Adam was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. His honesty and passion for his business was so evident. I travelled from Ireland to purchase the car with confidence after a few phone calls and a video call from Adam. I would recommend Salvatore Performance to anyone. Thank you Adam for a great car and a pleasurable experience.

Had such a genuinely excellent experience. Selling the car during a difficult time as it was on behalf of my late mum and Adam and his team could not have made the process simpler and yet were so compassionate and patient. Everything was dealt with professionally and the transaction and paperwork was all completed as they said it would be. Super grateful and will be using them directly if I’m needing to sell in the future. Thanks to the team

I was interested in buying a second hand Corsa I saw on Autotrader, and from the first enquiry to purchase and delivery, Adam has been great. He answered all of my questions, booked a really prompt viewing, allowed me plenty of time to view and mess with the car, and took it on a good test drive. His calm demeanor, honesty and integrity is exceptional, and it really didn't feel like I was being sold to, because the car and price sold itself. After a few negative car viewings, this was a breath of fresh air. Thank you for being so accommodating, and for the new car!

Adam offers a great service, after going to multiple car viewings he made me feel at ease with his laid back approach. You can tell he cares about the quality of cars he sells, making sure they've been well maintained. He was also the only person that left us alone with car so we could speak without anyone looming close by. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a vehicle at a good price whilst being offered a great service.

I was looking for a Ferrari California in mainland UK to take back to my holiday home in Spain.. I spoke at length with Salvatore and we came to an agreement on a blue one they had in stock.. so far the car has not skipped a beat and has been a joy to own

I follow the Salvatore Tiktok page and noticed they sell quite a few Land Rover Defenders. The one I enquired about had sold by the time I got in touch. Salvatore was super helpful in sourcing a similar spec and lower miles so was very pleased despite having to wait a little

Been knowing them for years, amazing and professional services. They are the ones that you can trust. Had great experience with them. Highly recommended.

On 29th September, I commenced my very unhappy car purchase journey with Salvatore Performance.

I write this review to warn potential buyers, that I have found this business to be far from reputable and all the assurances on their web site to be marketing ‘words alone’, as the subsequent actions to resolve a fault that was present at the time of purchase have been totally unsatisfactory and his responses nothing else other than dismissive. It has now cost me over £2700 to rectify.

So, my Jaguar was supplied to me with a failed battery, and a badly leaking and failing differential (not evident at the time of purchase).

Salvatore resolved the battery issue. However, the two previous MOT’s specifically warned of oil escaping from the differential (on 24/01/24 and 03/02/25), and he assured me that it had been serviced since those findings. I looked under the car in October, and found blackening in the underside rear end exhaust. I brought this to Salvatore’s attention, and he responded that it was likely an exhaust bracket. (I am no mechanic, and I foolishly accepted his word)

2 months later, I was making a longer journey when I noticed an increasingly loud whining from the rear end, and so I drove it to my local Jaguar Specialist in Kent, who advised me that the differential had completely failed and that I should stop driving immediately.

I advised Salvatore on 10th December and sent the garage report a few days later. His response was that I should take it away from the JLR Specialist. and leave it on his driveway in an Uxbridge housing estate on 29th January for him to investigate. I was offered no indication that he would rectify the fault, and he offered no recovery to transport it there (from Kent), and he offered no courtesy car for the 6 week period. A classic fob-off in my experience, and one that I felt would just add more and more to my inevitable bill. As such, I instructed my local Jaguar specialist to replace the differential at a cost of £2733 (the crown wheel had shattered, likely due to lack of oil).

I have written to him twice, and I have had one response advising me he refuses to compensate me for my repair cost, with several completely ridiculous excuses for justification.

Salvatore’s web site states:
“All vehicles come with a comprehensive 3 month engine and gearbox warranty”
“Each client is treated with integrity, honesty and professionalism”
“We have extremely high standards “
“All servicing and checks is carried out independently. This ensures that the maintenance of our cars is carried out to the highest manufacturer standards”

I have found NONE OF THESE CLAIMS TO BE TRUE

I really urge any potential buyers to be extremely cautious about trusting this car dealer. I did, and it has cost me a great deal that I will now have to recover through SMALL CLAIMS COURT

I bought a Land Rover defender from Adam. He was a lovely gentleman not to pushy and great service from him.The car I bought was amazing with full Land Rover service history and a very clean example. I personally myself highly recommended this company and I will definitely buy from this company again.

I am writing this review to correct repeated misinformation published by this dealer in response to my previous reviews.

Despite their continued attempts to discredit me, the core facts have never changed, and I will restate them clearly and calmly:

1. The seat defect was reported immediately
I first reported the driver’s seat issue on 14 March, six days after purchase — not “two months later” and not in May. I have written evidence of this. Repeating an incorrect timeline does not make it true.

2. The seat was not “minor wear”
The driver’s seat was structurally broken and had been freshly glued together to conceal the damage. This was confirmed once inspected. It was not repairable and required replacement at significant cost. This is not cosmetic wear and tear — it is a concealed defect present at sale.

3. Additional faults were later discovered
After professional servicing, further issues surfaced that were not disclosed at the time of sale. These faults were not obvious on casual inspection, reinforcing my concern that problems were actively concealed, not missed.

4. The “father verification” story is false
My father did not verify the car, did not contact Mercedes-Benz Head Office, and had no involvement in the purchase decision. This claim has been repeated publicly by the dealer despite being untrue.

5. Mileage after purchase is irrelevant
The number of miles driven after purchase does not change the fact that defects existed at the point of sale and were reported immediately. Attempting to shift focus to mileage is a distraction from the original issue.

6. Pattern of deflection
Rather than addressing the defect itself, every response focuses on paperwork, mileage, tone policing, and repeated accusations — while avoiding the simple question:
Why was a broken, glued-together seat sold without disclosure?

I am posting this so future buyers can make an informed decision. I stand by my reviews and can substantiate my claims if required. I will not be engaging further

I had a very pleasant experience with my car purchase. I had a few niggly bits post sale and Salvatore sorted everything quite swiftly

Really great experience buying an Audi A5 from Adam. Even though it was a cheaper vehicle than their usual stock, he still took the time to find out all it's history, clean and service it. He was flexible with my appointment and encouraged me to have a proper test drive of the vehicle.

Very happy with the car, thanks!

Excellent service throughout the entire process. The car was exactly as described, communication was clear and honest, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. They were professional, helpful, and made the whole experience stress-free. I highly recommend Salvatore Performance to anyone looking to buy a car.

Adam was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Offered a really competitive price, went above and beyond to ensure a smooth transaction and is genuinely someone I would trust again. To be fair, my next car will definitely be sourced by him.

Cheers Adam

Adam at Salvatore Performance was extremely helpful, well-mannered, honest and very patient. I have yet to come across a dealer who I can confidently say I can buy from blindly. I travelled 4 hours to see this car and meet Adam, had I met Adam before the journey, I would have purchased and arranged delivery without the need to inspect or test drive the car. That should tell you everything about this company, how they operate and how much of an honest gentleman Adam is. 5* does not do this company or Adam justice, we need 100*.

Very happy with my new car purchase today, very reliable great at communication and very friendly. Will definitely come back in the future to look at other vehicles

Imagine your clutch dies and you are left having a mechanical AND mental breakdown.

This is after emerging from an 11 year relationship so you are already in tatters.

So you opt to buy yourself something special to alleviate your angst. Cue Adam, who was super -helpful and offered much-needed advice when purchasing my new car.

Adam is a knowledgeable person and went the extra mile to help me put. A very professional and slick company with family-run values. Would highly recommend. Thank you, Adam.

P.s. the car is an absolute WEAPON!

The experience was impeccable, hands on and face to face discussion about anything for a car enthusiast, went to pick up a luxury sports car and they were determined 'i love' the car before I purchased the car and boy oh boy did they make me fall in love. A happy owner of a Maserati, in love with my.purchase thanks to the lads.

Seamless experience from start to finish! Great customer service and attention to detail. Will definitely use again - we walked away very happy!

I had called regarding a Mini John Cooper Works which was unfortunately sold by the time I made contact. However, I had a really good conversation with Salvatore on the phone and got a good vibe.. 3 weeks later.. they had sourced me another JCW which is in phenomenal condition. Thanks v much. Very pleased with my sourcing experience!
