Couldn’t be happier
We bought a Mercedes at the end of last year and honestly couldn’t be happier. Dan and Stu were great from start to finish. We met at their indoor showroom which was ideal as we could take our time looking around the car out of the rain. We both test drove it and loved it, and at no point did we feel any pressure which made the decision really easy. We’re really pleased with our purchase and would highly recommend these lads. Thanks again

Beware!
I purchased a 2010 Lexus RX450 in June 2025 from D B Specialist Cars. At the time of sale, I was informed that the vehicle had recently passed an MOT with zero advisories. I was also told by Dan that the underside of the car was in “mint” condition for a second-hand 2010 vehicle.
Unfortunately, this representation has proven to be completely inaccurate.
Around two months after purchase, I began to have concerns about visible rust and emailed Dan to raise this. Unfortunately, those concerns were not properly addressed.
Eight months after purchase, the vehicle failed its MOT due to severe rust and corrosion, including two large holes in the underside. These are significant structural issues that would not develop over 8 months of us owning it and raise serious questions about the condition of the vehicle at the time it was sold. It is particularly concerning that no rust or corrosion was noted on the MOT carried out prior to sale and any Pre MOT Checks carried out by the dealership.
As a customer viewing the vehicle in a showroom setting, there was no way for me to properly inspect the underside myself. I relied on the dealership’s description and honesty.
Since purchasing the car, I have already spent nearly £2,000 on repairs with an MOT failure. I emailed Dan at the time with my concerns and after emails chasing him for a response, the only contribution offered was £50, which I consider very inadequate given the extent of the corrosion and dishonesty. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend that any potential buyer arranges a fully independent inspection before purchasing from this business.

Car not fit for purpose
Bought a car end of Nov 25. A black mini cooper - green wing mirrors - NG11 BZV. Whilst selling the car to me, they couldnt be more helpful, however after it was evident the car was not fit for purpose and needs a new engine. I contacted them 2 days after purchase about this problem.
I was met with unhelpfulness, delay tactics and 3 cancelled oppurtunities across 4 weeks to return the vehicle.
The car has gone straight back up for sale on their website whilst it was still in my ownership and possession.
Great service - providing you don't come across any problems.
I understand second hand cars could have problems but how it was dealt with could have been so much better and less stressful if I didnt have to chase up, nag and threaten trading standards just to return the car within the first month of having it.

Not fit for purpose
Purchased a C Class Mercedes C350. Great sales pitch Dan and Stu, The car had faults within 24 hours. Took it to a proper Mercedes specialist. Found to be not fit for purpose. Riddled with dangerous faults. Rust, brakes, tyres, oil leaks. Subframe rusted through. Flat battery.
Dealer not helpful at all. Ignores emails. A total rip off. My advice is to use a main dealer.

How buying a car should be!
I can’t recommend these guys enough. The whole car buying service was fast, courteous, and friendly. Dan and Stu were constantly in touch, to keep me in the loop with progress, and Stu even picked me up from the train station, when I arrived to pick up the car.
The paperwork had all been taken care of, and overall the whole purchase was a hassle-free experience. No pressure, and I was back on the road with my new wheels in a hour.
I’ve been stung a couple of times previously when buying used. However, this time was a pleasure and I’d happily recommend to anyone thinking of getting a used car.
Nice one guys!

I can't thank Dan and Stu at D B specialists enough for their time and communication they made buying our Mercedes CLA Shootingbrake a pleasurable experience.
Dan went out of his way to provide a full video walk through of the car, pointing out even the smallest detail, this was followed up with a video call to make sure we were happy with what we had seen.
The car was delivered to our door from Cwmbran to North Wales and at no point was there any pressure on my wife and I to purchase. The following day we received a courtesy call to make sure we were still happy with the car, we are.
I have added DB Specialists to my address book and will be recommending them to family.
Thank you
