Couldn't recommend enough!Ocea Dunn
Brought a car from Matt over the weekend and not a bad thing to say. Lovely guy, really genuine and clearly had your best interest in mind. Everything was done really quickly and he kept me up to date consistently. The car looked brand new and also drives like it. Also got a bottle of Prosecco with it which was a nice touch!
If I could give a 10âï¸ review I would.Anonymous
Steve was incredibly helpful to me when I returned a faulty car to another garage (nothing to do with elliotjarvis). Steve was so knowledgeable and kind he gave me advice and let me borrow their courtesy car to tide me over through a very difficult time. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new car to approach this business. If you are looking for a genuine trustworthy dealership they are the ones to approach.
I can not thank them enough 😊âï¸âï¸
Above and beyond !!Gill Ross
We purchased this lovely car Spring 2023 from Elliott Jarvis cars and another a couple of months later. Sadly the nissan had its whole wing mirror taken off by a lorry coming off the IOW Ferry. We asked Matt for help and he and Steve arranged for us to get a new one fitted by their guy. They even let me have a courtesy car for the.morning. These guys are simply the best! Helpful trustworthy and friendly. We would not buy anywhere else.

Second purchase from them within six months and entirely satisfied.....Carla Kirkham
We bought a car from Elliott Jarvis back in June 2023 and were so thoroughly impressed that we did not hesitate to go back again when looking for a second car. We popped in on the Wednesday and by Friday I drove out completely happy with my car, and more than satisfied. Steve and Matt really do go above and beyond to help you with your needs, not theirs. There is no pressure, just a pleasant experience. They helped me with putting my private plate on retention and other bits I needed. If you are thinking of buying a car, don't hesitate to use Elliott Jarvis.
Excellent serviceNigel Doble
Ever need a non pressure place to buy a car then this is a place to come to, spend all your time looking and take for a test drive, will answer any questions you may have, the service during selling and after sells is 100% definitely will come back when planning my next car
Needed a family carDaniel Clowes
We have recently purchased a family car from Elliot Jarvis cars. Steve greeted us with a warm welcome (tea and coffee) and was very professional. He answered all of our questions and worked around us when picking up our new motor. We will definitely recommend them to anyone in the market for a new vehicle.
Great serviceAndrew Daniel
Very easy to deal with from start to finish. Would definitely recommend them.
Testimonial :This is my second car purchased through Matt & Steve. As a family we would never buy from anywhere else. They go above and beyond every time, giving honest advice and making sure you're happy with every step of the way. I have never had peace of mind with cars until we found Elliott Jarvis. It's such a relief that you know the guys are there through the sale and afterwards. If you want to buy with no stress or worry, choose here! Thank you both!Lucy Robbins
Very positive experience. Matt was very approachable and answered all our questions promptly, even late into the evening. The car was presented in excellent condition and no pressure to buy was made. Sales package was very comprehensive and carried out without any faff!!Jon Bird
Great company,Louise
Popped in late in the day and Stephen was brilliant, nothing was too much trouble considering it being later in the day, looked at a few cars, took a couple for test drive.
Found a car I liked and had it within a couple days.
Very happy customer and would highly recommend using Elliot Jarvis Cars
Great service, highly recommendedTom Walker
From first Contact Matt was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. He went out of his way to allow me to test drive in my busy schedule. His knowledge of the vehicle was extensive, enabling him to make sure every base was covered. A level of service superior to most main dealers. I would definitely use him again. Thank you.

Wouldn't go anywhere else!Nikola Wright
After having a recent bad experience buying a car privately, I decided to go to a dealer this time and spent a lot of time looking for the right car, I eventually found the car I wanted and it was at Elliot Jarvis. After reading the many great reviews on Trustpilot and Google I got in touch with them to enquire about the car I wanted, Matt and Steve have been SO helpful sorting things out for me, so friendly, not at all pushy, they aren't like car salesmen trying to talk you into things, they don't ask for deposits to reserve a car, they genuinely want to help and can't do enough for you :)The whole process of finding the car, sorting the finance and taking the car away was smooth and easy. Their cars come with a clean MOT, service and 12 months warranty which really gives peace of mind. I absolutely love my new car, if you're thinking about going with these guys I would 100% recommend them and have been recommending them to friends and family! I'm hoping my car will last me many years but when the time does come to get a new one I would definitely return to Elliot Jarvis as I have total faith in them and I consider them the best place to buy a used car :)
Super service!Lucy Sodain
Amazing service! Polite, professional, friendly and really put me at ease buying my first car. The service hasn't stopped once I've purchased either! I've had a couple of questions since buying my Meriva, and both Matt and Steve have been really helpful and not made me feel silly asking questions.Really happy with my car too. Its been brilliant for a first buy. Thank you :)

Outstanding customer serviceMelvin Ward
The service was excellent, they made me feel at ease straight away. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They straight away asked if I wanted to take the car for a test drive and allowed me to go out an check the car out. Before I collected the car it was fully MOT'd with no outstanding defects and fully serviced. As standard they gave me a 12 month warranty with the car. Just after getting the car the A/C had a problem, they booked it in straight away with a specialist and was fully rectified. I would certainly recommend these dealers and would purchase another car from them.
Trustworthy good quality used carsGill Ross
Excellent friendly helpful service. Nothing too much trouble. Answered my onslaught of questions. Second car we have purchased in the last couple of months. Above all trustworthy.
From start to finish Matt was superb, quick to answer questions, probably the most helpful car salesman I’ve ever come across (and in my 50’s that’s a few!). Couldn’t do enough to help, and gave valuable honest advice on the sale of my own car as well. No pushy sales pitch from these guys just honest reliable info, a pleasure to deal with and will definitely use again even though I’m 100 miles away. Thanks for all your help guys really appreciate it.Steve Grant
Excellent service. A fault developed a couple of weeks after purchasing. Steve was very helpful and got it all sorted, even gave me a hire car whilst the fault was being fixed. Would definitely buy from Elliott Jarvis Cars again.Jenkin
Exceptional service.Shirley Manley
Having read the reviews for this dealership I thought of the saying "if something seems too good to be true it probably is". I decided to see for myself and was pleased to find that it was not the case. We initially dealt with Steve who was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He gave us all the information we needed allowing us to make an informed decision without at any time being pushy. Steve went out of his way to facilitate our purchase and nothing was too much trouble.. I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from this dealership at some time in the future and would highly recommend them.
Excellent, professional, patient and friendly service. Very pleased with our car. Would highly recommend Elliot Jarvis Cars to anyone.Tim Russell
Uniquely great service and customer focus. Heartily recommended.Chris Kelly
Fantastic customer service.My wife and I visited to see a Citroen they offered through Autotrader and Matt and Steve were great. No pressure, relaxed and friendly, Matt gave us a reasonable trade in price on our old car and we arranged a finance deal and extended warranty on the spot. The car was newly listed and still awaiting a few little minor jobs as part of the pre-sales service, so we collected the car a couple of days later. Within the week we had a couple of issues with the car - none of which could have been predicted by EJ Cars - and contacted them to discuss the problems.. Matt and Steve could not have been more helpful, they immediately arranged for us to drop the car back at a convenient time, and when their standard courtesy car was too small for our family needs they even put a replacement car on the road for us to keep us going. I collected our own car back this morning, all work done. Steve and Matt went far above the usually levels of customer service I have had from car salesroom people in the past - and I get the impression that this is simply their normal standard of service. Buying a car is rarely a small purchase, so it's refreshing to know that there are some car sales professionals who take their reputation and the comfort and peace of mind of their customers seriously. We were kept informed at every step, and these guys did everything in their power to make sure we were sorted out and back on the road as soon as possible. I'm definitely of the opinion that how people deal with issues is more important than pretending little problems never happen at all. On that basis, these gents are great. I would very much recommend buying a car from these two guys. (The complementary bottle of bubbly did nothing to influence this review, but was tasty.)

Really helpful and trustworthy… we received fab service. Thank you so muchKaren Kittle
Can not even begin to describe how amazing it was to come across a garage that was as honest and helpful and elliot jarvis were. Matt was brilliant and couldn't do enough to help. After buying a wreck earlier in the year my confidence in people being honest about cars had gone through the floor. Matt completely understood how i felt about buying another second hand car but answered every question i had and went the extra mile just to help me (and my newborn son)! after a few months of driving my car I can honestly say I will not be going anywhere else to buy cars from now on. Thank you so much Matt for restoring not just my faith in people but making me enjoy driving again!Lucy Hill
Good experienceHeath Read
Just bought a car from Steve at Elliott Jarvis. It couldn’t have been a more pleasant experience. Thanks for a great car, VW Golf.
The team was really warm and welcoming and helped us out as much as they could, and got us in the car as quickly as possible.highly recommended.David Lockwood
Best dealer in the UKJohn Mulcahey
Absolute legends here, professional, caring, friendly. Super enthusiastic about their cars and you as a person.
Matt especially makes you feel like you've known him years - that I bought a car from them felt like a side note.
Gail Edwards
Excellent and Trustworthy
Steve and Matt gave us exemplary service when we chose to buy a car we had seen on Auto trader.
From an initial test drive through to completing the necessary paperwork, nothing was too much trouble.
Steve was always available for any queries and made the whole process pleasurable.
Thanks Steve and Matt
These guys are incredible. They really do go the extra mile. Their afterservice is incredible as well. I broke down, called them to ask for advice as an AA call out would have taken hours, they came out, bought a battery, fitted it and then advised me to go to the garage as my alternator also needed replacing. That was covered by the dealer 12 month warranty which was paid immediately. I advise anyone to use these guys. Good old fashioned honesty, friendliness and professionalism. They're thoroughly decent people as well. Oh, they make great coffee as well.Stuart Marran
ThankyouLinda Elphick
My daughter purchased a car from Elliott&Jarvis a couple of weeks ago. I was so impressed by the customer service they had given her rarely seen these days. My car had seen its last days. So my daughter mentioned to Steve I was looking for something, He phoned asking what I was looking for. Within a couple of days I was back on the road. Both Steve and Matt.are two lovely, honest, genuine, guys you could ever wish to meet. No sales pitch or pressure. They made me feel like a valued customer.The whole process from start to finish was outstanding.I would highly recommend Elliott & Jarvis. Thanks looking after me.
excellent serviceWayne Oliver
Friendly, helpful, honest.. A total pleasure to deal with. I'd recommend Elliott Jarvis to anyone looking for a vehicle..
Amazing serviceJulie Mcderment
Great car dealers, with real family feel. Genuine and honest, no hard sell, this is especially important to me as a novice car buyer. The whole process was quick and simple and was able to pick up my car within a few days. Would highly recommend Elliot Jarvis cars if your looking for a second hand car.
A professional and helpful garageDavid & Gail Edwards
On looking for a new car, we found what we wanted through auto trader.
This took us to Elliott Jarvis.
We could not have found a more helpful and accommodating garage and Steve has been brilliant.
Thanks
Dave and Gail
BEST CAR SELL'S GARAGE EVERMichele Elphick
Garages all have a stigma that they rip you off....where did that come from? I don't know but we (mum and I) have been 'ripped off through the years'. Totally no trust in any garage.
I entered Elliot Jarvis with my mum nervous that the same was about to happen, Matt approached us and I just felt like we are OK....we aren't going to get ripped off.
Steve then gave my keys over with a big red ribbon on my car and a very lovely bottle of Prosecco. The changing of documents process was made too easy.
The service I have received is absolutely outstanding and these guys are amazing. Their years of experience doesn't go unnoticed at all. They literally know how to sell a car the right way but also how cars work and who is the right customer for a car. Also they sell lovely trust worthy cars.
There is very cute and lovable dogs sometimes in house which hanging out with feels like therapy. There is sweets, coffee etc for any buyer.
Now the aftercare.....I am under warranty so any fault these guys will fix and also I am getting a little valet.
My mum's car has just broke and she has no hesitation to put her trust on Steve and Matt.
Thank you both soo much 🥰
Fantastic customer serviceNathan Jones
I bought a VW Passat from Elliott Jarvis and it couldn't have been easier. I spoke on the phone with Matt on the Saturday and arranged to meet the following day to view the car. He made time out of his Sunday with his family to come and help me. There was no sales pitch, no pressure to buy, he just answered any questions I had about the car openly and honestly. I was made to feel like a valued customer by his fantastic service and drove away very happy safe in the knowledge I'd bought a great car from a great dealership. Only positives from here and would highly recommend their services to anyone
Just bought a Nissan Serena from these guys. Steve is a really lovely genuine guy who made the whole process simple. We got the car the next day and were treated to a bottle of fizz. Amazing customer service and happy with the 1 years warranty! Would defo buy from here again! ThankyouSophie Barkes
Would highly recommend Elliot Jarvis cars. Such lovely genuine, honest and just nice people. Was looking to upgrade my car and Steve made the whole process easy. If your looking for a trustworthy second hand car dealer these are your guys. Thank you, really love my new car.Julie McDerment
Great customer service and friendly staff. Felt well looked afterAnon
Honesty and helpful service! Something rarely seen in the used vehicle trade. From my very first enquiry about the used SAAB they advertised, they were helpful, friendly, more than honest about the car and were so patient with the many questions I had about her. If I could give more than five stars, I happily would! The car was fully serviced before our 256 mile drive home and the car never missed a beat. They even sent a txt that evening to ask if we had got home safely...how many businesses would do that nowadays?? I couldn't recommend this company enough! In this day and age the service was astounding...fantastic guys and so helpful..as I was waiting, they taxed the car online to save me doing it(at my cost, obviously)and also transferred ownership direct with DVLA. Thank you, lads, wonderful experience and wish you both all the best for your future!ðŸ‘ðŸ‘😀😀😀😀Wayne Oliver
5 star response!Amber
After reading all the reviews online about Elliot Jarvis and a good selection of cars that fit my requirements, I visited their garage to test drive some cars.
The customer service was fab. They were not pushy at all, very informative and made my mum and I feel very reassured we were in the right hands.
After test driving, they didn’t push for a decision that day and said to let them know when I had come to a decision.
Before collecting the car, anything they had spotted that needs fixing or correcting was completed before collection as promised.
Collecting the car was smooth, they reassured us that as with any vehicle, random problems can present themselves at any time, but in this instance they are a phone call away and will correct any issues. I left very happy with my new car.
Later that evening, I did have a slight hiccup with the car. Steve was on the end of the phone on a Friday night to provide advice and the issue was resolved by the following day. I cannot fault their fast response to this issue and how they managed it. Steve was extremely helpful and has checked in to ensure all is still going okay with the car. I feel very reassured that if I do encounter any issues or problems, I can reach them and know it will be resolved.
I’m very happy with my car and I know Ralph(my dog) loves it too
Super amazing!!!!Sally B
Very friendly, knowledgeable, experienced lovely men. Felt like we had known them for years! Nothing was to much trouble and Steve and Matt listened to what we wanted and needed.

Great car buying experience. No sales pressure, Steve was very helps & friendly which made for a very smooth and easy car buying experience ðŸ˜Simon Alford
I would not hesitate in recommending Elliott Jarvis for a second hand car. Matt & Steve were friendly yet professional. They sorted out a few snags with our new car in a friendly & courteous manner. I love my new fiat 500. Thanks guys 🙂Louise & Gary
Buying my new car from an excellent businessC
We are very happy with our new car. The two lads who run it are very polite, helpful, and run an exceedingly good service. They are not just nice to get a sale, they went out of their way for us.
Great serviceIain McRoberts
Very friendly, very helpful, not pushy just honest and great service. Would definitely recommend. I contacted Ellliott Jarvis to enquire about a car on Autotrader. They were open and honest and invited me down to have a look. Once i arrived the car was ready for me to view and take for a drive. I asked several questions and all information i requested was available. The guys at the showroom were friendly and welcoming, and was not at all pushy for a 'deal' or a deposit. Once i had left and subsequently decided to buy the vehicle, i let them know and they went over and above by opening up on a Sunday so i could collect the car as they knew i needed it ASAP. Customer service was great, car is great (so far) and i would definitely recommend and use again!
Excellent ServiceChris Morton
These guys could not have been any more helpful. Professional and friendly service, and I'm really happy with my new car!
They are obviously passionate about what they do, and it really shows in the service they give to their customers. Steve even offered me a lift to come and collect my new car! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Outstanding customer serviceLaura
Absolutely worth 5 stars just due to the customer service alone. I enquired about the car the Saturday and by Wednesday it was on my driveway. Felt at ease from the moment I walked through the door right through until I left in my new car. I would highly recommend Elliot Jarvis and when the time comes to get another car I will be straight back to these guys
Purchased from here and have been extremely happy with the exceptional service this is obviously an extremely professional business nothing to much trouble happily recommend to friends and family well done guys 5 star serviceDarren Perry
