What do our customers say

“eStar's service was excellent."

eStar's service was excellent. The Sales Consultant was really attentive, paid attention to everything I was looking for, and found the perfect vehicle. They delivered the vehicle in person and took the time to provide a comprehensive overview of all its features and functions. I couldn't be happier.

"If ever I need them... they’ll always bend over backwards"

Flexible, customer-focused aftersales back-up is, therefore, more crucial than ever to the smooth running of our business. I’ve built up a very good relationship with General After Sales Manager Gareth Williams and his team at eStar Stoke, and know that if ever I need them to juggle things around they’ll always bend over backwards to accommodate us.

The service provided by the Dealer’s Truck Sales Consultant was also first-class. He’s a great guy and clearly understands what we need from a chassis.

"I’ve been really impressed with everything I’ve seen so far of the Dealer"

We’re an environmentally conscious business so I’m hoping that this is just the start of an ongoing relationship with eStar as we transition away from diesel and into more electric vehicles.

Certainly, I’ve been really impressed with everything I’ve seen so far of the Dealer. Its Van Sales Consultant clearly knows what he’s talking about when it comes to the technology. He’s been very informative and helpful throughout, while our eVito Tourer was delivered right on time.

Drew CampbellGroup Operations Director

"eStar understands our business"

eStar understands our business and what we need in terms of back-up. Inspections and routine services are carried out at times that suit us, and if ever we have an issue we know the Dealer will do everything it can to get the vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible. Communication is all-important at such times and eStar’s is excellent.

Phil BateTransport Operations Manager

"I've given them 5 stars as that's what they deserve."

The service was very friendly and professional. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I found the staff very kind and helpful. All the work carried out was excellent, I've given them 5 stars as that's what they deserve and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Also the building was super nice and clean which just makes the whole experience as pleasant as possible.
