Alan says... "Ling, I enjoyed the whole process, from your lovely website, to the instant response emails. Even though I ended up with a larger engine than my original quote, I only had to wait 2 weeks and my brand new shiny Verso is now on the driveway. Marvellous. The delivery was splendid, the car arrived early!"

Hong Kong Fooeytastic! It was a first for me and my brother and you have given us something that we will never forget, our new cars!
My Lexus is lush and my brother's RX-8 is well... actually I have not seen him since he got it but it looks cute :). We are waiting for the first month's petrol bill for the RX8 though!
You are bloody marvellous, a Saint in a world of sinners, a bringer of joy and truly unique. Go eat those Dragons Ling (except the Welsh ones because they are super tuff, like all Welsh people) I thought that was just the sheep? - Ling. See you when we need more cars!"

Denny, boyo, you are the most mental solicitor I have ever encountered! I didn't realise you and Alex were brothers, I thought you were new fangled civil parnership :). I asked who had "his" car, and who had "her" car, as I thought both a Lexus IS and an RX-8 were both equally gay - ooooooooops! You both responded, pointing fingers at the other one. I reccommend you to any customers who want to sue someone, for a laugh. You just need to to sort your bloody web-site!!! then I could link you. 500th letter!!! WAH!!!

Yep, this was pain-free alright, mainly due to your quick responses and paperwork efficiency. 3-weeks from proposal to delivery, it was a textbook rental. Hope you enjoy cramming the Zafira with furniture, Keith :) -

Gary says... "This is my first personal contract hire car and it couldn't have been any easier, Ling was always there to help with any questions I had. It was first-class service all the way. It's a shame most other companies are not as good as LINGsCARS, I can't praise her enough. Terrible service from the Mazda dealer delivering my car."

Editor Note:
Hmmm, Gary, I know the dealer did not do a good job. I am having terrible problems with Mazda UK and I operate on a blacklist due to my outspoken criticism of them in the past. What can I do? We are supposed to accept this terrible service (your words) without complaint. I am terribly frustrated by this. Their view seems to be that the dealers are more important than the customers, which is totally wrong I think. Apologies, but glad the rest of my service was worth your kind words -

Elaine, so glad you chose to replace 1st car with another from me. It shows I am doing things right. You do a very low mileage, so I was able to reduce your rate even further. Talk again in 2-years, look forward to seeing what you want to swap into, then -

Editor Note:
Yes, Brad, we had fun getting your BMW 318i. Due to these cars being rare, it took 2-months from proposal to delivery, but I can't build them or get the BMW factory to work harder. But you were so happy when it arrived. Thanks for being a well-behaved customer :) -

Martin says... "After I had chosen my car, I spent no more than 10 minutes of my own time arranging it. This is a great, fast and efficient service - I think the whole process took just 2 faxes, 2 emails and 2 telephone calls and one letter by post before my new MX 5 arrived on the agreed day and time. It arrived following a courtesy phone call the day before. That's excellent service for someone like me with a hectic lifestyle"

Martin, the reason your car process went so smoothly is because you are such an efficient person. If only everyone was as organised as you! I agree, it was a piece of cake. Look forward to your return in 2-years -

Leslie, this is the second car I am renting to your family, I also am supplying a Mini Cooper to your daughter (I think she is your daughter) in Nelson, Lancs. That is due in June '07, currently it is in build. Thanks very much for the referral, you are both very nice people to deal with. have a great time in the Picasso! -

Angela, this is the fourth car I have supplied now to Teesside Electrical. Previously you've had a Primera, a Ford Focus and a Citroen Dispatch van. You know if I cost mats in, the rental would increase. Some finance companies I use do supply them after delivery, others don't. Halfords do them at £9.99 and it makes sense to me to get cheap ones, after all, only your shoes notice :). Thanks for being such a lovely customer! -

Very good communication, Ling was able to provide the exact model, colour and spec within a very short timescale. I would not hesitate to use your company again and I will recommend to people I know. The delivery of my SAAB 9-3 Convertible was very efficient and polite."

It is black with full tan leather. Looks really smart and everyone thinks £145 per month is a great deal. Two weeks down the line, I know of three other people who have gone to your site for a car already."

Wow, you got your car just before the bloody Frenchies went on strike at Aulnay and stopped production of the C2. Communists, probably! It is back online, now, and these full leather versions have been good sellers, great value. Always thankful for recommendations :) Glad the delivery guy got you out of bed, you youngsters are so damn lazy! -

I apologise for not having written to you sooner but I was away on business all last week and since then the weather has been amazing so we've been out visiting and enjoying the roof being down!!! The whole family have had nothing but a big grin on their faces since last week.
Thank you very much for your excellent service. I'll write a proper thank you letter over the next few days, but rest assured I am spreading the word about the Mighty Ling to everyone I meet."

Ling was efficient and competitive and a pleasure to deal with. The SAAB 9-3 Convertible is a cracking car. Thanks for a great contract hire experience. Excellent delivery hand-over, the car was delivered on time. You have been very helpful throughout. Hope to deal with you again in 2009."

Editor Note:
Kate, aaaaagh, we did have a nightmare with your Audi A3 delivery. The dealer was just so slow, in the end you chose to collect it yourself. These cars have a 12 week leadtime at the moment, I managed to get you a cancelled order sooner, but this meant I did not use my usual dealer and was out of control on the delivery. But at least you got your car in 7 weeks instead of 12! To me, that was a result even if it did not happen so smoothly, but a price worth paying :) -

Ling offers the kind of customer service that I would happily pay more for, she even gave me her mobile number!!! Ps. car is also fantastic."

Editor Note:
Ah, this illustrates my point to other car dealers, Kevin. Car is secondary to service!!! Anyway, the dealer did mess up on delivery and caused a delay due to the transporter breaking down on way to Edinburgh. Not that that was the dealer fault, but their communication was slow. Still, it got there 1 day late, so not too bad. Zoom, zoom! -

Noel says... "Customer service is not so much a matter of saying and doing all the right things to avoid being criticised, as it is a matter of creating a fun, professional atmosphere that makes a customer feel very clever for having to agreed to do business with you (You gottit Noel, not many people understand this, but must say, you gottit - Ling).
Ling understands this better than anyone, and that's on top of prices that can't be beat. There are so many contract hire companies to choose from, most of them with about as much personality as a combine harvester. I am very happy I chose LINGsCARS.com and will be back to do business again.
Bad point: Mazda delivered a car with not enough oil in it, terrible."
Noel Guinane

Editor Note:
Noel, you must have degree in psychology as you are spot on with your analysis. Thanks for comments. Mazda, however... dispute that the car did not have enough oil. My view is "why dispute and argue?", Noel is obviously not stupid, why not just fix the problem and stop being so defensive? Mazda, you have managed to make a happy customer unhappy by having dealers that call people stupid. Plainly, that is not true of MY customers! Mazda also tried to charge my customer for this - I paid this bill immediately, myself, as Noel did not deserve this bill! How stupid and money grabbing can these garages and manufacturers get? Noel will certainly get another car from me, but I don't think it will be a Mazda! -

With a really tight deadline, Ling not only delivered as promised but she made the whole experience a pleasure. There were no non-returned calls, no emails into black holes, just a responsive service with a great end product. As we are a small company, this type of service is so important - totally recommended 100%. The car was delivered on time, to the minute, friendly driver, clean car."
