Several customers describe the cars as spotless and well prepared, with the Fiat 500, VW Golf, VW Tiguan, Mercedes C200 and Audi TTS named among purchases, and reviewers repeatedly mention that the stock consists of clean, carefully chosen examples. Umesh himself is a recurring theme: buyers call him welcoming, genuine and professional, noting that he allows test drives without pressure and offers honest advice before a sale.

Umesh is a great guy to deal with, bought my car from me for a fair price and made the whole process easy. I’d be happy to sell further cars to him. Although I didn’t buy a car from him, the cars in his garage were in good condition and the service experienced was fantastic.

Having to sell a vehicle due to my mum's declining health was looking like a challenging situation. With all of these online agencies wanting to take your vehicle and drive their offers down, I thought who else can I ask locally. Umesh came to mind, and a phone call and few messages later we arranged to meet. The rest of what ensued was nothing more than mutual business at it's finest. No fluff, no gimmicks just open and honest and a deal that is worthy of an Oscar. So straightforward and honest, I'm just so thankful for Umesh and the team for helping us to resolve an issue that could have left us in a predicament. We both had numbers in mind - which after some individual research we came to a positive outcome and I'm forever grateful for the understanding as well as the seamless service we received. Forever thankful for your honesty and open approach to sorting something for us. Buying and selling comes naturally - because with the right conversation it sets the expectations for a good outcome. Thank you Umesh for helping us. Keep up the amazing work.

Purchased a Mercedes slk from Umesh last week . This is I think the 4 vehicle I have purchased over the years . It was a great no pressure experience . And as all the previous vehicles it was turned out better than new . Nothing too much trouble and absalute pleasure . Lovely to catch up . And most highly recommend . If you are looking for a vehicle of all types and prices . He should be at the top of your list for places to look . Thanks again Umesh . Always a pleasure look forward to seeing you soon . Best regards Adrian 👍😀

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Umesh for many years, both as a fellow car dealer and as a friend and I can honestly say he is one of the finest people in the motor trade. Umesh conducts business with integrity, professionalism, and a genuine passion for looking after his customers. The quality of his vehicles is consistently outstanding, and his attention to detail is second to none. His reputation within the motor industry speaks for itself and is thoroughly deserved. Over the years, he has also given me some fantastic advice, which I have greatly valued and benefited from.

I recently purchased a VW Golf from Specialist Cars and received excellent customer service from Umesh throughout the entire process. From reserving the car, where the description and video were exactly as stated, to making payment upfront, everything was smooth, efficient, and handled professionally. Communication from Umesh was excellent at all times, and he even sourced delivery costs for me with absolutely no pressure to accept them. When I collected the car, all the paperwork was prepared and ready, making the handover quick and hassle-free. Umesh is a very trustworthy person and I couldn’t recommend buying a car from him highly enough. Keep up the great work, Umesh!

I recently purchased my VW Tiguan from Umesh at Specialist Cars and couldn’t be happier with the service I received throughout the whole process. From the start, Umesh was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful, making everything straightforward and stress-free. A few weeks after purchasing the vehicle, I experienced a small issue with the car. Umesh was incredibly approachable and dealt with the situation quickly and professionally. He kept in touch, reassured me throughout, and made sure the issue was resolved without any hassle. It’s refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely cares about customer service even after the sale has been completed. I would highly recommend Umesh and Specialist Cars to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and excellent aftercare.
