Testimonials

I recently purchased a Volvo 360 GLT from Darrell. I was very pleased with the quality, service and help given during the buying process. The car has just recently been MOT'd and passed with no advisories.

Darrel Denning is through and through a Volvo man who I found to be open and honest man and easy to deal with.
If your'e looking for a classic Volvo look no further than Genuine Cars of Wellington.

Highly recommend Darrell and Genuine cars. Darrell was a pleasure to deal with, friendly, honest and genuine. He let us put a refundable deposit down to reserve the car as we weren’t local. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The car is immaculate considering its age and my son is very pleased with it. Don’t hesitate buying a car from here. Thank you so much Darrell!

Having contacted Darrell on the off chance via email asking potential availability of a 240 wagon, it was a delightful surprise to learn he was preparing one that hadn’t yet be advertised. With excellent communication we were able to plan a viewing and test drive resulting in me leaving a deposit knowing I wouldn’t find better elsewhere. Darrell has been the most genuine, honest and openly transparent gentleman I have come across when buying a vehicle which has paid dividends thought this whole sale experience.

Once receiving this splendid 240, the MOT was new with zero advisories as that’s the level of Darrell’s professionalism, only proving absolute confidence in himself.

As a whole I would genuinely recommend anyone in the market for an older Volvo to contact Darrell as I can’t fault the smallest detail.

Wishing him all the best!!

Myself and family members have bought several cars from Darrell over the years, the latest being an 87 240 wagon last month. The process of viewing and buying from him has always been very smooth and reassuring, with open and honest communication in all areas. If ever the time of buying another car did come again I would certainly first look at going through darrell, and would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I met with Darrell just before Christmas to view a 240 GLT he had advertised.
When I was there I instead fell and bought a Light Blue 240GL.
Darrell had only just had it in and not even advertised it yet so it was my lucky day.
Darrell explained that this happens frequently and very view cars get to the advert stage.
He has customers waiting for his call if a new car comes in.
Anyway my car because of Christmas I picked up in January and I am delighted with it. I would recommend anyone to contact Darrell even if he has no cars for sale on his website as you never know what he might have coming in or will be coming in.
Darrell himself is a lovely chap who I still keep in contact with.
Can’t recommend Genuine Cars enough. You will not be disappointed.

I had heard about this man who not only sells classic Volvos but also rallies one and tow's his rally car with a Volvo.
I have had several Volvos "back in the day" and now was the time for another, checking the website a 1988 240GLT Auto caught my eye. When I spoke To Darrell he described the car in detail and was very honest about the cars good and bad points, it seemed to fit the bill perfectly for our daily drive and having read the Testimonials I went ahead and reserved the car.
When I went to view the car Darrell made a point of showing me all around it with no pressure or hard sell and he explained all that had been done to make it ready for its new owner. I bought it.....
Several weeks later the car is in daily use and is running like a dream.
I am so glad I went to a Classic Volvo expert and enthusiast who knows the cars inside out.
Darrell Denning of Genuine Cars 10/10.

5star service. Darrell a pleasure to deal with. The car was as described,the after sales support was great. Highly recommended.

NISSAN MICRA
Darrell was super helpful from my initial enquiry, arranging a deposit to secure the car, offering to collect me or drop off the car (80 mile round trip), putting it through it's MOT after he realised it was due in a month later, then staying on late for a pick up time that suited me. Great friendly service.

Really pleased with my Nissan Micra and it was well prepared. There was a minor issue not long after I received it, however there were no quibbles at all with the warranty and I could take the car to a local garage for the repair for my convenience. It was a pleasure dealing with Darrell and I would highly recommend his services. Thank you very much 😊

Bought a 940 estate of Darrell, he worked with me during rail strikes to arrange a convenient meeting that suited me. He was open and honest about the car and all its quirks which I very much appreciated, his honesty and knowledge of the car has helped me and I found the overall experience very pleasant, thank you very much Darrell

We bought an XC70 and are totally delighted with it. The whole process was brilliant and we were given plenty of time to look over the car and there was no sales pressure That you always get with lesser dealers. Darrell is totally genuine and I have no hesitation in recommending him and Genuine Cars.

Volvo 240,
Darrell / Genuine Cars was an absolute pleasure to do business with and has sorted me out with a beautiful car that will be a friend for life! Their work, patience, honesty and professionalism is beyond exemplary. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to have a Volvo 240.

This is the easiest car that I have ever purchased!!!
Darrell was attentive, patient and professional throughout the entire process from our initial conversation to when he collected me from the railway station.
If only all customer service was this good! Thank you Darrell.

I bought a Volvo 940 estate from Darrell. He met me from the station, and impressed me with his knowledge of Volvos. There was no 'hard sell', Darrell was very helpful putting the car through its MOT for me on purchase, and I have been very happy with the car since.

I bought a 1990 Volvo 245 from Darrell , I flew over from Ireland, Darrell met me near the airport and I drove the Volvo from there to Darrells business premises ,that was the test drive , about 40 miles. Darrell has a fantastic knowledge of Volvos is and he was great to deal with, the car was as described and the next day I drove to Holyhead about 300 miles , ferry to Dublin and then drove 200 miles to the West of Ireland, no problems. Thanks again Darrell for all your help

I love cars but hate the stress that comes with buying them. So as soon as I settled on a Volvo 240 estate as my next car, I came across Genuine Cars and very soon after I made contact with Darrell, I knew I'd be buying a car off him. His expertise, enthusiasm, affability and commitment to providing top quality cars and a top service at very reasonable prices has made this whole buying process one of the most relaxing and reassuring I have experienced to date. Highly recommended.

Darrell at Genuine Cars could honestly not be a nicer person. He is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, patient, and really goes the extra mile. I learned so much about the car i got off him and she is a beauty. Darrell arranged to have extra security measures installed, MOT, and delivery. He has a passion for Volvos which is golden and infectious. Highly, highly recommend.

Despite coming from a family of BMW, Mercedes and Audi employees, owning a pristine 240 has been a lifelong dream for me. For years, I was crawling the internet in European countries to identify the most experienced experts and specialised dealers with a high quality offer, and GenuineCars stood out in all aspects.
The owner Darrell actually contacted me personally - months after a first chat - that he now has the car I was searching for, and it was exactly what I wanted.
The whole experience from first contact, video description, professional car care and service, agreeing on terms and conditions and even helping me hands-on to export the 240 was nothing less than amazing.
I can wholeheartedly recommend GenuineCars for its expertise, integrity and customer service.

Bought a 940 estate. Fabulous condition as described. Great first class service and communication from Darrell throughout the sale. Would recommend this seller.

Very very pleased with the car , nothing was to much trouble , first class service...as the name might suggest, the cars are Genuine and Darrell is Genuine.
You will not be disappointed from start to finish.
