A fantastic experience having waited so long to find the right car.

Having looked for a change of car for a couple of months with no success it was by chance my partner suggested I should go to Pat Lavery’s at Horden. I had a look on line straight away and picked out a blue Mocca. I rang Pat to check if the car was still available which it was. As soon as I looked at the car I thought yes that’s mine. Deposit was agreed with Pat and the car was mine the following day. Pat has a fantastic set up and a true business gentleman too. I would and will recommend to friends and colleagues Pat Lavery at Horden if they are looking to change or buy a car.

Probably the best around.

I have purchased my last three cars from here. As always the service is top notch. Tony is helpful and patient, answers questions fully and along with his team, delivers an excellent service. No doubt will buy my next car from them also.

Faultless service.

I’m a returning customer to this garage. Good range of used vehicles, competitive prices and stock seems well managed and maintained. Salesman was friendly, helpful and took his time to explain everything, answering questions about the car and the sales process. Not pushy, no hard sell and I was given time to both browse, and consider the options. Buying process was quick, thorough and very efficient. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this garage to anyone who wants to buy a quality used car.

Continued good service from the Team at Pat Lavery Cars!

We've been using Pat Lavery Cars for a number of years to service our small fleet of cars. They always go over and above to help, often fitting us in even when they do not really have space! We have always found them genuine with their advice and guidance. We have bought 2 cars from them this yeah and do not envisage going anywhere else for service, repairs or purchase. Highly recommended.

Excellent example of brilliantnt customer service delivery

The customer service you receive at Pat Lavery is second to none. Professional, friendly, very knowledgeable about the service they offer. I recently purchased a car and Tony ensured all the paperwork was completed accurately and answered any queries I asked him. Tony treats all his customers with respect and listens to what you need from a car and gives you options and advice, to help you make the right choice for you. You can 100% trust the service. There is no hard sell, and all the staff are always happy to help. I have been a customer now for approximately twenty five years and because of the excellent customer service and genuine care they deliver, has seen Pat Lavery garage develop into the successful business it is today. Well done Tony, Thank-you for making buying a car stress free. This is a perfect example of how all garages should treat their customers.

From start to finish Tony made the process so simple, no hard sell, no sales patter, this is how car dealers should do it. Tony did the whole process for me including transferring my private plate, taxing the care etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pat Lavery to friends and family.

Pat Lavery , highly recommended.

Excellent service. Paid deposit for the vehicle. Upon preparation of vehicle for collection, problems became evident with it. I was kept upto date with what was being done and offered deposit back as there would be a long wait. All work was eventually completed to a very high standard, and was given a 12 month warranty. I had a long journey to collect the car and they even picked me up from the hotel where I stopped over. All in all, exceptional service and would highly recommend to anyone.

Excellent Service! Buying a car from Pat Lavery. 10 Out of 10!

From start to finish, buying a car from Pat Lavery's in Horden Durham, was truly a remarkable experience. Tony, the boss at Pat Lavery is such a nice guy and gave me an excellent Professional Quality Service with great value for money too. He let me test drive the 2016 Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SRI, straight away on the Saturday and I was very impressed, so I purchased the vehicle. Also I received a Service, MOT with new tyres, brakes and a Warranty. I Would Highly Recommend Pat Lavery! 10 Out of 10! James
