This is the third vehicle i have sourced through Kim at Select Car Leasing. Kim went that extra yard to find the best deal for us and is extremely responsive to all of the administration that comes with leasing a vehicle. Nothing is too much trouble and i cannot speak too highly of her! She is a great asset to Select Car Leasing. Spencer (Ampella Maintenance Ltd)
