Sam was such an amazing help, he was extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was in order and even provided expert advice on insurance policies. Such a lovely and thoughtful experience.


Very pleased with my Audi Q5 purchased last week. Very well presented nice clean car for the year and mileage, service history was available. Sam is very knowledgeable and helpful and I would recommend buying from this garage.


Had the absolute pleasure of buying from Crossways! Sam was amazing! Literally saw the car he knew I liked it (hah) and he knew we had doubts due to our bad experience from another garage but he really reassured us, kept in contact with us, made sure we was happy with the car etc and within less than a week we had our car! They made us feel welcomed and our boys were very happy too 😂 Absolutely love our new car! Thankyou so much gentlemen 💞


We had decided to. Buy a newer car, but wanted a garage near to home. We found Crossways Garage in Halstead. We had an idea of what car we wanted and they had one in stock. We arrived and walked into the showroom and were greeted by Sam. He got the car out and running for us. We then went on a test drive with him. Lovely car far more modern than our old one and automatic. We were very impressed by the knowledge Sam has about the vehicle and his patience with the , shall we say, older driver who had never driven an automatic car. We bought the car, Sam helped us all the way through the volumes of paperwork etc. The owner of the garage was very helpful. I would highly recommend the garage. Genuine, very nice people to deal with


I've recently bough an Audi A4 Avant from Crossways and couldn't fault my buying experience at all ! They're a great bunch of guys to deal with, more than happy to answer any queries I had about the car and the whole service/experience from start to finish was brilliant.


Recently purchased a car from Crossways Garage and can highly recommend them. Great friendly service, not pushy in any way . Very pleased with my car and the whole experience with the team at Crossways!


Really good experience from start to finish. Sam took the time to understand what we were looking for, recognised that the car we booked in to view was not right for us and let us have a look around the showroom. We eventually found something that never really appeared on our radar. Sam was really helpful, up front about the vehicle history and its longer-term suitability, and great through the whole process. Thank you, hopefully we won't need another car soon, but will definitely be back to have a look when we do!


From start to finish a great experience. I dealt mostly with Mark who was really helpful both during the process of buying the car has been great in the aftercare of it as well. He was quick to answer (the many) questions I had about the vehicle. I love my new car, I couldn’t recommend this garage enough, the process was quick, smooth and the team are all super friendly and helpful!


Pleased as Punch with the range of cars and outstanding service at Crossways Garage. I saw the car I liked online and dropped in unannounced to view it IRL. Sam was helpful and knowledgeable and a test drive clinched the deal. No nonsense, swift and seamless transaction. 12 month MOT arranged and I drove the car away within days. Very pleased with the no pressure/hassle service and selection. I would wholeheartedly recommend Crossways.


Purchased a car for our daughter from Crossways. James and Sam were professional, approachable and friendly. They went over and above for a quick sale and pick up. Over the years we have purchased many cars from Crossways and have never been disappointed.


Purchased a BMW from crossways at the end of last year, the gentlemen we dealt with were friendly, responsive and honest, great selection of cars. Would buy again.


Just purchased a second vehicle from Crossways, they even bought back the car we got from them previously, at a great price. Really good service, great aftercare and quality cars too.


Good quality cars and very friendly customer service, bought my BMW X5 through them and dealt with sam who made the whole process seem like a walk in the park. Massive thank you to you all at crossways


Highly recommend, the best garage I have ever bought a car from. Sam and the team are top notch. Everything explained clearly, got a good price for my car. Purchased a great new car. Nothing was too much trouble. Absolutely seamless experience. Thank you.


Smooth, simple and no faff! Was browsing online at Mazda 3's and found one well within my budget, age and other requirements at Crossways Garage. Enquired via email and got a reply within 2 hours even on a friday afternoon, no pressure for a deposit etc. (unlike your traditional dealerships!), just a simple let us know if you want to test drive and we'll sort it! One test drive later, and a deposit was down! A big thank you to Sam for the help. Told us everything we needed to know about the car and definietly made the purchase an easy choice. Looking forward to enjoying my Mazda 3!


The most smoothest process. Me and my partner were so anxious about getting a new car after the bad experience we’ve had the last year with different vehicles. We saw a car advertised and went to view it. Both Sam and Mark were extremely helpful. They were very reassuring and the car was MoT’d and ready to go for us the following day. Picking the car up was super smooth. Any problems/questions were dealt with. I would 100% recommend anyone who is looking to purchase a vehicle to look here, especially if you are anxious about buying new car. Professional, helpful, and all round really nice people.


Excellent personal service. Sam from Crossways made buying my car a seamless, easy, stress-free procedure from delivery right through to getting it legally on the road. He explained clearly all the features of the car and very helpfully processed all the admin, tax, parking permit , log book etc changes quickly on my behalf. A very helpful personal service from Sam and from a company that clearly cares about matching its cars and clients.


Purchased a car just this week from the Sam and the team at Crossways. The smoothest of smooth processes from stepping in to the showroom to keys in my hand. Class. So helpful in deciding what would be the right car for me based on lifestyle, family, miles etc relaxed, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. A pleasure working with a team of such experience and integrity. Thanks guys, awesome work


Sam was a pleasure to deal with, and he made the whole process easy and straightforward. I have no hesitation in recommending Crossways Garage to anyone looking to buy a car.


James and Mark are very helpful and very knowlegeable great service. Deal with them direct dont go through anyone elae


The only negative is I can only give 5 stars. Have just bought our 4th car from Crossways. In our experience if you’re looking for someone to “sell you a car” go somewhere else. Every time we’ve been here there has NEVER been any sales pitches. You see a car you like and make arrangements to view it. All of the information is on their website regarding the vehicle but the guys will answer ANY questions. Once purchased the guys help you with all paperwork, tax, etc. I honestly can’t praise them enough. You go into the garage as a buyer and come out as a friend and this really does become your first to go to garage when you’re looking for another vehicle. Nothing much more to add really except for us it’s an amazing garage with a good range of wonderful cars, you won’t be disappointed


I’ve never known such friendly and supportive car salesmen. The whole process was so smooth and easy. They weren’t pushy at all. 100% recommend and I’d 100% go back again!


Came across Crossways Garage by chance and very glad I did as they had just what I was looking for - 1 very happy and satisfied customer. Wide selection of high quality, reliable and carefully selected cars, and people you deal with like Sam are friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and experienced......why would you go anywhere else!!


Great company and great people. Highly recommend 👍🏼


Great family run business. Mark and James could not have been more helpful. Don’t just take my word for it - Go and have a chat with them. I recommend saving their website. You never know what might pop up if you ever need a new car...


We had a very good experience with Crossways Garage. We were given a fair price for our trade in and work carried out on our new purchase was done swiftly and in full. Sam was very helpful and provided good communication throughout our experience. Would certainly recommend them to anyone.


Had a great experience dealing with Sam at Crossways a couple weeks ago now. Provided helpful information and was always easy to contact. Would 100% recommend to anyone considering buying a car from the garage.


The service from Sam at crossways was exceptional . He helped me with taxing the car and untaxing my old one . Also the v5 . all went very smoothly. He came out on a Sunday to make things easier .Everything was very professional and I didn’t feel pressured . I’m delighted … thankyou


A very exciting time buying a new car made stress free & easy. From first phone call with James to meeting him when visiting to view and test drive to meeting Sam to collect my car. Not being local meant first impressions really count. James couldn’t have been any more helpful when my partner called up to ask about the car. He spent a lot of time detailing the car and answering questions. James was friendly & professional with no sales pressure when visiting to view and test drive new car and talk part exchanging my current car. On collecting my car on Saturday we met Sam who looked after us for the final part. He was also professional and friendly taking us thru the last steps before driving away in my new car. You not only have cars at the heart of your company you have your customers right there too. Thank you James and Sam. Great company with traditional style and approach.


A truly fantastic buying experience. Both Sam and Mark were extremely helpful and made sure to set our mids at ease as much as possible. The vehicle were going to buy had a slightly damaged wheel arch liner and they had fixed it when we went to pick it up! Very trustworthy garage and very hardworking and friendly fellas.

Hi just like to say I bought a land Rover discovery 4 from here sale man Mark and received first class service mark was very professional and made me feel very comfortable while I was there.i travelled from Sheffield to get my D4 after talking to mark on the phone. He gave. Me a lot off information and I decided it was well worth it to Buy the car after Checking it out. Thank you. Douglas Morgan.


I can’t recommend crossways enough - I have bought two vehicles from here to date and know I’ll be returning for my third. Always happy to help, always make sure that everything is spot on. You can use these guys with nothing but complete confidence. Highly recommended.


From the moment I saw the advert for the car I wanted I felt I could trust Crossways Garage. James introduced me to the immaculately prepared Golf Estate that I had been looking for, took us for a lengthy test drive and was very clear in explaining how to buy it. The price was competitive, and with a full year's RAC guarantee and breakdown insurance we felt very reassured. The car drives beautifully. I have no hesitation in recommending Crossways to any potential buyer.


I brought a stunning BMW 435d convertible and found Crossways to be a superb garage with excellent old fashioned service and values that’s hard to find these days. No pushy sales, just good advice and service making car buying easy. Very helpful throughout the process helping to do a number plate transfer.

Thankyou Mark and team. You have restored my faith in used car sales. Enquired about a mini they had that the wife was very interested in, sent an email that night, Mark phoned early the next morning. Done. Mark suggestedif she realy wanted it, do the paperwork and everything being fine he could bring it the 80miles and deliver it the next day. The wife is over the moon, the car is immaculate. from start to finish, 4 days to own the car. Excellent. I would give them 6 or 7 stars if it allowed. Very highly recommended. A real pity other firms are'nt as proficient and proffesion as this garage. Again thank you.


I have bought all my cars from Crossways Garage, and I have always had such a fantastic service. Never pushed and feel free to make my choice.


Very good service and accurate information about the car. we bought a Toyota IQ. Thank you very much to Mark, he helped solve the problem with the air conditioner. Highly recommend. I think we will buy our next car from them.


Purchased a car from Crossways a couple of weeks back and had a small issue with the Sat Nav. The time and effort Mark put in to resolving the issue was second to done. His customer support was amazing. Great garage to do business with!! I would definitely recommend this garage to anyone, brilliant!!


Recently bought my car from here and the service was top notch, super patient with my rather large family that attended, not pushy and really helpful and kind. Would recommend. Thank you!


Fantastic & professional service from James, would highly recommend 👍 Many thanks Andy Rose


Recently purchased a car from this garage. The level of professionalism upheld was outstanding . An absolute pleasure to communicate with and were fantastic with our children! Despite it being such a distance from ourselves we will always use these again in the future.


Bought my Toyota yaris from there 2 years ago very nice car and they were very helpful, highly recommended 👍


Very Happy with the service. Will highly recommend to others.


Purchased an Audi A6 Avant, great all round experience. Pleasurable purchase, would definitely use again


Been looking on various car sites for a car, found the car on car gurus site, went to see yesterday at Crossways, which luckily wasn't too far to travel. Picked up today, was given a good px on my old car and Mark was extremely helpful. Would definitely recommend, very helpful and would definitely go back.


Recently sold my car to crossways garage, very pleased with the service and would most definitely use again.


The go to dealer for reliability, great service and an excellent vehicle! Don't miss out on a great deal, see James and Mark for your next vehicle 👍



Good family business


A highly recommeded car Dealersip for a lovely car, I have puchased several vehicles from Crossways Garage (Halsted) Ltd over the years, James & Mark definitely go the extra mile for quality and after care and nothing is a problem, Thank you Crossways.


Few cars here now and highly recommend. Straight as the proverbial Dye.


Can’t recommend Crossways garage enough! James & Mark are so professional, helpful and friendly. I brought my beautiful Audi A1 just over a month ago and had no issues. The whole experience was amazing & the car came with a new MOT and service. I also sold my previous car to Crossways with no hassle at all! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much!


A1 customer service, very friendly, engine light came on after 3 months, saw me straight away and all resolved very quickly, highly recommend


I can't say enough about the service we got form James, this should be the standard that anyone aspires to in sales, open, honest, no pressure and tells you all the faults first so there are no surprises, you know exactly what you are getting, just a wonderful experience from start to finish. We got the exact car we wanted and for a very good price, James even drove it all the way to Carlisle for us (300ish miles) withing three days of us saying we wanted it, no deposit taken and paid on arrival. When we come to buy a car again I will certainly be looking to James first, made buying our car fun and easy.


Really helpful, perfect customer service. Will recommend to anyone to have a look for their next car here. Great prices and excellent attention to detail! Cheers guys


Friendly staff far from pushy. Pleasure to buy a car there.


Very friendly service, would definitely recommend to family and friends . 🙂👍





Great service, very friendly and no issues over purchase of my new car.


brilliant service, friendly and honest . highly recommend


Good cars


Fantastic service, really friendly & great advice.


Purchased a car from here late last year and had a slight issue with the convertible roof - Crossways dealt with this in a professional and efficient manner, even taking the car halfway across the country to a roof specialist at their own expense! Great garage, amazing staff, always feel welcomed with excellent customer service!!


Absolutely 1st Class Service would not buy a cat anywhere else!!


Great guys and a fab selection of stock


What a fantastic place. The owner, James, is brilliant at giving you all the information you need in a very open and honest fashion. Once again, a big thank you for the lift from Colchester to collect the car! I’ve done about 3k miles in my Skoda Octavia (64) bought in November; it’s been a pleasure to own so far. I’d buy from here again over anywhere in Colchester, and I’d recommend it without hesitation, simply because you will not find better service from a used car dealer anywhere.



I am delighted with the service I have had from Crossways. I recently bought a first car from them, and would certainly use them again.


I have purchased a lot of cars over the years but never had such a great experience. Customer service is second to none, car was exactly as described (relief as I bought it blind) James even delivered it to my home address, a journey of approximately 120 miles round trip. You just don’t find second hand car dealers this honest and willing to go the extra mile. Will definitely be putting crossways car sales at the top of my list for family and friends in the future.


Buying a car from Crossways was a pleasure. The guys were extremely helpful and friendly and were not pushy at all. Buying a good car always represents a big expense and I would therefore highly recommend contacting Crossways.


Very very good service brilliant


Excellent need I say more


Excellent, polite and not pushy. Was a difficult time for me and I felt that I was treated as royalty. My sister died just before I was due to pick up my car so my old car was not 100% shiny and I accidentally left some wood in there which I used to help my back. They must have wondered what on earth hadn't I told them lol. The new car was spotless and they made sure I was 100% happy and despite my brain being mush they made sure I knew everything I needed to know to get myself and my new car home. I can NOT fault them in anyway. Thank you so much to them.


Professional First Class Service, I recently purchased a car here, I had a small problem which was sorted professionally and speedily, which has made the purchase of my car a pleasurable experience, First class after sales service, Recommended Dealer for the next car I want this will be the first place to look.


Recently bought a Volvo V40 from Crossways Garage, very impressed from start to finish - no hard sell, just nice, easy and friendly. Many thanks.



My other half has bought 2 or 3 cars from Crossways and I am looking at getting one now. The customer service isn't only great before you buy from them but their aftercare make them a credit to the profession. I would highly recommend buying from Crossways, which is why I am about to do just that myself.


Good reliable car sales. Friendly and helpful. I have bought two cars here and been very happy with them.


Great service, great cars, purchased a new car from here they got it serviced, breaks done and it was immaculate, spot on


Amazing customer service and very professional, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this garage, definitely 5 star+






Purchased a used Mercedes C Class this week. Car was exactly as described and well prepared for delivery. But what impressed me most was the superb level of customer service. I needed an automatic car as I have a long term left foot health issue. As I'm currently in plaster they brought the car to my home 30 miles away for a test drive and to deliver. Highly recommended


A Fantastic garage, Real, Honest and genuine. John went to great lengths to ensure the car was ready for me the day I needed. Nothing was too much trouble and the car is in great condition. A service and full advisory free MOT as standard. What more could you want, prices are extremely good and a great selection of makes and models to choose from. Thanks Guys, I know where I'll be recommending my friends and family to shop for their next car. Thanks again.


What can I say, Mark at Crossways garage couldn't have been more helpful. Very proffessional and friendly.


Got a very nice ds3 from them and the service was great this is the second car i have got from them. Would recommend them to any one....


Good people, fair!


Very friendly and helpful a great experience buying a car at this garage would come back again


Have bought 4 cars in total over the last few years from Crossways. Have always received a first class service and have been thrilled with our cars. Any little niggles have always been dealt with quickly and efficiently. Always first port of call when looking to change car. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Crossways for your superb service.



I received great personable experience when purchasing a car from this garage. I got a great finance package. Overall they were very helpful and knowledgeable. I would defiantly recommend this garage if looking to buy a car.


Recently purchased a Volvo XC70 from here, Very pleased with the vehicle. This is a properly run used car garage and I will definitely use them again in the future and recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you James & John.


Bought a Toyota Avensis recently and the whole experience was dealt with very professionally from start to finish. That included resolving a tyre and brake problem once we had the car. This was dealt with immediately by the garage and included two new tyres and two new Toyota brake pads. There was never any buying pressure on us when discussing our part exchange and purchase in fact we received some very good advice. I would highly recommend this garage and would definitely buy from them again. They also give a six month free warranty where most garages only give three months, in my experience.
