Customer Reviews

Excellent service and customer care. James Meadley has been my immediate contact this time and was very thorough with everything. I have also dealt with Andy Simpson in the past who was excellent. I have to say,as somebody who is not naturally interested in the car trade, that I feel so welcome anytime I attend the West End showroom. I would also like to mention the young lady on the switchboard( sadly cannot recall her name) who has a warm and friendly nature,and is a stand out credit to your company.

Leslie Chatfield

Hello Leon, Firstly, thank you for finding my lovely car, and especially your help and guidance with the purchase. Your service was first class, and we know if there is a problem/advice we can always contact you. We love the car, just waiting until Thursday when we can go for a good run.. We are certainly glad that we decided on the Picanto 3 and not the 2. Thank you once again. Kind regards, and have a lovely Christmas. Norma Stallard

Car collected, serviced cleaned and washed and returned to me at the time advised. Have used this dealership for 20 years and recommended to many.

Hilary Newton

We have always recommended westend garage because everyone is so welcoming. Tor the salesman was brilliant, friendly and explained everything clearly, I feel I can call him anytime if I have a problem. Tor was always happy and smiling offered coffee straight away, and did everything to make us feel welcome and comfortable under the circumstances of covid.

Diana Taylor

Great service from the friendly reminder to book in for service, to reception, greeting & check-in, thorough service including optional extras, car valeting and courteous phone comms from Basil in Service Dept. Couldn't ask for more! Great job! I'm a longtime customer on my 4th Kia supplied and serviced by West End Garage. Rarely been disappointed with any level of service and they genuinely care and look after their customers.

They are 100% the best place I've ever bought cars from. Everything within the dealership was relaxing from all sides, The Salesman Chris was exceptional from start to finish! Nothing was too much. Ive seen Chris in the dealership for many years and West End Garage have done well to keep hold of a great asset in him. I hope to see many more years of him and hopefully purchase more in the future. Dont change West End Garage and dont lose Chris. Many thanks all again!

Hi Paul Thanks for your email. We were delighted to receive back a clean car delivered by a very friendly gentleman. The service from your garage and team is never short of top-notch. Please pass our thanks to everyone. Kind regards John and Shirley

John Durrant

From start to finish I found all the team very helpful, they were extremely friendly and very professional. I did not feel pressured at any time and I was guided through the procedure with ease. Thank you to all the team. I would like to mention Nigel Taylor who gave me a fantastic experience. From start to finish Nigel guided me through all the relevant paper work carefully explaining all the details so I would understand as this was my first time buying a new car. So a big thank you Nigel.

Kathleen Grant

Friendly, open and honest service with no feeling of pressure to order. Excellent product knowledge and recognition of me as a returning customer. One point removed as had to chase to find out what was happening after lockdown announced.

Bethan Mitchell

The Simplicity and ease of dealing with them all at West End Garage Kia - have already recommended them on to someone already. As a woman shopping and looking at all different cars and brands I was put at ease immediately and throughout. I had done my research and they answered all my questions. I appreciated the time they took to make it easy, affordable and not too much to-ing and frowing back and forth. I had already made an appointment in the afternoon to test drive but my mobile was playing up so I couldn't listen to their voice message confirming the time. I popped in far earlier in the day on the off chance and to confirm the time and they quite happily squeezed me in there and then and also kept the appointment I originally made to come back with more questions and my husband. Will and Chris were exceptional and down to earth. They were very friendly to deal with and allowed me to keep an eye on the screen at the England rugby score in the showroom whilst dealing with all my questions! So I never felt they were pushing me for a sale at all.

Yvette Laister

Jason Wood was fantastic, courteous and polite throughout the Sales process. Jenna did an astonishingly good talk through the car controls. Both were exemplary. Zero pressure and every possible help that could be offered, was provided.

John Joyce

Excellent service as usual. Have been using West End garage since 2010 and always had excellent services.

Dealt with Andy who I met 6 years ago when I financed my first KIA. He's always an absolute star.

Alison Andrews

THANK YOU KIA ONCE AGAIN FOR FABULOUS SERVICE Thank you Kia once again for fabulous service and my new fabulous whip. Travelling in style.

Mr & Mrs Bettess

Good morning Paul, Thank you for your concern very much appreciated. I will be using the car later today, and feel sure it is in perfect condition. The service received from you is always first class, and expect no difference this time. To collect and return was exceptional, as explained we only have the one car now, which made it difficult for me at this time. Keep safe all of you, kind regards, Gin Markey.

Gin Markey

Both myself and my wife walked into the dealership and we were met by kind people to help guide us through the process. We were shopping around for a new car but were not fixed on any particular model or make. After speaking to Jason we looked at the cars. I was taken back by the quality of the Kia's. I would not normally have gone down this route as all the cars I have owned in the past have been mostly German. We kept looking and after finding a blue one (Kia Sportage 1.6CRDi (134bhp) GT-Line S 48V ISG Station Wagon 5d 1598cc DCT) it ticked all the boxes for me and I was extremely impressed. Everything flowed so well during our visit both myself and my lovely wife decided on the way home that this was the one. After getting home we put the deposit down that day and the rest as one says is history. To sum up the quality and caring nature of all the staff at the woking branch and I must mention some names but would include Ellie on reception who is amazing, Jason as mentioned, Will for helping us and lets not forget Jenna who showed us around the entire car which was super helpful. The cars are excellent as well but it was the people that did it. So good not to have pushy sales folk in your garage we really appreciated that. Thank you to all of you for helping guide us through the decision making from model of car through to which various insurance covers we should take out (service pack/GAP insurance etc). We have had the car just over a wk and so far so good. What's my favourite option, it has to be the heated steering wheel (I know I know I get cold hands alright!!) I would like to mention a few names. Ellie, very kind with an excellent phone manner, she is really helpful and patient. She cares about the customers and I can see very much why she is front of house so to speak as the first point of call when people phone in. Thank you Ellie for your help! Jason and Will for all the dealings with and around the car from make/model to spec and costs. Thanks both, good job and appreciate it. Jenna, to you too for driving the car out of the showroom (might need to get those doors looked at by the way as they were indeed hard to open!) and for taking us around the entire car. We learnt lots and it made the transition much easier into the car. Thank you for your help there.

Oliver Stoneham

Make you feel important to them as their customer and offer very competitive deals. Chris Gregg, always greets you with a smile, handshake and makes you feel important to him as a customer. Any questions my wife and I had about the new car were dealt with efficiently and any future problems he would happy for us to give him a call.

Peter Caulfield

Top class service from Will, Chris and the team from start to finish. Kept updated due to lock down. Very friendly team whom make the process enjoyable.

Deborah Tomkins

Dear Paul, I’m a 1st time Kia owner. I had a problem with my handbrake button – From booking the appointment to collecting my car, I have had nothing but the best customer experience. Even the car got an unexpected clean ! Huge thanks from a Very happy, Very satisfied, and seriously impressed customer. Sharon

Sharon Clarke

We would 100% recommend the dealership. Tork was very patient, knowledgeable and at no time did we feel pressured. The whole experience was excellent. Tork Butt was excellent. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and patient.

Louisa Wiseman

Due to current COVID-19 pandemic restrictions customer service was justifiably limited but I was given the dealer's best possible service under the circumstances. I have purchased several new Kia cars from the West End dealership over several years and all transactions have been processed by the same salesman [and now sales manager... Andy Simpson]. All purchases have been excellent 'experiences'. Andy Simpson [Sales Manager] deserves to be 'recognised' for providing an excellent 'all-round' sales experience. He is a very competent and knowledgeable salesman who is prepared to spend time and listen carefully to the customer's requirements. For me it is Andy Simpson's competence that will ensure I return for future car purchases

Simon Horne

Everyone we met especially Nigel were absolutely brilliant. The latter part of our experience was rushed because of the coronavirus situation, and we cannot use the car as we would have done.But we were given a no to ring if we needed help and when life is back to normal we will return for some questions that we have.

Ken Mumford

Welcoming service, very happy with addressing all my queries, in person or by email. Chris Gregg - thank you for all your help answering all my questions

Sorina Biletchi

WONDERFUL SERVICE Dear Mr Johnson Thank you for your email today. I was so impressed with the service I received this week. My car was picked up from my house, serviced, washed and cleaned and returned to me all within the space of a few hours. I never cease to be amazed by the wonderful service I always receive from West End Garage. Best regards Colin Salmon

Mr C. Salmon

PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH! THEY ARE ALWAYS HELPFUL, PROFESSIONAL & PRO-ACTIVE. GREAT TEAM.

Sharon Marti

Brilliant staff. Helpful and very efficient. Tor from west end garage was exceptional with his service. Made you feel welcome and remained in constant contact especially during such a tough time

Benjamin Lonergan

Leon was extremely helpful but not at all pushy. He explained everything clearly from the beginning. He was very approachable and friendly. Felt like Id known him for years

Juliette Piesley

VERY PERSONAL SERVICE - GOOD FAMILY FEELING Good customer service, very personal service and no hard sell. Good family feeling. Excellent service from first initial visit to date. James Meadley was very helpful from the beginning without pressurising us. Nothing was too much trouble.

M. Hills

The salesman Andrew MacDonald was extremely professional and nothing was to much trouble. The whole experience was amazing the sale executive Andrew MacDonald was professional and nothing was to much trouble I would differently recommend this dealership.

WE ARE VERY HAPPY CUSTOMERS :-) The service given on Wednesday can not be rated as a 9 or 10 as it was clearly an 11!!!! Many many thanks --- all went really well and we are very happy customers. See you next year. :-)

Mr Ian Hay

WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND YOU TO FRIENDS & FAMILY Dear Mr Dunne, Yesterday my wife and I ordered the Kia Niro EV from your garage.We were privileged to have Shelley Matthewman as our sales executive in the process of test driving and viewing our chosen car. Shelley was most professional in her attitude towards us and has great people skills which I am sure you are aware of. Her enthusiasm is second to none and we are assured that we will be kept up to date re build time and delivery in the coming months. We wish West End Garage much success and would not hesitate to recommend you to friends and family. Kind regards Chris and Terry.

Mr & Mrs Keating - Email of thanks

Thank you, Paul, for your e-mail. My husband and I are delighted with the service you and your team provide. Having the MOT plus service was so easy , especially as you were able to pick up the car from our home, to return it later all beautifully serviced, cleaned and sanitised. We would , without doubt offer you 10 for all tick-box points. I have recently filled in the survey and made sure that you received the highest points possible - plus that we would highly recommend you to friends. Keep well, keep safe Best wishes, Jackie Dudley

Jackie Dudley

Extremely helpful sales personnel - providing information and keeping in contact during lockdown. Jason Fowler - providing an excellent initial introduction to the Niro range with follow-up assistance during purchase.

Trevor Sharp

Jason Wood sales executive from the initial contact relating to the purchase of an ex demo vehicle he listened to our requirements and put forward a very compelling case to purchase new. What a fantastic choice we made both from the dealership to the vehicle we purchased.

Maria Pond

We would like to thank and post a POSITIVE feedback on Jason, Chris and the Manager at West End Garage who made our car purchase a trouble free experience.

Its a rare quality of service in this day and age. Well done!!! Regards Martin & Debbie Culter

Martin & Debbie Culter

Always brilliant service from Chris Gregg and the rest of the team, an absolute pleasure doing business with them. And of course I love my Niro

Jacqueline Garland

Good afternoon Paul The service was excellent as always , includes collection and delivery staff, many thanks to them both. Car wash was a lovely gesture. Have always been happy with all of your staff. It is sadness that my two cars will being coming back to you soon , this is regarding Chris Gregg and Tork enabling me to purchase a new stonic. The new car will have a 3 year service schedule, so it will be great for me in the future knowing the service will be in good hands. Kind regards Wayne Gregory

Wayne Gregory

Great service and really pleased with the car. The garage is also very conveniently located - we had a 30 minute drive to most other competitor dealerships (compared to under 10mins for Kia). Torkel Butt - really excellent service from start to finish. Especially given we had 2 lockdowns between starting our research and collecting the car making the process even more challenging. Really nice to meet a car sales man who knew his stuff but was not just after the hard sell. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Sophie Holt

West End Garage Woking are in my mind the best Kia dealer in my area and I would not go elsewhere. There staff are exemplary.  And the service and staff at West End Garage are knowledgable, friendly and helpful.

Denise Rumming

We came to pick up our lovely new Sportage last week and would like to thank you for your excellent service. Tork was brilliant. He is smart, efficient and extremely pleasant. A real pleasure to deal with. It was so great to have someone like him to deal with and make everything easy. We will certainly recommend your garage to our friends. Many thanks Claire Paice

Claire Paice

SERVICE & ATTENTION SECOND TO NONE 100 percent recommended - Because of the courteous and professional way in which all matters were dealt with during the buying process, from the initial ordering to the final delivery and hand over. The service and attention that I heave experienced from West End Garage was second to none, and I would happily buy from them again. In addition, I would certainly recommend this dealership to any friends and colleague who are considering buying a new car. The salesman Matthew Gratton went out of his way to be helpful at all times, and he was very knowledgeable when it came to explaining the electronics and workings of the car during the hand over process.

Peter Howell

Jason clearly knows his stuff and couldn't have made the experience of buying a car from Kia more easier or enjoyable. His knowledge of the product was first class and made the process very smooth. Even coming in to work on his day off to finish the job on collection day. I would certainly buy a car from him again. Jason Fowler Obviously very experienced. Very friendly and easy to get on with. He pretty much sold us a car before we'd decided which car we wanted. We felt like he couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much of a chore. We ended up buying two cars!

Christopher Hawkins

Chris at West End Garage was friendly, courteous, informative, knowledgeable & was very pleased to give a good deal. Chris made the whole process run smoothly & efficiently from start to finish. Highly commendable.

Geoffrey Woodcock

Chris Gregg, gave us all the answers we needed, even stopped the traffic in pouring rain, to get us on the road!

Derek Buckell

I was recommended to the garage because of the service my friend has received and I would definitely recommend to my family and friends. I called the garage during lockdown as couldn’t go to the garage I dealt with Chris Gregg and he was so helpful and found the exact car I was looking for and made the whole experience seamless front start to finish I’m very pleased with the service I received and the car of course. I dealt with Chris for the purchase of my car as it was lockdown it was all done over the phone until point of pick up but I spoke to Chris about what I was looking for and he went through everything he could do for me and managed to find my car straight away, I had to wait for delivery of course but Chris kept in touch to let me know the progress being made and arranged pick up as soon as was able to do. The day came to collect my car and having not met Chris in person he made the whole process very smooth and explained everything thoroughly from the paperwork to the gap insurance the customer service I received was of a very high standard so would like Chris to be recognised for this.

Amelia Rowell

E. DAY - Kia Uk Feedback

I HOPE WE MEET AGAIN WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR UPGRADING TO ANOTHER KIA! Dear Shelley I would like to say a big "thank you" for all your kind and able assistance during the recent purchase of my Kia Sportage. Your attitude, knowledge and friendly co-operation made the experience most pleasant and showed West End Garage in a very positive light. I'm sure you will be deservedly successful in your relatively new career. Milly and I had a good journey home and after having used the car a little more I find that it exceeds my high expectations. I hope we will meet again when the time comes for upgrading to another Kia! With very best wishes. David

Daniel Murphy

Hi Paul, Just to say thanks to you and your staff for the excellent service I have always had and would always give 10/10 for the any survey sent and a special thanks to the 2 Gentleman who came to pick up my car as it wouldn’t start due to lack of use during the lockdown.

Jake Davies

FANTASTIC PERSONAL SERVICE, HOW A DEALERSHIP SHOULD BE RUN.

KIRSTIE JONES

Excellent personal attention. Tor was the salesman, he programmed both my phone and radio to the stations that I requested also offered tea or coffee when I first arrived. Due to Covid restrictions everything was completed at a safe distance.

Doreen Power

THE TEAM AT WEST END GARAGE WERE EXCELLENT FROM START TO FINISH

Eileen LaCombre

I have recommended west end to 3 friends who have all brought cars from the garage. Nigel helped us all the way through the process and explained everything to us. This is the 4th sportage we have brought from West End.

Emily Etherington

In 2014 I was near to the garage when my previous vehicle, a VW developed a problem and I called in asking for assistance. I was so pleased with the help and advice I received it led to my purchase of a brand new Kia Ceed. Over the last 6 years I have always had excellent service and nothing is too much trouble. In the current crisis I am on age grounds clinically vulnerable so arranged to use 'collect and return' for the first time. I was most impressed as the whole process went very smoothly and it was provided free of charge whereas I was expecting to incur a cost.

Susan Hawes

Great service by Chris Gregg once again. such a lovely salesman and my 3rd time dealing with him.

Donna Dunlop
