"After many years driving 5 series BMW, I decided to look at a BMW 7 series and, with a deep breath try a Diesel!
As I started to search, St George came up and we decided to investigate, the car was just stunning 730D Very low millage and just 2 owners. The drive was sublime, It did two test drives to convince me the car was right for me, (my fault didn’t reset the seat height on first test drive, while wife had already said we are buying that one!)
Now let’s talk about John, his no pressure, take your time, makes such a difference to buying a new car. With John you feel that YOU HAVE made the decision to buy the car not the salesman.
Mind you it’s not hard to buy a car from john as the quality of the cars he sources is obvious compared to the kind of car you find if you spent any time going some of the second hand sales places around Bristol!
I have already told John that due to the annual mileage I do, and as I’m sure this car will perform perfectly, I’ll be back in two years for another 7 series. He has promised me he won’t develop a twitch about it!
Many thanks John

"We came to John looking for help "downsizing" (in terms of price) our 2nd car from a newish MX5 to something cheaper and more practical.
John assisted us in placing our MX5 with a dealer who gave us an excellent price, and then provided great patience and assistance in the search for the replacement vehicle. We left as very happy customers with a good car at a fair price. "

"After many months of contemplating on taking the plunge to get an Alfa Romeo, I finally did and I am so happy that I have purchased my first. I could not have purchased the car from anybody better than John. John has been superb all the way through the buying process, not pushy, very communicative but most of all honest. My 156 has been superb from day one and I find excuses to drive it. It really has been as John described in the original advert. The information provided online is as good as being there. There are not many traders around like John and I intend to buy from him again and again, I have also recommended a number of friends. Overall I am more than satisfied. Thank you again"

"John made buying my 159 a real pleasure, not often that can be said about a car purchase! John left us to head off for a test drive and after a very easy decision made the whole paperwork process painless. The car is in wonderful condition and exactly as all the photos made out. Useful and honest advice about the cambelt change was appreciated too and even suggested a local Alfa mechanic he dealt with near me. If you are looking for an Alfa then John is your man."

"I was ready to drive to a dealer to purchase a Jag XJ that I had previously test driven, when I came across this website. Although not really considering an S Type, this one looked so good in the photos I decided to pop over to see before going on to my original car, just to compare.
Suffice to say, the car was presented immaculately (as were the other cars in the drive that I noticed) and John was so helpful, that I bought it there and then after a test drive, and John delivered it later that day.
2 months on and still as pleased "

"I had always wanted to buy an Alfa Romeo, but had previously been put off by the negative perception of Alfa in terms of their reliability. The St George website struck me as being very honest in terms of the number of pictures available per vehicle suggesting that John does not have anything to hide. John was also very knowledgeable about the car, providing useful advice and reassurance.
There was regular communication in the build-up to the purchase of my brilliant 156 and even post-sale when I re-approached John with a query. The car was even better than described and a part exchange for my old vehicle was arranged with no fuss. I would definitely recommend going back to St George and if you haven’t yet bought an Alfa, you should take the plunge!

"I recently visited johns website looking at a citroen c2 vts, it was very well described and had lots of great pictures so you could see the exact condition of the car. I did a bit of research and realised that I would be buying the car from johns home adress, ill be honest now, this worried me a little as I've always bought cars from dealerships. Anyway, used the text service to ask some questions and received brilliant communication from John straight away and he answered all of my questions, so I booked a test drive and ended up buying the car which was in great condition and spotlessly clean! My worries about buying from a home adress completely vanished when I met John, a really nice guy, and he puts you at ease, and to be perfectly honest, buying from John was the best experience I've ever had of buying and part exing a car, so when it's time for a new 1, st George will definately be the first place I look! Could not recommend John enough! And as for the car, it's great! Plenty if power, great condition, just what I was after! Thanks John and st George!"

"Approx 2 weeks ago i bought my first Alfa from St.George, and the service was first class. John came across very well, no airs and graces, and the 159 i bought, i am more than pleased.No hesitation in recommending St George if anyone out there fancies an Alfa Romeo."

"After many weeks of looking i finally found my dream Alfa GT here at St George alfa. John is a very friendly honest guy who will sort you out a very nice well looked after car and will be going back to him again for any more future Alfa Romeos purchases. Thank you for all your help John."

"Have just purchased a very nice condition Alfa 159 from John at St George Alfas. He was recommended to me by the mechanic who has always serviced my old 147, and when he told me that he did a lot of the servicing of vehicles for St George, I decided to try them out for my new car. After meeting and talking to John I knew then that I had made the right choice. He managed to talk my wife out of buying a Brera (phew, thanks John!) and introduced us to the fantastic condition 159 that now graces my drive. Not only was John very knowledgeable, he was a pleasure to to business with. When my son has finished borrowing my old 147, guess where I'm going?!!"

"John secured us an excellent Honda Jazz, he really cared that it was the right example for us and worked hard to find us a good one. Definitely recommend John and his services!"
Simon Holman

"Just purchased a Mini Cooper D. It was immaculate as John had suggested, this being particularly important given the fact we completed a 220 Mile round trip to view it. John is very honest and cares a great deal about the quality of the cars he sells and customer care which was extremely refreshing. This car will be well loved for years to come and we thank you for your help John."

David Taylor

"Did 320 mile round trip to view and buy Mito veloce. Car was absolutely as described, mint, low mileage,best price/spec in the country, one owner.Very nice man to do business with.John definitely has Alfa DNA in his veins."

"JUST BROUGHT ALFA 159 YESTERDAY AND TRADED IN OUR 166. JUST CAN'T PRAISE THEM ENOUGH ON HOW WE WERE TREATED. NEW CAR IS PERFECT FOR US. DIDN'T FEEL PRESSURED INTO BUYING, LEFT TO TEST DRIVE ON OUR OWN SO FELT THAT WE COULD DRIVE IT WITHOUT FEELING PRESSURED. WE WILL DEFINITELY GO AND SEE JOHN AGAIN FOR ANY FUTURE CARS WE WILL BUY. THANKS FOR ALL YOU HELP JOHN. "

"Had my Alfa GT for a week now after trading in my 147. What can I say? It's lovely! Perfect to drive and gets lots of admiring looks. Will definitely be getting my next one from John at St. George, but not for a while yet. "
Richard Carpenter
|
"To back up my earlier testimonial, I have gone back to John over questions about the car and more importantly how does he get his cars so damn clean including wind screens. Answers, advice and detailed suggestion straight back, which was an important reason for buying from John and not been left on ones own there after. A result all round."
Tim Lynch
|
"After searching the web for a Jaguar S-Type for several weeks, I had a pretty good idea what I was looking for. I came across John's website and found just what I was looking for. I knew immediately that this was an honest concern and my thoughts were confirmed with a visit and a test drive. Five minutes with the car made up my mind. As others have said, you are safe with this company and John is a pleasure to deal with. I am delighted with the car, I would sleep in it if it was practical! When my runaround finally expires, I will be back! Thanks John. "
Chris Martin

"John was brilliant with the purchase of an Alfa GT. He was easy going, honest, up front and just excellent all round to deal with. I drove back and took some scenic routes and the car was spot on at every turn. When I need a replacement or, if I manage to convince the wife that she needs an Alfa, I will most definitely make contact with John before I look anywhere else. Thanks John."

"Finding a car on the internet, at someones home, unknown, was a concern. How wrong was I, totally. It was so easy to buy and John was great in every respect. The back up support is great and it was for this reason I bought my first Alfa Spider. John just put me at ease, no pressure sale, no gimmicks, no after sale costs, just someone keen on cars and wants who ever buys from him to be 100% happy, which I am. Not that anything will go wrong but not being a petrol head, it is good to know I can go back to discuss any issue and John will help in every respect. So if you are looking to buy from St George then do so with total confidence. You will not be disappointed."
Tim Lynch

"Bought an Alfa 159, 6 years old and in immaculate condition and prepared to the highest standards. Very easy to deal with and appear to sell only the highest quality cars. Found the car on Autotrader and went to the website which showed a fantastic array of photo's so I knew exactly what to expect when I arrived. Very pleased all round. I buy and sell cars quite frequently and have to say this was one of the best all round purchases I have done. Full credit for the service offered and I am quite happy to say buy with absolute confidence."
Stuart Saunders

"I can’t thank St George enough for my stunning little Mito. The customer service I received was spot on, friendly, relaxed and welcoming. John is very knowledgeable on his Alfa's and was able to answer any questions I had. As others have said before me, this was by far the easiest car purchase I’ve made the accurate description and abundance of photos on the website were a huge help. The Mito is an absolute peach! Having not owned a Diesel before I’m finding the torquey pull rather addictive and D mode is brilliant fun, turns the car into a naughty little beast! The car is also averaging around 57mpg on my daily commute which is ideal. Overall I would highly recommend St George would certainty buy from them again. I would also recommend a cheeky Mito!"
Mia Puzey

"Bought a Citroen C5 Tourer, in excellent condition, after viewing on autotrader. Followed link to St George's website which is very helpful, plenty of detailed photos and info about the vehicles. Found them friendly and helpful when I arranged an appointment and test drive. Very happy with the car, thank you Craig."
J Billington

"I bought my first Alfa - a GT - from St Georges nearly a year ago. It was thoroughly checked by a local specialist before I bought it, the process was very easy. The car is still in great condition and I will buy from St George again."

"Delightful red and White mini cooper! Fabulous condition! Excellent customer service. Couldn't be more pleased with our purchase! Thankyou! "

"Paula's fabulous BMW Mini Cooper Diesel 1.6 which we found to be in excellent condition throughout and very accurately described. Paula is loving every drive in the car (big grins at the thumping torque through the gears, and the B3234 road from Lynton to Lynmouth in North Devon was an absolute hoot!) Our thanks to John, Craig and Sarah for making it a completely stress-free purchase. I would strongly recommend St George Alfa to any car purchaser for their complete attention to detail at every stage of the transaction and their unbeatable friendly, willing and genuinely helpful way of doing business. Thanks guys! We will definitely be back when/if the trusty 406 Estate needs replacing! Andy Kybert"
ANDY KYBERT

"Without doubt the most stress free car purchase I have ever made. The Brera matched the description on the website and is truly the best I’ve seen. I would recommend St George Alfa without hesitation. Attention to detail, preparation, presentation, pricing and customer service put Alfa main dealerships to shame. If you’re an Alfa enthusiast, this is the place to go. Thanks to John, Craig and Sarah; I’ll be back when it’s time to change."

"A follow-up to my earlier testimonial: I have had my Alfa for about four months and it drives beautifully with no problems. I recently had it serviced and checked by an Alfa specialist who found no issues. "
D Dixon

"I just bought a 2.0FSI VW Golf from St George and I have to say I would recommend them to anyone. Their website and attention to detail alone speaks volumes, I was really impressed with the detail that went into the description, I knew everything about the car before I even viewed it.
I spoke to John late on a Saturday night and he was more than helpful and willing to let me come view the car on Sunday.
The car just as described, better infact and I went away a very happy customer.
These guys are honest and genuine and do not over price their stock, I will not hesitate to use St George again when the time comes to buy again."
Joe Daniels

"Just brought an MX5 from St George, and all I can say is their customer service is fantastic. Its very rare to find such a high level of customer care in the world of car sales. I would recommend these guys in a heart beat. The car is great and even though I hope not to have to go back to them with any problems, but I am sure if I have too, I will get the same high level of service. Thank you"
Mathew Binks

"I bought my first Alfa from St George and now my son has too. We had both been looking for 6 months for that perfect specimen and it was no surprise that John Craig would eventually come up with a real gem. So my son handed over 4k of his hard earnt money and now has a stunning 147. And I have the piece of mind that he bought it from these guys. And my reputation as an 'all knowing dad' remains intact."
Simon Sayce

"Bought a 159 about 1 month ago, it has been faultless so far. Very easy going transaction (inc part-ex) with Craig, I am very pleased indeed."
Greg Pugh

"I bought a GT JTS from St George about three weeks ago. It was well-presented and I am very happy with it. Doing business with Craig and John was easy and stress-free: no pressure, evasion or nonsense. The cars I looked at all seemed to have a dealer service history and were in very good condition. I would recommend buying from St George. I would also recommend an Alfa- it's a treat to drive!"

"I recently looked in every garage in South Wales looking for an estate car. Every garage was the same, from hard sell on cars you don’t want to the same boring cars in every garage.
I looked on the internet and found an Alfa 159 JTDm Lusso Sportwagon, so I thought I’d take a look.
I visited John and fell in love with the car. There was no hard sell, just straightforward advice.
Don’t be put off by the fact St George Alfa is a small Alfa specialist and isn’t a large garage. I’m sure you’ll find like me and many others, that the cars, service and advice you’ll get from them is far superior to any other garage.
I can safely say that I’ll be buying another Alfa and that will be from St George. Guys, it was a pleasure. Oh, and the car is truly stunning.
June 2011"

Mark Westcott

"Buying a car from Craig was an experience I never thought I'd ever get. There's absolutely no pressure or silly "second hand car sales talk", just honest answers to questions. The car description on the site was 100% accurate. The car itself is superb and I would recommend St George to anyone. Service and cars are second to none. Thanks "

"I've recently bought a 3.2 v6 GT from Craig and John. I'd been looking for one of these for near 5 months until I saw the GT advertised from St George. Due to circumstances, I never managed to view the car before buying. However, the information and masses of pictures on the car helped sway my decision to buy it.
Unfortunately, I/we, were waiting on the V5 to come through for the original plates: through no fault of John or Craig. Credit due, as they kept me informed of what was going on throughout the process.
When I went down to collect the car, Craig was very welcoming and easy to deal with. On viewing the car, I found it was just like it was depicted on the website; in fantastic condition, and was thrilled to have waited for this car to come along.
Despite being stuck in 'crawling' motorway traffic all the way back, in 20C heat, I couldn't have imagined being being sat, so relaxed, anywhere else. Having driven it almost a week, I can report that it drives like a dreama and the engine, the V6, there was really no need to fit a radio when you've got that soundtrack!
Wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again, or recommend to anyone else. Thanks guys."

"bought my first ever Alfa Romeo from Craig a week ago. A 147 ts ti,love the car and got a good deal.would`nt hesitate in buying my next Alfa from them."
John Carroll

"I recently purchased an Alfa 147 TI from John and Craig, I have to say I am more than happy with it.
John was very helpful from the start and was always available by E-mail. John was not only prompt to reply but always accurate and knowledgeable as well.
When I went to collect the car it was clearly in great condition as suggested in all the photos on this site.
John and Craig were very welcoming and very professional, allowing me to take the car for a test drive alone if I wanted (no hard sale) but always ready to answer questions and give advice.
I would definitely buy from St George again and if it is an Alfa you want there can't be many places better to buy one. A Great selection of the very best Alfas with a friendly and professional service. Recommended."
Glen Marshall

"It wasn't an Alfa, but we bought an '07 Mondeo 2.5 Turbo Ghia from John and Craig. They were very pleasant to deal with and sorted a couple of minor issues, apparent via a service, before we took delivery. Subsequently the car also developed a fault in the ECU/display unit. Fair play to them, they arranged for the removal, repair, and replacement of the unit - all we had to do was get the car to/from their chosen garage - with no quibbles. So thus far no complaints and we can report that they are good chaps, which is something in this day and age!"
Ivan Rogers

"I've just returned home with my 156 Sportwagon purchased from St George. What a pleasure it has been to deal with John and Craig. The car is beautifully prepared and presented, even better than it appeared on this excellent website. I thought that another sportwagon of the right quality would be difficult to obtain, but I've got all I could have asked for. Thanks John and Craig, I'll be back."
Kevin Spilman

"I bought my very first Alfa, a 159 Sportwagen Lusso, from St George a week ago. I only went up there to have a closer look, but the immaculate condition of the car (as the photos suggested), combined with John's true love for the cars he sold, made put down a deposit straight away! I've been very happy with the car since and would thoroughly recommend anyone who wants an Alfa to visit St George first."
Kobus Engelbrecht

"I recently bought a 147 TI from John and the team at St George. I have to say that the car has lived up to my expectations completely. The car was thoroughly prepared and serviced before I picked it up. It was a pleasure to deal with someone who obviously cares so much about the product they sell. All in all, a very positive experience and I will certainly be checking the web site for my next potential Alfa!!
Thanks again,
David"
David Webb

"Just bought not one but two cars from John and the team and the service I was given was second to none. I was treated courteously throughout, there was no hard sell and it is a relief to find a dealer who is passionate and knowledgeable about his cars. The deals were done very smoothly and nothing was too much trouble, be it sorting out any snags to arranging delivery.
I will definitely buy from John again and would urge anyone else to do the same.
Joel"
Joel Pergande

"Fantastic service.
I purchased my car pretty much just from the website pictures and speaking to John on the phone.
Which was good as I had to travel from Manchester to see the car.
Also gave me a great trade in price against my Alfa 156.
All round a great experience, and will be the first place I look when I next want a car.
Anthony"

"What a great outfit at St George Alfa. Recently bought a Lusso 156 from John in mint condition. Photos on the website were immaculate so was the car. Very pleased with the performance, little hiccup with a brake pad indicator but as John suspected it was a sensor not working properly and was put right in seconds with no fuss from him whatsoever. FAB firm FAB cars what more can I say."
richard Grattidge

"Many thanks to John and his colleagues at St. George Alfa. I'm very pleased with the 159 saloon I recently bought from him. The car was well presented and the level of detail on his excellent website puts most of the main dealers to shame. I appreciated John's flexibility over viewing and collection times which made the process of buying a used car far easier than previous experiences. I would buy again from St. George and happily recommend them to other buyers too."
Martyn Bentley

"I'd been watching this site for a while and had a short list of vehicles I was interested in; however the demise of my 156 due to cam belt failure - my having ignored the recommended interval for change - failed at 132,000 miles (exactly 72,000 miles since previous change) prompted me to book up a test drive of an 05 156 2.0 JTS. On arrival I saw that the web pictures were indeed a true reflection of the car's excellent condition - it was as per description! As I knew the area John gave me the keys and let me test drive it with none of the fuss and paperwork you get from the usual garage. I was impressed and we shook hands on it within 30 mins of meeting. The car was prepped as agreed and ready for collection - on a Saturday - as was convenient for us. A subsequent technical failure (coil pack)was sorted quickly, no quibble, professional efficiency with the personal touch. I do love Alfas and once you try and appreciate their unique charm I'm sure you will too. I would anticipate being back to John at St George in 4 years time when it's time to change - excellent all round service! A+++++"

"We recently purchased a 159 from St George Alfa Romeo. Like everyone who visits St George, I had already decided that a Alfa (159) was the car I wanted so the viewing was simply to ensure that condition of the car was how it was descibed on the website...and I wasn't dissappointed!! The car was excellent, the price was reasonable and the knowledge shown by John was second to none. I was happy and confident with my purchase and the after sales was spot on too, which is always an indication of how good a company real is....thanks very much John."
Darren Griffiths

"Having bought a GT from John and team a few weeks back I felt it only appropriate to pass on my thanks to all at St. George for making the process as hassle-free as possible.
The car is a pleasure to drive and was presented in A1 fashion.
I'll be back!"
Mark Edwards

"Recently bought a 147 from St George. I can concur with all the other testimonials that the website descriptions are absolutely precise!
After much searching for my Alfa I only wish that I'd known about St George from the beginning!
Excellent car, excellent service... thanks :)"
Ian Chapman

"We purchased a 3.2 drop nose spider from St George on 1st July 2010, and can wholeheartedly recommend them if you are looking for something very special.
John and his team made the whole experience a pleasure from start to finish,and yes we did buy before the car had been photographed and placed on the website thanks to numerous e-mails and a very accurate telephone description.
The only problem when you arrive is that you may be tempted by more than one car!
The ten hour round trip was well worth it,and will be done again in the future!
If you want to buy an Alfa,what are you waiting for?"

"I would just like to say thank you for providing a great car and with a no pressure sales approach, making the normal dread of changing cars a real pleasure.
I arranged an appointment to view and test drive on Saturday, sat down and worked out a part exchange deal which is better than having lots of tyre kickers turning up at your home, and the vehicle was taxed and ready for collection Monday.
The car put’s a smile on my face and anyone unsure of a change to an Alfa like I was should contact these guys’s they really do know what their talking about and only source top end vehicles.
"
Geoff Capel
|
"St George provide an excellent service. From initial test drive right through to after sales. They are always available by phone and do anything to help and are understanding. My rear light actually got smashed the night before it was part exchanged and St George honoured the sale and let me pay for a replacement which they sorted themselves.
This is not to mention the car which was in great condition, has been prepared well and they have spent a fair bit of money getting her back up to scratch with a high quality wheel refurb and repair of key marks on the doors.
I would recommend St George to friends and family.
Cheers!"

"I recently purchased a 147 from John and team. I have no hesitation in recommending this place. Friendly, efficient, honest, I could go on and on. They really exceed expectations. It was refreshing doing business in this type of environment and my trepidation over buying a new car soon disappeared. I'm new to alfa but am a complete convert and will buy from John again. He was always available pre and post purchase for advice etc. I had a minor problem with the car, after purchase, and it was sorted immediately the same day. For anyone considering buying locally, they also recommend a mechanic. I've now used his services and he too is 1st class."
Roz Pieczora

"Absolutely thrilled with my drop nose GTV from John, I hadn’t seen it until I arrived to pick it up and it surpassed my expectations in all departments. I called John on the way home and asked him if he knew if anyone had invented an ‘in-drive-refueling-system’ so I wouldn’t have to stop driving it. Thoroughly impressed with John’s professionalism and attention to detail; I have no hesitation in recommending St George to others and I certainly hope to come back with a few more pennies for a Brera. But for now, back in the seat of the GTV!
"
Trevor Pirie

"Just part exchanged my 147 for a Diesel GT - thoroughly enjoyed the drive back from Yate to Hove - a great motorway cruiser and apparently a real head turner in Gabbiano Blue. St George are a refreshingly good company to deal with - you cannot go wrong with the detailed photos of the vehicles and the fair part ex prices they offer. Bought from them before and no doubt will get tempted by something else on their website in the near future. No hesitation in recommending St George and their cars."

"Just purchased an 02 156 veloce in nero black with full red leather interior. Stunning combination! The Guys at St George know their Alfa's and offer great service and advice. Highly recommended and would certainly use them again!"
Ashley Browne

"Just bought a 147 JTD Lusso (Apr 10) and the car is excellent. The pictures and description on the website were very accurate which prevented a wasted journey. I would highly recommend St George both from the quality of cars and the after sales support. Thanks to the mechanic who diagnosed what turned out to be a very minor problem when my local non Alfa garage got it completely wrong. "
Paul Randerson

"John has made the seemingly impossible possible...he has made the hassle and stress of buying a car completely disappear. His service is second to none. I have just bought an absolutely beautiful GT from ST George. The car was everything that the web site described and more. If you're looking for a very desirable and well presented Alfa Romeo I would highly recommend that you pay St. George Alfa Romeo a visit. "
Jeff Rees

"Just bought a GT jtd from StGeorge,s, after viewing various GT,s at other dealers i was a bit dubious at travelling 170miles to view 2 that they had in stock! i need,nt have worried,both were as described,good part ex pricereally friendly helpful service(and a lovely cuppa)long drive home was trouble free. would highly recommend anyone looking for an alfa to give them a call! Thanks again."

"Recently bought a 156 2.5 V6 Sportwagon from St George. I couldn't be more pleased with the car and with every aspect of the friendly, helpful and honest service. Highly recommended. "
Chris Rasmussen

"As a writer for CAR magazine and AutoExpress I knew that the most important accessory on any Alfa Romeo is 'the dealer'. Alfa's are a little bit quirky and a wee bit individual so you need a dealer that is also a little bit different. My Sportswagon is stunning, St George had sourced a beautiful example.
But best of all, whilst the car is quirky, sulky, bubbly, gorgeous, sexy, and annoying at times (Alfa's don't like snow), any automotive tantrums were handled by John and his team. My next car will also be an Alfa and I would not dream of buying it anywhere else. In fact I just wouldn't risk it."
Simon Sayce

"Bought a stunning 53 plate GTV from St Georges last Friday.
Travelled from Lytham to pick up the car and am delighted to say that the car looked even better in the flesh than in the many photos provided on the website.
Prior to making my decision to buy I utilised the live online support which I found really useful, and all my queries were handled with patience and good humour!
StGeorges back up their great website with great customer care.
Will definitely look at StGeorges again when I look to replace my GTV.
All the best,
Colin"

"Recently bought a Fiat Coupe from John and travelled from N.Ireland to do so on the strength of the description and the photos. Was a little apprehensive about this but I needn't have worried. Car was exactly as described in the advert, as for John himself I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to other potential customers, had a small problem re. paperwork (partly my own fault) but this was resolved by one phone call. Will certainly look at his stock list and consider trading with him again when the time comes to change.
Thanks again from a satisified customer.
Regards Fred."

"We recently bought a beautiful 2.0 JTS dropnose spider from John and his team. We found the honest photographs of the car helpful but even more helpful was the information gained from John via e-mail. As we were traveling from the North East we needed an honest assessment of the car which we received and were not disapointed when we collected it. It was a nice experience dealing with John and we would have no hesitation in recommending their service to anyone in the future."

"Just bought a 156 2.4 jtd Sportwagon from John and Co...
They're great people to deal with who love their Alfa's and it shows with the quality and selection they have in stock.
To top it all off they make a cracking cup of coffee which is especially welcome after a long trip to view a car!
Anyone looking for an Alfa can check St Georges out with confidence!

"I was looking for a very specific Alfa Romeo and was delighted when I came across one so wonderfully presented on St. George's website.
Speaking to John via e-mail and then by phone, he was honest and straightforward finding me a great offer on my part exchange.
John struck me as a guy I could trust. Coupled with the presentation and detailed photos of the car on the website, I felt confident enough to place a deposit down on the car having never seen it.
The next day I arrived to collect. Craig and John were friendly and above all patient, letting me take my time and guiding me through filling in all the paperwork. Most importantly, the car was exactly as described.
It was an absolute pleasure dealing with St. George and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend their service to anyone in future."

"Too all those who are thinking of buying into Alfa ownership. I can whole heartly recommend you give John, Craig or Sarah a call. Here are folk who are dedicated to the Alfa's they sell. I changed from a Fiat Punto into a lovely late model 156. From the intial meeting on a cold Saturday afternoon to picking up my car on even colder friday morning. The Service we recieved has been first class. Going above and beyond to help sort out an issue when I had transfer my private plate onto my new alfa. Many thanks guys. "

"Until Saturday I was an Alfa Virgin, and the 156 I bought from St George has left a big wide smile on my face! I can only reiterate the other comments; John and his team have been a pure delight to deal with and the service they have provided - from initial enquiry, sending me the service details, test drive, to picking up the vehicle - has been exceptionally professional; they could not have been more helpful. I travelled 200 miles to see my 156 and would not hesitate in doing so again next time. St George makes for a refereshing change from franchised dealers and are truly worthy of the praise bestowed upon them."

"I had decided I wanted to buy an Alfa 147 and after a visit to autotrader I found my on St George's website... I dropped John an email and had a very quick and honest response... He took my Clio in part-ex and we arranged all the figures via email which was great as I live 60 miles away!... I also asked to have some custom alloys fitted that I bought third party and they were happy to have them delivered directly to them and were fitted ready for collection!
It has been a pleasure to deal St George and I would recommend anyone who doesn't want to fall into the trap of dealing with a large (impersonal) garage, that they drop John a line... He made the whole transaction a pleasure!"
Steven Hicks

"I've just traded up my cherished Alfa 145 for a shiny new 156 due to new baby needing more space. It was a real breath of fresh air dealing with Craig and John. They genuinely know and love their cars and are a pleasure to deal with. I'll be looking to them again when I next upgrade in years to come. Cheers guys."
Stuart McDonald

"I travelled 400 miles from Scotland to view one of Johns cars. It was a particularly rare model and I had my doubts as over the phone descriptions are rarely 100% accurate. Car turned out to be probably one of the best examples in the UK for the asking price and I know because I had looked for long enough. It was immaculately presented and the pictures didn`t do it justice. I dealt with Craig who was great with no sales pressure or pitch.
I very rarely buy cars from anyone in the motor trade but in the case of St George the only advice I can give is believe the testimonials and have faith in the quality of their cars.

"I recently purchased an Alfa Romeo GTV from John a superb car, it was a pleasure dealing with John who is a rarity in the car trade a Gentleman and so helpful he deserves all the plaudits he receives."
Brian Kilvington

"Its very rare that you find a person like John in the car business. All his cars were in excellent condition and my husband and I had a hard choice picking the car we wanted. John was very helpful and nothing was to much trouble, eventually we picked the car we wanted and are very pleased with it. I would recommend going to John if you are after a saab in excellent condition."
TRACY GRIFFIN

"Found both John and Craig extremely helpful and honest to deal with. Struck a deal onlne based on part exchanging my Alfa Spider.I was very impressed with the rapid response to all e-mails and phone messages from John, even though he was away in Spain at the time! The photos on the website really portrayed the cleanliness and condition of the 147 I have purchased. Very satisfied with both the car and customer service. Would recommend to others and will."
Ed Briggs

"It is rare to find such a genuine and honest motor dealer in the trade. John has an eye for detail, he is meticulous and has a good selection of quality vehicles at reasonable prices. We recently purchased the amazing Alfa Romeo GTV Cup with only 46,000 miles on the clock. It is perfect in every detail; taught yet supple, really clean inside and out, with full service history and traceability. It shows that John hand picked it from the very small number of these cars that were made. It is exactly how I would like a second hand car to be, showroom quality, barely run-in and excellent value. John and Sarah are delightful couple and St George certainly is a shark free zone! They understand the concept of value and certainly we would recommend them to any other prospective purchaser of an Alfa Romeo or Saab."

"I bought my 147 from John and Sarah a few weeks ago and they made the whole sale process so easy. From viewing the car to driving it away took just a couple of days.

Ali Prockter

"I exchanged my Alfa GTV against a 166 and I am extremely pleased with the result. Was heartbreaking to see my other car go but the deal was straight forward and apart from a few niggles which I was quickly able to resolve I am very happy. John was very forthcoming and cannot be more applauded for his excellent webpage which is spot on. You get what you see. Thanks."

"I'd just like to say, if you're looking to buy a car off St George you can be assured of the highest quality. Unfortunately, my Girlfriend and I never had the privilege of meeting John the proprietor face to face, only over the phone, although his associate Craig was more then helpful. The Alfa 156 we purchased was in showroom condition. The description on the website is spot on in every detail. Many thanks John; I look forward to doing business with you in the future. "

"I'm now the proud owner of a gorgeous GTV 3.0 V6. All thanks to John. Friendly and efficient sale - and a full tank of petrol. The advert description was extremely accurate. No BS. I've already made recommendation St George to friends - its surprising how many folk want an Alfa GTV once they see one up close ;-)
John coped most admirably with the barrage of questions I fired at him well after after the deal was done. (even when he was about to board a plane for his holidays!). Top Notch."

"John / Mike
Many thanks. As you know I travelled from Thurso to collect the car and feel that every mile was worth. Fabulous car, good price and a truly exceptional service, with Mike making time to meet me out of regular hours when I collected the car.
I have never bought a car so quickly, or been so pleased - which pretty much sums up my first experience with St George.
Kind regards and many thanks,
Chris"
