Rob at Bury St Edmunds Suzuki was friendly, helpful, professional and made the whole process of buying a used car as smooth and painless as possible. After my initial test-drive, I mentioned that the clutch pedal didn't feel quite right (wasn't 100% sure though) - Rob didn't hesitate to investigate it and consequently, a new clutch was fitted before the collection date a few days later. Very pleased with my purchase so far. I got the impression from the start that any query or concern I had would be taken seriously and I wouldn't be fobbed-off. I never felt like I was being rushed or hurried, which makes a refreshing change these days. It's a pity that not all my previous encounters with car dealers have been as positive but it was a reassuringly pleasant experience at John Banks Suzuki Bury St Edmunds. A great experience overall, would recommend!

We are delighted with our latest purchase of an HR-V from John Banks Honda Ipswich. Our sales representative Rhys Measor guided us through the process seamlessly, from test drive to purchase. He provided all the information we required and was encouraging without being too pushy. We have now purchased 6 cars over the years at John Banks Honda Ipswich and can't see any reason to change! Many thanks to Rhys Measor, Ed Kreckler and the entire team at Honda Ipswich for providing such good customer service.

In the 20 years we have lived in Suffolk using many main dealers for vehicle purchase John Banks Honda Ipswich was a breath of fresh air. From start to finish purchasing our new car it was flawless thanks to Rhys Measor who guided us through the process with ease. There was no pressure to purchase a vehicle at any time, which is so unusual. Rhys was so helpful and also assured us that he would solve any worries at any time in the future.

As a motability customer I’ve often found it difficult to find a car due to the fact I’m female and a disabled driver however my experience at John banks Ipswich with both Charlie and Kymberley was fantastic from start to finish not once was I made to feel different to any other customer I turned up without a pre arranged appointment and was shown to the car id looked at on the motability website by Charlie this guy was incredibly kind and helpful I had a lot of questions and despite not being the motability specialist (he should be) he answered everything sometimes twice (I have poor memory) and booked and took me out on the test drive with more repeated questions thanks so much Charlie. Then as Charlie wasn’t the motability specialist I was handed over to the lovely Kymberley who is lovely she is also very kind and couldn’t do enough to help me the whole experience was fantastic and I can’t recommend John Banks Ipswich highly enough thanks again Charlie and Kymberley I love my new Honda ZR-V

Although I phoned ahead to book a test drive, upon our arrival nobody appeared to have any knowledge of this! Not a very encouraging start perhaps, but we weren`t kept waiting for long. Kimberley took charge of us & soon we were out road-testing. We were very pleasantly surprised that we could take the car out on our own, without a chaperone. This really helped , as you feel more at home trying the various gadgets! Also, Kimberley arranged for us to try a second vehicle, to get a contrast, which we`ve also never had before (without asking!). When we came to purchase the car, everything went smoothly, & the car was prepped beautifully. All in all, we found what can be quite a stressful time was effortless (& pleasant!). Thanks again Kimberley!

Used Renault Zoe from another dealer developed a serious fault. Switchboard was initially a problem but after getting through to Matthew he explained my options (I didn't even know there was remaining Renault warranty!) and got me back on the road again the following day. After the horror stories I've heard about "dealer service" over the years this was a refreshing experience. Very likely to return for future servicing (despite usually using a great local independent garage).

This was my third time buying a car at Honda Nacton, and each time I’ve been very impressed with how my purchase was delt with. Answered all questions with as much detail required, always insuring l fully understood all the information I was given. I will definitely look at Honda first when I’m ready to replace the car again.
