Written by the company

With a family history in motor vehicle sales across Kent, I grew up surrounded by cars and developed a passion for the industry from an early age. In 2020, I decided to build something of my own — and JW Autos was born. What began with just three cars quickly grew into a thriving business. Within five years, we expanded our stock to over two hundred vehicles and earned a strong reputation for personal service, expert knowledge, and high-quality used cars. Our commitment to excellence has been recognised nationally, winning Newcomer of the Year and UK Independent Dealer of the Year (General Sales – Under 150) at the 2023 MotorTrader Independent Dealer Industry Awards. We specialise in reliable, great-value everyday vehicles, sourced through trusted networks to offer a wide range of popular makes and models. Every car is personally selected and put through a rigorous 147-point inspection at our 22,000 sq. ft. preparation centre, where our team of master technicians, painters, and detailers ensure each vehicle meets our strict Quality Standard. Despite our growth, our values of integrity, transparency, and genuine care remain central to everything we do. Whether it’s your first car or your next one, JW Autos is dedicated to offering a straightforward, friendly, and trustworthy buying experience. Jack Waddell Founder, JW Autos

There was no pressure to buy

There was no pressure to buy. The sales staff are very knowledgeable about all the cars. The prices are a little more than you would buy private but that is to be expected if you wan't the security of what you are buying.

We’re sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your visit.

Unfortunately, we do not accept credit cards as a method of payment, as we offer finance options instead. Due to previous instances of credit card fraud affecting our business, we operate a strict no-credit-card policy. We appreciate your understanding regarding this matter.

Most of it was a good experience

Most of it was a good experience. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
I would have given 5 stars but for one thing. Louie told me that the car would be valeted and the engine cleaned. It wasn’t. It had been washed and hoovered but the seats were still stained and there was dust around the dashboard, in the doors and under the seats. I assumed it had been done and didn’t check it before I took the car.
I have since done some cleaning but will have to get it done properly when I’m able. I didn’t return with the car as I have been too busy and I’m not confident that it would be done properly.

Thank you for your feedback and for highlighting the friendliness and helpfulness of our staff — we really appreciate it.

We’re sorry to hear that the valet and engine clean did not meet the standard that was promised or expected. We understand your disappointment, especially as you trusted that everything had been completed before collecting the car.

Your comments regarding the seats, dashboard, doors, and areas under the seats have been noted and will be shared with the team so we can improve our preparation process going forward.

We're sorry that your experience has left you feeling uncertain about returning to us to resolve the issue. That is never the impression we want to leave.

I bought a car from JW last year

I bought a car from JW last year, excellent service in the showroom, although a little bit too 'selly' on the extra products/warranties etc but to be expected. Excellent car, great value.

Today

Today, April 30th, 2026, I went to pick up a Mercedes Benz A-Class and I am extremely happy with my purchase. The person who assisted me was Ash Gill, an exemplary customer service representative. His patience in explaining everything made it much easier to understand what he was explaining, and his calm manner was great, without rushing me to choose something I didn't want. I recommend them 100% and would buy from JWAutos again👏👏
