Here are a few comments from some of our many satisfied customers;

Dear Ashley, Thank you so much for the fantastic service we received from you when faced with the prospect of buying a new car. Once we had told you what we were looking for, you gave 100% commitment to finding us the perfect vehicle. In less than 2 hours you had found it! We were impressed with the dedication you demonstrated throughout the sale. The car was spotless when we collected it. It is our aim to keep it that way.... despite having three children and a dog!! I would not hesitate in recommending you to any of our friends looking for a high quality of service and vehicle. Thank you.

Mrs. Emma Lock, Shewsbury

Hi Ashley & Nick, I wanted to take the time to personally thank you for your help & assistance in the purchase of Miranda's Range Rover Sport this week. Once again you both made the experience very smooth and easy. Turning the car around in such a short space of time was incredible and we are very happy & grateful.

The purchase of the Porsche 911 was also a fantastic experience with you sourcing me the perfect car while I was out of the country and during the Christmas holiday,  Having dealt with you for over 7 years I was very confident that you would exceed my expectations & once again you came up trumps!! Not many people would buy a car whilst abroad but I knew that you would not offer me the car unless you were sure that I would be blown away!!! I was & still am, Just waiting for the sunshine now to totally take advantage of the convertible roof!!

Recently viewed and offered to purchase an XKR from Merv Hannam via the internet.  Never before utilised the internet....initial concerns, well of course. Merv Hannam, i.e. Nick & Ashley were solid and trustworthy, selling a beautiful low mileage car that perfectly matched it’s description.  The purchase could not have been easier, collection was a breeze.  Nice... two weeks \ 800 miles later I remain a very satisfied customer.

I have bought 2 cars from Ashley, the first an E46 M3 SMG which was a cracking car. Ashley was very active to keep me happy after a small fault meant that the car needed main dealer attention back in Falmouth where I live. Ashley sorted it all out with no pain and thats why I went back to him 2 years later and requested him to find me a 997 Carerra s. It was a tall order as I had a specific spec and colour and would not settle for anything but. After  2 weeks he found the car and I was very happy to travel for 3 hrs to view the car...it was exactly the car as he described and I had no reservation in purchasing the vehicle. 8 months on and stil very happy....I would recommend Hannams to anyone who needs a quality high performance car!

I cannot thank Ashley and his team higher enough for their professionalism and dedication. I gave Ashley exact details of the car I was after without any leeway and 24 hours later he not only found the car for me but I was driving it! It was beautifully presented and has been a joy ever since. Also such lovely people to converse with, nothing too much trouble. My father dealt with Merv (Ashley's) father back in the day and I am pleased to say the continuity will remain.

“Thank you Ashley,  for looking after me so well with the purchase of my lovely new M3 Cabriolet, you made the buying process so easy”

Mrs. Sarah Easton, Ascot, Berkshire

"Ashley, It’s been a week and a bit since I took delivery of the M3, and I honestly say that the car is everything that people and Auto Magazines have wrote about it. The power is absolutely awesome!! My 320cd M Sport was like a mistress (refined, conservative, but with good looks). The M3 is JUST A WHORE!!!!!!!

On a serious note, may I take this opportunity to thank you, and especially Sean who looked after me in your absence, and for the way Merv Hannam as a company handled the smooth transition of 320cd to M3.

Sean was so helpful, and answered all the questions that I threw at him. As you say in your testimony on the web site, all your cars are chosen for their condition and individuality, and I cannot endorses that statement enough. To many people it may just be another M3, but to guys in the know it stands out from the norm with CSL wheels that you put on her, the condition, and the individual specifications.

Since the short time I have owned the car, I have had no fewer than 6 people ask me where I got her from. To which I just point at the sticker in the back window.

Once again many thanks for all your help, and I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone that is looking for that car that is tastefully above the norm, and discretely stands out from the crowd"

Mr Andrew Wardell, Basildon, Essex

"Hi Ash, just a brief word on my daughters behalf, we tasked you to find a car for her and you went out of way to not only find the exact car but the exact colour, and then to actually go and get it! All this took 48 hours! Pretty good going in my book. Cheers."

John Chalk and Family,  Branksome, Poole

"I bought a car from you just before Christmas last year, and I just wanted to drop you an email to say thanks for all your help and efforts during the warrantee period. It's an excellent car, the make and model of which I've wanted to own for many years. I'm really happy to say that it's a great drive, and very well selected by yourselves. I'm really happy with its look/condition and history and really look forward to keeping it for many years to come.

When I had a minor issue with a part needing replacement , your services and support were excellent. It was so much easier for me to get the part replaced locally as I live over in Camberley, and it was great that you were happy for me to do this and cover the costs. It was also excellent that you were able to bring the car up to show me for a test drive when I bought it, a true reflection of your honesty and quality of service.

I would never hesitate in advising anyone I know looking for a car to approach yourselves first, indeed I know that I'll be back to your forecourt looking for a car when I need to replace mine!

Many thanks again, and please feel free to forward my compliments on to anyone who asks to see your customer comments."

Mr. Gavin Maple, Camberley

"Just a note to say what a pleasure it has been dealing with you and I am thrilled with the car.  It may not have quite as many toys or be quite as quick as the XJR but it is beautifully built, handles and drives superbly and is very comfortable.  It's also a lot easier to manoevre around.  The CD player works well too - thanks for organising that.

As this is my first BMW after several Jags and Saabs I can now see what all the fuss is about with these 3 Series BMWs!
Thanks again for all your help."

Mr Richard Haynes, Penn Hill, Poole

Dear Ashley,

I thought I should write to say thank you for your recent assistance in buying my BMW Convertible, from the minute I saw the car on your forecourt I just knew I had to buy it.

From the very start your service was excellent and every question I had was answered promptly and efficiently, of course as with any used car there are bound to be a few niggles however these were ironed out quickly with little hindrance to my daily routine. Some of these I must point out were purely cosmetic and it was just down to me being picky but never at any point did your professionalism waiver.
My wife and I love the car (especially as the weather has been so good) and I am sure that when our children are grown up another one will be bought or I will lose mine to my wife.

This is the second car that I have bought from Merv Hannam of Bournemouth and whereas some people may be skeptical about buying a used car I feel that Merv Hannam of Bournemouth and in particular yourself and Nick are doing your utmost to improve the image and reputation of used car dealers by selling premium quality cars with an exceptional service.

I have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends, family or indeed anyone looking to buy a new or used car I am sure they won't be disappointed and keep up the good work.

Mr David Bowyer, Bearwood, Bournemouth

“It is rare nowadays to find a dealer as helpful as you have been during the problem I had with my Audi, one phone call and the car was collected, repaired and returned the same day, at no charge! I wish all businesses were run like Merv Hannam’s”
