Within a day of calling they quickly provided us with a choice of appropriate vehicles at a very competitive price. The service from the sales department throughout the whole process was excellent.
They were always available and happy to answer any questions and ensure we had the right minibus for Yarrells School. All the students and staff are very pleased with their new minibus. Thank you.
Chafyn Grove School, Salisbury
Chafyn Grove School recently bought a new Ford Transit 17 seater minibus through Abacus. I was impressed with their professional approach throughout – Abacus took great care to supply us with exactly the vehicle we wanted and within the time-scale we specified.
Nothing was too much trouble for their sales department – we were carefully advised on the correct vehicle colour needed to match our existing minibuses, we were kept well informed of the progress of our order and the bus was duly handed over on time and to specification. Even better, we got the vehicle at a very competitive price. All in all, it was a pleasure to buy through Abacus – we got exactly what we wanted with no dramas. Thoroughly recommended!
