    We part ex’ed our old campervan for a nice, shiny new VW Kombi. The service was excellent and the salespeople attentive, but not intrusive. We were given a fair price for our old van. Thank you. If you’re looking for a VW camper, these people are second-to-none.

    My partner and I recently won a competition run by PW to celebrate the move to their new head quarters. The weekend just passed, we went to collect our luxury campervan and headed to Wales for an adventure. We were greeted by Bart and his team on arrival. They were ever so friendly and helpful, explained what to do and in true ‘customer service’ fashion, nothing was too much trouble.

    The camper itself was built to a very high standard, great features included and it’s fair to say, my partner who, up until this point has been an ‘anti-camper van’ kinda person. That all changed this weekend and I’m pleased to say that thanks for the amazing experience and quality of the build we are actively discussing getting our own one.

    Would we use Platinum Wave Automotive? 110% yes!

    Thanks Bart and Elizabeth for your help and support this weekend. We made some amazing memories and I hope to be back soon to discuss buying our own one.

    See you soon
    Thanks

    We recently purchased a camper from Platinum Wave and found the whole experience to be first class. Upon arriving I was immediately greeted in the car park by Elizabeth and then Bart. They answered all my questions as I am completely new to camper vans and had many. And they new exactly when to leave me alone to wander in and out of all their vans in stock on the forecourt and in the show room.

    The van I chose ended up being a custom build, and it was ready on the day they promised.

    I would highly recommend using PW if you are getting a camper.

    We bought our campervan from platinum wave in 2019 and have really loved it. They really looked after us throughout the conversion process. Unfortunately my wife suffered a shattered femur in 2022 and found maneuvering in the van difficult so we sadly decided to sell. Returned to platinum wave and they offered a brokerage deal. Van was sold quickly for a good price and their fee was reasonable. There professionalism was obvious from the start and we are so pleased with the service we received. Would not hesitate to recommend them, Both for buying and selling a camper van.

    Wow what can we say from start to finish they have been absolutely amazing. Their customer service was outstanding especially from Alan and Rea who have gone above and beyond. The van is stunning and designed absolutely perfectly to an outstanding level. We cannot recommend them enough. Don’t walk… run to this company to buy your new van.

    Can’t fault the service from start to finish. Alan, Rea, Bart & the team have gone above & beyond to make my dream camper. I didn’t want the hook up point on the side of the van & requested that it was fitted under the rear light cluster. They were more than happy to accommodate. Would definitely recommend Platinum Wave if you’re in the market for a luxury camper.
