I spent hours searching for the right van and finally found one at GL Commercials, so I reserved it. When asked if I needed finance, I said no. Shortly after, I received an email asking if I was aware VAT would be added. There is no mention of VAT anywhere in the advert, so this came as a complete surprise. This feels misleading and has wasted my time, as I now have to start my search again from scratch. Very disappointed

On my search for a suitable van I came across GL Commercials who were by far the most helpful Van Dealer I had come across. They were very friendly and not pushy at all. I had searched far and wide and had not found what I was looking for at all. Other Dealers had tried to palm me off with a fast sale whereas Gavin at GL Commercials was prepared to spend time going over the finer details and making sure that I was happy with whatever vehicle I chose. He pointed out any flaws on any vehicle that may had a blemish or whatever and was totally honest about each vehicle I looked at. The test drive was no trouble at all and I ended up buying a great vehicle at a very reasonable price with a full MOT. Overall I was very impressed with the service I received and would recommend this company to anyone. Not only do they have a vast amount of stock but they are very attentive and look after their customers very well.

This company was a joy to work with from start to finish - not only was Maggie absolutely lovely to chat to, my van is such a great deal. They gave me a really long warranty, made buying super easy but also collected me from the station when I came to collect. Chris was super friendly and really insightful and the whole process was simple and left me feeling confident I had made the right choice.

I was very impressed with GL Commercials. They did exactly what they said they would do. Had a minor issue pointed out at the sale and this was resolved after sales very efficiently! Shout out to Maggie who dealt with everything very smoothly. Highly Recommend!

Reading all the reviews, will not be buying from here. Worst reviews I've read for a long time, and I'll heed everyone's advice and steer clear. Obviously bad reputation is self inflicted !

Further update …. Received an email saying can you call us , finally talked to a male after several attempts who said Maggie would get back to me ……. No such call . I’ve taken some great legal advice! **** UPDATE ……. Starting legal course of action , still no reply as of 22/06/25 Purchased a van in March. Within weeks I had it serviced myself despite purchasing it with a service and MOT . The service I had done picked up multiple faults including break discs worn away , illegal spare tyre , cloudy break fluid , battery failed test plus more - my bill was around \xa31700 !!! The faults were verified by two separate garages. I sent an email prior to carrying out the repairs - no reply. I sent another email- no reply I sent a recorded delivery letter- no reply The warranty they sold us covered a part payment for the battery of \xa390. The rest was seen as “ normal wear and tear “ so not covered. The MOT was passed with not even an advisory, at its most generous the brakes should have had an advisory at its worse it should not have passed. As for it being serviced upon sale it had barely any break fluid ! By rights I should have been able to drive this vehicle away and not worry about it , safe and sound in the knowledge it had just passed an MOT and had been serviced. I’m self employed and had already paid out for the van to be ply , lined etc otherwise I’d have taken it back. I lost days at work taking the vehicle to the garage to be repaired. Due to my receiving no reply from the company despite prove of letters and emails I have sadly decided to leave this review and seek legal assistance to resolve this matter. My advise, take your own mechanic to inspect any vehicle your interested in, I trusted an MOT and service and have been left very much out of pocket.

Regrettably we have bought, two vans from GL over the last years, the most recent being only a couple of weeks ago. We paid full price for the van, no negotiating as we extracted a decent vehicle with no issues. That being said we understand that issues happen and after care service is critical for an ongoing business. Sadly however the after care service is slow, argumentative, unhelpful as such we have had to now go to the manufacturer to get an independent report on the vehicle and the problems we have encountered. We will not be buying future fleet vans from GL.
