The SL Shop - Testimonials

Sam, "My friends thought I was mad to buy an old car I hadn’t seen, over the phone and from a guy I never met, but how wrong they were!
Your reputation for excellence and genuine old fashioned professional service is extremely deserved. The car is an absolute stunner and your friendly and efficient support throughout the process of preparing and delivering the car overseas are all the more remarkable when considering you only advertised it one week ago.
My only regret is that we didn’t have the opportunity to meet face to face this time round but I hope to shake your hand next time I’m in the UK.
Well done Sir!
Dr. Ladki"

"Sam - just a brief note to say a big thanks for your exceptional service yesterday. The car was exactly as described and even though I saw it before it has been given a valet, service, etc, I could see that it stood shoulders above other cars I had viewed (hence me buying it!) – well worth the journey from Hertfordshire. I am looking forward to picking it up in a few weeks once it has been through your exhaustive “pre delivery” regime and am sure the car will become a lifelong friend. It was also refreshing to have some proper “no pressure” banter with your expert mechanic (who I then found out was your Dad) and also your pro valet chap, who was really getting the cars into a wonderful condition. Great stuff - see you in 2 weeks!"

"Dear Mr Bailey,
We would like to compliment the SL Shop for its extremely professional yet courteous and friendly service. With a wide range of Mercedes SL cars, you were most generous with your time during the choice of our SL ( a lovely blue SL 300 ) answering our questions and giving advice as needed, and ensured the vehicle was in in top top shape on collection. The SL Shop cannot be faulted for its excellent business approach where nothing is too much trouble. Old fashioned customer service at its best and we will strongly recommend the SL Shop to our friends. By the way, the smile is getting bigger as we drive the 300 more and more."

"I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for everything. The SL ran the 345 miles home like a dream. I still have the grin on my face now."

"I BL**DY LOVE the car you sold me Sam. Thanks v much for everything and Barry(transport) too."

"Guys, I am so glad I visited you at the NEC. Can you pass on my thanks to everyone involved in helping me acquire my dream Merc....It’s amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. PS even though I have an SL I still look at your web site - top job!"

"Just like to say that the TF is just great - since picking it up yesterday we have done a mini 'tour of the Cotswolds', 150 miles all round and the car has been a delight. The extraordinary weather helped but with a fifty year old car in original condition one has to be ready for the odd problem. Not a bit of it, just smiles all the way with plenty of admiring glances and appreciative comments. It has been a pleasure dealing with you."

"I bid on this car on your E-Bay auction and did not view the car as I was thousands of miles away at the time of the auction. I put my faith in the professionalism of your presentation and your feedback ratings.

I am well pleased that I did. The car is fantastic and a credit to it's former owners. For a sixteen year old car it drives wonderfully and I am very satisfied with both the vehicle and the price that I paid for it.

We put the top down as the weather was nice and apart from a brief stop to tax the vehicle the journey was non stop to Scarborough about 200 miles.

I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from you and will let my friends know of your operation.

I am back in Nigeria already but not before I tucked the Jag up in it's carcoon. I can't wait to get back and have the pleasure of driving around in it more. I am hoping to make the Jaguar Northern Day at Harewood house. This XJS is one I can arrive in with a great sense of pride."
