Ian is a big hit with our customers too. This year alone Ian has had such reviews as:
June 24, " Great service. Ian the salesman was brilliant. Made my experience buying a new car so easy and had answers for any questions I had! Ian Phillips was amazing, I asked if I could pick the car up a day earlier than we agreed and he did his best and pulled thru to get me it when I wanted it. Highly recommend"

June 24, "Each time we’ve gone to look at cars at Derek Slack we’ve been greeted with amazing customer service. Every other brand we’ve gone to have either been a bit ignorant or seemed to not care about their customers. We’ve seen Ian quite a few times while looking to upgrade our car and each time he’s been really helpful. Not pushy like other salesman we’ve met at other places, He’s very to the point and makes sure you know all the facts you’d need. He’s very clued up with the cars workings. Very knowledgeable about anything we needed to ask him and nothing seemed to be a stupid question (even about the exciting umbrella in the door). Can’t fault the service, quick turnaround and the car is excellent!!!"

May 24, "Ian the salesman was great in helping me with my purchase of a second hand Kamiq. We went on a test drive and I loved the car from the get go. Ian was very helpful and thorough throughout the process and I nothing was ever too much trouble. During hand over he explained all the controls to me and helped me to set up wireless smart link which is a great feature. All in all a great experience."
