We found exactly the car we wanted at Avenue Cars. A small automatic which they specialise in. It was a low mileage Toyota Yaris. Everything we wanted. Good price good service. Able to pay full amount on my credit card. Big surprise to me. If we need another car will happily go back and see James. We have no connection to this company other than happy customer. 👍

Couldn't be happier with the customer service I received and over the moon with my car. It's exactly as described, I love it! James is helpful, efficient and honest. Can't rate this business highly enough!

Over the past few years I have bought and sold a number of vehicles from Avenue Cars. On each occasion I have found Jim Waite to be very fair and easy to deal with.
Should you be looking for a car I suggest you give Jim a call. You will not regret it.

If you want a good car not forced on you as you’re not really sure you want it, James at Avenue Cars is terrific. There is no pressure selling and the cars he supplies are in first class condition at a sensible price. I thoroughly recommend him and Avenue Cars to anyone. I took over my Qashqai this morning and it’s exactly what I was expecting. Lovely!… Thanks to you and your team there at Avenue Cars. 👍👍👍👍

Thank you James
I was looking for a cheap reliable low milage auto transmission vehicle and was caught up in so many scams I was actually loosing hope, I am so thankful that I came across an advertisement online by avenue cars.
James was a very honest and kind gentleman who was direct , sincere and extremely helpful.
This is a family business and he has been at it for over 40 years.
He treats everyone with fairness including a clueless foreigner like me,
From DVLA and insurance he helped me get everything settled,
I am actually writing this review after doing 1000 miles just to say my 2008 WV polo is running very smoothly and hassle free.
I will definitely lay my trust in this business and return again when I need an upgrade.
I think this breed of old school honest businessman is a rare breed nowadays.
I wish him and his lovely wife best of success and hope I can do business in future.

It was an exceptionally good experience and I can thoroughly recommend Avenue Cars.

Excellent flexible service, was able to meet after hours to collect car

Good quality secondhand cars nicely laid out
From the time I meet James he was helpful interested and tried to tell you everything that he knew about the car which was good I was left to look at the car under no pressure. I took it for a nice test drive no questions asked but it was just the attitude honest and helpful and these days you can’t ask for more than that, so thank you

I would definitely recommend Avenue Cars. James is a real gentleman and was a pleasure to deal with when I bought my car from him.

Good service, good quality car, detailed explanation to inexperienced customer with a high degree of patience.

James was great from the first instance to the last , he left us to look at the car on our own answered all our questions did what he said he would to the car delivered it and paying for its painless😂”

Dealer was not pushy, helpful, car very clean and tidy, so far so good. One issue reported an in the process of rectifying it.”

Good service at a family run dealer. nice experience.

The service was first class, no pressure and well explained. I was impressed with the 6 month warranty, which certainly helped to assure me that I had made the right choice of car and dealer.

I recently visited Avenue Cars - and subsequently bought from James and Julie. From the moment I arrived at the showroom, their friendless and down to earth nature was apparent. They couldn't have been more helpful. I'd definitely recommend
them to family and friends.

James at Avenue Cars Winchester is amazing. A very trustworthy and honest local guy. He has just sold a car to my 17 year old nephew in the Army. James was really patient, explained everything to my nephew, answered questions and took him for a test drive. The whole deal was done in less than 2 hours where James also sorted out the road tax, warranty, RAC cover and payments. Avenue Cars Winchester is a real example of genuine local, and proud car dealership.

James was very friendly and welcoming, explained us all the history of the car in great detail and the sales process was quick and easy. He also gave us suggestions about visiting Winchester and let us leave the car parked on his premises to avoid congestion in town! It was a pleasure to deal with this company

I really love the car James has sold me. The buying experience was excellent. I could test and inspect it without any issues. James also gave me a heads-up with parts I should look into immediate replacement and he was right. Overall a great experience.

Great genuine small dealer well established near Winchester
Really genuine dealer, gave us a good trade in price when we bought our lovely Volvo. Initially had a couple of minor teething problems with the car, but these were resolved through the included warranty with support from James who couldn’t do enough.

Avenue Cars are a pleasure to do business with. No pressure sales and helpful in every way. Will use again.

Excellent customer service. Polite, friendly, informative,... and made me feel very comfortable.

Very pleasant and enjoyable transaction. Car as described on phone. One problem after purchase quickly sorted.

Having shopped around a number of dealers for this particular purchase, I felt very comfortable with the knowledge, honesty and competence of this dealer. This was the best buying experience I have had in the car market, as I learnt about the car, I was treated very well (without any hassle or delays) and it was an entirely friendly experience.

So far so good in terms of service and quality of car.

Thanks to James for all his time and effort in sorting out my new Mercedes its fantastic . Highly recommended .

Very Friendly and not pushy

James was very helpful, informative and courteous from our first enquiry through to completion of of purchase

Fantastic customer service throughout. They went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the vehicle in question. We had a small problem with the car in the first week which was something neither us or the dealer could have planned for. He came straight out to us over the weekend, took the car to be repaired and delivered it it back the same day. Fantastic customer service. Would definitely recommend them .

Was very straight forward and was no problems. I would definitely recommend.

Buying my car from Avenue Cars was very relaxed and I was not pushed into making a decision. The whole experience was 5*. Even after delivery of my vehicle I had a minor problem which was rectified immediately. I would not hesitate in recommending this company

I was given James' contact details by my neighbour who is a mechanic and buys all his cars from James, so I knew he was a trusted source. I contacted James by phone and discussed my requirements for a vehicle and he was extremely knowledgeable and took a long time to going through options and advice based on his car knowledge; I thought this was excellent considering there was no commitment to buy from him, no pushy sales either. We have now bought a car from Avenue Cars and very happy with it so far.

100% first class service, all the way very happy
and good help from them .Mike

Bought a Honda CRZ from Avenue Cars. At the time it had a broken headlight which James promised he would replace. Headlights for these cars are like hens teeth to get hold of but James persevered and finally found one and had it fitted for me at no expense to myself. I would certainly recommend Avenue Cars and would defiantely buy a car from them in the future.
Thanks James

Very happy with the excellent service and help from this professional and helpful company.
I love my new Kia . So good to deal with, honest and reliable dealer.

Excellent service, would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to buy a car from here again. Bonus came with rac breakdown cover and a full tank of fuel.

Excellent service, friendly and very efficient. It was pleasure to do business with James. We are very pleased with the car.

Avenue cars were impeccable, they were insightful friendly and when my car needed to have something looked at, they went above and beyond to make sure it was dealt with swiftly and investigated fully.

I cannot recommend them enough. If you are going to buy a car, head to Avenue cars first!!!

Fantastic! Lovely to deal with - I bought an awesome car, at a very fair price. Communication was great and the whole process was simple. I’ve had no issues at all with the car but feel confident that if I did I would also receive great after care.

Fantastic little Garage & Dealership where the staff are super friendly and helpful and are always willing to go the extra mile for you. I highly recommend Avenue Cars if you are looking for a second hand car and they are RAC certified so you know your car will run well and is covered.

Jim waitt very kindly donated brake parts from a car he was preparing to go out on the sales forecourt the next day. This enabled my partner and myself to travel home the next day. This from Jim who I had got cars from previously but a long time ago was totally unexpected but very kind. A very big thank you from Bob Andrews and Carol Horne.

One of the best experiences when I bought a car. Contacted James, very nice and honest Gentleman. Reserved car without deposit. Everything was like promised. Good deal and good car. Another happy customer. Big thanks James

Need to share this. Bought a 5 year old Astra in 2017 from Avenue Cars. Subsequently moved to London.. but didn't want to upgrade the car as just wanted a little run around - so the car is almost 9 years old now. Car was amazing from the time I got it.. I have only had to upgrade the tyres, with minimal upkeep since I got it.. has literally flown through all MOT's. Amazing service. Will definitely be back to Avenue Cars when I'm upgrading.

Bought my first car with help from James when Avenue Cars was in Southampton. Excellent person to deal with, he understand the requirement of customer and guides in right direction. You can go back to him after couple of years of purchase and you will be treated nice. Many Thanks James!!

Bought a lovely 2008 Mercedes ML 320 CDI 4x4 from James a few months ago. The vehicle was immaculate, had a good service history, and only 120k on the clock (if you know Mercs, that’s not much). It’s been back and forth to the Lakes a couple of times since then, and exhibits all the main virtues of the other two Mercedes 4x4s I previously owned from new. It will live in the Lakes and no doubt this Winter earn its keep, while its RWD stablemate stays at home. James has dealt promptly with any questions or minor issues and is very pleasant to deal with to boot. Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely love my new car. Process was extremely easy. Would highly recommend ,5 stars throughout. Well done James!

Absolute pleasure to deal with, James at avenue cars was totally honest and accurate with his description of the car (Audi TT) and the whole transaction was made easy by James, my partner loves her new car, thanks James and Avenue cars.

Brought an Audi A1 and was done as a part exchange and couldn’t be happier! James is super friendly and very professional, was a super easy and quick purchase. Would 100% recommend Avenue Cars, Thankyou so much again!

I would recommend this company
James was very professional, polite and helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a used car.

Brilliant
Service was really good, provided all documents needed and talked me through anything I was unsure of. Totally recommend.

WOW. Outstanding customer service from James. His knowledge of the vehicle was superb. From the test drive to finalising the paperwork was absolutely seamless. Thank you James, I will certainly be returning and I love my new car.

Excellent customer service, can't rate them highly enough.

Excellent customer service, can't rate them highly enough.

I had a really good experience buying a VWT5 from this dealer. James was not at all pushy, let me take the van out for a drive on my own and was flexible in agreeing a price. Van was delivered promptly and in sparkling condition. It turned out there was an issue with the battery, but James replaced with a heavy duty battery as he knew I am planning to convert into a camper. I will be happy to recommend James and Avenue Cars to all my friends and family - thank you James!

Outlined a deal on the phone and stuck to it on the day. Excellent car as described in extremely well prepared condition. Supplied spare key on the day and forwarded missing one as promised a few weeks later. Car exactly as described and in immaculate well prepared condition.

James went out of his way to source and deliver an excellent car. Great advice given on choices and options, Totally recommend!

BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE FROM AVENUE CARS
THANK YOU

James was really helpful. I am really pleased with my car.

I have recently bought a car from Avenue Cars, and the customer service provided was outstanding. Both Julie and James were exceptionally helpful, friendly and professional. The car had been cleaned inside and out, to an inch of its life. They answered all our questions. After seeing the vehicle and test driving it, I then proceeded to take it straight home. I had a question once we got home, which was missed when I had been with them, they answered it immediately. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them. I highly recommend them, and would definitely go back, to purchase another vehicle. Thanks Julie and James for making the whole experience a pleasure.

James was very professional, polite and helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a used car.

Brought my 2013 plate fiesta here. The dealer is honest and very reliable. My cars coolant system packed up within the warranty which was 6 or 12 months cant remember. This can happen to any car brand new or second hand. And fiestas are known for coolant faults. He booked the car into the garage that second I called him and the problem was rectified within 24 hours. The garage also sang avenue cars praises. Dont get many people this honest and reliable anymore. Will 100% use this man again and use his advise. I'd recommend him to anyone. thanks for your help and support 👍

James at Avenue Cars is absolutely superb. His customer service, honesty and kind nature makes the whole experience of buying a second hand car so much easier and reassuring. I would recommend him to anyone and I will certainly be a repeat customer. Thank you James for a brilliant experience.
