Customer reviews of Dorset 4x4

By Stuart M on 18 October 2019 | Verified purchase

This is the second car we have purchased from Dorset 4x4. We purchased an 8 year old Discovery from Dorset 4x4 last year which we have been delighted with. The warranty provided was in excess of what a Land Rover main dealer offered us. This proved useful when a door lock failed, it was replaced swiftly under warranty at our local garage. Our Ford Focus which we purchased as a second car has proved to be another great car! We will definitely be back again!

Hi Stuart, I was delighted to deliver the car up to you in Manchester last week. Thank you for taking the time to write another review for me based on you past and present experiences. And thank you especially for the kind words and the delicious tea and cake! I had a very good run home in your part exchange. And I look forward to discussing cars with you in the future. kind regards Nick .

I have dealt with Dorset 4x4 a number of times and will continue to do so. They are a really friendly and helpful company . Nothing is too much trouble. Throughout my purchase I have asked them no end of seemingly obscure questions about car specifications and history of services, maintenance etc before purchasing and their knowledge of 4x4s is second to none. I would (and do) highly recommend them for anyone looking for a 4x4 wanting an honest and helpful approach from a dealer.

Hi Dan, It's always a pleasure to discuss cars with you. It is a potential minefield when purchasing a second hand car. I was delighted to also help you recently with your purchase of the Range Rover Vogue SE - a fantastic and clever choice with the external pack and 22s. While this Range Rover was not one we had in stock ourselves, helping you find the right car for you was a pleasure. Do keep in touch as I will obviously be very keen to purchase your car when you come to change it in a couple of years time. Speak soon. kind regards Nick .

I bought my Landrover Discovery 4 from Dorset 4x4, they made the whole experience enjoyable and hassle free, right through from initial enquiry to driving it away. The car was exactly as described and has proved to be a great purchase. One of the most refreshing things about the service offered by Dorset 4x4, was once I had bought the car they were very happy to resolve any teething problems I had, and later when it was clearly no longer their issue they were happy to provide advice and point me in right direction because of the wealth of Landrover knowledge they had built up as well useful contacts. I also was very impressed with the 5* warranty that was provided which covered a raft of things including the electrics, which offered real piece of mind. I have no issues recommending Dorset 4x4 and have done on many occasion - a real family business

Hi Jon - it was good to bump into you recently and thank you for the very kind review on the long term ownership of your Discovery. The challenge now after 140,000 miles is which one to get next! Hopefully I can offer some useful advice even if you end up buying one from somewhere else. Kind regards Nick

Bought this car for my Dad. Nick couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating. Will definitely be back!

Hi Henry - I was delighted to be able to help out with your urgent need for a car when yours broke down. Even through this was one of our old part exchanges, it still comes with the same warranty as the last one you had. Kind regards Nick Kind regards Nick

Dorset 4x4 were extremely helpful throughout the buying process. We'd been looking for a Defender for a while and Nick's experience and depth of knowledge really helped us make the right choice. Thank you so much again!

Thank you for the kind words Mel and welcome to the exciting world of Land Rover Defender ownership! I look forward to seeing you out on the Local Green Lane! Kr Nick

Very helpful and a great experience all round. I'm very happy with my new vehicle.

Reply from Dorset 4x4 on 26/09/19

Hi Stephen, Thank you for the kind review. Your Discovery 4 Landmark was one of the last ever made and I think it was a fantastic purchase considering the £80,000 price tag for a similarly specified new Defender that is less practical! And good luck with the Tesler - what a great combination of cars! Please do let me have an opportunity to purchase the Landmark back in a few years. kind regards Nick

Definetely had the luck of finding an excellent dealer who promptly answered all matters and was very helpful from start to finish making a potentially stressful experience very pleasant . They delivered the car in immaculate condition . I would highly recommend their service .

Hi Stephen, Thank you for the very kind review - and the introduction to Simon. I very much enjoyed working with you on the arrangements for the delivery and can see why you have such a successful business. I will look at my Swiss Army Knife very differently now! It's great to hear you loved the Jag as much as I did. Hopefully we can link up agin in the future. kind regards Nick

From the moment I called in to Nick's home to look at a potential purchase, I realised that I had stumbled upon a fellow JLR vehicle enthusiast. Nick's working knowledge of the brand (Given that his background isn't within the motor trade) & his overwhelming passion for the products that he sells, is self evident the moment that you arrive at his home & see this fantastic fleet of Land Rovers before your eyes, each one being shown a generous amount of TLC to make sure that they leave to go to their new owner, in as excellent a condition as is possible. For my part, I can't thank Nick enough for taking care of all the extra few jobs on my LR 4 HSE Lux, which wasn't even on his website, such is the volume & turnaround of the high quality vehicles that he is able to source. Frankly, if you're looking for a Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE I can't think of a better place to start your search than with Dorset 4x4, as you'll be hard pressed to find a better presented vehicle anywhere in the UK!

Wow! Thank you Ian! I was delighted to do the extra bits for you and tailor the HSE Luxury to your needs. It's the experience I try to achieve every time and I'm very proud to have received a review like this. Any questions do give me a call. See you in a couple of years or so! All the best. Nick

Very knowledgeable, patient and understanding. Communications were excellent and any minor issues were resolved quickly and without question. Would defiantly recommend Dorset 4X4 as a place to purchase a vehicle.

Reply from Dorset 4x4 on 04/09/19

Thank you Joanne, It was great to be able to test drive both the Range Rover and Discovery with you in order to find the right car for you and your needs. The tricky bit now will be what car will you move into next! The combination of the luxury drive and the practicality of the boot space is difficult to beat. Cheers Nick
