Fantastic Range of Vehicles & Great Advice.
We visited back in October & wandered around inspecting the vans. Eventually, Tom appeared & showed us a van which we had not seen & which was perfect. I have been using it daily since then & absolutely love it. With grateful thanks to Tom, Eden, and all the team at SCS.

Efficient, friendly, personal service.
This is the 5th van we have bought with Tom & Eden. We return to SCS every time for their quick, efficient service. A great team that ensures everything is on point from start to finish. Eden backs up Tom's efficient sales by ensuring all the details are present & correct. Every can we have bought has been prepared to perfection with care and attention to detail throughout the process. Thanks to you both once again, we will be back for more soon.

Easy effortless amazing joyful
Tom and his team are user friendly and go over and above what they’re paid for to make buying a van painless.
We had an issue with a van it was dealt with and it didn’t even feel like we had issue.
And he hasn’t paid me to say this it’s true.

Excellent service throughout.
What a great experience, from start to finish Tom and his team have been superb. I found a Van online but had limited time to travel to them, but with a small refundable deposit they prepped the van to my liking. On the day of my first viewing but also collection I was met with a train strike, limiting the time I had at the dealership but no fear.. the team were waiting for me with a welcoming handshake and a cup of well needed coffee! A drive of the van and I signed some paperwork and off I went. Having worked in the motortrade for 20 years I can tell you the sign of a great dealer is when something goes wrong. I had a couple of small niggles with the van but nothing was a trouble, once the parts arrived they arranged for their polite and friendly driver to travel to me, just under 2 hours away! I was delivered a better van than I bought and within a short space of time my van was delivered back!
To say I'm over the moon is a understatement !
I didn't think such honest decent and service still existed.
Do not hesitate to buy a van with SCS, you will be extremely pleased with the standard of the vehicle and the service given. Keep doing what you are doing guys, I'll be back for my next one and will be recommending you. Dan - Football Fun Factory

Purchase of a Ford Ranger
Very impressed with the service and sales support provided by Tom and his team at SCS. I went with my son who was buying. Nothing was too much trouble and Tom provided a lot of practical knowledge in support of the sale. Would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to buy a used van and wants to be reassured that they are buying a quality vehicle

Fantastic service highly recommend
We started out looking for a van for our dog walking service and as two women who didn’t really know what that were looking for really struggled in the beginning. We purchased a van from a company who lied about service history and we had to return it. This made us dubious going forward about what to look for.

A couple of friends recommended SCS I can see why!

From the minute we walked in it felt right!
I genuinely would only buy vans from here again.
Tom and his team were absolutely fantastic and we truly believe they went above and beyond to help us!

Super happy with all the service provided and will be singing there praises to anyone who will listen!

Many thanks The Fairy Dog Mothers

I attended SCS, with the purpose of viewing a vehicle and possible purchase.
After meeting the salesman I was left alone to view it, and had a test drive. Really happy with the service, no pressure In buying.
After a couple of days I noticed an abs light staying on. Took it to my local garage, my mechanic contacted SCS after the work was carried out. Eden in accounts was fast to pay the bill. My mechanic was happy as he has had trouble with other Car Sales arguing over costs etc..
I will use them in the future and will continue to recommend.

Southern Commercial Sales
I popped in to SCS to look for a new van and spoke with a guy called Bill who was great. I phoned the next week and the phone was answered by Bills brother Tom. When I mentioned the van Tom asked "Is that Leigh?" In spite of running an obviously very busy garage Tom knew who I was, what van I was interested in and everything about it. I was very impressed. I bought the van a week later along with roof rack, seat covers and even sign written exactly as my old van all arranged for me with time taken to provide me with everything I wanted. It felt like I was his only customer! A completely stress free, enjoyable experience. Could not recommend this firm highly enough

Base van for a camper.
I’d been looking for a base van to convert for over a year. Saw the advert for the van as it was exact spec and no VAT to pay. As it was a VW,Private sales were similar if not more in price. I paid a refundable deposit, and planned to view travelling from the midlands by train. ( they even picked me up from the station)I queried the service history with the sales team (family business) and as no record of cambelt or DSG oil change had been done, the team did all the work before collection at their cost. Nearly a year on the van is well on the way to being converted and I’m using it as a daily. Amazing service and very grateful.

Sadly had to lose my Hilux after 18 months as I needed a van & SCS had a new SWB with only 200 miles which fitted the bill perfectly. Once again the whole process was made easy by the excellent service one comes to expect from SCS.

Buying vehicles has never really been my favourite thing to do, and if I'm honest, I usually dread having to deal with sales. That said, I can honestly say this has been my best experience in the motor sales industry. SCS is a family-run business, and you can really feel the difference. No pressure, and no one was trying to sell me things I didn't need. The whole atmosphere was relaxed and easy from start to finish. Everyone was super helpful and approachable, and the showroom had plenty of options — perfect if you're not exactly sure what you're looking for. It made the whole process simple and stress-free. Would definitely recommend.

Director Hi Dexter, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us a review. We're so pleased we were able to inspect your vehicle and identify the correct issue. It's especially satisfying knowing that, while you had previously been advised that a new gearbox was needed, the problem turned out to be something much simpler — just a tyre that was out of shape. We really appreciate your feedback and your trust in us. Kind regards, Tom Ware
