Reviews of D Salmon Cars

M. S.

I recently purchased a Giulia through D Salmon Cars and can honestly say I received an excellent service, especially from Lewis Calver in sales. Unfortunately I didn't have long on my initial visit, but Lewis was brilliant, answered all my questions, and arranged to complete the final paperwork remotely. Unfortunately the car had a couple of minor issues on delivery, however the service department went above and beyond to sort these for me. Credit to Darren Lynn service manager. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for an Alfa Romeo.

I can honestly say these guys are THE BEST! Amazing ‘old school’ customer service (you can see why they’ve been in business 50 years!) kind, thoughtful, and seamless…I was buying my first car in 30 years and they made it so easy & smooth - and everyone thinks the 8 year old Fiat I bought is new! Bravo D Salmon - great work 🙏👍👏

E. A.

Not the cheapest but they were the only people who could get my sons car in quickly. customer service was great with a follow up call the next day to see if all ok... TBH for what we payed though £1000 + i would have expected the car to have been washed !!

I bought a clutch slave cylinder and filler reservoir for my son's Fiat 500. The chap in the Parts Department couldn't have been more helpful. Excellent Service and Great Knowledge and really helpful.

R. W.

I have been using D Salmon Cars for car purchase and servicing for over 40 years. That should indicate my complete satisfaction with the service I receive!

S. L.

Decided to drop German and go Italian absolutely no regrets Kevin on sales showed us around the car offered a test drive excellent service they seem very family oriented suited us

S. 1.

Very good service here, sale staff very accommodating, knowledgeable and considerate

C. S.

Had my car in for a pull handle fix. Even though it was a small job I found the staff to be helpful, friendly and efficient unlike some other alfa dealers (Chelmsford) who were not interested at all. I will be using this place for my next service.

I took the 2010 Fiat 500 1.4 sport that I bought for my wife. It had a problem with the start/stop system. I’d had it looked at by a “garage” under warranty - £329 and fault still there ! Plus a lot of “bodging” and poor repair!. I was recommended D Salmon by a friend in the trade. Took it there today and WHAT A DIFFERENCE - They diagnosed it straight away, fixed it and now my wife’s very happy (as am I !). What lovely and helpful staff, the car park, workshops and showrooms were all awesome !. THANK YOU ALL !. Your a credit to yourselves - Customer Satisfaction indeed !

Friendly staff with no hard sell. Everything was explained in detail and our questions were answered fully. We dealt with Mark who was the salesman on the Jeep side and he arranged a test drive for us. We tried the vehicle and were almost sold on the idea of purchasing that particular model. However we said we would let him know in a day or so after thinking it over. After we arrived home I decided that the model we tried did not match my Jag and called Mark to say we would not proceed with the purchase. After explaining why Mark said if he could find another vehicle to meet my requirements would I still be interested, he called the next day to say he could access another model for me. I agreed and a week later went down to Colchester to test drive another vehicle. I test drove a courtesy car and within a couple of miles made up my mind to purchase a new Jeep. We completed the order there and then. The whole process from PXing the Jag to collecting the new motor was completed was 2 weeks. Brilliant service.

A. O.

Excellent dealers. Never pushy like some. Polite,relaxed and will always try to get the best deal they can for you. Have used for many years buying new cars and now waiting for my new giulia veloce ti.........

D. M.

Took my Fiat Ducato van in for a full service during in these crazy times, the service team were 100% professional and safe, very organised. I picked up my van the same day, they did exactly what they said they would do, no funny extras that you get from some garages, very happy, big thanks again D Salmon Cars.

C. J.

We have had our Dodge Viper serviced, MOT’d, recalled by Dodge and parts ordered from the States - all through D Salmon. On each occasion the experience has been excellent. The service team are unfailingly courteous, responsive and ‘on top of things’. The Viper is a special and rare piece of kit in the UK and it’s good to know we can get the support we need from these guys. We can thoroughly recommend them

P. G.

A helpful & polite main dealership. Have used D. Salmon service department for warranty work on my Alfa Romeo. I have to say that they go the extra mile to accommodate you as regards to booking in your vehicle & rectifying any issues with your may not have been aware of. Full marks!!! :-)

S. ..

Not my local Alfa dealer, but Andy in parts department is second to none, knows his stuff and did in half hour what other dealers couldn't manage in 3 days. Would recommend them above others! And to top it off, the price on parts was similar, if not in one instance cheaper than used on line parts.

S. B.

My dad was absolutely delighted with D Salmon Cars, the whole process from the first phone contact to the delivery of the car. Philip was brilliant, he was very knowledgeable about the car, made us a cup of coffee and showed me around the car on the test drive. All of this seems to be very simple and it is, thumbs up to Philip and the rest of your staff, trust them, my dad did and he is a very happy camper.

F. V.

First time using D Salmon. Had my Alfa Gulietta serviced and cambelt replaced. Very pleased with everything, specially the fact they fixed the problem with my headlamps! without making any fuss! Also the very pleasent and polite lady at service desk.

C. F.

Fantastic service from all the team. Paul, Debbie, Lauren and Chris were all so helpful in making some safety checks and repairs to my Fiat Punto that I’d purchased elsewhere. Chris and Paul even spoke to the warranty company to agree what would be covered. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Also, I didn’t recognise my car when I picked it up. It had been professionally valeted inside and out. I will be returning for my servicing and MOT.

L. S.

I have just purchased a new fiat 500 star. I dealt with Kevin who was very helpful and not at all pushy, which I have often found with car salesman. I highly recommend Salmons colchester. Thankyou Kevin, you have a very happy customer.

L. B.

My Daughter and I visited for a look and my Daughter placed an order for a new car. The salesperson was not pushy, allowed us to look as much as we want and ask as many questions as we want. Easy parking and access and the tea offered was nice too. My Daughter cannot wait to collect her new car.

A. K. s.

Could do with more comfortable seating for Motability customers. Other than that they do the job you'd expect and their reminder service for warranty tune ups etc are excellent but not the best spot for hanging around for an hour or two while car being checked.

S. B.

During the visit that I made yesterday I received the highest standard of customer service and repair and was delighted. I enquired about the damage caused to my car bumper when parked and the driver failed to leave their details. First I was met by an understanding and helpful receptionist who suggested that I speak to Darren. Darren could not have been more helpful and provided an immediate solution. I have no hesitation in recommending the staff and quality of work at D. Salmon. Thank you.

D. D.

Very friendly service and bought my jeep there and had few issues but staff was very quick to help me out and never let me down lovely selection of jeeps there plus others.

A. W.

Looked after us very well, and we came away really happy with our new Jeep. Sales team were awesome couldn't do enough but the vallet teams attention to detail was disappointing. Phil and Mark 10/10 though!

F. C.

Bought my Fiat 500 here and have it serviced here. Very helpful and welcoming staff. Service department always explain exactly what needs doing and cost incurred. Car always cleaned and hoovered. Very happy to recommend.

G. R.

First of all on entering the dealership I was greeted by a very polite receptionist who ask if I needed any help. I enquired about details on a specific car, so I was introduced to Kevin cain the salesman, who was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable on the vehicle I was looking at . Not at all pushy he asked if I would like to come in and have a test drive and showed me around the car. Having worked in car sales myself I found this a very refreshing experience and would highly recommend D Salmon cars on the strength of this visit

We got our new Jeep Compass 2 weeks ago from D.Salmon. We had a nightmare just before we was about to go and see Mark about trading our Renegade in the Turbo went I thought I was going to be hard work and us at a loss. Mark Davis and team could not have been any more helpful. We had our Renegade towed to them for them to deal with and they offered us a loan car (at no cost)while we got that car sorted and looked at a new car. Mark got us a great deal with the new Compass which we are very pleased with. Mark went above and beyond for us, his customer service was suburb. Highly recommend.

f.

Quality, pleasant and pleasurable experience buying a new Tipo. No pressurised selling either. Special thanks to Mark Davis who was the salesman. Highly professional and helpful throughout the whole process.

R. C.

This is the second new Abarth that I have purchased from D Salmon cars via Kevin Cain, and both times I have been delighted, not just with the car, but also the service I received, with everything explained about the agreement and also about the car itself in detail. Very professional all round. Thank you.

M. B.

Excellent service. Not all Alfa dealerships are good news - this one is. Highly recommended.

D. C.

I've been a customer here 15 years and my experience has generally been positive (though not invariably so). Service is serious and professional. As you would expect for a franchised dealer, their prices are not cheap. Salmons is conveniently located and a hire car service is available while yours is being serviced.

K. P.

I have just had my Jeep serviced at D Salmon Cars. They also carried out warantee work items including work previously attempted by a jeep dealer in Chelmsford that caused more damage than when it went in. Vehicle feels like it has been serviced and is running like new. Its so nice to finally find a dealer that understands the vehicles they are working on. On picking up the vehicle time was spend running through all the works that had been done. Great dealer, its a shame all jeep dealers in the area are not the same.

M. T.

Very nice showroom, a good selection of previously owned cars. Efficient staff. My close friend's daughter bought her first Jeeb Renegade there, as she passed her driving test few days ago. Lovely car

p. p.

Recently bought an Abarth 595 for my wife from D Salmon Cars. Mark Davis was able to source us the car which we wanted, both specifications & in the correct colour. He regularly made contact to update us on delivery date, and explained all of the options available regarding purchase. We were very satisfied with his attention. The delivered car had some white specs after the removal of the protective covering as well as some water marks after being jet washed. Neither should have been there on a brand new car.

J. H.

2nd new fiat 500 bought here, this time with Kevin. Other dealerships are closer to home, but have always found Salmons professional, pleasant and easy to deal with. As before have taken the service plan and feel that the extra travel to get there is worth it.

M. C.

I was looking for a small business lease car and spent time going around the local dealerships I finally choice Salmon cars not only because of the quality of the product but the knowledgeable and friendly service I received from Kevin the business sales manger . I can recommend you talk to Salmon cars before making a decision on a lease car Mark Chatterton EzeletEzemove

S. T.

Excellent service, bought another car so must be ok 😂

D. L.

I have given a 4 * rating mainly based on the buying experience of Philip. However, after sales is a nightmare. We purchased a sat nav at point of sale and had been discussion having a sat nav through our buying cycle. The sat nav is effectively a memory card which slots into the dash. Simple you would think. 5 weeks later, no sat nav, still It's on back order. I can buy one on amazon and eBay with next day delivery although having paid for it have to wait. Come on D Salmon, customer experience is paramount these days... Get fiat and yourselves together, its a sat nav not a rare bespoke fitted addition, these days its a standard expectation. Please!!

M. H.

Very helpful staff when I went into to test drive a used Jeep, returned calls, setup a test drive etc. Recommend coming here over the jeep dealer in Chelmsford who was not interested in my business.

D. W.

Had a problem with the rear screen heater on my AlfaRomeo which they sorted at no charge, and I was loaned a courtesy car!

S. G.

Standard main dealer experience, does what it says on the tin.

N. S.

Great place to buy a car. Friendly staff, quality clean cars and a very satisfied customer ready to buy a car. Good job.

P. 2.

A great experience. So much better than the the ridiculously corporate service of the 'over promising under delivering' German brands.

M. L.

I saw Kevin Price's review and wanted to say the same D Salmon were the only local dealership that could sort out my The dealership in Chelmsford couldn't fix the car after the 5th attempt and having the car for 3 1/2 months and then causing significant damage they then refused to carry out further warranty work, I now would only take my car to D Salmon

K.
