Purchased a used car after seeing advert on line. Dealt with Tom Bolan who honestly described cars condition and gave me confidence to purchase unseen. Tom Bolan dealt with all queries in a timely manner and the handover went very smoothly. Very pleased with the car and the professional way the sale was conducted from first e mail query to collection. No hesitation in recommending the John Banks Group and in particular Tom Bolan if you are looking for a new or second hand car

The whole experience has been made very simple and easy from the start. Mylane is a wonderful lady who has been supportive but not pushy in any way. Nothing has been too much and she has been very attentive to make sure all is good. New car collected today, I really can't ask for anything more. Thank you.

Recently I purchased a second hand car from John Banks Honda Ipswich, the salesman was Rhys Measor who clearly explained all the fixtures and features of the car. On purchase all the necessary paperwork was carried out by Rhys including the transfer and fitting of my personal number plates. Quite simply he made the sales experience smooth and it was a pleasure dealing with him. Rhys is a credit to the company

John bank’s Cambridge could not have been more supportive and understanding. I visited with a second hand car only purchased in February with a list of issues. They took great care on assessing this car and then spent time to explain what their findings were. I had been having some difficulty with the second hand dealership and Ian and Darren both spent time going through what my options were. All of this was above and beyond what they needed to do. The outcome was I part exchanged my car for a new Tucson hybrid. I am absolutely thrilled with the car and the package it came with. I have had several calls and emails to ensure I am getting on with the vehicle. Amazing service department and sales team. Thank you both Darren and Ian for your support.

We popped into John Banks Renault just to have a chat about our Captur and how much it was worth. We came out having sold it and bought a new Captur Hybrid. Katie Cambridge was fabulous from start to finish with a little help from her colleagues. We were interested in a specific version and were taken over to the compound to look at 'our' car and that was that. We handed our car over and collected our new one all within two weeks. The whole process could not have been easier. Thank you one and all.

Darren Martin at John Banks provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision about the car I wanted. There was no pressure put on me or expectation, I was given time and space to check my options and I am really happy with the car I purchased. It was all straightforward, transparent and stress-free.

Full marks to John Banks Cambridge for their excellent service! They were quick to book in a vehicle health check/service appointment at short notice during peak holiday time. The assessment was detailed and the whole process was completely transparent with only most needed parts recommended for replacement. Took only 2-3 hours for the helath check and front/rear break pads replacement. Will definitely be my go to place for all services in future.

When I arrived at Honda Ipswich, Kymberley greeted us with warm welcome and dealt with our request speedily. She was efficient and knows all about the cars. Two days later she called us to arrange to pick up the car. I arrived by train from London and was picked up by Kymberley at the station and few minutes later I was on my way back to London in my own car. Very good service and I will certainly recommend this company to anyone.

We recently purchased a HR-V from Steve at the Bury St Edmunds branch. Steve was extremely helpful, not pushy at all and got us a very good deal on our new car. We'll definitely be back the next time we're looking for a new car.

Absolutely and utterly so frustrated with how this company are dealing with our complaint. Basically not getting back to me when they say they will, and now ignoring me. So disappointing, and very unprofessional to treat customers this way.

John Banks in Cambridge could do a lot better. Few days ago I asked about new tyres and support team assured me the relevant team will get in touch soon. Guess what: they never did. Not great John Banks Group, not great.

I ordered a new Dacia Duster during May 2022, I was advised of a delay, but I was kept updated by John Banks sales rep, even though delivery was longer than I had wished I'm very pleased with the car, paperwork was dealt with efficiently, so yes very happy

Katie Cambridge made the whole process of trading in my old car and buying the Renault Captur (2020 model) very straightforward. She was pleasant to deal with and helpful throughout.

We took ownership of our Jazz CrossStar on the 23rd of March after waiting only a week what a result.Kimberly Cant listened and advised in every aspect of the sale she left us to our test drive and allowed us to take the car home to try into our garage, nothing was to much trouble the sale went without a hitch will certainly deal with John Banks again.Everyone was very professional we were acknowledged as soon as we walked through the door so thank you. On a lighter note the coffee machine makes a delicious hot chocolate. Thank you again Kimberly .
