Customer Reviews
What Our Customers Say
“Bought a Vauxhall Astra from Solent and couldn't be happier. No pressure at all, the lads were straight with me about the car's history and even sorted a small scratch before I picked it up. Will definitely be back when I'm ready to upgrade.”
James T.
Fareham
“Been taking my Golf here for servicing for two years now. Always honest about what needs doing and what can wait — never feel like I'm being upsold. Booked online, dropped off first thing, car was ready by lunchtime.”
Sarah M.
Portsmouth
“Picked up a Focus ST last month. Price was fair, part-ex was handled without any hassle and they sorted the MOT and a full valet before handover. Much better experience than the main dealers I tried first.”
Dave R.
Waterlooville
“Came in with a mystery rattle that two other garages couldn't find. Solent diagnosed it same day — turned out to be a loose heat shield. Sorted in an hour and charged me a fair price. Genuinely impressed.”
Claire B.
Gosport
“Good selection of used cars and the staff were helpful without being pushy. The Fiesta I bought had a couple of minor issues but they sorted them under warranty without any fuss. Good honest dealership.”
Mark H.
Havant
“Had my brakes and tyres done here after getting a quote that was almost half what Kwik Fit wanted. Quality work, friendly team and they even topped up my washer fluid and checked the tyre pressures all round without being asked.”
