Great service from a fantastic, friendly team! They've now arranged two new cars for me and I'm sure I'll be back again for a third. Happy Driver 🙂 Sophie Shotter3 November 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From start to finish leasing my car through The Car Network was a fantastic experience. Jo and Lesley were incredibly supportive, keeping me informed every step of the way. They provided clear, comprehensive costings on a range of high-spec models, which really helped me make an informed decision. Their thoroughness extended to every detail, including all the information I needed to organise insurance and prepare for the car’s arrival. They also made the return of my previous lease vehicle seamless, making sure I knew exactly what steps to take beforehand. Their communication was excellent throughout the process, which gave me peace of mind and made everything easy. I highly recommend The Car Network for anyone looking for a well-managed, stress-free leasing experience Barry Baker21 October 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been a Car Network customer now for my last three cars. Lesley and Jo are the most helpful people, they go the extra mile, and they strive to find the best car at the best price.

Really pleased with The Car Network. I needed a new car in a hurry because my lease wasn't being renewed and Jo and Lesley were very quick to get something sorted. They gave me a couple of options that were available immediately and got everything processed well in time so I was never without a car. Superb service, really glad I used them!

“I call her The Car Lady, because whenever and whatever I need, when it comes to cars she sorts it out brilliantly – from modest economical run-arounds to top-of-the-range Mercedes and BMWs. It can cost a lot less than you expect to lease a car.”

Nigel Botterill
Founder, Entrepreneurs Circle
“Thank you again Lesley for sorting out the new car. The whole process was completely painless, you provided information on some great deals and the car we have ended up with is fabulous – my sales guy is truly over the moon with it!”

Rachel Astley

Leasing the right car is always a massive decision, so when you find a helpful team who you know genuinely cares about you (as a person and customer) it is priceless. I loved my experience with Lesley and her team over the last three years and highly recommend them to anyone.

Always a pleasure to work with The Car Network. Lesley helps me understand my options and takes the hassle out of arranging a new car. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Lesley, has been our “go to” person for some years now and each time she reminds us why we still do.
Her service is quick, efficient and very knowledgeable and she never fails to find us what we are looking for at the right price.

“Lesley, I wanted to say ‘thank you’ for your talk and also for the synchrostic ‘mirroring’ of our messages!! It was a really inspiring talk – not just because of the useful tips – but because you authentically showed that it is possible to incorporate what is important to us into what we do – even if it doesn’t immediately appear possible. Oh – and by the way – Tracey and I are walking whilst having a 1 -2- 1 in a couple of weeks time!”
