Harringtons Car Sales

I recently purchased a car from Harringtons and Peter really delivered exceptional service. He gave me a very fair price on my car which i part exchanged and he personally delivered my new car. It was an all round nice experience with good honest advice.

I required to replace my 2003 Avensis 1.8 Automatic and allowed myself 6 months to do this. After searching for 5 months without success, I found Harringtons had a car which matched my requirements, but was outside my budget. Several emails passed between Peter and myself, till a price was agreed. Never at any time, did I feel I was under any pressure. Getting my car delivered 90 miles away and also my car taken in exchange, was a bonus. The car was delivered in immaculate condition and I would without any hesitancy recommend Harringtons to be aware of your requirements. Many thanks Peter, you give a 1st class service.

They replaced the part but they also charged more than the initial quote. They also did not do any more than they were required to do. They are very exact and methodical if you know what you want they can do exactly what you want.

We live in Merseyside & Harringtons is in London, my wife needed a small automatic, she saw a 2014 Suzuki Alto on the internet at Harringtons.
We contacted them and spoke to the owner about the car and they offered to have it delivered to Merseyside to test drive, if my wife did not like it they would take it back. Mr Harringtons son drove up from London with the car on a low loader.
The car is as described and my wife loved it so went ahead with the sale.
The service we have received is 1st rate and Mr Harrington and his son were very friendly, polite and professional and I would highly recommend them as a company.

Not a good experience. Heard good reviews about this garage so organised a test drive as a NQ driver. Couldn't find anyone from sales so someone from the garage came out. No checks on ID or insurance prior to drive, just gave me the keys and said off you go.

The car (I tested) clutch control wasn't great, stiff and very high biting point that caused me to stall multiple times. Hard to pull off from. Returned to the garage and raised my concerns- unfortunately the sales person we spoke to (didn't introduce themselves) didnt take this on board, just said "it's fine when I drive it". Big disappointment with this as they didn't seem to take my concerns seriously even after my friend who has 40 years driving experience expressed concerns with the clutch and the jerky movement when changing gears.

Not friendly and felt they were just shrugging me off.

Left feeling very low confidence and a bit shaken up as a new driver.

Won't return. It is such a shame as I can see this does have good reviews but I don't feel reassured by the experience I had.

I moved away from Borehamwood to The Midlands 16 years ago but still travel down to Harrington’s Car Sales for my cars. I collected my latest car on Friday and found the service as brilliant as ever....well done Harrington’s, I’ll be back....but not too soon!!

Another fabulous car bought from Harrington’s Car Sales with the same level of service, can’t recommend them highly enough.

Bought a 2018 car for myself and my son who has just passed his test. Absolutely delighted with the car. As for Harrington's, first class service and absolute trust in this family run business that has been in Shenley for well over 15 years.

Would I but another car from here? Definitely.

Extremely happy.

Cannot recommend this company enough. I really struggled to find an honest and trustworthy used car dealer in and around Greater London. Finally, I stumbled across an advert for a lovely car from Peter at Harringtons Car sales and they have not disappointed. During the lockdown they went above and beyond to ensure a great customer experience and I now, after a long search, have a car that does not disappoint. The car is in great condition and I will recommend this business to anyone I know looking for a trustworthy dealer. Thanks again!
