Hello chaps, I'm new here. Couldn't find alot using the search so... Thinking of getting myself another Integra DC2 through dna cars, sounds very good so far. Anyone on here got a car imported by them? Everything you hoped for? Sorry if it's been covered. Thanks Dave |

If I was looking to import a car, John @ DNA would be my first choice. |

Sorry to rain on your parade westmoors but here i go: I had my car imported by John late last year. The service he provides is impeccable, i was given all the information on the car including the auction sheets etc (price blanked out lol) and he explained to me what the different values and numbers meant. He put up with alot of shit when there were paperwork issues and he went out of his way to make sure it got sorted, including a retardedly long trip to sort the number plates so i could have my car a day earlier. On top of that John is just generally a good bloke, helpful and friendly even when i phone him at a silly time to ask a starlet related question (i still do this lol). So yeah, basically give the guy a ring or an email and have a chat, no doubt in my mind he will help you out with anything you want to know. |

I've always found these chaps to be very friendly and helpful. They have certainly put up with some serious tyrekicking by me in the past!! Does anyone have any feed back for West Moors Motor Company? - I've just seen a despoilered silver bugeye on their website and call me crazy but I am absolutely loving it. |

I'm dealing with John at DNA on my new car ATM. He's a good chap. And does his best to keep the customer happy. With the service I've had from him so far, I'd recomend him As for West Moors. Well..... I went down to their yard in Christchurch to have a look at an R32 GTR they had down there. I couldn't get a test drive as I went on a Sunday, and there was only a young chap there on his own. He did however take me for a 'blast' up and down the drive in it. To show me what it could do, he ragged the f&*k out of it, from cold, over speed bumps up and down the drive to their yard. He was obviously using it as his 'company car', as his personal stuff was in there too. So how much more abuse had this car had? So needless to say, I departed from there without looking back. If that's how one of their cars is treated, how about all the rest? First impressions last, that was a great first impression I had. I'd never recommend buying from there. |

ive dealt with both west moors and john, to reply to the original post-- john and dna cars well hes a top bloke and you couldnt ask for more, the jap import scene obviously has that element of "service history" etc doubts and john really does plenty of work to make sure you know whats what, he makes a KILLER cup of tea and i cant say anything other than really the nicest bloke, and would surely be the best choice i know of-- super personal touch, more like friend than business throughout the whole process. so if you want an import, dont look any further!as for west moors, well my experience was really quite good.nothing major, and they did plenty to sort out the car and make it good to drive away-- tbh, more of a dealership feel of course its a big showroom place, whereas john is a family run business.. not had any real problems since owning, havent bought anything essential and they have a warranty etc-- mine wasnt a jap import tho.. but jon has, by the sounds of things, had a bad experience! so for my money, well john hasnt got one bad review and i feel the djcc in general is all decent people, whos viewws are worth something-- so bear it in mind in conclusion, my overall experience is not bad with either. my own personal preference might be one thing i.e john/dna... but you might find that west moors might have stock of what you want, or deal with P/X which might be more convenient... but you asked about DNA, and they are excellent cheers, Steve |

Excellent feedback guys cheers.John sounds like a top bloke then, i've already emailed him about what I want etc and he's very promt at getting back to me etc. Feels more personal and looked after with a smaller business aswell I find and he's a tad closer. Not that Southhampton is close to Essex lol Anyway looks like he may have some business his way then

Only one problem with John... he gets very lonely at about 3am and starts asking people to 'come and have a drink with me' very loudly !![]() |

Good feedback there. I am thinking of using DNA to import something. I have also been to West Moors and found them to be ok. They had an Evo 8 there when I was looking to buy and it was very tidy. |
