"Would we recommend them? Indeed we would. "
Both Phil Parker and Jason Winstanley of Southport Mazda were very helpful. No immediate sales pitch on arrival like some garages, as they both allowed us to wander round without interruption whilst viewing the cars on display. It was only when we showed an interest in a particular model that Phil approached us to answer our questions. Again no hard sales pitch. Jason was our contact on our second visit, again no hard sales pitch, which does put one at ease. After all our questions were answered professionally and courteously, we discussed the deals on offer and arrived at what we considered a fair price and, without any fuss, ordered a new car for September delivery. Today we returned, chatted to them both, then confirmed the car colour and even purchased an extra. Would we recommend them? Indeed we would. Thank You. Keith M. B.
"Top notch team, well done to all at DH who were involved, you know I will be back!"
I have to say they did it again! Congratulations guys, always happy to travel as no local garage can provide the level of service I receive each time I visit. Everything was made easy from the test drive to my special moment picking up the car. Thank you to Iain for always exceeding my expectations, finding me a quality car at the right price and always maintaining the attention to details that are so important. Top notch team, well done to all at DH who were involved, you know I will be back!
"Fantastic. Efficient. Friendly, Professional "
fantastic. efficient. friendly.professional David Hayton Penrith: Couldn't be happier with my new purchase. The car was absolutely perfect. professionally cleaned before my arrival and looking like it just rolled off the factory floor. I came from Ireland and ahead of my trip the salesman Mark, sent me all the requested information including a personalised video walkthrough of the car, as well as the service history which allowed me to perform my own additional checks. mark was absolutely fantastic. nothing was problem. he was available to take all my queries over the phone before arrival. once I arrived I was in and out within 30 minutes and headed to the ferry. very fast turnaround. I will be recommending David Hayton in penrith to anyone of my friends who buy a car in UK. 5 start service.
" I would certainly recommend them."
I was very impressed. I went to a Citroen main dealer in Blackpool. They seemed totally disinterested in understanding my requirements and didn't seem to want to sell me a vehicle. At David Haytons They were very welcoming, helpful but not pushy and very professional and efficient. I would certainly recommend them.
"An asset to your business"
Just dropping you a line to say thanks to Stephen Copland for the service he provided when I bought my Alfa 159 from you last week. He was courteous, knowledgeable and in my opinion an asset to your business. I would have no hesitation in recommending your business to others if all of your salespersons deal with their customers like Stephen did with me. Thanks again for the great service.
" Based on my experience I thoroughly recommended them"
Buying a car from a dealer, especially one that is too far is too far to view, is normally something i would not recommend and my past experience with some dealers has born this out. But, based on instinct I decided to take a chance with David Hayton Lotus, I'm happy to report my overall experience with them was exemplary from the start until the 300 mile plus final delivery. The walk round video, great communication and general amenability on the part of Iain and Jonny inspired me to feel that they were trustworthy, honest and professional enough for me to part with a large sum of money without actually physically viewing what was an older car or having it inspected. Happily I have no regrets. it's nice that there are people out there like that in such a cut throat industry. Based on my experience I thoroughly recommended them.
"Excellent service, we highly recommend."
Purchased a nice car with help from a gent called Mark, who was helpful and friendly, and gave us time to discuss our needs without ever being pushy. Excellent service, we highly recommend.
"A great place to buy a car"
All of the staff are very friendly and efficient especially Ian who was excellent and took great care to see we were well looked after.
"Update...Have so far bought three cars from this dealer (daughter,wife & myself) "
Friendly dealer, with great 'no bull' service....Recently bought a car for my daughter from them, and have now returned to buy one for the wife! And I will no doubt return again at some point! Thank you!. Update...Have so far bought three cars from this dealer (daughter,wife & myself) & always get great service, and travel over 65 miles even for servicing....so that should tell you something!

"Absolutely brilliant!!"
We purchased a car from david Hayton Morecambe and we are extremely pleased with the customer service and the way everything was explained to us! Outstanding by far and highly recommend.
"The buying experience was one of the best "
Fantastic experience from first contact through to driving away in new car. Exceptional customer service was provided by Jamie. I had to rely on his honest, accurate information as not local, but it soon became clear car was just what I was looking for. The buying experience was one of the best I've had and together with the car, exceeded all expectations. 10/10 for Jamie and David Hayton Limited.
"Phil was very helpful and professional"
Phil was very helpful and professional, he wasn't pushy in any way. Delivery was on time as Phil predicted and the car was as should be expected, undamaged, brand new and ready to drive away. No last minute hitches.Yes I would recommend Phil and Southport Mazda.
"A pleasant friendly salesman with no hard sell"
Purchasing my car could not have been any easier, a pleasant friendly salesman with no hard sell. He wanted to sell the car but he also wanted me to have the car. Yes I would recommend this car dealer.
"Efficient and very speedy communication. "
Couldn't have been simpler to order car. Efficient and very speedy communication. They've even promised to lend me a courtesy car to bridge the few days gap between returning my lease car and my new motor arriving. So far so good!
"I literally cannot fault a thing."
I literally cannot fault a thing. Everyone who I dealt with was both helpful and professional. This was the first time I've bought a new car, and I cannot believe how quick the process was. I would 100% recommend Southport Peugeot!
"It's the first time in a while where it was a positive experience and will be dealing with them in the future"
Found the staff at this dealership very friendly and efficient no high pressure salesman which was a relief after several other bad experiences with other main dealerships. Jason who looked after us very helpful and knowledgeable. Test drives 2, organised with very little fuss and the deal secured amicably and quickly. It's the first time in a while where it was a positive experience and will be dealing with them in the future
"Brilliant service"
Thank you for the Brilliant service.
