I have used this dealership since 1992 and I have always been very satisfied in every aspect. They are a credit to Volvo

Ray Chapman Motors are always helpful. Nothing appears to be too much trouble to them. That is why I travel 40 miles to deal with them

I am very pleased with the service I have received from the staff at Ray Chapman Motors, Malton.

I have owned a number of cars over the years but I have never received such excellent service previously. The welcome and subsequent service was outstanding and salesman Dan Hall is a credit to Volvo and Ray Chapman Motors of Malton

The care and personal attention my dealer offered were really thoughtful. It was certainly made to feel like a very 'personal' service, even the guys who completed my 'check-over' were particularly caring and thoughtful. I have never experienced such a 'good' and enjoyable level of service when buying a new car, thank you.

The sales person Tony Wright was excellent. He was not pushy, he explained everything very well and could not have been more helpful.

Spare key missing on delivery. However it was replaced. The sales rep and all the staff involved were courteous and attentive. The sales rep concerned had only been with the dealership one week but had a good grasp of all relative matters

Dealing with Ray Chapman Motors was a pleasure. I think the reason for this is that they are a privately owned business and not part of a large dealership. I love the dealership but do think the heater controls could be made easier to operate on my C30

This is the second Volvo I have purchased from Ray Chapman Motors (York) and I shall continue to use and recomend them. In particular I would like to mention Mr Steve Long, He could not be more helpful or more friendly, nothing is left unexplained and I feel confie=dent in all he tells me. "First class person".

I have been consistently pleased with the friendly, pleasant and efficient way in which the staff at Ray Chapman Motors that have carried out work on my car and replied to any quiries I may have had.

Chapman's (Volvo) operate to a very hard standard throughout and their word is their bond.

Mr Davis the sales consultant made looking and buying the car a pleasant experience. There was no sales pressure and he treated me as a valued customer

After many bad experiences of many different dealers and manufacturers, Ray Chapman Motors has been a refreshing and outstanding dealer.
It, and the presence of Rory Queen in sales is the reason why I have yesterday placed an order for a new XC60. Clearly a well run professional and friendly dealership. Lets hope the recession allows it to emerge relatively unsettled.

I was pleased with the spead. An estimate for the works was faxed to my insurer so that approval could be obtained and the repairs were quickly carried out.

As indicated in my responses, the salesperson was extremely helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and everything was explained to our satistaction. I would also like to add that in the past 38 years of purchasing cars this has been the best, most trouble free transaction and made to feel valued customers.

This dealer continues to go that extra mile to deliver a first class service. They go out of their way to treat you as a valued customer rather than another sales target.

I was very impressed with the way that my wife and I were treated from the outset. Nothing was too much trouble and the sales consultant used his experience to treat me as an individual and recognised my motoring requirements and never talked down to us. He was able to answer all our questions. In short he sold himself and thus made our choice easy. (we had been looking at cars elsewhere)

Please look after these privately owned dealerships like Ray Chapman Motors or the pleasure of purchasing a car would be lost as I have experienced in the past from other bigger operations

The workshop controller Dick Palmer is an exceptional man. He always puts himself out to ensure a top rate job is complete and the customer is happy. He deserves a Volvo award!

There are a number of reasons why I bought my car from ray Chapman of York.
I know Duncan Chapman and respect him and his business ethics.I like Volvo,I have done over 500,000 miles in them. This is my fifth.
When I buy something I buy a package. I was thinking of buying a Audi Q5 but i dislike the dealership arrogance. Chapman provide a very good all round service. I feel that if I have a problem and had to escalate it to Duncan ,he would deal with it.

This is an outstanding dealership. I can talk to John Milburn about anything that concerns me and I always get a positive helpful answer. He is excellent.

I must say that the service I get from Ray Chapman Motors is first class.
My car is always collected for each service and MOT when due and it is returned to me the same day fully valeted.
I have always had great service from them and met pleasant staff

My husband and I have used Ray Chapman Motors for over 10 years. The salesmen, receptionists and service engineers seem more like friends than car dealers. We can call on them anytime and they are unfailingly helpful. We will not consider any other dealership in the future.

The communication was clear and two-way from the initial contact. The personnel, from reception to proprietor were helpful and not at all "pushy". They showed outstanding levels of customer service. The new car is a joy to drive and the previous one almost certainly saved my life in an accident. The whole Volvo UK support exceeded expectations, and had opportunity to drive another Volvo model for a few weeks, my wife and I favourable towards the standards used in manufacture.

I can't make any suggestions to a dealership that, from my experience with them has given me 1st class service and aspects when ever I have gone to the dealership for whatever reason. This applies to all the staff. Thanks very much.

Ray Chapman Motors is a damned good firm and well worth the 25 miles drive to get to them, though there are others nearer. It is one of the few motor firms that I have felt I can trust during my nearly 60 years of motoring.

Pleasant receptionist, Coffee at hand and nothing too much bother for any of the staff

Top dealership, would never go anywhere else. I would recommend Chapman's to anyone.

I change my cars regularly and I found the service at Ray Chapman Motors in Malton a pleasant change from other dealerships I have used. The sales team were really helpful and knowledgeable about their cars and I actually enjoyed the buying experience. I can not think of anything negative to report. They even make great Tea.
I love my C30! and the D5 engine sounds great!

We dealt with Rory Queen as the sales consultant. I have to say that he was exceptionally good and patient with a number of questions and changing criteria. In fact, in almost 25 years of driving, the experience of buying a car through him was the best so far. If only all car sales consultants were like this!!

The sales person Rory was very good and the atmosphere was professional but relaxed.
I have two problems at the moment but have not informed Chapmans yet as they will get done at the three month service. The memory seat does not always work and there is a rattle coming from the boot.

The Salesman, Neil Sutton was very good and dealt with us in a friendly manner. We would be happy to deal with contrast to the Volvo Dealership in Bradford where the Sales lady did not see fit to get back to us. I think she had wasters. Neil on the other hand was happy for us to 'waste' his time.

I am the proprietor of a Boarding Kennels and Catery and I find it very difficult to leave the premises for a length of time.
Ray Chapman Motors very kindly collect my car for servicing and general repairs and deliver it back the same day. This is really helpful to me. I do not know how I would manage otherwise. I have had four Volvo's from Ray Chapman Motors and I would not go anywhere else.

I would like to state that the dealing with Ray Chapman Motors was of first class service and I would recommend both the company and the Salesman Steve Long. Both this company and the salesman are a credit to Volvo.

We are very pleased and happy with our Volvo. Mike Hall was particularly helpful, a man with whom you immediately felt at ease with when we purchased our car. John in the service dept has also been helpful and efficient.We were very impressed with the showroom and bathroom, extremely clean and welcoming.

Completely satisfied with Ray Chapman Motors at Malton. Whilst I consider Volvo to be a good product, the staff in the dealership made every effort to cover points which were raised. A lot of time was spent to give satisfactory answers about the new car and to ensure my requirements were met. The showroom was excellent as were the staff and I am very pleased with the service the firm provided

Ray Chapman Motors give me first class service at all times

Volvo are fortunate to have Ray Chapman Motors. They have together a team of dedicated professionals

We have been very pleased indeed with the service received from Ray Chapman Motors.
This contrasts with our awful experience with Mill Garages in Knaresborough. Walking into their showroom is like walking into a Monty Python sketch, as sales staff try to avoid you, and when you do get their attention they try to put you off buying.

It is always a pleasure to call into the dealership. Nothing is ever a problem

Very understanding and extremely helpful with all the issues raised. V good indeed.

The staff at Ray Chapman Motors are like a family to the customer. Nothing is too much trouble and if one salesman is dealing with a customer another would help if he could. A very friendly company.

I thought the whole experience of purchasing this car from Chapman's was very good throughout. I have no problems and trust that through my ownership of this car will be a very enjoyable and amicable experience

I have used the Chapman dealership in Malton since they were in Bridlington some 20 years ago and despite the distance to Malton (28 miles) I will continue to use them.
At no time have I had cause to complain.

The Volvo C30 I purchased was reasonably priced in Ray Chapman Motors. I would not normally travel so far to collect a repacement car. The description on the internet site was a true reflection of the car I purchased. The sales team were helpful and friendly but the follow up call never happened. The C30 has met my expectations both in terms of economy, performance and look. A very happy Volvo owner.

The dealership is excellent and the sales consultant Steve Long is a gentleman. I back this up by stating I have bought my last 4 cars from him. I can not praise both enough.

When choosing a Volvo it is because Chapman still have a personal feel to their place. Its the dealership more than the car. I was really wanting an Audi this time but felt that unless I was a fleet buyer they weren't bothered. The same with VW and Jags. This is in an area of North of York where there are a multitude of car dealers. Mr Chapman runs a nice team both at York and at Malton and good luck to him

The communication was clear and two-way from the initial contact. The personnel, from reception to proprietor were helpful and not at all "pushy". They showed outstanding levels of customer service. The new car is a joy to drive and a previous one almost certainly saved my life in an accident. The whole Volvo Uk support exceeded expectations and opportunity to drive another Volvo model for a few weeks my wife and I are favourable towards the standards used in manufacture.

Can not fault Ray Chapman Motors or Dan Hall in any way. Superb in every aspect

I have dealt with Ray Chapman Motors for many years now and if I have a problem with my car, I have alays been able to take my car down on that day. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff

Thank goodness for people like Steve long. In this day and age not at all pushy. He gave us the information necessary to make a decision on which car to buy. Excellent knowledge too

Have used both Malton and York branches. Neither are pushy and we are always made to feel welcome.

I bought my first car from them bacdk in 1994. Since then I have bought another 4.
Chapman's have given me an excellent service at all times

The care and personal attention my dealer offered were really thoughtful. It was certainly made to feel like a very personal service. Even the guys who completed my check over were particularly caring and thoughtful. I have never experianced such a good and enjoyable level of service when buying a new car. Thank you

Great friendly staff even though they do support rubbish football teams. IE Everton ( Mike) and Sunderland ( Rory).
Could do with biscuits to go with the coffee which is always available.
All in all we have never had any problems in the years we have been Volvo owners. Here's to many more years

My husband and I have used Ray Chapman Motors for over 10 years. The salesmen, receptionist and service engineers seem more like friends than car dealers. We can call on them anytime and they are unfailingly helpful. We will not consider any other dealership in the future.

Staff are polite, smart and knowledgable. Car was booked in for routine service and repairs to knocking exhaust pipe. The engineer could not find the knock but took the time to phone me and discuss the problem. Which he then found and repaired at no additional cost. In my mind you can not beat the levels of advice. First class in every way.

This is my third Volvo XC70- the last two of which have been purchased from Ray Chapmans of Malton, North Yorkshire. From beginning to end my experience as a customer has been first vote both in terms of sales and service, throughout my contact with a range of staff. In truth I can not praise it too highly. These factory- quality of product and professionalism of dealership from top to bottom certainly influenced my decision to purchase another Volvo from Chapmans. Prehaps above all friendliness and openness through the process remains in the mind.

We dealt with Tony Wright at York who was very helpful and honest. We have no hesitation in dealing with him and the dealership again. We have recommended them already

This dealership is the best and a credit to Volvo. They are professionals in all departments. They are honest, happy and reliable. Aftersales service is outstanding.

Impressed that Ray Chapman Motors sent me a reminder in respect of the service. This is much appreciated when we are both working and have little time to give these matters full attention.

I am more than pleased with the service I recieve at Ray Chapman Motors. The staff are very efficient, with good social skills. This is very important to me. Ray Chapman Motors came over as a well run Company who look after their customers. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others

As an ex BMW customer I can thoroughly recommend Ray Chapman Motors.

The dealership could not have done anymore than they did. They even delivered the car to my home address which is 40 miles away.

Ray Chapman Motors come over as a well run company who look after their customers. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Chapman Motors is a first class example of how a business should be run. From top to bottom, members of staff are a credit to the company.
Any dealings I have with Chapman's they make you feel like a valued customer which is rare these days

Great car, great service without any pressure. I have recommended to others Ray Chapman Motors and will continue to do so.

The purchase was a pleasant experience, apart from the time I had ti buy the car and part with my money

My experience of buying a Volvo has been mixed. On one hand the lead time for the delivery of the car took 6 weeks to two months before finally being delivered after almost 5 months.
On the other hand the dealership was excellent and went the extra mile to ensure that they helped me out during the waiting period. (Including the Dealer Principal giving me the use of his personal car for a family touring holiday.)
I have no hesitation in recommending Ray Chapman Motors it is a shame however they are only main dealers for Volvo.
