Would NOT recommend this dealer to…

Would NOT recommend this dealer to anyone. Purchased a car just over 2 months ago which has had continuous issues/faults with the engine. Back and forth into different garages and yet the car still has faults. Absolutely fed up and at a point of rejecting the car!

Absolutely fantastic!

I have been so incredibly grateful for the amount of support and patience that Rob from Gateway Motor Group - The Wirral, has given me. I bought a lovely Peugeot 3008 from them back in late December 2025 and sadly 11 days later it broke down with a mechanical fault. I had to send it to a garage, which ended up being a Peugeot dealership/garage. They had my car for a month and constantly was trying to charge me for looking at my car or taking deeper dives into what’s wrong with it. Even though, it was quite obvious that the break down was due to previous recall issues, yet they still tried to charge me every step of the way. Without Rob constantly on my side and having my back, I would be -£1200. He was the absolute driving force in getting my car sorted. He reassured me with every wobble I had and continued to support me by providing me with a courtesy car while mine was being fixed. I cannot fault my experience with Gateway Motor Group. Rob really did everything and more. From messaging him before Christmas about my interest in the car, to today when I finally got my car back, he kept me updated and kept in great contact from the start. Such a lovely guy, would recommend buying a car from them to everyone.

Fantastic service, excellent car dealership

I bought a car from Gateway this week and my experience was brilliant from start to finish. Dan was professional and friendly in all contact and the car was delivered to my front door in immaculate condition. Very reliable and personable staff and the car was exactly as sold, and very well looked after. I would highly recommend this car dealership.

A new era of car of buying a car

5/5 Stars: Excellent Service and Attention to Detail at Gateway Motor Group
​I recently purchased a fantastic Range Rover Evoque 2.2 from Gateway Motor Group, and I am absolutely delighted with my experience.
​My primary contact was Rob, and he was exceptional from start to finish. Rob demonstrated excellent customer service with outstanding attention to detail esp with the brand.
He was professional, knowledgeable about the vehicle, and truly took the time to ensure every part of the transaction was smooth and transparent. I like the no pressure sales option.

​It was clear that Rob prioritized my needs, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt completely comfortable with the purchase. The focus on detail made the entire buying process stress-free and enjoyable.
​I highly recommend Rob and the entire team at Gateway Motor Group. If you're looking for a luxury vehicle or any other for that matter and expect top-tier customer care, this is the place to go. Thank you, Rob/Tim for making this such a positive experience!
​-- A Very Satisfied Customer

Hi Derek,
We are unsure why you have left us a 1 star review. The AA Warranty we put on the car ensured it was fixed at your local garage at no cost to yourself.
If there is anything else we can help with please contact us via email sales@gatewaymotorgroup.co.uk or call 0151 541 0491
Thanks

Easily the best used car seller in and around Chester

Having seen something I liked through CarGurus online, I called Gateway and spoke with Rob - who was ... well outstanding!!!

He has totally restored my faith in car salespeople and car dealerships in very large measure!!

I bought my car after a lengthy test drive and an honest conversation with Rob about the car's history and I could not be happier.

Excellent service. First class attention to detail. And a deal that was simplicity itself from start to finish.

Faith restored. Great car bought! Perfect!

Another happy customer

Just purchased my BMW 2 Series from Rob, having previously worked in finance for 30yrs, dealing with Motor Dealers, I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Rob. He was very professional, a genuinely nice guy who delivered on his promises. The vehicle is absolutely immaculate inside & out for its age & has below average mileage. Would definitely recommend.

Probably the Best Car Sales in The World :-)

Well, I have had bad experiences buying cars in the past. As soon as I spoke to Rob on the phone regarding a vehicle,something was different. He sounded very genuine, honest, no sales pressure at all. I went to look at the car and was a bit dissapointed but Rob explained that he hadn't yet done the prep on it. I decided to go back about a week later (90 miles), to have another look and sure enough, the car looked soooooo much better. I must say that dealing with Rob was a very nice experience. Strange. I felt like I was buying from an old trustworthy friend than a salesman. Honestly, when he says that he does his very best to make customers happy, does his best to make the car as good as he can, he genuinly means it, really.
I have to say, I'm nearly 68 yrs old now and have never experienced this sort of dedication to service, not just with a car but with everything. If, like me, you don't know anything about cars, don't worry. You are in good hands when you but from this seller. It's like buying a car from your best mate, who you know would never sell you something that he would not sell to his own mother.
Aaaaaaaanyway. If you want to buy a car, want some, honest family service, just give Rob a call. You won't be dissapointed. Dealing with Rob is like dealing with your best mate.
Another good thing is that, if after buying a car, you have questions/problems, you won't be handed to different people all the time. You'll get to speak to the guy that sold you the car. In my car, it is Rob. No problems. Anyway, I do go on. Great service. Just go for it and don't worry. Recommended to all :-) J.P.

Rob prides himself on being genuine, honest, and pressure-free, so it’s wonderful to know that came across from your very first phone call. We’re glad the revisit was worth the 90-mile trip and that the car, once fully prepared, met your expectations.

Helpful, quibble-free sales and after sales

Having had a very bad experience with another motor trader recently, I was keeping my fingers crossed not to have a repeat of this. Rob was very reassuring when I went to view the car, pointing out bits and bobs that he was going to have sorted before the car was sold. True to his word, they were done when I went to collect the car. He has also been incredibly helpful with the one or two other problems that have arisen so far - happy to put right and quick to do so.

Would highly recommend. Excellent service

Rob from my initial enquiry regarding a vehicle to the after sales has been excellent. Rob sorted out my part exchange, buying the tax, AA warranty - which we needed to use during the 1st week- but it's also piece of mind when buying a second hand car to transferring my private reg and paying off my previous cars balance.
I would highly recommend buying a car from here. I would not hesitate to buy from here again in the future.

Excellent Car Sales

They contacted me straight way after I made my first enquiry online.
I was told everything about the car and a test drive was arranged.
The turnaround for the car was quick and no hassle. I would certainly recommend Gateway Motor Group to anybody searching for a car.

I purchased a used Nissan Juke at the end of November 2024.
Drew the salesman was fantastic, full of knowledge about the vehicle and also brought the car to my home for me to take for an initial test drive and again when I decided to make the purchase which was extremely convenient for me.
The car runs perfectly, I've had no issues so far and it also comes with 6 months AA warranty included for extra peace of mind.
I would definitely recommend Gateway Motor Group to my friends and family, great experience and trustworthy, a well deserved 5 stars.
Thanks
