      Brought a 2014 Corsa from John in November 2025. John explained everything, gave me time to look around car, test drive for as long as I wanted. Car came with 3 month warranty. I had a problem a few weeks after purchase, where I unfortunately broke down, but this could have happened to anyone and would not have been something John would have known about. I contacted John he was super helpful and came to my home and fixed it on the weekend. He also topped up my petrol when taking car to workshop to fix. Amazing friendly service and best used car dealer I've dealt with. Would not hesitate to get a new car from John in future.

      I bought a 2009 Vauxhall Corsa from Zanom Ltd and had a great experience from start to finish. John was extremely helpful, giving me a thorough run-through of the car, delivering it to me for a test drive and happily answering questions I had a few days later. Really friendly, professional service and John has a great manner — easy to deal with and very reassuring. Highly recommend.

    • Scott Jaycock

      Just bought my sons first car from Zanom Automotive. Great experience from start to finish, not hassled or pressured and John was very friendly and happy to tell me about the car and what things may need doing. Paid a deposit and I was offered the option of delivery which saved me a lot of hassle and was much appreciated. The whole process was easy and friendly. I would have no problem recommending Zanom to anyone looking to buy a car.

      We bought a used car from Zanom Automotive about a month ago and we had a great experience. The seller was easy to talk to, told us what's been done to the car by him and what bit may need some attention. We've had no issues with the car. 10/10 for overall quality!
