From beginning to end

From beginning to end, the experience was outstanding. I received a customized video tour of the car, and when I mentioned I needed it quickly, they went above and beyond to have it ready in just a few days. The car arrived with a fresh service and MOT, looking pristine. They even provided transportation to and from my home after the viewing. I highly recommend them and would definitely return. Five stars!

They've only gone and done it again

They've only gone and done it again. After having 2 cars off these beauts already I had to take mother down to have a browse. Matt was a star. Showed her a few cars within her preferences and in less than 10 mins she'd picked the one for her. They sorted everything out for her and she was able to drive away a couple days later with a nice polish new mot and service. To say she's happy is an understatement. These guys just go above and beyond every time. Thanks again both.

If 6 stars were possible, I’d give them 6!

I recently purchased a Mercedes B-Class from Elliot Jarvis and as a self confessed motoring idiot, I can honestly say that Steve and Matt could not do enough for me.
Firstly, the car is pristine and has all the vital documentation. I received the car with a full 12 months MOT and 12 months warrenty. The guys are so professional and knowledgeable and they clearly take great pride in their business.
After the sale was complete, they gave me the keys and also handed me a bottle of Prosecco and thanked me for choosing to purchase from them. Then when I went out to the car, they had decorated it with a big red bow! These personal touches made me feel like a valued customer and once again showed me how much pride these two have in their wonderful family run business.
Upon driving away, Steve said to me, “if there’s anything you need just phone me or come back to us and we’ll help” and boy have I taken advantage of that kind offer!
It turns out, trying to drive a Mercedes when you probably shouldn’t even have a driving licence is no walk in the park!
The first time I returned, I was desperately trying to figure out why the car was booping at me. I knew it wasn’t a fault noise but I couldn’t figure out what it was trying to tell me.
Steve (who I imagine is quite a busy man) drove around in circles with me for around 45 minutes to help me identify the booping. Turns out the car was warning me of danger areas near by which there are many of in Plymouth. We switched it off and I drove away with my sanity in tact.
The next time I returned was for the windscreen washer spay things. They were working on the rear windscreen but not on the front. Steve said to bring the car down and he’d have a look. As it happens, they were in full working condition but I wasn’t not pressing the button in far enough to activate the screen wash pumps. Off I went again, feeling daft but with another problem solved.
Why would I write this in my review and embarrass myself you ask? Well, because time is more valuable to me than anything and these two can’t give you enough of theirs. They have been so helpful and patient with me where other dealers iv used just simply don’t care after a sale. Steve said to me “the only stupid question is the one you don’t ask” so if they’ve judged me (which they absolutely should) they’ve done it silently and made me feel like no problem is too small for them to help with.
In a nutshell, a fantastic purchase, fantastic service and wonderful people! Thanks guys!

Hi Kim, thank you so much for your really lovely review. People like you are the reason we love our job. Sometimes running your own business is hard with many ups and downs, when reading such a kind (and funny) review really makes those tough days easier to swallow. You know we are always hear for any other questions or if you have 10 minutes to spare for a coffee and a chat about the NFL we would love to hear from you. Thanks again Steve and Matt

Great service!

Not one to change my car often, but the service, advice and ease of buying a car from Elliott Jarvis Cars, made a potentially stressful purchase easy and enjoyable. Not only did they give up a Sunday to allow me to test drive and look around their cars, there was no pressure sell, they were honest, no time pressures and even made me a cuppa! Great communication throughout, and happy to work around my timings to pick the vehicle up. A lovely touch with the ribbon, bottle of bubbles and the support in getting the car sorted, taxed and on the road. Would highly recommend and makes the pleasure of buying your next car a pleasure. Thank you!

Disappointing Resolution to Paintwork Problem

I purchased a car from Elliot Javis Cars in May 2024 for £5,000. By March 2025, visible lacquer peel appeared, and both myself and the dealer acknowledged the car had been repainted before sale. An independent inspection confirmed poor paint preparation.

The dealer offered £100, which doesn’t come close to the cost of repair. The car is now worth under £1,000. The resolution has been disappointing.

Hi Theo
As discussed with you we can only apologise for the feeling you have towards this matter.
Like we explain to all of our customers we carry out a HPI check to ensure that the cars we supply have never had any major accident damage.
However they are second hand cars and we can not guarantee that they have not had any paintwork within its lifetime.
We will always try and help where we can hence offering goodwill after such a long time after purchase and a paintwork issue presenting itself.
Again we are sorry that you feel this is not a satisfactory outcome for you.
Matt & Steve
