I read with interest the article regarding County Cars in Portslade and the artist, James Cauty, dumping his crushed car outside (The Argus, July 4).

My husband and I have bought four cars from Mr Berryman.

Each was an upgrade on the previous one and each purchase has proceeded without any problems whatsoever even to the extent that, when a new car which we had only had for six weeks was stolen from outside my house, Mr Berryman kindly loaned us a showroom car until a suitable one was found for us to buy.

So please don't tar this wonderful man with the "dodgy car salesman" brush.

I can think of several garages which deserve it and would rip you off, but not this guy.
