My wife Dee and I have been dealing with John Banks, Ipswich since 2014, and purchased all of our new Honda cars from them. The dealership is both professional and friendly, walking into the showroom you WILL get a warm welcome and a hot drink, you WON'T get any kind of hard sell. I've mentioned 'professional' and 'friendly' to these I can add 'knowledgeable'. From Ed, the manager, through to Rhys, our sales exec, to Neil in servicing and repairs, the same concern for customer service and satisfaction pervades. We have had a new CRV and the much talked about Civic Type R from these guys and they always strive to go the extra mile to answer our questions and provide brilliant service. So if you like Honda cars - splendid vehicles in my book - and live in the Ipswich area, I recommend you go so see these guys...

Just picked up my new Arkana, the whole experience was great from start to finish with the whole team and Manny in particular, being very helpful. The car was slightly delayed due to supply issues with cars at the moment, but Manny kept me up to date on what was happening and when I could expect delivery. The handover was very good with Manny spending over an hour going over the functions of the car and helping me understand what all the displays and settings meant! This is the 2nd time I have purchased from John Banks and my daughter also purchased her new Dacia from them, so they are definitely doing a good job for our family. Would definitely recommend them.

Can't thank Ian Sutton and his technicians at John Banks enough for getting my car back into tip top condition. Quick diagnosis of the problem, and equally quick fixing the issue. Great service, I will definitely use them again and happily recommend them.

This was our first encounter with John Banks Ipswich We were greeted by Rhys who endeavoured to check his listings and find the ideal car to match our requirements Then the car was brought in from another dealership to allow us to test drive it and in Rhys's absence Kymberley looked after us extremely well The final purchase experience, while sipping a delicious hot chocolate, was straight forward, relaxed but also very professional Thank you

I picked up my new HRV last week and only have good things to say about the experience with John Banks Honda Ipswich Special thanks to Darren Martin who was very helpful throughout the process and was always available to answer any questions. At no time did I feel pressure to sign up and buy the car and was instead made to feel I could make an informed decision in my own time.

Currently trying to get my car repaired. John Banks won't answer their phones at all. Have been trying for a few days now. The automated booking schedule online offers you a potential repair - ONE MONTH into the future. At least answer your phone to people who have paid so much for a warranty!

This was my second Honda purchased from John Banks Ipswich and as per the first purchase the service and attention was excellent, no hard sell just straight forward dealing and negotiating. Many thanks to Kymberley for looking after the transaction and giving me a follow up call after a few days after collecting the vehicle to see how I was getting on with it. Cannot fault the service.

eBay adverts state all John banks sites are open 7 days a week. Turned up on Sunday to find they are actually closed. Wasted trip.

From my initial contact to arrange an appointment to picking up my new purchase couldn't have gone any better mainly thanks to Darren Martin. He listened to my requirements and suggested two alternatives with no pressure to buy anything. After chatting through my options both cars and also the financial side, my decision was made easily. All my questions were answered clearly and he made sure I understood everything. The car was prepared and made available on the date arranged. He even picked me up from the train station on the day of collection which I thought was a lovely touch. I have no hesitation in recommending John Banks Ipswich to anyone.

Good service, very pleasant salesman the car was very clean and ready for our test drive. All points that we highlighted were done ready for when we collected the car. Rhys was very helpful and followed up with a call a few days later to check if everything was OK

A brilliant experience with Kymberley from beginning to end of the purchasing process. From the welcoming smile & coffee on arrival to a professional handover of my new second-hand vehicle, the service was excellent. She captured my requirements clearly & accurately, quickly found a suitable vehicle and efficiently arranged for it to be brought to Ipswich for a test drive. Knowing that I was in a hurry, she even expedited the delivery. She explained each step of the process clearly, and arranged for all documentation to be sent to me for online signature to speed the purchasing process. Great job Kymberley & John Banks Ipswich…
