. No pushiness and he came across sincere.
I’m happy with my little Fiat, which came with the added reassurance of a 3 month warranty and a week after purchase, Chris contacted me to check everything was ok, which is a good indication that he actually cares.
Thanks Chris!

I will start this review by saying thank you Chris .
This has been the very best experience of purchasing a car in my 45 years of driving.
I found Chris to be the most honest car dealer I've ever met.
I purchased an absolutely stunning SLK from Chris after seeing it advertised on Auto trader,...the pictures were amazing, but I've been there before as so many dealers have the ability to make a car look better than it actually is. I emailed Chris as I was travelling from Frome asking if the car was as good as it looked. I had a very positive email back concerning the condition also an offer for a walk-around video.The email from Chris, as silly as it sounds, came across as honest ... so me and the wife decided to drive to Marlborough first thing.
Upon arrival and seeing the car it was an instant wow factor, the car was presented in the most amazing condition.
It's been 2 weeks since purchasing my Slk and it's still giving me the wow factor. Chris is very passionate about his business and it shines through to the cars he sales. I couldn't recommend Chris enough, absolutely 5 star.

We challenged chris to source an ideal first car for our fussy 17 year old son. He thought of pro’s and con’s we didn’t think of, steered us away from unsuitable options and came up trumps with the ideal car for all my sons needs. Can’t thank Chris enough for his professionalism, understanding, advice and service he offered. Do not hesitate to contact Chris for his expertise, you won’t be disappointed. Happy 2nd Birthday CJA x

Yes bought this at the weekend, what an amazing car. Chris was absolutely fantastic, would highly recommend

Excellent, friendly, hassle-free service from Chris. Car as described & well presented. I would recommend without hesitation.

I had an outstanding experience with Christopher James Automotive from start to finish. There was absolutely no pressure at any point, which made the whole process relaxed and enjoyable. Chris took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and was more than happy to source a vehicle tailored to my specific requirements.

What truly set them apart was their commitment to ensuring I received the best possible value for money. Everything was handled with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. It never felt like they were just trying to make a sale — their priority was clearly finding the right car.

The entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a trustworthy and customer-focused car buying experience. Will definitely be returning in the future!

My wife and I just purchased a lovely Mini Challenge 210 from Chris, and what a pleasure it was.
Chris was great to do business with, and the car was presented beautifully.
Many thanks.

Recently purchased a Mercedes SLK from Chris. The car was immaculate inside and out. Very pleased with the car and would definitely recommend them.

Myself and my dad travelled down from Scarborough to view and collect a Focus ST from Chris and what an absolute pleasure it was. Upon arrival the car was pristine, not scuff or even a spec of dust, Chris was very professional and took great pride in the car and rightfully so. backed by genuine full dealer service history the car is a credit to both him and the previous owner. being in the motor Trade Myself I can confidently say CJA is the best independent dealership I've ever visited, thanks Chris!

The best transaction I have ever completed when buying a car. Chris was totally honest during the whole process (unusual for a car dealer!) pleasant to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. He even sorted out a new number plate because the spacing was uneven on the plate on the front of the car. The car itself is amazing, the work that must have gone into the detailing is incredible - it was presented in top notch showroom condition. I really cannot say enough good things about this dealer, brilliant!
I would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again.
Thank you Chris, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you.

Fantastic company, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to all my friends and family especially if you want a pressure free enjoyable experience!

We bought our Kia Stonic from CJA and one year on we are still very pleased with it. Thanks Chris.

My dad recently purchased a car through Chris and he is over the moon with it. The car was presented very well and Chris was very easy to deal with. The car after a few days showed a fault with the clutch master cylinder.(common fault) Chris organised a new genuine part to be fitted instantly and dad is really happy there were no delays. Aftersales are always a good test to how good a company is I think. I would not hesitate to recommend Christopher James to anybody looking for a used car. Thanks again.
