19 March 2026

A generally good experience overall. The odd minor hiccup was dealt with well by the dealership.

16 March 2026

So personal, efficient, and knowledgeable. Faultless.

11 March 2026

Brand new car was handed over with a damaged alloy - Something must have happened to wheel whilst it was being prepared. I was kept away from that side if the car during handover so seems obvious someone knew about the damage before hand.

11 March 2026

Very informative, friendly excellent service from your staff

04 March 2026

Just perfect. The help, advice, professionalism and all with a smile.

04 March 2026

The salesperson Tim was amazing from the start of the process to the delivery he kept me informed and was totally professional and knowledgeable answering all my queries

01 March 2026

Tim was great. Handled all my enquiries professionally. Nothing was too much trouble.

28 February 2026

The sales team were really friendly and made the process very straightforward

26 February 2026

Polite professional service, given plenty of time and information regarding the cars Would have been a ten if it weren't for the salesman telling my husband he looked younger than me!! ??

25 February 2026

Tim was really great, to the point and looked after us well. As did Grace and Emily too

Great sales man Jacob. Helped me throughout the application process, answered all my questions and couldn't help more. My car reveal was the best! I felt so special.

23 February 2026

My initial contact was good then it went downhill. Resulting in the original order being cancelled and re-ordered, delaying the deliver date. Then `Tim took responsibility! His professionalism, empathy and knowledge was utterly amazing! Thank you!

22 February 2026

Customer service second to none. Both Emily and Rebecca in sales talked through various payment options including after sales warranties/service plans. Emily made sure we were kept in the loop on the sale of our new mini from start to finish.

20 February 2026

Great service

05 February 2026

Tim gave clear explicit advice on models, test drive offered and paperwork completed.

02 January 2026

Good.

31 December 2025

As previous. Additionally the very poor level of empathy shown by a number of your staff has been disgustingly. For reference Grace & Matt have been extremely helpful, the same cannot be said for Lucy & Craig, who have both been appalling.

29 December 2025

This is my 6th mini. Never in all those years have I sat picking up my new car and I'm receiving messages asking for fuel money and £99 for the V5 which you received by hand by myself the following morning

22 March 2026

I have recently had a service and a seasonal heath check, i pay monthly for a service package. My car has alerted me that my tyre pressure needs attention! This is something that i wouldnt expect due to checks that have taken place in my recent visi

Good communication

08 March 2026

Unfortunately, when I came back after an hour and an half , I was told that there was something needing doing before the MOT, so had to wait longer. I had another appointment after this one, so I was late. The man did say that he tried to ring.

Please refer to the answer below.

02 March 2026

Kate was excellent kept me updated throughout the day and a nice clean car when I collected

01 March 2026

Damaged wing mirror was fixed in a speedy manner . Updates were regular and customer service was professional and friendly.

01 March 2026

The customer service was satisfactory. Work carried out appears to also be satisfactory. Work which needed carrying out in the not too distant future, the price quoted was too high after having quotes from other places, that was a shame really.

01 March 2026

I have found that the Stratstone BMW Derby franchise has been the best all round servicing for me. They also gave us a good Part Exchange deal.

26 February 2026

The day of the service was great. The booking process was not the best as the person clearly was not listening to what I was asking. But the staff at stratstone once there were great. My daughter is just buying her first mini from them too

24 February 2026

It is great that Kate and the team provide such an excellent service and are always friendly, welcoming and efficient. Great communication. My car drives better following the full service and the new brake pads have noticeably improved the braking.

23 February 2026

Service was easy to book. The timed appointment is really good and both times I have done this my car has been ready before the allotted time. Reception and service staff are excellent; friendly, helpful and very efficient.

18 February 2026

Very friendly, easy to complete the process.

18 February 2026

My car went in for a rattling, my father in law is a mechanic and the parts that I was told had broke to cause rattling weren't next to each other as was stated one broke the other therefore assume it was broke while in for repair so longer time in

18 February 2026

Three days rather long time for a small wire replacement. Why are part not stocked in the body shop/garage. Thats quite ridiculous length of time. However, impressed with health check and little video thats sent. Communication from Kate is excellent.

18 February 2026

All went smooth.

17 February 2026

Service done in a timely manner as a waiting customer. Receptionist very pleasant and provided us with coffees

Great service and communication

15 February 2026

Very courteous staff, offering coffee etc., Car booked in for service while you wait. It was ready before time. Great ??

10 February 2026

Friendly and efficient service. I would add that the offering of beverages is very nice but there's a limit on how many times I want to be asked!

10 February 2026

Was kept informed. No major issues, although continually having to re-plumb the dash cam each time means that I have issues getting it to function properly.

10 February 2026

Staff were very good kept us informed just a pity they couldn't repair the car Mini tech just kept saying fit this fit that still didn't get car running so paid for new parts that didn't work and still car doesn't run

09 February 2026

Professional and friendly. Simple and no hassle

09 February 2026

Great service on arrival lady was very helpful & chatty.

04 February 2026

I think that the service team on the day were great. There was confusion over which service my car was to have due to poor communication by the booking team but Kate, on the day sorted thi gs out and I was satisfied with the outcome.

03 February 2026

Did the job, without any fuss and on time

02 February 2026

Great customer service

31 January 2026

Great service

31 January 2026

28 January 2026

Excellent host in Carol

28 January 2026

The staff were simply amazing and so supportive at Stratstone Mini. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole team really care about their customers.

27 January 2026

Very upset that I was charged for work to repair my windscreen washers. Was informed that it was not a warrant issue. I fail to see how a repair that involves removing the wheel arch cover is a general maintenance matter.

27 January 2026

The entire process was handled smoothly. I was kept in the picture throughout. Your Team were helpful and friendly.

27 January 2026

Efficient and courteous

26 January 2026

The service was done in good time and i was informed throughout the day

26 January 2026

Vanessa was fab, explaining the work required and working hard to reduce the cost. Although, it was difficult to get through to anyone via the phone. Also I'm frustrated as my car was cleaned but left wet, so now has an awful damp and mould smell.

24 January 2026

Vanessa went out of her way to help

24 January 2026

Coming to pick up my car and drop it off saved me a lot of time. The woman who picked it up was helpful and courteous and went out of her way to bring it back early.

24 January 2026

Great service and mini past its MOT with out any issue

23 January 2026

All staff very helpful They even brought me home and then picked me up again when my car was ready

22 January 2026

Overall an excellent service, the only issue I had was that my car was still muddy near the wheel arches but I know there were three of us waiting for our vehicles.

22 January 2026

Top marks for Stratstone Mini Derby. Arrived 15 minutes before opening time and they left me in so I wasn't waiting outside. Reception and service rep were very friendly. Overall I had a very, very good experience.

22 January 2026

Fast efficient friendly service

21 January 2026

I was able to check my car in straight away. Kate remembered me and was very efficient and pleasant to deal with. She found me a place to wait while my car was checked.

21 January 2026

Efficient. Lost a star as said I would get a call about a query, which didn't happen (I solved the issue without the call!).

19 January 2026

They did the job

19 January 2026

It was a fab service from dropping off my keys to picking up my car. Vanessa let me know what was happening while I was on site and kept me informed

19 January 2026

Would have given 5 stars but thought price was a bit high for an oil and filter change

19 January 2026

Makes a refreshing change to deal with a main dealership that values the customer.

17 January 2026

All good

17 January 2026

I felt for the work carried out the invoice was really quite expensive.

15 January 2026

Online booking service was poor, filled in request twice without a call back. had to make the call. Requested to arrive at 8am to drop car for service only to be told that staff were not yet set up ready to check in customers. self check in not work

15 January 2026

Totally satisfied with the service provided

13 January 2026

My Mini was serviced and MOT in the time period given. One star deducted for not refitting dash cam on completion although I found a member of staff who helped without any issue

12 January 2026

Staff good didn't take long to do brake fluid

12 January 2026

Great service from start to finish very friendly staff.

12 January 2026

Lovely friendly greeting from Carol on my arrival and booking in my car. Vanessa phoned to say my car was available for collection and was there to hand my keys back with paperwork. All done with a great smile

Professional staff. welcoming and friendly. Staff attentive to the fact that I stayed at Stratstone whilst my car was serviced.

08 January 2026

Quick,efficient and helpful. Staff in the centre were friendly and i was asked several times if Id like a drink while i was waiting. Service was quick and painless.

08 January 2026

Kept up to date and was able to upgrade my MOT appointment to a major service as it was due the following month.

07 January 2026

Really happy with check-in and communication. Only one thing that has reduced my rating. The error message I highlighted when I arrived was still there when I collected the car. It had to be taken back to the technicians to fix before I could leave.

05 January 2026

My tyre pressure was low on one tyre and needed blowing up which wasn't done and was showing on the screen when you start the car up, also I was advised the break discs where low but having had a second opion they are ok, so I'm disappointed

31 December 2025

Great sales team. Tim went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience.

29 December 2025

All work that was carried out on my car was done to the highest level and keeping me informed of any issues for the future.

29 December 2025

The service was quick and professional throughout. I was kept informed of the process and what was happening. Nothing was done without my consent.
