Fantastic experience. Dealt with Paul L and was very professional. Sent details and video of car very quickly and replied to my messages quickly. Picked me up from the metro station and the buying process was very quick. Car was better in person and looked amazing on pick up. Would highly recommend Redgate Lodge to everyone.

Bought a Mini JCW from Paul Laidler

Bought a Mini JCW from Paul Laidler. No pressure, just a relaxed atmosphere. Took car for test drive and no hard sell. Paul kept us updated through the process and made everything simple. Would have no hesitation recommending this dealer or Paul to buy a car from.
