Great service from Paul and the team
Great service from Paul and the team. From start to finish! Vocal and so helpful

***DISGUSTING AFTERSALES***DO NOT BUY FROM OTTER VALE****COWBOYS***
Bought a truck from these in 2024, issues arouse from collection, 2nd key was not working, then they tried to reprogram a key that then wiped the 1st key leaving the car stuck on the ramp, bearing in mind this was a pre arranged pick up of the truck! Clearly the cowboys did not do there pre inspection checks of the truck! So had a 4 hour round trip for nothing... finally got the truck and had it had a fault with the window going up and down, rang there service department and was told this was covered under warranty and to bring the truck in! I took the truck in and was given a loan truck with no fuel in it. Had a call to say my truck was ready and it was just the rubbers on the windows that were dry and that it needed lubing up....to then be told that I would be charge £60 as it was not a mechanical fault. No mention of this was made on the initial booking and if the truck was properly pre inspected/checked prior to collection then it would not have been a fault.. They would not release my truck and held me to ransom till the £60 was paid... AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! ***DISGUSTING AFTERSALES****DISGUSTING SERVICE****
***DO NOT BUY FROM HERE***

Coby took my initial enquiry and we looked at the Ranger I was interested in. However after noticing the stock of Rangers they had I clocked one that I liked and went through that one. The final purchase and explanation was excellent. Will continue use at Otter Vale Motors.

Crooks who offer we buy any car prices for desperate people. Absolute dishonest sharks

Coby was friendly and welcoming
Coby was friendly and welcoming, he was happy to take time to explore options and notwithstanding the terrible weather went through everything when we collected our Ford Ranger. We were very pleased with the service we received and love our truck
Highly Recommend
Really friendly helpful Service Department who go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.
Happy & Recommend
Coby was friendly, helpful and not pushy. We weren't sure what we wanted so we were given several keys and time to look around. We eventually chose a Navara and the purchase was simple, warranty explained fully and the loose tailgate fixed easily and efficiently. We are very happy with our purchase and would recommend Otter Vale Motor Services.
Paul Hood was very helpful
Paul Hood was very helpful, explained everything, pros and cons of extra warranty etc. I would buy from Otter Vale Motor Services again
Had a great experience from start to finish.
Had a great experience from point of enquiry to picking up the truck. Paul went out of his way to accommodate me even picking me up from the airport when I came to collect it.

Very good customer service from Paul Hood and he even helped me do the tax transfer once the truck had been delivered. Also first time that i have had a truck delivered with fuel in it usually it is on total empty. Thanks for great service Paul and we will use you again.
I was after a reliable replacement…
I was after a reliable replacement truck after my old 2017 Navara developed a serious engine problem, so I went to Otter Vale as the choice on offer was extensive and they were reasonably local. I was looking for a decent second hand truck that could tow with ease and provide reasonable comfort for normal day to day driving. Otter Vale let me review a few different models and I ended up with what I hope will be a solid choice but also took out a 4 year warranty just to be on the safe side. The sales process was simple enough and I was not rushed or put under any pressure.

Paul was incredibly helpful when we purchased our truck. We had a fair price on our trade in and drove out the same day. A very pleasant experience with thoroughly helpful staff. I would definitely recommend this dealership. Thank you.
Let down by one flakey individual
Let down by one flakey individual. I was looking to sell a low mileage vehicle on behalf of an aging relative. I told them the relative was too ill to be managing the process so left my number and asked them to call me direct with a valuation or any queries. I indicated the minimum price I was looking for (£200 more than Motorway.co.uk and webuyanycar.com). I left them photos of the car and service history. Craig then called my aging relative and offered £2,000 less than my minimum price. He never called me. I believe he was hoping to catch out a vulnerable individual. Just flakey behaviour from one individual in a local company where I would have expected better.

Absolute shocking customer service from both cameron and coby .
Was looking to sell my truck to them .
Over a space of a month or longer I rang multiple times and was told they would get back to me but never did .
If they were not interested that would be fine, but at least have the courtesy to tell me .
