Welcome to R Symons

  • Welcome to R Symons

Car enthusiasts, vehicle sales and now one of the UK's leading electric car specialists. There are plenty of garages selling electric cars now but not many actually know a great deal about them, especially Teslas. We are the refreshing difference and our knowledge you should find exceeds that of anyone else.

I am unlike almost any other vehicle trader you are likely to meet. I set up my business because I am a true car enthusiast and I love buying and selling great cars and helping people find the right car for them.

Initially, as a young lad, I completed a degree in design but my ambitions to become a car designer were hard to fulfil. Over time the path of life lead me into the world of software where I was a UK director for an excellent company, but I had to step down from this job to commit time for family life upon the arrival of our daughter 2009. It was then in 2010 that I basically converted a hobby into a living and I’ve been playing with cars full time ever since!

    A pleasure to buy from this wonderful team.
    Rich and his team were all very welcoming and extremely supportive when I bought my first EV. They took a lot of time to talk through the car and answer all of my questions patiently and in detail. They are clearly very knowledgeable about Tesla, EVs and the supporting infrastructure. It was a very friendly sales process with absolutely no pressure to make a purchase, in fact it was only after I decided to buy the car that I was told there were others waiting to view it later in the day! All-in-all I couldn't have asked for a better purchase experience. Many thanks to the whole team.

    Outstanding Service!
    Their knowledge, expertise and customer service were all excellent. The car was perfectly presented and the handover training on the car was very informative. Overall, they were happy to spend us much time with me as I needed and there was no pressure to 'sell'. Just how a car dealer should be!

    Outstanding level of customer care...

    Truly exceeded my expectations. Outstanding level of customer care from start to finish. I was feeling overwhelmed at the prospect of selling my Tesla but I needn't of been. Lewis and Jo were my main contacts and each offered patience and understanding to a rather anxious seller. I highly recommend R Symons.

    The best car purchasing experience I've ever had
    Start to finish they looked after me as a team and then throughout the buying process Lewis was available for advice and very helpful in all aspects of me buying the car. On the day, meeting Richard and the team was such a great experience, you really do feel their enthusiasm for what they do, their knowledge was invaluable to me and I'll be buying my next car from them as well, no doubt, would recommend to everyone without hesitation.

    Brilliant service, definitely recommend.
    I bought a Telsa from RSEV, from the time they first took my call to the time that I drove the car away the service was excellent. There was no pressure selling and I felt that they were helping me buy a car instead of selling me one. Communication was good and there was plenty of time given to explain everything about the process and about the car. I'd definitely recommend RSEV to anyone buying an EV

  • ...a great team of people

    ...no hesitation recommending you to anybody

    Having watched your YouTube videos for years and living not too far away in Poole I always hoped that if and when the time came for me to buy a used EV it might be from you guys. Well, that time has come and I couldn't believe my luck when one of the cars on my shortlist, a Polestar 2 Performance, popped up for sale on your site. I've been dealing with Jo on the purchase, and also Lewis when I popped in to view the car, and both were helpful, informative and made the process and my decision to purchase simple. I collected the car yesterday and am delighted with it. I would have no hesitation recommending you to anybody else looking to buy a used EV. Thanks all!
