“From personal experience sourcing a new car is a huge ‘time vampire’, but Lesley from The Car Network has become my own ‘Silver Bullet’. A brief description of the type of car we needed and within a few hours the ideal car had been located and a competitive quote was on my laptop. Delivery was when promised, with no hiccups! No fuss, no bother and a minimal amount of my time consumed – brilliant! Clearly Lesley cares passionately about providing great service, we’ll be back in the future!”
