Best Car Buying Experience I’ve Ever Had! I recently bought a car from Underwoods in Clacton and had such a great experience that I had to share it. Glyn was absolutely amazing, a true professional, but also genuinely friendly and funny, which made the whole process so enjoyable. I’ve honestly never had so much fun buying a car! He made me feel completely comfortable from start to finish, explained everything so clearly, and there was absolutely no pressure at any point. He really listened to what I needed and made sure I ended up with the perfect car for me. What really stood out was the personal touch, he even took the time to set the car up for me, pairing my phone and tuning in my favourite radio stations. I love my new car and I’m so glad I had the chance to deal with Glyn. I wouldn’t go anywhere else – Underwoods are the best!

Had to sort Service & MOT which was complimentary with purchase of vehicle from Ipswich Marshall. Unfortunately Ipswich Marshall bought out by Drive who didn't want to help out in any way as car was on a EMAC system (?). Underwoods Clacton were very helpful to book vehicle in for service and mot & look forward to seeing them at appointment.

Having purchased a Mokka car from David some 11 years ago I decided it was time for a replacement. To my amazement David was still there, we agreed a good price on a cracking car and the deal went very smoothly…David is a very nice knowledgeable and fair guy. Picked up the car today and I am very happy. Thanks David and Underwoods.

Nicola Sears (March 2026) - Sudbury - Facebook Recommendation 5/5


I have to say that I was very impressed by the efficiency, politeness and helpful advice from first making contact with the Sudbury team. Communication was very good so I knew what would be happening and a suitable appointment was arranged so the service and bodywork could happen on same day. I was greeted warmly and efficiently on the day and the car was ready for collection within the time frame quoted. A positive experience Thank you.

Efficient, helpful, friendly and professional service. Very helpful and thorough. Explained everything in detail with no pressure to commit to optional extras. 2 follow up phone calls offering their help if I was struggling to understand anything to do with the car and tech. Very efficient and friendly. Would definitely recommend Underwoods of Tiptree, in particular David who dealt with my car purchase and part exchange, to friends and family etc.

Stephen Bonnick (March 2026) - Sudbury branch - Autotrader via Feefo 5/5


Consistent quality of service over many years. I have used Underwoods of Tiptree for 15+years and have just bought my third Vauxhall Corsa from them. Staff have always been friendly and competent and it has always been very easy to arrange servicing / MOTs. I have never had any issues with work they have carried out for me. As usual the sales team, and those working behind the scenes, ensured my latest car was ready for collection as arranged.

Purchased my first EV at Underwoods, Tiptree and had a fantastic, hassle free, informative and friendly experience with Dave, who sold me the car. Absolutely love the car so much, my wife is now jealous of my newly found beauty, which was presented on time and in perfect order. Highly recommended. Well done Underwoods, you nailed it!

★★★★★

Brinley Powell (March 2026) - Tiptree - Google Review 5/5


We spoke with David regarding a Hyundai advertised on the Underwoods site. David was approachable and clearly described the model, including advantages and the disadvantages. My wife was also considering a part exchange. Without any hard selling, David understood her requirements and suggested a Vauxhall Corsa. Test drives were booked without any problems and times agreed to return and complete the necessary paperwork. The whole process was transparent and fully explained. David has since made contact regarding our purchases and was open for any follow up or questions. Would recommend Underwoods and will definitely purchase our next vehicle from them.

Aimee (February 2026) - Sudbury - Google Review 5/5


Following a minor collision in the supermarket car park, instead of going to the Skoda main dealer we normally use, we decided to try Underwoods in Sudbury. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by friendly staff who arranged a next-day assessment and gave us a quote for the bodywork, which we accepted. The workshop facilities looked modern and clean and the job was executed within a couple of days of our first enquiry. Steve and his team did an excellent job on the bodywork, taking out another, unrelated blemish at no extra cost, and the car was returned spotlessly clean. We shall be back!

Simple and easy transaction. Would recommend.

I don’t usually leave reviews but in this case wanted to make it known about the exceptionally good service I received from David at Underwoods Tiptree when purchasing my new car recently. David made the whole process pleasant, enjoyable and easy. He is a genuinely friendly gentleman, not at all pushy, just incredibly helpful and patient. I love my new Vauxhall Mokka and want to say a big thank you to David for his help and advice before, during and after my purchase.
