Customer reviews of Barclay Wood Motor Co Ltd

I purchased a Smart For Two Cabrio recently from BarclayWood motors. The guys were very friendly, attentive and professional throughout the entire process and I was really impressed with the service. They really seem to pride themselves is sourcing quality vehicles and the pricing was very transparent and fair. I am really pleased with the car and accompanying paperwork and also very impressed with the level of care they took over the presentation of the car when handing it over. Payment was simple and straight forward. All-in-all a great experience! Would definitely recommend using these trustworthy guys for your next purchase!

I popped in the other day and got great service from the staff at Barclay. I recommend visiting them if you have need in the Henley area!

They were very accommodating and flexible and also helpful with all the paperwork - they made you feel like it mattered to them that things were done properly. Buying a second-hand car is so fraught with worry, especially if you don't have much car knowledge, but they made an effort to give us as much information as we needed and it was all very professional and well-organised .. at the same time as being friendly. Recommended.

Having dealt with quite a few car dealers trying to find the right Alfa Romeo Mito, discovering Barclay Wood Motor Co Ltd was a breath of fresh air. From the moment I called and was told 'I wouldn't let you drive 50 miles if it wasn't actually here' to signing and driving away we were greeted with a friendly, helpful and trustworthy service. I would totally recommend them. Many thanks

Friendly and knowlegeable car dealers. Very easy to talk to; I was made to feel very welcome the moment I arrived. These guys are obviously passionate about their business, offering great quality cars at fair prices. I bought a lovely fiat 500 this morning in excellent condition. Very happy with my purchase, and pleased to support this great independent dealership.

Purchased a 3 year old Nissan Qashqai in September and have had many problems. In the first month of having it, I had to claim on my insurance to fix a badly fitted windscreen by this company, replace brake pads, carry out internal and external bulb changes, battery issues, replace all wipers and fix the auto wiper system. The car has also been juddering from day one and the latest diagnostic is that it needs a new clutch which will cost hundreds of pounds. When I told the owner he failed to do anything about it. I told him that as a dealer he had a legal obligation to outline these faults before selling the car but he failed to respond. He also said that it had one previous owner when it actually had two. All in all, a terrible purchase with hundreds of pounds of repairs, lots of stress and a dealer that doesn't care. My advice is to take a mechanic when going to see any vehicles sold by this dealer or you could end up like me.

Sorry to hear about your problems Simon, we never knowingly sell a car with problems and always try to be transparent with all our cars. Regarding your windscreen, all of our replacement windscreens are done through a well known insurance accredited/certified replacement service, so as per our conversations, I am unsure why you needed it replaced again. The car passed its last MOT with no advisories before you bought it, and our warranty does not cover wear and tear such as bulbs or wiper blades. Brake pads were not showing even minor wear at time of sale and neither we, nor yourself, found any problems with the clutch or the driveability of the car during the [road]testing of the car. Being a small business, it makes no sense for us to ‘ignore’ complaints but unfortunately we failed to come to an arrangement and you did not want to bring the car back to be inspected by ourselves. We wish you a trouble free motoring future, Regards Barclay Wood

I recently sold a car to Barclay Wood. The process was easy and very straightforward. I was offered a very fair price and the sale went through without issues. The staff I met were polite and positive.A pleasant experience.

Recently bought a Mercedes E320 from Nic, The car is in mint condition and drives like a dream and everything is as it should be. I did a lot of mileage and took it Mercedes for a free health check and it came back as clean as a whistle, so i was chuffed to bits!! I never thought of myself as a Merc man but with Nic's guidance he's changed me. A top bloke, who did me proud. The Mrs now wants a new car and I've asked Nic for his help. Need i say more!
