Mini JCW

A great experience from viewing to collection day. Garry is clearly passionate and enthusiastic about the cars he sells, giving advice and further evolving my new JCW to my specification. I have dealt with very high end dealers in the past and can confidently say they could learn a thing or two from his customer approach and care. I would have no hesitation recommending Garry for your next purchase. One very happy JCW owner.

MINI JCW

Best Mini John Cooper Works I have seen!
Found Storm when I was browsing the net for a JCW.
There is nothing out there that even comes close to the quality, spec and standard of the minis stocked in Storm.
Garry is attentive, professional and very straight forward, there is not any messing around and his aim is to get you the mini that you want and need!
I would recommend Garry and Storm to anyone that wants a mini that is a cut above the rest.
I drove a 320 mile round trip to get my car, that's how good the cars are at Storm.
Was nice to have a look at the other cars in stock and meet Garry too!

Excellent car buying experience
Garry truly has a passion and love for the cars he buys and sells. The preparation of all his vehicles is superb. He is the most friendliest but professional person I have had the pleasure to do business with. I am so pleased I bought my JCW Clubman from him.
Communication from the very start was fantastic and the whole experience went very smoothly.
Great coffee too.
Thank you Garry 😊

Audi RS4 Avant

I had a great experience buying a car from Gary at Storm. All aspects of the deal were seamless, nothing was too much trouble. It's also clear immediately after meeting Gary that he's super passionate about his cars, which is what you want when you're in the market for a specialist motor. I would recommend Storm and Gary to anyone looking for their next car.

Professional and knowledgeable with a genuine passion for what he does
Garry was an absolute pleasure dealing with from the very beginning, you could tell he has a genuine passion for what he does and it shows it the level of service he provides for you.

Garry made the whole experience extremely pleasant and went above and beyond to make sure he delivered top quality service.

I would highly recommend Garry at Storm and will recommend him to friends and family.

If you are looking for a used car dealership that is reliable and trustworthy then contact Garry. Extremely professional and genuine guy who was helpful right from the initial enquiry - Excellent service and attention to detail - absolutely beautiful setting, just a shame the coffee shop was closed when we collected the car! :)

It’s a pleasure to find a dealer who’s so passionate about the cars he sells. Garry walked me through the whole process and made it as easy as possible to get the deal done. Anyone who’s looking for a great car coupled with a great, helpful dealer should look no further than Storm of Leicester.

Mini GP2

I purchased a GP2 from Garry at Storm of Leicester and what an enjoyable experience it was. Garry creates a relaxed viewing / buying experience, and takes a lot of pride in the cars he sources and the level at which he prepares them. For anyone looking for something special, I'd recommend checking out Storm.

We all need someone like Garry!
Storm have been 10/10 honestly the experience I have had I don't think can be beaten by any other dealership. Garry kept me in the loop from beginning to the end of my process and collected my new car same week! Everything was explained in detail and all my questions answered. I've now made a new friend and will definitely do business again in the future!

GP2

If Carlsberg did car sales then this would be it. They don't but Gary does!
I have just purchased an immaculate Mini Cooper JCW GP2 from Gary and it was quite simply the best car buying experience I have had. I am a huge petrol head and Gary is very clear the same. He spent a lot of time on the phone with me going over things and just having a general chat about cars. There was no pushy sales and no rushing anything. It was a very personal experience and he made the whole process absolutely pain free. The car is absolutely flawless and every bit as good as he described it to me. I am genuinely over-the-moon and I won't hesitate to recommend him to anyone and I'll certainly be contacting when I'm looking for my next car.

Just sold my JCW F56 to Garry. Garry was very nice to deal with and genuine nice person. There was no mucking about, nice and direct. Would definitely deal with him again, and will be checking his stock when its time to get a new car as well. The person who collected the car, Richard from Apollo, was also really friendly and great to chat to. Sorry for being such a tight @rse and not washing it before it was collected Garry.

BMW M2 Competition

Bought this gorgeous M2 competition from Gary at Storm of Leicester, process was easy and simple throughout. I quickly realised Gary is a true car enthusiast, us fellow enthusiasts know how much we care about our cars and what better person to buy a car off than someone who cares just as much as you do!

Bought this stunning RS4 from Garry at Storm & the service was second to none from day one to after service.Garry took time out to do a personalised video for me & sent it to my phone (which I'll be honest more or less sold it for me) but the excellent service didn't stop there Garry made the process easy throughout even doing my tax for me & helping me out with my insurance.I cannot recommend this dealership enough.Had a laugh,a man chat & a brew...the most relaxed I've ever been buying a car...this is how car buying should be.
I definitely hope to be car shopping with you again

What can I say but superb customer service. Garry was the most pleasant car dealer I have ever had the pleasure in dealing with, I was purchasing a car blind that I couldn’t see due to work commitments which would have normally worried me but Garry described the car accurately was able to work with my busy work schedule looking after the car for me until it was suitable to take delivery. I hope I get the chance to deal with storm again. Pleasure doing business.

A pleasure to deal with you Garry, all the best for the future.

Audi TTRS

Having been on the look out for a Audi TTRS for some time but struggled to find the spec I wanted, I had seen one for sale on Storm of Leicester website which ticked all the boxes and when my partner initially phoned about it, I had just missed out by days. Garry took my partners details and said that should the sale not go through for any reason, he would be in touch. Amazingly a week later Garry, true to his word got in touch to say the car had become available again and the rest is history!
I have now just taken delivery of a beautiful Audi TTRS.
We were in our 3rd 'lockdown' at the time but Garry was fantastic in updating on progress by phone, email and with pictures. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The car was delivered on a trailer via contactless delivery - the car didn't disappoint.
Garry's customer service is second to none. This is the first time I have purchased a car without seeing or driving it and was extremely nervous about buying a car this way. I was put at ease by Garry and the car was exactly how Garry described, if not better. I cannot recommend him highly enough and would definitely hope to be able to use Garry again in the future.
Thank you so much Garry it was a first class service from start to finish and a pleasure dealing with you.

Audi TTS

Just want to say from the moment I spoke to Gary at Storm of Leicester, I felt at ease straight away we could of been friends for a long time. He went the extra mile and couldn’t of been more helpful if he tried. Nothing was to much trouble for Gary. I purchased an Audi TTS. Even on the day of collection the weather was not in my favour so Gary managed the delivery of the car the very next day. You are a true Gent Garry thanks for everything

Firstly, I'm not a great one for writing reviews, and secondly I'm well aware of all the fake reviews that are out there so I approach them with a degree of scepticism. This is a real review from a real customer motivated to write a comment by Garry's superb service.
If, like me, you're tired of the the 'usual' tricks of the motor trade then dealing with Garry is a breath of fresh air - he is the politest, most straight forwards, open, passionate, and considerate person you could ever wish to buy a car from.
The service he gave me from start to finish was so well-informed, attentive, and diligent that this guy deserves every success that comes his way.
If you are reading this and considering buying a car from Garry then all I can say is that you can do so with full confidence about a) the car b) the guy himself c) the service you will get and d) the confidence you get from dealing with someone with something so rare in car sales - professionalism.
Sorry about the length of the review but sometimes some things just need saying and it's only a 5 star review because that's all you can give, deserves more.

Mini JCW Auto

It’s not often that I feel the desire to leave a review regarding customer service, but on this occasion I feel compelled to!
From the moment I dropped a brief email to Garry at Storm expressing interest in an advertised mini hatch it was like chatting to an old friend. A brief exchange on pricing was followed with an arranged delivery via Steve Green Logistics (also very professional) - I was given live tracking the low-loader via live whatsApp.
Thank you both so much from a very happy customer.

Audi RS4 Convertible

I've been on the look out for a 'keeper' in the form of an RS4 convertible for several years but none quite reached the high bar i'd set. I found one at Storm of Leicester but sadly, had just been pipped to the post. Garry stayed in touched and managed to secure an identical version in the same colour combination and spec with an excellent history. We were in 'lockdown' at the time but Garry was superb in updating on progress by phone, email and with pictures. Having had a virtual handover video prior to despatch, the car was delivered on a trailer via contactless delivery. I'd been waiting several years for this moment and had set a very high bar on what I wanted - the car didn't disappoint.

Garry's eye for detail is superb, his customer service is some of the best i've experienced and he treats every car as if it were his own. This is the first time i've purchased a car without seeing or driving it but this was spot on to everything Garry described. Can't recommend him highly enough and will be using him to secure the next car - just won't be part exchanging this one!

Many thanks Garry - first class service from start to finish.

Alpina Roadster

I recently bought a fantastic car from Garry @ Storm Leicester. Having bought a few cars previously, I have to say that the service I received was superb. Garry had the knowledge and expertise of the vehicle that you would be lucky to find in a top marque dealership, but also his pre and after sales service were second to none. This was by far the best experience I have ever had buying a car and would not consider looking anywhere else until I have spoken to Storm of Leicester.
Also, I have to add that whilst my car was 16 years old, it was in new, showroom condition and friends and family have been astonished at the condition of the car. This is all down to Garry’s immense attention to detail and his drive to make buying a car from him an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much. I’ll be back.

Abarth 595 Competizione

I have nothing but great words for Garry at Storm Of Leicester. A very professional person with great customer service. He wouldn't release the car until he was 100% happy it was in tip top condition. As for the car itself, it is more than I expected and a joy to drive all the way over here in sunny Malta.
Many Thanks Garry and Storm of Leicester

BMW 218 Sports Tourer

Hi Garry,

Just wanted to compliment "Storm of Leicester", I purchased a BMW 218 Sports Tourer from you and i could not be more pleased with my purchase. The car was exceptionally clean and well maintained, your honest open approach meant we could have an great conversation about the history of the car as well as how Storm differentiate themselves from the traditional forecourt. I would recommend Storm of Leicester to anyone who is looking for an exceptional car.

Kindest Regards

A very happy customer from Kettering.

Dear Gary/Storm of Leicester

Just a quick email to say how happy I am with the car and your services,

Purchasing a car from over 3 hours away can be very stressful! You were very quickly to get back to me via calls and texts and it really helped with purchasing so far away.
Your set up is amazing! Coffee,Beer,Wine in a cabin different but still very professional.

I would return for another car, And would recommend you to anyone.

The BMW 135 really is in excellent condition as described and the price was brilliant.

Thanks very much.

One happy customer from north wales !

Abarth 595

In September 2019 I was fortunate enough to buy a beatiful red Abarth 595 from Gary at Storm of Leicester. I spotted the car in autotrader and it stood out as it was only 16 months old and had very low mileage. Upon interacting on the phone with Gary I found him very straightforward and personable and on the back of that took a massive leap of faith deciding to buy the car without even seeing it and have it delivered to me in London. I was not disappointed. The car was even more beautiful in the flesh than it was on the pictures and was virtually flawless. You hear scare stories about used cars but Gary definitely delivered what he promised. 6 months on still loving it and getting loads of compliments on it.

I would definitely recommend dealing with Storm of Leicester.


Best Regards

Hi Garry, I just want to say huge thanks for making my purchase an easy transition from start to handover.
I have Dealt with many super car dealers on a higher level so to say!! but you are unique in many ways.
Honest, genuine, passionate in each car!! I would recommend anyone looking for a car to approach Gary as he only sells rare clean tidy mint cars can’t say enough about him
I would blindly in the future leave a deposit as I have full trust in him and all his vehicles, it has been the best purchase experience ever out of many cars I have bought thanks..
