I’ve been to Adam Bede’s 3 times for all my cars. Always been friendly and very helpful when looking for a new car. They have plenty of options and offer their opinion on what car would be best for your needs. Super great customer service even down to cleaning the car before it’s ready to be collected. They even put diesel in my new car that I collected today. I would highly recommend!

Carl provided us with the best service when selling us the dreamy orange dacia duster we are absolutely thrilled with it. The car was immaculate. He helped to advise us and point us in the right direction when it came to sorting out the finance and warranty procedures. He offered a fair price for our Kia as part of tge part exchange deal. Very proffesional and would definitely buy another car from him in the future. Lovely family run business. Very friendly and helpful. Would recommend to family and friends.

Fiat 500

We have just purchased a fiat 500 from Adam Bede, we were very pleased with the no pressure viewing and test drive. We got a fair px valuation and when it comes to choosing a another motor car then it's the little bits that make the difference. Upon collection the car was ready and waiting, with fuel in the tank, all paperwork ready and waiting. First Class service from local people who understand customer service.

Having visited a couple of garages looking for a new car this was by far the best experience. Friendly and honest, with no pressure, I immediately trusted Carl and Ollie. I purchased the car that I wanted at a reasonable price and was reassured that the aftercare, should I need it, would be there.

Suzuki Swift 4X4

Very good, friendly service showing a clear understanding of the customer and the type of vehicle required within a given price range. Care is taken to "get things right", vehicles once sold are well serviced and valeted for the new owner to collect and there is a choice of levels of warranty offered. Oh, and they make an excellent cup of tea, too!

Peugeot Partner

Picked up my new to me car today after having a recent bad experience with a larger car company it’s been refreshing to feel looked after whilst making this purchase. It’s definitely worth going to the smaller garage for that personal touch, Ollie has really made sure that everything was on point for me, good old fashioned customer service.

VW TIGUAN

Driving through Wirksworth saw a VW Tiguan. Agreed sale with Carl, who said he would get the car serviced and MOT. Collected the car the following week but on my return trip to Cambridgeshire we encountered a problem with the "infotainment" centre. Contacted Carl who then visited me with his wife in my home town, a round trip of about 200 miles, to change the "infotainment" centre.
Very impressed with the service and care provided by Carl. Would highly recommend

PEUGEOT 2008

Friendly, efficient and helpful service. Great car, competitively priced. Ollie pulled out all the stops to make sure I could drive the car away the next working day. Overall a reassuringly straightforward experience, but then not a surprise really as my family have been using Adam Bede for years! Definitely recommended.

My message to anyone looking for a car is forget your car supermarkets with all their field manure and visit Adam Bede. Absolutely amazing people and a truly wonderful experience, those guys are a different class. 10 star.

Toyota RAV 4

Fantastic service and very honest, friendly and knowledgeable team. I felt no pressure as we spent a few hours test driving and looking round the car we liked and later bought.

They came highly recommended and we can see why! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great car at a decent price!

We had been looking online for a new car for our daughter. Once we made contact with Carl at Adam Bede Motor Company the welcome and service we received from Carl was absolutely 100%. We travelled by train to pick the car up, Carl organised a lift to collect us from the station which was greatly appreciated. The car purchased was prepared perfectly with Carl going through all aspects of the transaction and registration nice and clearly with no rush. Would definitely recommend Carl and his team to others.

Went to view a car today at Adam Bede Motor Company. The welcome and service we received from Carl was absolutely 100%. He did everything he possibly could to get the car we wanted ready for us to take home and save us a long journey back to collect it. Thank you Carl, you are a true gentleman, not a pushy salesman at all, it was clear to see you take pride in your work and put your customers first. The long journey was well worth it and we will definitely recommend you to friends and family who are looking for a new car. We are so grateful and happy with the service and our purchase that we received from you today.

I bought my car in September last year and I love it as much today as I did then. It's a great car, at a great price. Had a very pleasant experience with no pressure sales tactics, and a kind friendly service. Had an unforseen issue which was dealt with promptly and efficiently. I would highly recommend this company. If in doubt, don't be!
Vikki Ure, 03 May 2022
 
We had a very pleasant experience buying a car from Adam Bede motor company.
Due to the current lockdown restrictions we were sent many photos and videos of the car we were interested in.
It was a very easy click and collect process,we even had the delivery option but we chose to collect. The car was immaculate inside and out and we were super happy with it.
Even in a full on lockdown our car buying experience was a 10/10.*****
