It was a smooth and friendly manner throughout the dealing by Steve and Liam. This made our meeting relaxed with the clarity of explanation of transaction for car trading and finance.

When we arrived a couple of days ago, we were searching for an electric car to replace our diesel engine.
Steve was wonderful and great help, he showed us a variety of cars and showed us the Renault Zoe that we have now purchased.
He was very indepth and showed us around the car and all its controls perfectly. We felt very secure in this purchase.
If we ever need another car or are in the market, we will definitely be coming back to EMC Vauxhall.

Adam at Uckfield was fantastic, really helpful and made the whole process of buying my second hand car easy. Wasn’t pushy at all and found the perfect car for me, thank you.

I had an excellent experience with Ben at EMC. From start to finish, Ben was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process. He took the time to answer every question, explained everything clearly, and made buying a car completely stress-free. There was never any pressure — just honest advice and outstanding customer service.
Ben went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the purchase, and his communication was excellent the entire time. I would highly recommend both Ben and EMC to anyone looking for a smooth and trustworthy car buying experience. Five-star service all around.

Kienan was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful when I went to enquire about getting a car through Motability. Everything was easy to go through and I was fortunate enough to be able to pick my car up within a week. I've been using EMC for a number of years now and would definitely recommend using them to get a car.

Great experience in buying our car. Kienan was super helpful in getting things sorted for us. Would certainly go back again.

Alec greeted us warmly and answered all our questions regarding which car would suit our needs best. He was very knowledgeable about each car and the specifications. It was so each to order the car. Alex was so friendly and helpful. We would definitely recommend BYD Uckfield and Alex and the team. Amazing service.

Had an appointment booked with Ben, whilst waiting for Ben, another salesman Phil came over and helped and was extremely helpful! Would recommend going in and seeing them!

An 86 year old friend bought a 2020 Suzuki Ignis (10000 miles) from EMC in February last year. It came with 12 month warranty and breakdown cover. The car did break down in January. My friend called the given number but couldn’t get through. He called EMC three times; they told him to keep trying. At no time did they check if his problem was solved. Of course nothing happened so he had no alternative but to call a local garage. The car was recovered and a badly worn clutch replaced for £800. He had driven the car for just 1000 miles. I contacted EMC and there was no apology for not supporting him properly when he couldn’t contact Suzuki breakdown and no surprise that they’d sold a car with a clutch which lasted such a limited time.
Their strap line is ‘assuring you of our best intentions at all times’ which seems ironic to me. If EMC is prepared to sell cars to older customers then they really should take better care of them.

My Vauxhall hybrid car, under manufacturer's warranty, developed an intermittent fault. When I took it to EMC Uckfield, they could not find anything wrong with it and charged me £140 for diagnostics. Two days later, the warning lights returned and have been on for a week, and another two days later, the electric motor stopped working.
I have now got to take it to another Vauxhall dealer (who only charges £85 for diagnostics).
Plus staff were rude.

Having purchased cars before from this dealership in the past I was confident that I should again. In May I purchased my 2019 Suzuki swift with approx 30000 one owner from new. Lovely looking car. Was informed that any clutch issues had been resolved when I initially inquired. After a while I noticed that at higher revs and speed on open road that the engine was over running / clutch slipping. I hadn't noticed before as just been driving local roads. Eventually when it was pointed out to me that there may be a issue with clutch I contacted EMC around Nov. Booked in for inspection, at a fee. Was informed, Worse case cenario approx £1400 for a new clutch as may not be covered under warranty as wear and tear and surprisingly told previous owners driving habbits may be a contribution .At this point I'd only done 4000 miles. I therefore decided to get a very well established and respected independent assessment, and repair quote. £600 for new clutch. However on further inspection turns the gear box had leaking oil into clutch housing for some time. hence the issues that I had been experiencing.Total cost including labour for new clutch AND gearbox repair £1005. Lessons learnt. In future however reputable a company may be,I won't trust anything I'm told about a car and have it independently checked before driving it of the forecourt.

Ben was really helpful with finding me my car. He made it really easy and wasn’t pushy. Amazing handover and the car is immaculate, would highly recommend.

I recently purchased a second hand Astra from EMC under the Spoticar system and was hugely impressed with the professionalism shown by the sales executive who helped me.
I had travelled down from the Midlands and was a little short on time but he still managed to expedite the sale. So I was able to see, and test drive the car that day and was able to drive it away the following day after an MOT and a Valet!
Everything was explained properly and the paperwork completed appropriately in that time.
This was quality service, for which I am most grateful

We purchased a car from Eastbourne Motoring Centre and I have to say, the whole experience was seamless and an absolute pleasure. We were looked after by Kienan and he was just brilliant, from start to finish he really looked after us and his knowledge was amazing, he found us the right car at the right price and was just lovely to deal with! You are lucky to have such an amazing salesperson and if he ever wants a job, we would take him in a heartbeat! Thanks for everything.
