Thank you for your fantastic feedback, Stuart. We’re delighted to hear that your experience with Kia Barnsley was so positive from the initial sale through to delivery.

It’s especially great to know that Chloe Howes provided such friendly and helpful support throughout the process, taking the time to explain everything clearly and making things easy, particularly with the technology side of things.

I can't recommend Kia Vertu Barnsley…

I can't recommend Kia Vertu Barnsley branch highly enough! From start to finish, the whole experience has been outstanding.

I'd never used a Kia dealership before, but the team couldn't have done more to help. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely wanted to make sure I was happy every step of the way.

A special mention has to go to Craig, who is without a doubt the loveliest and funniest car salesman I've ever met. He made the entire process effortless, stress-free, and enjoyable from beginning to end.

When I collected my "new-to-me" Kia Sportage, Craig had it driven into the showroom and covered up so I could do a proper reveal. It was such a thoughtful touch and made the day feel really special.

The communication throughout was excellent, and I always felt well informed. The whole team goes above and beyond to make you feel valued, and it's clear that customer satisfaction is incredibly important to them.

I would 110% recommend Kia Vertu to anyone looking for a new or used car. Thank you to Craig and the whole team for making buying my Kia Sportage such a fantastic experience!

Alyson and Stuart

Bought a used car, Kia Exceed GT Line S, in green, fell in love with it as soon as we saw it. Brilliant start to the sale, terrible middle and brilliant end. However, it's not about what goes wrong, it's about how someone puts it right for their customer, we couldn't leave that fabulous car - step in Joe and the management team - pulled out all the stops to get us our car, they persevered with us as we did them, and we finally drove the car away, thank you to the team involved, but especially Joe, he was patient, understanding and sympathetic to our issues and moved heaven and earth for us, we are sure of that, thank you Joe.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that, despite some challenges along the way, Joe and the management team were able to turn things around and help you drive away in the Kia XCeed GT-Line S you had fallen in love with. It's wonderful to know that Joe's patience, understanding, and dedication made such a positive difference. We really appreciate your kind words and hope you enjoy every mile in your new car.
Many thanks,
Chloe

Purchase of new EV

I would 1000% reccomend Vertu Barnsley. I dealt mainly with Chris Nutbrown who was fantastic and couldn't do enough when purchasing my new EV. His communication and customer skills was top notch!
Also i dealt with Dean Heseltine. He was also extremely brilliant. Again, he couldn't have done anymore for me. Emailing me on his day off to make sure everything was going good with new car. I'm extremely grateful for the service i received and would defintely use Vertu Barnsley again in the future and recommend them to anyone!
