Lawrence is a true steward of his craft — and I felt stewarded every step of the way. His approach, built on years of experience, combines meticulous detail, integrity, and genuine care. The result is not just a transaction, but a guided journey where you always feel confident and at ease. Another quality that sets Lawrence apart is the way he shoulders the complexity for you, turning what could be daunting into something seamless. He is patient, transparent, and utterly reliable, with an instinct for excellence that only deep experience brings. His due diligence and clear communication gave me complete peace of mind and were instrumental to our project's success.

Lawrence provided an excellent service at a reasonable price. We met where he personally appraised the car, then kept me up to date on sale progress before meeting with him and the buyer to complete the sale. His expertise, client focussed compassion and professionalism were clear. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.

Am a new driver in uk needed a second hand car urgently. Since we have no experience in cars or mechanics i approached Lawrence after seeing his google reviews and so v thankful we did! He is extremely professional punctual and caters to the best interest of client under any circumstances! He took time to locate a car matching my pricing with his idea of the best car and reliable dealer. Whenever we tried to point out some cars Lawrence patiently explained what was wrong with each and continuously directed us to the right choice. I finally bought a Yaris in v good condition on his recommendation. Very happy with my car and can’t recommend Lawrence enough! He has extensive experience and knowledge and right connections in auto industry. He inspects the car personally and sends a very detailed report which can be used as a future reference of the car in question. He is also a gentleman to the core and it was a pleasure to deal with him. Highly recommend!!

Lawrence advised me on purchasing my latest car and was absolutely faultless, I was amazed with the care and service he provided. He made himself very available to go above-and-beyond when it came to helping me understand the buying process, every factor to consider when making a purchase, and armed me with a wealth of knowledge and research so that I felt confident with car I chose. There's a lot of things I wouldn't have spotted or considered if it weren't for his efforts, and it helped me secure a much better deal. I wouldn't ever want to navigate the car industry and make a purchase without Lawrence's help. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone.

I was recommended to Lawrence Smith by a very old and dear friend Dilip Patel. engaging Lawrence to source a car for me was exceptional at every level, the personal one to one service that went above and beyond my expectations. From the initial consultation, Lawrence took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences. His incredibly knowledge about various makes and models, and his expertise helped reassure me that I was in safe hands. What truly stood out was his patience and willingness to answer all of my questions, ensuring I felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. Lawrence worked tirelessly to locate the best options within my budget and provided valuable insights on the vehicle performance and features as well as future government legislation on various models (i.e. diesel-based vehicles) which may affect the resell. His dedication to customer satisfaction was evident in every interaction and his transparency on all aspects of purchasing a vehicle. I would highly recommend Lawrence to anyone in need of a car consultant. His exceptional personal service, combined with his extensive knowledge and genuine care for his clients, sets him apart in the car sales industry. Thank you, Lawrence for your professional and very personal service.

Well what can we say. Lawrence Smith has excelled himself yet again. We have just purchased our 5th & 6th cars from him and his attention to detail and professionalism is exactly the same as it was when we purchased our 1st car from him over 10 years ago. If you are looking to buy a car look no further than Lawrence. People buy from people and Lawrence is someone we highly recommend and trust.

This is the 2nd occasion that we have engaged Lawrence to source us a car. On both occasions we were in Australia returning to the UK. Lawrence makes everything very easy, I really respect his opinion and advice. Lawrence provided advice on the type of car he would recommend based on our requirements and budget. He somehow manages to source cars with low mileage and provides a personal service, inspecting the car and providing videos for us of the car. For the latest car, Lawrence inspected and pointed out some tiny imperfections and a couple of tiny dents, he then negotiated with the dealer to have them carry out a smart repair and a full valet, if I am honest this is probably something that we would not have negotiated if we were buying the car ourselves. Lawrence goes the extra mile to ensure we had the best quality car at the best price. I have no hesitation in recommending Lawrence, we were referred by a friend and I would certainly encourage my friends to use him. No questions are too silly for Lawrence he takes time to ensure his clients are happy. Thank you Lawrence for your services. Errol & Helen

My experience could not have been better. I thought I knew my cars, I thought I knew the market, I thought I knew the system, I didn't appreciate the importance of timing. Lawrence is the best I have ever come across and worked with. The result is my perfect car at 10% below what I expected to pay, a fun and exciting process with outstanding comms and attention to detail throughout. No brainer, I encourage you to work with Lawrence whatever your needs and at whatever level (determining the best car for you against your needs is a key service). Simply outstanding.

This is the second time I have turned to Lawrence to help me find my dream car. Both times I have given Lawrence the spec I am looking for and he has gone above and beyond to source this. No matter what the budget, he is extremely thorough with high standards and communicates well at every stage of the process. I have absolutely no qualms in putting my full trust in Lawrence who is able to navigate this world much better than I can!

The most assured and at ease you can possible feel about an investment involving as much capital as a car. Lawrence sets the standard in sourcing and selling only the finest examples of motor vehicles - with the history and provenance laid out for you to see. I cannot recommend Lawrence's services highly enough and would suggest if you're not sourcing your next car through Lawrence, you're probably buying the wrong car. A true gentleman in and industry that can otherwise be difficult to navigate in.

Lawrence Smith is the kind of person likely to give "car traders" a good name, and so spoil a perfectly good stereotype! I can not speak highly enough of Lawrence; his attention to detail and perseverance when going in to bat for his customer (me) has been legendary. Thoroughly professional at all times, and always, always willing to go the extra mile to achieve satisfaction. Thank you, Lawrence.

Lawrence helped me source my dream car when I moved from Australia to the UK. His passion for cars and his attention to detail are second to none. At all times throughout the process Lawrence's communication was prompt and detailed which made the process of buying a car from abroad relatively stress free. I could not recommend his services more highly and will definitely use them again should I be looking for another vehicle. Thanks Lawrence!

Excellent experience buying from Lawrence, an enthusiast and gentleman. Great attention to detail and a very straightforward buying experience, highly recommended. The car is excellent and was immaculately prepared and presented, I wouldn't hesitate to go back for my next purchase though I think the GR will be a keeper!

Lawrence helped us buy a new car and get rid of our old one, which had a few problems. Mark and I were delighted with the service we received from him from start to finish. He is knowledgeable, reliable and polite, and it was great to be able to have our needs met by someone far more expert than ourselves in all things car-related - it was a totally stress-free experience, and worth every penny.

Fantastic experience of buying my new car with Lawrence's help. I searched for someone to help navigate the various things I wasn't sure about in buying a car and everything went so smoothly. Narrowed down between makes, models and then 3 options of the chosen car, him visiting the car & finally collecting me from the station, it made the process totally enjoyable and confident in making the right decision. Would recommend to anyone.
