"Having hired from S&J Basildon branch…"

Having hired from S&J Basildon branch on numerous occasions I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a van. The staff are all extremely helpful, polite and go out of their way to help if they can. 10/10 I wouldn’t use anyone else.

"I was upgraded to a brand new van 😊"

Those nice people at S & J in Basildon didn’t have the Boxter van I was expecting, so look what they’ve given me instead. A fabulous new, and I mean “only done 300 miles” new, long wheelbase Transit.

What a great vehicle. I’m not a small person and the French van seats aren’t designed for a wider UK backside, like mine; something to do with the tiny portions you get with a continental breakfast compared to a good old full English. This Transit though, it’s like an arm chair, loads of room. I’ve also got osteoarthritis in one hip, but that’s okay because the seating position in the transit is perfect for dealing with this. I’m in and out of different cars and vans all the time, trucks and tractors too sometimes, and this new Transit’s without doubt the most comfortable vehicle I’ve driven in months.

I’ll have a better idea in 48 hours when I’ve put a few more miles on the van but the initial impressions are good, very good. It feels so solid, really well screwed together. There’s a good radio and loads of pockets and cup holders.

There’s a good chance Dean’s not going to get this one back. I love it.

I guess I should say something about the staff at the Basildon branch of S and J; As always they were brilliant this morning. They got all the van hires who’d turned up before me away quickly with no fuss and hardly any waiting around. They’re always so good it’s hard to find something new to say about them. They’re even good value.

Now I’m off to do some work, deliveries and collections all weekend, So lots of time in the van,

happy days😊😊😊

"Brilliant service"

Brilliant service. South ockendon branch always helps me out whenever I need to get a van asap. Never had a problem and I don’t think I ever will.

"S&J makes hiring a van a pleasurable experience."

I've used S&J van hire from Ockendon on numerous occasions over a number of years and each time I have received excellent service. Other businesses could learn a lot from these guys.
Keep up the good work.

"A really positive experience"

I've just returned the vehicle and was really impressed by the quality of the Vauxhall van and the ease with which I was able to collect and return it. The staff at the Romford branch are helpful and straightforward - a pleasure to deal with. Seems to me to be a genuine family company that does its best for its customers. Would definitely recommend.

"Absolute joke!!"

My name is sarah mist. While on hire a stone chipped the window screen, on returning the van I was told it can’t be repaired so I had to pay for a new one. An invoice was sent to me and within 30mins they took the £300 from my account WITHOUT my permission!! I’m a single mum with 4 kids moving house by myself and this has made it more stressful. I have explained this but the company from south ockendon are not responding to me at all!!!
I’m now £158 overdrawn and have no money at all!!! I have got legal advice and now have to take legal action as should have only paid £50 excess and the money should never of been taken as I emailed them to set up a payment plan and they have left a single parent with no money. UN
