Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 235 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the staff for being exceptionally friendly, welcoming, highly knowledgeable, and completely free of any high-pressure sales tactics during showroom visits. Consumers note that the entire vehicle buying process runs very smoothly from the initial test drive and paperwork handling all the way through to final collection day. However, some reviewers were not happy with post-purchase vehicle support, mentioning unexpected mechanical problems and unreturned phone calls regarding vehicle issues. A few other people also felt that overall complaints handling was poor, citing months of ignored emails and unresponsive management responses.

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

Excellent service from all the sales staff

All the staff who helped us to purchase a new car were really knowledgeable and helpful. Helping us to narrow down our search, taking cars out for a test drive, and eventually buying the one we wanted. On the day of collection, sorting out road tax and part exchanging our old car, the sales assistant was really quick and efficient!

Really good experience with Ash

We had a really good experience with Ash at JW Autos. He was very accommodating and did all he could to help us select the right vehicle. The manager could not allow any negotiation on the price of the car which was unfortunate however the overall customer service from Ash was great. Thanks again.

New car

I went along to look at a car I had seen online. I didn't know if I would be buying or not but the service I received made me feel in safe hands so I purchased the car, and from start to finish the experience went smoothly Sunny and Lilly were professional and easy to deal with. I would recommend this company.

No Care For Customers

Awful service regarding complaints handling and complying with legislation.

Had nothing but trouble with my vehicle since day 1 and have been attempting to return the vehicle since within 30 days of purchase back in February

Since going down this route Inese i have been ignored, fobbed off and outright disrespected.

I have never witnessed a more shameful service as someones who id regulated by the FCA

When i spoke to Inese asking to speak to the owner as i didn’t think she was dealing with the complaint fairly or promptly she replied “lifes not fair”

Could you imagine receiving this response from a regulated company and senior manager.

Spend your time and money elsewhere as if your car has a problem, god help you.

Will be pursuing legal action against JW autos

Lovely experience

Purchased a car recently from JW autos and the process was great. Super accommodating, they picked me up from the station as well!

In particular Crystal was amazing, helpful over the phone, kept me informed, and really friendly.

Definitely a dealership to recommend
