Customer Testimonials
What Our Customers Say
I cannot praise this establishment highly enough, the owner, Tony Bilham, was very patient and helpful to me regarding the purchase of an excellent VW Golf GTD. The questions I asked were answered promptly and politely, the advice given was second to none. He went beyond and above my expectations in his preparation of the car, even fitting a new battery because and I quote “it felt a little sluggish on start up this morning”. Excellent experience, fabulous customer service, superb from the moment of first contact through to the collection of the car. Highly recommended to all, and would definitely use for purchase of another vehicle.

I bought my first car from this company about 5 months ago and had a great experience from start to finish. Tony was absolutely brilliant — friendly, patient, and easy to talk to. He took the time to explain everything clearly and never made me feel pressured, which really helped as a first-time buyer. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and even months later I’m still really happy with my car. I’d definitely recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a car.

James
We had a brilliant experience at The Garage at Stanley Mills from start to finish. Viewing the Hyundai i10 that we were interested in was easy. Tony left us to look over the car in our own time. The test drive was totally relaxed and afterwards Tony answered all the questions we had. One week later we collected our car, paperwork was ready and everything finalised. It was a totally relaxed, hassle-free experience. We would highly recommend this Garage.

Having bought many cars over the years, I can honestly say that buying my car from Tony Bilham at The Garage, Stanley Mills, Bingley, has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment I first met Tony I felt I was dealing with someone who genuinely values his customers. He was friendly,knowledgeable,patient, and never once put me under any pressure. Everything was explained clearly, and I had complete confidence that I was buying from someone I could trust. What impressed me most was the exceptional level of customer care. Tony went far beyond what I expected. He bought and fitted my personalised number plates, sourced and supplied a spare wheel and tyre because the car had never been fitted with one,completed all the paperwork to transfer everything over, and when I arrived to collect the car, he said the battery didn’t sound as though it was at its best. Rather than taking any chances, he fitted a brand-new battery before I drove away. Every one of those things was done without charging me a penny extra. That kind of service is incredibly rare these days and says everything about the way Tony runs his business. It’s easy to sell someone a car It’s much harder to earn their complete trust and confidence. Tony did exactly that,and I drove away knowing I`d made the right choice If you’re looking for a quality used car and want to buy from someone who is honest, trustworthy, and genuinely goes above and beyond for his customers, I cannot recommend Tony Bilham and The Garage at Stanley Mills enough. Thank you , Tony it has been an absolute pleasure doing business with you. You have certainly gained a customer who will happily recommend you to family,friends,and anyone looking for a first class car-buying experience

Anthony Boyes
Restored my faith After a bad experience elsewhere it was reassuring having an open and honest discussion about the car. Tony made the whole process easy and relaxed without any hard sell or pushiness. The fact the car was in great condition and Tony was honest about a little issue he was going to get resolved gave me further confidence I was getting an honest picture. Absolutely would recommend this place.

Dean Ryder
I’ve purchased many cars over the years but never had an experience like The Garage at Stanley mills. Tony is exceptional at what he does, understanding and very passionate about what he delivers. 3 day turnaround with easy finance options, the car was in impeccable condition as described along with service history all documented with receipts to boot. Tony, thank you so much and I will recommend you far and wide. Best car buying experience I’ve ever had.

Karl Allen
I dont ordinarily write reviews but will make an exception based on the brilliant sevice i received from Tony when purchasing a BMW 430D from him this weekend. He is someone who clearly has a deep seated passion for cars which is apparent by the pride he takes in the preparation of all the cars he sells. Whilst they are not new, they will genuinely be the best version of themselves before they go on his forecourt. But even better than his vehicles, Tony is what i would describe as an "old school" gentleman. Honest, genuine and sincere and are not really qualities i would readily associate with the Motor Trade but that is exactly what you will get with Tony. From the moment i walked in to the test drive to the negotiation and handover, Tony made me feel so welcome and nothing was too much bother! Thank you so much for making it such a pain free buying process Tony. I absolutely love my new car and It was an absolute pleasure meeting you and doing business with you. Cant say thank you enough and i will back when the time comes for a new vehicle. Thank you so much again Tony and best wishes to you and The Garage at Stanley Mills. Naz

Nasir Kaliq
Great experience from the Garage @ stanley mills From making contact to see the car, taking it for a test drive and subsequent purchase, Tony simply couldn't have been any more helpful nor professional. In addition, even though I had no plans of part exchanging my old car, he offered me what I considered to be a very fair price for it that I ended up doing so. Post sale, a very small issue has been discovered during routine servicing and this is to be rectified quickly and without any qualms by Tony. I cannot recommend this garage highly enough!

S Marshall

Robert Kilner
Great service Very friendly, very helpful and a very easy transaction.

Adam Harwood
Highly recommended! Had a great experience buying our VW Golf from The Garage at Stanley Mills. Tony is a real old school car salesman. Knowledgable and no hard sell. We travelled over 100 miles to buy the car. He had it delivered all the way to us in Oswestry. The car had an unforeseen gear mesh problem that only became apparent after a long drive. He had the car back, gave us a replacement car, had the job sorted and delivered it back to us personally on a Sunday morning. A 200 mile round trip. Can't beat that!

Nigel Wakelam
Excellent service throughout Excellent from beginning to end - made purchase very straightforward, from payment to the logistics of collection/delivery. Also, went the extra mile helping us assign private plates. Very happy customer!

Robert Kendal
I never do reviews , however in this case I will make an exception as the service I received from the garage at Stanley mills was exceptional, I have bought many cars in my time both new and used but never received service like that , as has been said before Tony is an absolute gentleman, knows what he's talking about , no sale's jargon no pressure a really nice buying experience and further more I would have no qualms in recommending friends or family to buy a vehicle from this dealership and in fact have already done so

Neville Downey
Great communication from start to finish! I trusted them and felt confident I was getting a great car. And I did……… My own car was taken in part exchange, and my new car was delivered within a week. No problems, no issues and I would definitely recommend to my friends. Thankyou 👍

Sarah Brown
I went to another garage yesterday with my son to look at a car for his first car. For various reasons we didn't buy it. We went today to "The Garage at Stanley Mills" and saw Tony. It was so nice not to feel pressured, not to feel like the dealer was trying to hide something! He talked through all the work he'd done on the car before putting it up for sale and produced all the invoices, from independent companies. It was easy to identify the new parts that had been fitted. Sadly car dealers don't always have a good reputation but it was great to find one who I felt I could trust. Very happy with the car :-)

Bob Tear
I bought a beautiful car from here. Very accommodating, really friendly and trustworthy. Took my car as part ex for the going rate. Half a tank of petrol, perfect transaction.

Andrea Nelson

Karl Price
I recently traded in my 16-year-old Jaguar X-Type for a fair price, in exchange for a 10-year-old Seat Leon, which came with a very comprehensive RAC warranty. A most pleasant, no-pressure deal. I'd spotted a few scratches on one bumper corner which Tony hadn't noticed - he immediately offered to have that resprayed, and was good as his word, and a nice job too. Now to be clear there were in a short while some problems with the car. Nothing dire, but It developed a slight water loss - but no visible leak; a wheel bearing started to go; the air bag warning light came on and stayed on; and the sat nav didn't work. But of these, only the sat nav would have been possible to spot prior to my buying it. And neither I nor Tony had. The water leak wasn't visible - water was as Tony correctly diagnosed over the phone the EGR valve leaking water into the exhaust - simple fix. The wheel bearing only started to make any sound at all a week or more after I'd bought it. The air bag warning light was only an issue a while after purchase, and that proved to be just a loose connection under the passenger seat. The sat nav? The previous owner had 'liberated' the SD disc, presumably to sell on Ebay or whatever (and totally pointless as these have to be paired to the car by a Seat dealer!) If a used car proves 100% perfect, I'd be happy enough - 4* certainly. But for me, the real test of a garage is what they do when there ARE post sale problems, and whether they should have been avoided. In this case no, they could not have been avoided other than by a clairvoyant; and what Tony undertook was a 70-mile round trip to collect the car, leave me a replacement, take my car back and promptly fix everything, paid a Seat main dealer £££s to provide a 'paired' SD card for the Satnav, and another 70-mile trip to deliver the car back to me! He could just have pointed me to the warranty, but he didn't - he solved it all for me personally so he had all the hassle and I had none. Friendly, ultra-helpful, a really nice guy and exactly the service you want when you buy a used car. That's why, if I could, I'd give this garage 6*! Well actually - I sort-of have.... ;-) Since you are reading this, you are being sensible (as I was) and checking the reviews. You will struggle to find better than his, and well deserved too. Thanks Tony.

Trevor Phillips
A great buying experience ! What a great dealership. The car was well advertised with a YouTube video showing all the features. Tony was excellent to deal with throughout the sale. I'd definitely recommend this business.

Harvey King
Excellent customer service with everything you would want when buying a car Having been looking for a particular car with good heritage, I contacted the Garage at Stanley Mills and from the initial call to having my car delivered the service and communication has been fantastic. Tony is a genuine car enthusiast who's a great communicator, nothing was too much trouble and as I was buying from a distance, he even put up with my various questions. The car when it arrived was just as described and exactly what I was looking for. I've bought and sold a lot of cars over the last few years and would thoroughly recommend Tony and the Garage at Stanley Mills.

Tim Shattock
Great experience from start to finish made buying a car easy would 100% recommend buying a car from this dealer

Martin Law
Overall a very good experience in purchasing the car Tony was True to his word ,saying the car was immaculate inside and out. Was worth the three and a half hour journey, Very approachable, and just left us to look around the car in our own time ,then giving us plenty of time for a test drive. Would definitely recommend the garage to family and friends.
