Avante Cars is an all and all great garage with genuine and honest staff who are always ready to go the extra mile for their customers. As I live far away and had missed my bus, one of the mechanics, Graeme, a very friendly chap with a keen knowledge on cars, offered me a lift back to the nearest station where I could then take the train back to Paisley, and I really appreciate him for that too. In the end, due to my own circumstances, I was not able to purchase the car (sorry John and Graeme), but I still received an excellent customer service throughout and am thoroughly impressed! It's definitely one of the best, if not the best, garage that I have come across and I would recommend it with all my heart.

Peugeot 207

Bought a Peugeot 207 off John, who seems to be one of the remaining decent 2nd hand car dealers around. The battery went on it 3 weeks into my purchase, phoned John, and he took it in the next day. He had it looked over and had a new battery fitted before sending it back to me. Seemed a decent guy when I bought the car, proved he is today, would recommend to anyone looking for a decent 2nd hand car and an honest salesman go to him. And I love my wee Peugeot, right wee gem it is.

John seems to be one of the remaining decent dealers, can't fault him at all. I bought a wee Peugeot 207 off him 3 weeks ago, on which yesterday the battery failed. He took it in via his mechanic this morning and its coming back this afternoon with a new battery. Service and his sales manner were both top notch, and I love my wee Peugeot, cracking wee car and a cracking dealer. Would recommend anyone looking for a decent 2nd hand car from a trustworthy dealer check out Avante cars

I'd like to thank John. What a wonderful service he provided. I bought a Mercedes Benz which is an absolute joy to drive and drives like a new car. It has a low mileage and we were happy with the price. It was MOT'd before we picked it up. John said not to hesitate to get in touch if there was anything wrong. I would be delighted to buy another car from him. He has certainly provided a 5 star service. If I could I would give more than 5 stars!

Amazing dealership! John is a top bloke, very knowledgeable and generous guy that will go out his way to help you. Great cars too, just picked up one off him and couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience with Avante cars when buying my first car. John helped me through the entire process and even sorted a few bits n bobs on the car for me when he noticed them. When first viewing my car we noticed a pretty big scratch on the driver side which John happily sorted for me with a respray and now you couldn't tell there was a scratch to begin with. Very happy with my car will be returning to buy future cars

Bought my van off John at Avante cars, had a few minor issues with it and I had taken it back. John had absolutely no problems whatsoever with getting things sorted out for me, was extremely helpful and nothing was any bother. If I was looking for a used car in central Scotland Avante cars would be where I was heading. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again in the future.

I purchased a Ford Fusion on the 07th February , I am very happy with the car, there was no pressure to purchase, John was great from start to finish. I would highly recommend Avante cars to anyone looking to buy a car and would revisit for my next car.

Bought a vauxhall zafira from John a few days ago and it wasn't the usual car salesman patter ( I'm your best pal, buy a car off me )!

Mondeo Titanium X Sport

I looked for one of these cars for long enough and found one five miles from home at Avante Cars.

John gave me a fair price in my part exchange and the new car I bought drives amazing with no issues.

It came with a new mot and was professionally valeted inside and out.

I’ll definitely be back when I need a new car.

Great experience with Avante cars.

My experience with Avante cars was excellent. The salesman was very helpful and there was no pressure whatsoever. I bought a VW Passat with which I'm extremely happy with and nothing was too much trouble. I was given a more than fair trade in price for my Volvo V50 and picked up my new car within 2 days of viewing. Would most definitely recommend Avante cars and use them again.

Don’t drive past Avente Cars!

From the initial phone call I knew I was dealing with a honest, friendly and professional garage. This continued throughout even after purchased the car. Pleasure to deal with.

1st class service

This is the second time using them would deffinetly recommend my most recent purchase was a touareg had a small issue with one of the coolant pipes and this was very quickly resolved by John and the guys who ordered the parts and got me back on the road a common issue with these cars genuine garage not your back street rip off keep up the work

Got a 2005 peugeot 307, with a low mileage just under 3 weeks ago, it's been a great runner so far ☺️. I really needed a car quickly as the previous car I had (which I'd only had for a few weeks) was crashed into the back of, and insurance wrote it of as a total loss.

John put the peugeot through for MOT and it initially failed, however he got everything fixed and put it back through so I've got a years MOT. He was a lovely guy to deal with, not at all pushy, and kept me in the loop with updates about how the car was coming along. Would definitely recommend giving here a try 👍

Bought a car here almost a year ago and had a great experience. John helped me out over the last few months when it was time for an mot and service. Let me use his contacts so I could get a fair price and not get ripped off. Added bonus is that the car has went up in value and is actually worth £2000 more than what I paid for it initially 😆.
Stuart Kennedy, 02 Feb 2022
 
Just bought a car from John. It was a great experience, he was very friendly with no pressure to buy. The car was freshly MOT'd, serviced and looked great when we collected it. He gave a very fair trade in price for my old car too. Would definitely recommend.

Bought 3 cars from this dealer now, new premises look amazing and so much more choice.

I always get a great deal and the cars are always well presented. The salesman John is professional and fair, I've never had any problems with him and I've been buying from him for 4 years now.

Looking forward to the next purchase. Cheers.

Bought a used car for my son first car about a month ago and had a small issues with it but Avante garage was trying their best to sort it out for us which I feel good about this garage.John is a honest and relax salesman and the mechanic Graham has been very helpful and polite also explained very well to me about the problems and we are very appreciated they way they run the business as they do take care of their customers unless you have asked more than what it should be done or beyond they can reach. Will be back in the future as we feel safe to buy car in here and we have been treated as the way it should be.
