I had an outstanding experience with Christopher James Automotive from start to finish. There was absolutely no pressure at any point, which made the whole process relaxed and enjoyable. Chris took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and was more than happy to source a vehicle tailored to my specific requirements.
What truly set them apart was their commitment to ensuring I received the best possible value for money. Everything was handled with honesty, professionalism, and genuine care. It never felt like they were just trying to make a sale — their priority was clearly finding the right car.
The entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. I couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a trustworthy and customer-focused car buying experience. Will definitely be returning in the future!

My wife and I just purchased a lovely Mini Challenge 210 from Chris, and what a pleasure it was.
Chris was great to do business with, and the car was presented beautifully.
Many thanks.

Ford Focus ST-2
Myself and my dad travelled down from Scarborough to view and collect a Focus ST from Chris and what an absolute pleasure it was. Upon arrival the car was pristine, not scuff or even a spec of dust, Chris was very professional and took great pride in the car and rightfully so. backed by genuine full dealer service history the car is a credit to both him and the previous owner. being in the motor Trade Myself I can confidently say CJA is the best independent dealership I've ever visited, thanks Chris!

Amazing - 5 Stars isn’t enough!
The best transaction I have ever completed when buying a car. Chris was totally honest during the whole process (unusual for a car dealer!) pleasant to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. He even sorted out a new number plate because the spacing was uneven on the plate on the front of the car. The car itself is amazing, the work that must have gone into the detailing is incredible - it was presented in top notch showroom condition. I really cannot say enough good things about this dealer, brilliant!
I would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again.
Thank you Chris, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with you.

My dad recently purchased a car through Chris and he is over the moon with it. The car was presented very well and Chris was very easy to deal with. The car after a few days showed a fault with the clutch master cylinder.(common fault) Chris organised a new genuine part to be fitted instantly and dad is really happy there were no delays. Aftersales are always a good test to how good a company is I think. I would not hesitate to recommend Christopher James to anybody looking for a used car. Thanks again.
