It's the best experience

HPL Oldham, It's the best experience. No pushy salespeople & everyone is polite.
We dealt with Tom who was a complete breath of fresh air. Friendly & professional all the way through the process from test drive,finance to collecting my new car. Cheers Tom

Mike King was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Due to the distance between my home and HPL in Stockport, he sent me a video detailing everything anyone could want to know about the car, including , very honestly, every defect which was sorted with no questions. Would highly recommend asking for him should you find a car you're interested in at HPL in Stockport.

Excellent service, very pleased

We dealt with Andy Anchor at the Oldham branch. Andy was very friendly and professional from the moment we viewed the car we wanted. Andy arranged the finance, and kept us up to date with the process calling us with updates.
We are super pleased with the service we have received from Andy, he has been fantastic. Thankyou for everything Andy. Happy new car to me.

Great Service

I recently purchased a SEAT from HPL Motors in Preston and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The whole process was straightforward, professional, and stress-free.

A special thank you goes to Jaime Tootle, who provided fantastic customer service throughout. Jaime was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely went above and beyond to help me secure the SEAT I wanted. Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept me informed every step of the way, making the experience enjoyable and reassuring.

I’m absolutely delighted with my new car and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend HPL Motors Preston to anyone looking for a quality vehicle and outstanding service. Thanks again, Jaime, for all your hard work and dedication!

Great experience

Travelled up from the south to purchase a car from HPL in Oldham, Kyle was great in helping to get everything sorted so we were able to take the car home the following day. Great personal service, went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations.

Buying a car with HPL was a great experience. There was no pushy sales staff, we had a leisurely look around. When we decided on the car we wanted to look at we were introduced to Charlie, he was very helpful, knowledgeable and great at his job. I would highly recommend buying your next car from HPL.

Allan was a great help!

Great selection of cars. Allan was really supportive, allowed me to test out a couple of cars, no pressure to buy and then got every sorted really quickly. Very re-assuring, couldn’t have asked for better service!

Would recommend. Easy and no pressure.

Sara was really on the ball from when I sent my enquiry to collecting the car. No pressure sales, and left me on my own to think about things. Lot's of time and space given. Even sorted some bits on the car that I hadn't noticed before I collected it.

A total lack of communication and professionalism.

A deeply unsatisfactory experience characterised by persistent communication failures and a lack of basic professionalism.

Although Jason’s initial service was positive, everything that followed fell well below acceptable standards. After identifying an issue with the boot on the car I intended to purchase, Jason assured me he would investigate and call back. He didn’t. When I chased the next day, I was told he was on leave until Thursday. I then asked Jack to pick this up; he also promised a call back and didn’t deliver.

When I finally reached Jason on Thursday, he confirmed there was no issue with the boot. I immediately confirmed I wished to proceed with the purchase. Because he was working at another site, he said Jack would need to take the deposit. Jack called, attempted to process it, then said he was having difficulty and would call back. Again, he didn’t.

When I contacted the dealership on Friday, I was informed the car had been sold to someone else.

A complete breakdown in communication, accountability, and customer care. Unacceptable, and far below the standard any buyer should expect.

Me and my partner bought a car from Charlie beginning of the year and had a fabulous evening, so when it was time to get another one we knew were to go and it’s the best decision we made. We get go home we a great car we can love for a long time.

An excellent experience

An excellent experience. Jason took us out for a test drive, explained everything to us.

He went through the purchase process, explaining additional items should I wish to purchase.

This was first class service and thanks to Jason for his professionalism

Great post sale support

The process of buying my vehicle was great from start to finish. Allan was great from sales at The Wirral and the servicing team at Oldham were brilliant. Especially Niamh who can be relied on to resolve any issues quickly which removes the risk with a big purchase.
