We were looking for a small quality diesel and had narrowed our choice to either a VW Polo TDI or Renault Clio dTi / dCi. After many miles and weeks we had been consistently dissapointed at all the Polos we had seen; all needed valeting, were generally odourous and had small problems that hinted at cars that the owner / seller wasn't proud of - not what you'd expect of a VW or its owner. One Polo we looked at was potentially the deal of the century but initial inspection revealed serious problems with the engine mountings which the seller offered to investigate whilst holding the car. The following morning he'd sold the car to someone else. Enter George Gibson Car Sales! Here is a man who does things the old fashioned way - the honourable way! At last! On enquiring about the Renault Clio dTi he had, he was both helpful and amiable on the 'phone. His premises is in the middle of nowhere but worth the visit. His cars were clean, the insides were immaculate and his garage operation as well oiled as Redline Synthetic. It was a joy to see a business so neatly run and everything so clean, tidy and organised. Further to that, there was no music blaring, rather the peace of the countryside as one looked at the car.

A very fair deal was done and we're very happy. Thank you George.
Advantages: Very helpful Disadvantages: None, but probably not ideal for customers living a long way away.
...received them as trade-ins. George Gibson Car Sales is a good place to go if you want a car which is just a little older than those which the large dealers like to sell, but still in good condition.
I have not visited his premises, which are in deepest Lanarkshire. Easy enough to get to from Glasgow if you already have a car, but mine was off the road. However you can see his current stock on his website at www.gibsoncarsales.co.uk where you can ... ...included: Arranging a test drive - he brought the car to my house. Package contents - the car (obviously), fully serviced, delivered, 3 month guarantee from independent insurer, 6 months tax, about 3 months MOT (now retested with no major problems), and documentary evidence that the car was legally OK (no outstanding finance or other problems likely to lead to repossession).
He also removed my old car for me, saving me the hassle of disposing of ...

Quick review of George Gibson Car Sales
A pleasure to do business with George Gibson. He has a small range of cars available but only sells cars he feels happy with. He seemed to be open and honest. His premises are immaculate and a good test drive is offered.
George noticed a small noise on our test drive that we missed. He replaced a wheel bearing that was beginning to wear.
The price was very fair according to Parkers and the car was valeted and in immaculate condition on collection. George provided an HP check for the car to reassure us that there was no outstanding finance or other problems with the car.
I'd happily recommend this company and will be heading back there next time I need a used car. ...
