Reviews of Portland Autos
G. W.
Had a very good buying experience from initially viewing the car through to picking it up. Bought a BMW 5 series GT, although it was one of the cheapest vehicles there, I was still made to feel my custom was valued and respected.
Rob was in constant contact with updates on the few bits of work being done on the car at my request and when it would be ready for pick up.
Thanks to all the team from the photo guy who takes brilliant pictures, the valet team who prepared my car to an amazing standard, and Rob who was great all the way through.

Best and most at ease car buying experience I've ever had. Rob and his team where faultless.
Was very well looked after during and after the sale and loved the personal touches , even a drink for the journey home.
Will always check stock on website before going elsewhere in future .

Buying one of my dream cars from Portland Autos was a great experience. I dealt primarily with Rob and James. Having made a long journey to the dealership, I was welcomed in a great manner by Rob and while looking at the car, I didn’t feel pressured at all. Very relaxed experience.
The dealership is in a fantastic location and looks amazing I must add.
Portland Autos were very accommodating to my requirements as I was not ready to purchase the car right away and held the car for me for circa 2 months on trickle charger etc. During this time, various work was done on the car to have it in a great condition for my collection day.
When it came to collection day, it couldn’t have gone smoother - a nice, fast and slick process and before I knew it, I was driving away in my new car with a massive smile on my face.
Post sales service from Rob and James was great as well, the car had some issues with tyre pressure as soon as I drove away and this persisted for a few weeks after collection day. This was due to a tyre repair not being done correctly - when this was done was unknown to both Portland Autos and myself. However, Rob and James approached this professionally; we were able to come to an agreement that worked for us both whereby Portland Autos paid for half of the bill for a new tyre.
I’d certainly buy a car again from Portland Autos.

Portland Autos were an absolute pleasure to deal with.
Adam dealt with sale of the car from start to finish, with great communication and efficiency. It made the whole buying experience an absolute delight and I couldn’t be more thankful.
I spoke to Adam after being messed about by a dealership, where I initially placed an order for a vehicle and after 7 months of false promises I still hadn’t received the car. I cancelled my order and within days purchased a beautiful, immaculate vehicle with Adams help.
The after care I received was excellent. A few weeks after the purchase, I came across a minor fault. I spoke to Adam and without hesitation, he offered to replace the part free of charge. He placed the order the same day and it arrived the following day. What an excellent service.
Thank you so much for all your help. It was a pleasure from start to finish.

I’ve bought two beautiful cars from Portland Autos and have a third one coming in Oct. Adam, James & Clive go above and beyond to help you find exactly what you are looking for and your needs in a car. Nothing is too much trouble this is an amazing family business with such a personal touch added to the experience. These guys are more like family friends tbh, always a bit of banter and time for a chat.
They are def not typical car sales men, you are never pressured or pushed into a sale. They are passionate about making sure your happy with your purchase and the longevity of your custom.
Thanks guys it’s always a pleasure and your cars are always first class !
J. H.
Great service and support throughout my purchase. I travelled a fair distance to buy and both James & Rob made it worthwhile. Would highly recommend and will utilise Portland again.
Thank you.

I recently bought my Bentley from Portland Autos. James handled my purchase from start to finish, and he was exceptional.
Right from my initial hesitant enquiring email ( which was responded to by a phone-call very quickly), to my driving away in my dream car, the experience was seamless.
This was by far, the most efficient and helpful car buying process that I have had.
Thank you Portland Autos.What a team! (and what a car!)
J. P.
Recently purchased a stunning BMW M5 from here and I’m absolutely in love with it! The staff were incredibly polite and easy to talk to. Hassle free experience that I would recommend anyone to buying a car from them. Situated in a stunning place with beautiful cars on show and a lovely atmosphere. Thank you very much!
P. W.
Quality car, personal service, great communication with attention to detail. (Nothing is too much trouble)
This is the second car I've bought from Clive and the team at Portland.
I recommend without hesitation.
Thanks again

I recently purchased a Porsche carrera 4. At all times I felt I was treated fairly and with respect. Telephone calls were promptly returned.
Every aspect of the transaction appeared to have been considered; for example, our private 'plate had been transferred from the part exchange to the new purchase, without prompting.
First class service, thouroughly recommended without hesitation.
D. T.
Had great experience buying my M4 from portlandautos, from going for a look to being handed the keys to test drive, josh couldn't have been more helpful even giving me and my wife a tour of the exotic cars on display there. They couldn't give me a great px on my old car... but they knew a man that could... and did. Due to me being away Josh delivered my car with no problems. Thanks again josh and Clive.... Will definitely recommend and be back one day myself.
M. E.
Having purchased a couple of vehicles over the years with Portland, they never fail to disappoint. The customer service is second to none and their quality of cars is exceptional.
Great company and great people!
D. C.
What a pleasant experience just picked up a great Audi TT Black edition. Rob could not have been any more helpful a refreshing change to not have any worries. Number plates change all sorted in 24 hours.
A Great experience thanks again

This weekend I took delivery of my Range Rover Sport from Portland and the whole experience has been absolutely first class. From my initial enquiry all the way through to the delivery of my new car it has been a pleasure. The whole team at Portland are clearly passionate about the quality cars they sell and their efficiency and customer service are second to none. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Portland Autos.
N. B.
Such a pleasant experience buying from Portland Autos, Adam and the team could not have been more helpful. Always quick to respond to emails even over the Christmas period. It’s my dream car and the experience lived up to and often exceeded expectations. I have in the past bought through main dealers and this was such a relaxed and pleasant experience in comparison. The car is in fantastic condition and prepped to a high standard I would not hesitate to buy from them again and certainly highly recommend them. Thanks and Happy New Year.
R. M.
Traded in my Audi Q7. Rob looked at the car for barely one minute. He didn’t kick the tyres, he didn’t tut and say we’ll need to knock some money off for that. Portland paid me more than the We Buy Any Car guys and with minimal fuss.
I took my V5 in today, Rob changed the ownership and put the money in my bank in literally minutes! He then gave me a lift to the
Station…I couldn’t recommend these guys enough! They do exactly what they say they will……..On a side note, if you’re looking for a great Audi Q7 they’re selling one!!
R. J.
Recently bought a Audi A5 from Portland Autos, and travelled from South Wales ! to collect the car hoping that it would be has nice as described. When I got there and viewed the car I was definitely not disappointed, the car was in immaculate condition, with my private plates already fitted ! James was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish, and I would not hesitate recommending Portland Autos.
D. S.
I’ve bought several cars over the years, but the recent purchase I made from Portland Autos was probably the easiest, most seamless experience I’ve ever had! Initially spotted the car on Autotrader, I then had a look on their website. It was presented beautifully with so many high quality pictures. I rang to enquire and spoke with Adam who was very friendly and gave me lots of information. Agreed to put down a deposit to secure it, and 24 hours later I was at Doncaster train station being collected by their driver. Arrived at the grounds (which are lovely) and the car was brought round for me. The pictures did not do it justice, it was immaculate - kudos to the vehicle prep guys! Within 10 minutes the paperwork was completed with James and I was ready to be on my way. This is how buying a car should be, superb experience all round. Also Bella the dog is the best meeter/greeter of any showroom I’ve ever been to! 🐶 Thanks again to all the team at Portland, if I ever win the lottery I’ll be back for a Lambo 😄
N. D.
A pleasure to deal with.
I purchased a stunning Volvo V60 from Portland. The cars they sell here are pretty much immaculate. I paid a fair price for the new car and got a very good part-ex on my older V60. Rob was a pleasure to deal with. I picked my car up during the ridiculous fuel panic buying! As I had to travel back to Coventry Rob kindly had the car filled up for me prior to collection. A smooth experience. Can recommend this dealer 100%
H. B.
I have purchased my last 3 cars from Adam at Portland and not once have I been disappointed! Great customer service from start to finish & nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Portland to any of my family or friends. My new car purchased was an electric car and Adam personally advised me on all charging needs and requirements. Again thank you so much for such a great service.
D. T.
Great experience from start to end. Had great advice and a top service. I had some issues having to isolate when I needed to pick the car up, but Portland Autos were really patient and held the car for me. Nothing was too much effort, and the car I purchased is excellent. Highly recommend this place if you are wanting purchase a new car...
M. T.
Brilliant dealership . Literally bought my dream car- a Porsche Panamera in an incredible spec from them.
The online advert and level of detail was very accurate which made my decision fairly straightforward .
They were very patient and understanding during the purchase process.
Customer service was impeccable , I was picked up from the station by their driver who was a really nice chap, very welcoming .
Presentation and handover of the car was also very classy . I would like to give a special thanks and shout out to Adam. I will be highly recommending friends and family when they consider buying a luxury car.
Great family business , wishing them all the best!
G. R.
Excellent service provided from start to finish. No hard sell or pressure applied, just honest, transparent and straight forwards advice. We bought a Tesla Model X. Love the car and would highly recommend Portland to buy from. Thanks again. George.
H. S. B.
Great selection of cars, very helpful and friendly.
I have bought a couple of times from here now and I’ve always had great, no pressure sales support both during and post purchase even prior to my first buy, I had viewed 3 different cars before and was always received by the same warm and friendly service. I will continue to be a customer due to the professionalism, transparency and support in particular shown by Rob and his team, who have always had my best interests.
Fantastic people, fantastic company - highly recommend.
A. C.

P. H.
I have been looking for months for an Audi Rs3 and finally found the perfect one at Portland Autos, I dealt with James over the phone and email and all questions or queries I had was answered promptly. Travelled 4 hours from South Wales and was not disappointed when I seen the car it was exactly as James had described it, condition was exceptional. Would highly recommend Portland. Very pleased with my purchase.
Thank you James for all your help
A. M.
I would like thank Adam at Portland Autos,for his professional assistance with the purchasing my new Porsche Macan, he made the whole transaction very some and easy, and the car was absolutely immaculate.
Thank you for all your help Adrian Meredith ....PS thanks for the wine...
L. R.
Picked up my R8 V10 on the weekend, the car is perfect and, a credit to all concerned, great communication from start to finish. Having had a major problem with my previous R8 purchase a few weeks ago from another dealer Portland were a pleasure to deal with, anyone looking for a quality car could not find a better place to deal with. I will be coming back when I need another car.
It was worth my 475 mile round trip.
P. C.
Got loads of great cars came for a quick look didn't have the one I wanted but was talking to one of the sales people said they could get me one no problem will be definitely coming back here
J. B.
My experience of Portland was very positive to say the least! The staff there were helpful, friendly and willing to answer any questions and help with the buying experience in every way they could. I was seen by James and as I told him, as soon as I am once again ready for a new vehicle, Portland will be my first port of call!
R. J. A.
Good service.... Good staff and excellent vehicles.... Even if you turn up in your work high viz which suggests they dont judge books by their covers!
Z. S.
Highly recommend Portland Autos, they go above and beyond thinking about little details and caring for the cars they sell. Simple things like ensuring cars you want to look are always clean and tip top - matter to some!. Not to forget great customer service received, dealt with Adam directly on this occasion to find the perfect car. The advise and guidance was genuine.
J. H.
I haven't bought a car from Portland I am not lucky enough to be able to purchase a prestigious car . I would just like to say a big Thank you to the young man from Portlands for his random act of kindness in BAWTRY petrol station he overhead me requesting which type of oil to buy for my elderly BMW . Asked me to pop the bonnet but no info there so he quickly googled what type Gave me the information . How very kind if this is the excellent service offered in Portland by the staff no-one should have any worries doing business with the company .Thank you young man proof that all youths of today are not of the same ilk x J
S. G.
I have just bought a new car from Portland Autos, a returning customer. Adam was an absolute pleasure to deal with, he organised all the documentation for us which was great.
It is evident they are a lovely family business and the most professional, fantastic, would highly recommend them.
Thank you very much, see you again.
M. S.
Absolutely top-drawer service (you’re treated like a customer, not a hindrance). Excellent communication throughout, do what they say they will and the cars are prepared well.
Rob dealt with me and was the epitome of good service - highly recommended.
M. T.
I have used James Watson and Portland autos for the sale and purchase of several cars over the past few years. The service levels are above and beyond any car dealer I’ve ever dealt with. Highly responsive , high quality cars and nothing is too much trouble. I would not go to any other dealer.
A. G.
Just Purchased a Range Rover Sport from Adam at Portland Autos, couldn’t recommend a more friendly and relaxed environment to buy a car. After not even seeing the car in person before purchase it was all it was described as and more. Was very well prepared for when I arrived and the process felt first class. Adam even had my private plate sorted for when I arrived. I could not recommend a better place to buy a car, worry free and genuine from start to finish. Would not hesitate to buy a car from here again. If your thinking about purchasing a car over a long distance without seeing it first this is the place to go you definitely won’t be disappointed.
R. T.
Sold my 2021 model Range Rover D300 to Portland dealing with Adam Watson who gave me a good offer. The car was collected by Portland and payment was in my a/c before the car left me. Adam was helpful and friendly.
G. O.
Genuinely the best car buying experience I've ever had. No BS at this place, staff are incredible and the quality of cars won't be beaten.
Special thanks to Matt for his help 🙏
M. O.
I found my car on Autotrader while at looking at another dealership. But what drawn me to Portland Autos was the video & photos. They was very clear and helped me make my decision a lot with the description. Upon me travelling up to collect the car there was no pressure seller, was a friendly atmosphere which was great. Everyone who I dealt with was very professional and would 100% recommend to anyone. Thanks to Adam for arranging everything & Clive for the welcoming hand over!
D. F.
I have just bought a Porsche Cayenne from Adam and the team. The service received was first class as usual from Portland Autos as this is the fourth vehicle I have purchased from them. I can’t praise them high enough for their welcome, attention to detail, no pressure and basically their professionalism. I have been contacted to find out if everything is okay with the car which naturally it is. Keep up the excellent work . It has been a pleasure doing business with you again.
H. S.
Cannot recommended Portland Autos enough! Simon, their friendly driver delivered my Range Rover Sport to me in London yesterday morning and I am over the moon. James was extremely helpful and even assisted me with my private number plate transfer ready for when the car was delivered. Having not actually seen the car in person until delivery, both James and Clive kept me well informed and sent me numerous photos and all the information I needed. The whole experience was stress free and their customer service is second to none. James even called me a few hours after the car had been delivered to ensure I was happy and the car was as expected. The car is immaculate and I am so so happy! If you are thinking of buying a car without any stress or worries then Portland Autos is definitely the place to go! I even had a complimentary bottle of wine waiting for me in the car! I can’t thank you guys enough - I will never buy a car anywhere else!
L. S.
Fantastic and friendly team, offering a whole host of great value luxury cars. I would not hesitate to recommend Portland Autos to anyone in the market for a new car!
T. S.
We bought our first car last year from Portland and was very happy with the service we received. They were professional yet personal and went that extra mile to deliver what we wanted. So when it came to replace our second car there was no doubt we would go back. Both times we dealt with Adam and found him helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable about what we were looking for. We picked our car up Friday and once again it was such an experience. One we have never had from another dealership. Thanks again we will be back soon.
K. C.
Just purchased our new car from Adam at Portland and cannot speak highly enough of the service and quality of cars on offer. Very professional service, I would highly recommend Portland's to anyone. Thanks for making the whole new car purchase experience a pleasure!
J. D.
Brought my 991 convertible form Portland Auto's in early April. Excellent service especially Rob who was a pleasure to deal with and helpful with advice as a fellow Porsche owner. Super car checked through my local Porsche centre as "you've got a good one there". Highly recommend Portland Auto's , good honest friendly and helpful .
G. R.
We have bought many cars over the years from many different dealers, most of which have been positive but these guys really are a breath of fresh air in this day and age. We initially contacted Adam via Auto Trader e mail and discussed the vehicle we were interested in. This was all very cordial and gave us confidence in arranging to view the car. The car was exactly as described and a test drive convinced us to purchase. The deal was done very casually with no pressure whatsoever. So to sum up - Excellent thanks! Glyn & Barbara
R. J.

Great service as always from the team at Portland Autos.
This is my second car from them over the last few years and my experience has always been exemplary.
Great cars, great service and great people. Can't recommend them highly enough.
Thanks to All.
C. M.
I recently bought my first car from Adam at Portland Autos. From my first enquiry on their website, right through the buying process and to fix a small issue afterwards. Everything was dealt with in a very friendly, relaxed and professional manner without any sales pressure. Even if you aren't quite ready to buy your next car, it's worth calling in just to see Bella the dog who meets and greets you when you arrive. I am sure I will get another car from them in the future as the quality of cars are second to none! Thanks again Chris
L. H.
Just bought a car from Portland Autos with Rob. Fantastic service, very quick and easy transaction! From initial enquiry to collection in just 3 days. Car is immaculate and pictures/videos on the website really did it justice. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you, will hopefully be back in a few years for the next one!
D. E.
Recently purchased a BMW X5 over the phone.
On collection bearing in mind I’d never seen this car before it was described in my opinion very well.
James & Adam are both polite and easy to deal with, there dad was also very friendly and helpful. Overall happy, cheers guys!
If you are considering buying a car over the phone long distance without seeing it first you’ve got no worries with these guys they are honest & straight forward you won’t be disappointed
J. K.
I have purchased my second car with Portland Autos today and I can honestly say I have never received such a fantastic service! Clive and the team are so accommodating, especially James who personally sold me my two cars. The whole process from start to finish was so quick and easy and my cars have both been top quality. Absolutely chuffed! Thank you so much!
B. B.
Just sold my Panamera (MY21) to Adam. Great guy to deal with, super organised, very fair valuation and the whole process was effortless.Special thanks to Simon who came to pick it up. If you’re considering selling a prestige car rather than p/x talk to Adam first. Highly recommend!
B. G.
I cannot speak highly enough of the people at Portland. Friendly, courteous and above all professional. I’ve bought two cars over the last 12 months and each time the service has been exceptional. Got a great trade in price on my vehicle and a fantastic deal on the replacement. I have dealt with many car dealers over the years with mixed experiences. Portland are the best by a long chalk and I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a quality car.
D. A.
This has to be the best car dealer that I have dealt with to date. Adam and his team were very easy to deal with , very polite and friendly. They arranged delivery of my speed yellow M4 as I purchased it over the phone without seeing vehicle . Car arrived yesterday and would say it’s exactly as described, love it , thanks again Portland Autos , I’m sure we will be buying from you again soon
K. M.
This is by far the best dealers I have ever bought a car from in the entire United Kingdom, Adam was absolutely honest and magnificent in the service he gave, no question I asked him was to much or silly he answered it all, and gave me comprehensive information about the car I bought and I verified it all.
I will definitely stay in touch and use them again.
They are the Model all dealers should aspire to and they shake off the myth that most dealers are not good. These guys are the best.verified 100%.
Thank you Adam, James! I am really enjoying my purchase! And love the support!
Also my sister is buying a car soon, so please expect a call, I am not going to any other dealers but you guys!
M. B.
All round excellent experience. Trade in value of the old car and price of the new car were good. I dealt with James who was very professional throughout, not pushy and gave me the time I needed / wanted on my own with the car. Overall, Portland made the process hassle free and I left knowing that I will actively seek to deal with them in the future given the quality of service received.
S. K.
I have recently purchased an Audi A4 from Portland. I dealt with Adam both over the phone and person and I found Portland to be extremely polite and courteous at all times. The car was absolutely immaculate, exactly as advertised, I placed the deposit over the phone and before inspecting the car in person. I was not disappointed. Portland are recommended and all of their cars are fantastically well prepared and I would have no problem returning as a customer in the future but in the meantime I have a very nice car to enjoy.
C. P.
If you are in the market for a prestige car, don't look any further. This is a superbly run family business with excellent service. Great choice of vehicle, all honest cars, the place is spotless and the people are very friendly and respectful. I am happy to recommend Clive and his team. We picked up our 21 year old G Class yesterday and safely took it on a 200 mile trip home without any issues.
A. J.
Absolutely amazing car dealer, the best I have interacted with. I’ve used Portland for a few years now and every time the guys are very friendly and helpful. This is a place where you’ll definitely come back to, to make business again. You will always find some brilliant cars
M. G. S. W.
Just purchased a BMW 520D M SPORT from Portland Autos. Got to say James was great, no sales pressure applied and you can understand why, the cars stocked are all immaculately presented and sell themselves. My experience was first class, both James and Clive were very helpful and the car is in great condition. A 3 month RAC warranty also included within the very reasonable price. Many thanks Martin
D. E.
Recently bought a car from Portland autos and from start to finish the service was 5 stars. I dealt with James who was upfront and honest with me from the start without any of the usual pushy sales talk you get at some other dealers. When I arrived the car was presented immaculately and exactly as described in the advert. If you want to buy a prestige car with some professional service to boot then give these guys a visit.
K. O.
My parents have just experienced Portland Service for the first time. They have just collected a beautiful Jaguar XKR from Portland and can only describe the service they have received from Clive and his brilliant team as exceptional. Nothing was left to chance and the sales process was simple and efficient. As a family we can’t recommend Portland highly enough and it will certainly be the place we go for our next cars. Portland deserves 6 Stars !!!!
M. M.
Great company to do business with and a great selection of quality cars. No pressure sales people and very relaxed atmosphere. James was great to deal with and went over and above getting me all the answers on the questions I had about the cars I was interested in and gave me a great deal on the BMW 320i GT. I will definitely be coming back for my next car.
G. S.
Purchased a Volvo XC90 from Portland Autos this weekend. The premises were fantastic with all staff being very welcoming, the car was prepared brilliantly and the help and assistance we received from James Barthorpe was second to none. He answered all our questions, took us out for a test drive, dealt with our registration transfers and generally provided us with an absolutely amazing purchasing experience. At no time did we feel pressured, and indeed the purchase was the most relaxed car purchase we’ve ever made.
Would definitely recommend Portland Autos for fantastic cars, superbly valeted so they look like new, and extremely friendly and knowledgable staff who go out of their way to help.
Thankyou James and team - we will certainly look to you first when we change our cars next time.
C. B.
I recently purchased a Range Rover from Portland Autos. The website description of the car was accurate, full service history provided and it was very well presented when we arrived to view. The Portland team were extremely knowledgeable and professional, Adam provided excellent customer care and arranged the DVLA/tax paperwork swiftly. Would definitely use them again and certainly recommend to friends!
C. H.
Absolutely cannot recommend this company enough. Each team member is very friendly and helpful, no pushy sales tactics, with extremely well presented vehicles. They offer a very personal service, and treat everyone the same. I will no longer use the brand dealership for my cars anymore - after 15 years with the same one, i'm out.
I would like to personally recommend James B, his knowledge and pleasant manner made my transaction really simple. I am over the moon with my car, and will certainly be back, thanks James.
D. F.
This is the third vehicle I have bought from Portland Autos and I can’t praise them high enough. The 911 is as described and in first class condition. I am absolutely delighted with the car, the service and attention to detail was what makes Portland such a successful business. James Barthorpe not only sold me the vehicle but delivered it personally to Inverness which was another reason I recommend Portland so highly. Thanks again yet another delighted customer.
A. R.
Well worth driving up from the south to do business with Portland. Adam was brilliant and made the whole process a breeze for a time-poor customer! Would thoroughly recommend using them and I will do again :)
J. B.
I have known Clive and James at Portland Autos for many years and bought several vehicles from them. The cars have always been great and the service from James has always been excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any new customers
C. S.
My experience of Portland Autos was different to most people who have left a review here......I sold my car to them! We met online, a risky business if we believe everything you read, but no problems here. I was put in touch with James at Portland by a reputable online car brokerage service, James put in a bid for my car and I accepted via the broker, no further bartering took place, the deal was clean simple and honest form both parties.
I did my utmost to describe and photograph the vehicle honestly meaning James was in a position of finding exactly what he expected when his driver called to collect the vehicle.
Payment was a little more complicated as I had outstanding finance with negative equity on the vehicle, James worked with me to find a mutually effective solution to get this settled in a way that suited us both.
Of course some trust came into play, but with the professional website in situ I felt I had the upper hand with the trust stakes, James had nothing to base his trust in me on, I was just a random stranger he’d met online in reality. A few phone calls and text messages later, I felt we’d both got a good feel for each other and how the deal would go.
All in all, I’ve sold my vehicle for a fair price and James is in a position to move it on, sure, I could have got a little more selling it privately, but if you’re reading this, you’ll also know you could buy a vehicle for little less if you buy privately....it’s a trust thing, we trust businesses more than private individuals.
IMHO Portland is trustworthy and good to do business with. For those cynics amongst us, I have zero reason to leave this review, other than I feel I’ve come across a decent and honest trader and think they deserve a little recognition for this.

Excellent service from Portland Autos, Adam couldn't do enough to help. Smooth and pleasant purchase (and the wine was smooth and pleasant too!!) Absolutely love our new car. :-)

I am Steve from Liverpool and bought a car from Portland Autos approxitameny six weeks ago. I placed an enquiry late evening and received a call the following morning and we run through the description of the car. The dealings were straight forward and simple, and James was very easy to deal with. I arranged to get the train down, James collected me from Doncaster station and we drove to Portland Autos. The car was exactly as described from the website. I then took the car for a test drive and agreed to buy the car without any obligation. and may I say at this point, I have never seen so many top quality cars on one site in my life. I was treated in a first class manor with no obligation to buy. As anyone can see from the website, Ferrari, Bentley etc and top quality cars. Although my car was relatively inexpensive in comparison to the above, I was treated as if I was to buy one his most expensive cars. After a couple of weeks I found a very minor fault, James arranged to have it rectified in Liverpool for my convenience and paid the invoice without any quibble. You can buy from these people with complete confidence. Thank you James. When I come to change my car, Portland will be my first port of call.

My wife and I bought our car from Portland in August 2016, we had been to various dealerships to try and get the information we needed on the car we wanted but always just got hassle from the salesmen & not the advice we needed! We were greeted by Adam at Portland & he sat us down and listened to our questions and concerns and the information he gave us was second to none! If we had not met Adam we would have made the wrong choice in vehicle but thankfully we did. We love our car and not had any issues. We can not recommend Portland enough to friends and family and we look forward to the time we are ready for our next car from Portland.

Best car buying experience. The car was exactly as described. I had travelled from S Wales for my dream car and was not disappointed. Good price for my car and a lovely gesture of a fine wine to take home for my wife. Smiled all the way home. A better experience than the Range Rover we bought days later from the local main dealer. Thank you James.

Just bought a car from Portland. Was the best buying car experience we have ever had, no hassle, friendly team, all paperwork dealt with for us, including plate transfer. Wish other car purchases in the past had been as pleasurable as this one. Many thanks James. After months of searching the ideal car!

I took my Mercedes Vito Sport X to Portland Autos to see if they were interested in purchasing it from me. It couldn’t have been easier! They offered me a great price for it, and took the vehicle there and then -paying me the money immediately! I would recommend Portland to anyone who wants to sell their car without any hassle, and receive an excellent price!
J. B.
Very pleasant experience buying my Range Rover through these guys this week. They couldn’t have been more helpful on all aspects of the deal and James went out of his way to organise the transfer of my private number plate, saving me the hassle. The bottle of boxed wine presented when I was driving out was a nice touch too. Would highly recommend Portland Autos and will definitely use again in the future.
S. M.
Are all the great reviews true? In my experience yes. I bought a nearly new BMW from James and the experience from start to finish was excellent. I bought the car unseen and paid for it before viewing.It was an expensive car so there was a risk.However the car was exactly as described and James was very responsive to my numerous requests,They did everything they said they would do and are very professional.They will not be convenient for many people ...they were not for me.But the long trip was well worth it.Highly recommended for very nice cars and excellent service

I recently purchased a Range Rover Evoque from James Barthorpe. Excellent friendly, helpful service provided. James made the sales process so easy and the day of collecting my car it was beautifully cleaned and presented. I would highly recommend to family and friends wanting to purchase a new car, all the stock is of the highest quality. Thank you to James and all the team keep up the good work.

I had a great experience buying a Porsche Macan from Portland Autos. The whole experience was very straightforward and hassle free. I was put under no pressure whatsoever to buy the car.

Bought a Land rover Vouge from Portland Autos. Top class customer service. I had contacted the business couple of time after the sale and always returned my call promptly. Strongly recommend them.
J. G.
Portland Autos are brilliant. I had been looking for a Porsche 911 for a good few years and when seeing the quality of the stock of this dealer I knew this car was all it was advertised to be. In fact it was better than I had imagined when I viewed. A lovely, well organised family business who I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from again. I hadn’t even viewed the car when I put a deposit on it. As a bare minimum you will be buying exactly what you think you’re buying, if not it will be even better and exceed your expectations when you go to collect or view it. Use these guys, they’re fab!
A. G.
Right from my initial phone enquiry to taking delivery of my car I found all the staff at Portland incredibly helpful, nothing too much trouble. The car itself is as everything I expected upon viewing and all the paperwork ready and completed quickly and efficiently. If your looking for a prestige vehicle and a service to match you can’t go wrong buying from here!
B. R.
Top place . No hard sell bought my Tesla from here .
Would definitely recommend , and the Bottle of wine after purchase was a nice touch. Thanks to all at PortlandAutos

James dealt with me on our 3rd purchase this year. Absolutely love my new Range Rover sport. Sorted everything out smoothly and quick and changed private plates over no problem. No pushy sales and left to decide which car was best for me after listening to advice. Thank you guys again. I’m sure we will be back and would definitely recommend.
A. H.

We purchased and Audi Q3 from Portland and it was a hassle free experience, we delt with James who made us feel welcome from when we arrived. We traveled a few hundred miles and the buying experience was made easy, we would definitely buy from you again in the future, we have purchased many vehicles over the years, you are at the top of your game, a big thank you.
K. S.
Great service from the guys at Portland following a recent purchase . . . Much Appreciated
G. B.
I don’t do reviews but had to make an effort for Portland Autos. 10/10 from viewing the car on Saturday to collecting on Tuesday. I won’t be changing my dream car anytime soon but will certainly come straight back to you when I do. Cheers for all your help and making it so simple
J. D.
Don't even THINK about buying that special car from anybody else. From impeccable vehicle preparation/presentation to excellent customer service these guys are the absolute best. Bought my first car from Clive over 15 years ago and just bought a second yesterday from one of his two sons. This is a true family business where customers satisfaction is everything. Thankyou Portland Autos.....
R. J.
Reading the other positive reviews for Portland Autos gave me the confidence to buy a car from them that I'd only seen on their website. It arrived to me as advertised, and in pristine condition.
Thanks Adam, great job and a pleasure dealing with you.
W. A.
Dealt with Adam who was very profiessional and kept me updated every step of the way. I purchased this car over the phone and was just blown away by it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to part ex a vehicle at competitive rates. Even after the sales process Adam was there to give me a helping hand. Great car. Great service and a great company.
T. J.
Just bought a 2017 GLE from Portland Autos, Adam was very friendly and helpful through the entire purchase, any problem occurred get resolved quickly, and when I wanted to trade in my old car they give me a higher price (although their cars’ price are a bit high in the market as well, but definitely worth it). Will visit them again in the future. Big thanks to Adam!!!
S. L.
Perfect service and communication, with immediate payment when purchasing my Range Rover. Highly recommend Adam and team

I was looking to part ex my car against something a little newer and found Portland Autos online, i enquired about a car they had in stock and about part ex allowance. Adam was very quick to respond to all my enquiries via email and telephone, a deposit was made and Adam held the car for me until i was ready to purchase (couple of weeks). During this time he had other people enquire after the vehicle and probably could have done the deal sooner but No he kept his word and the vehicle remained mine.
The level of service I received is not what I have experienced before and it was a pleasure dealing with this reputable company, a first class service received and I would not hesitate to recommend or indeed when the time comes look to dealing with them again.
A highly commendable service from Adam and the staff, thank you for my Tesla.
Regards
Mr Paul Hayhoe

a very smooth hassle free transaction. It was well worth the 6 hour round trip to get the car I wanted. Clive sorted everything out. The car I purchased was exactly as described, so I could buy with confidence. Part X'd my X6, again no hassle.Really recommend these guys. If you are travelling a distance, do stay in Bawtry, nice market town with good restaurants/bars etc.
D. C.
Portland is an amazing family run dealership with an on-site garage holding some absolute gems. Ask for Adam he’s a top fella who cut me a good deal and the all round service was most excellent - thank you! I’ll be back for that Turbo S in 5 years! :)
Highly recommend! A+
S. S.
Called at Portland to test drive a car.
Absolutely no pressure from the lads.
Test drove the Porsche and got a part exchange quote for my car. Nothing too much bother.
Thank you Portland. Would definitely buy a car from them.

Bought an RS3 with the guys at Portland Autos last year, was a fantastic experience from start to finish, no pushy salesmen and a really friendly environment. Was fantastic to deal with James, and when I'm next due a vehicle upgrade I would definitely deal with the guys at Portland again 5 star service
P. G.
Recently purchased my F-Type from Portland Autos the car is fantastic but everything about the buying experience was first class. If your looking for a prestige motor I would definitely recommend giving them a ring first.
R. F.
We have purchased 2 cars from the team at portland and the entire process was relaxed and seamless from initial inquiry to collection. The cars themselves are well priced and are rare specification. We wont be going anywhere else in the future! Thanks again

I recently bought my dream car from Portland of Bawtry, a Porsche 911 Carrera S, my wife and I drove down from Stirling in Scotland, we were blown away with the country setting of the garage and the obvious selection of beautifully prepared vehicles for sale. On arrival we were truly welcomed, firstly with Bella the dog and then by Adam who conducted all our business.
We were shown the car which had been put indoors in case of rain and then left on our own to thoroughly look over the car. Adam then gave me the keys and told me to take it for a test drive on my own (very trusting). I then decided that this was a lovely example and was the one for me.
We traveled down the following week by train to pick up the car, we were picked up from the station by Gavin who was lovely and gave us some good information and some history about the area, Adam was waiting with our morning coffee, all the paperwork and details of my cherished plate that they had fitted for me, seamless experience all round.
I would recommend Portland and the team to anyone looking for their special car and an experience of buying a car in the countryside setting, absolutely brilliant. We will definitely go back for our next car 😁
Thank you so much Adam for everything
Regards John and Anne Begg

When reading the reviews of this company it made my mind up to go and take a look at a car i was interested in. Team went over and above to make me and my partner welcome. The greeting my partner got from the family dog helped me justify my case in buying a new car!! The team were flexible and worked past their hours to accommodate me and to top it all off gave me bottle of wine on the house! Strongly recommend!
S. M.
Five star experience from start to finish. Highly recommend them to all. All at Portland were friendly, I dealt with James who was very helpful and able to answer and questions I asked. He explained everything very clearly and I cannot thank him enough. I would highly recommended using Portland autos when purchasing a car.
L. T.
Absolutely first class service throughout the entire process. James handled the purchase of my vehicle and his diligence and attention to detail was fantastic. Would highly recommend this company for anyone looking to buy or sell a vehicle.
C. H.
First class friendly professional service, no pressure selling, seamless buying process from start to finish. Honest family business in a beautiful setting with an impressive selection of quality cars which are hand picked. The best recommendation I can give is that I will have no hesitation in returning.
J. S.
Professional, relaxed environment. Quality stock, imaculatley presented. We viewed 2 cars both of which were immaculate and lined up for us on arrival. The car we chose is top quality, one owner, full dealer history and clear provenance. The 130 mile drive home was a joy, the car, so far, had not missed a beat. By the time we arrived home we already had DVLA electronic acknowledgement of the road tax, the V5C being processed and that we had traded in our old car. Overall a very pleasant, stress free experience. Definatley worth consideration. I have no affiliation whatsoever and had not previously heard of Portland, but I would use them again.
J. E.
Superb customer service from the first enquiry to the completion of the sale, very personable and would highly recommend to anyone for ease of the purchase of a new motor!
M. P.
Once again I am delighted to say we are so pleased with the X3 recently purchased from Portland, the experience of purchasing from Portland and the attention to detail from Clive and the team is superb, truly a most comforting and sincere experience, the cars are presented first class and what a selection, this is our second purchase since last year and I am already looking forward to my next ! it will be my wife's 50th birtday later this year and I will have no shortage of gift ideas from the Portland website ! Our personal thanks go to the team at Portland, well done guys, see you later in the year ! Mal & Gill
