Unhelpful Staff Member
I came in today with the intention of buying a Byd Seal and the sales guy at the dealership was not helpful at all. He first assumed that I wouldn’t be able to afford the insurance and kept mentioning this throughout my visit. He then after multiple times of mentioning about my insurance asked my age. I am 21. He made a comment about how my NCD must be good as I get cheap insurance. After much discussion about whether I could actually insure the car that I hadn’t even seen any such deal on yet I asked about a test drive to make sure I liked the car and to no surprise he denied my request multiple times. I then left as be was not prepared to do any deal and I said to him I would go elsewhere and to which he replied “ok”.
Shame on him losing the sale for a bigger company such as byd where I would have done a deal today.

The best new car garage in Taunton.
I cannot recommend BYD Taunton enough. They were super helpful, friendly and not pushy like your typical salesman/woman. They took time to explain the car on collection. Called a few days later asking if they can help with anything and made us super welcome in the office. Thankyou BYD Taunton for such a smooth/ hassle free sale. Highly recommended. We love the car.

Problem with my BYD Seal, but handled well
Problem with my BYD Seal, not a great start, but the team at BYD Taunton were very understanding, made sure that I had appropriate replacement cars, so not left without transport. Updated with information at regular intervals, so 1* star for the car misbehaving, but they handled the situation in a friendly, so 5* stars for the staff and service

BYD Taunton were very professional, helpful and available
BYD Taunton could not have been more professional friendly or helpful. We purchased an Attoo 2 which we thought a great car at unbeatable value. Salesman Kelvin Barbosa was very personable and helpful and available throughout the sales process. His assistant Toby Little kept us informed on delivery dates and conducted an excellent handover of the new car with follow up phone calls to make sure we were happy with everything and answer our queries on vehicles controls/menus

Great service from Toby
Great service from Toby, At BYD Taunton.
Toby looked after us from the 1st meeting and test drive of the Seal U comfort model, we had a lovely afternoon, which is why I returned from Barry in Wales to purchase a new vehicle at the beginning of September 2025.
Toby has been in touch a number of times since to see how we are getting on with the car.
I will definitely consider returning to BYD Taunton to purchase another vehicle in the future.
The one thing that can be improved,
The BYD dealership in Taunton is in its infancy, with a small office and car park.
Hopefully it can grow into a bigger dealership.

Every step of the process was handled clearly and with great communication, which made me feel confident and valued as a customer.

He went above and beyond to make sure that I was kept informed and that any questions or concerns were taken care of quickly. His professionalism, patience, and dedication really stood out and made all the difference.
If you’re looking for not only a great car but also excellent after-sales service, I can strongly recommend BYD Taunton – they truly deliver.

Deven was the perfect salesman
We called on a Tuesday and collected the vehicle on Thursday. Deven was helpful, fastidious, pleasant and always called back when he said he would, unlike another dealer we were looking to purchase from. A real asset to the dealership. I believe he’s a trainee but he knocks spots off the salesmen we have dealt with in the past, of which there are many. Thank you for a painless transaction.

My recent purchase of the BYD Seal U DM-i on Friday was an absolute pleasure, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our new vehicle. From the moment we stepped into the dealership, the experience was exemplary, largely thanks to the outstanding support we received from Mr. Deven and Kelven. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine dedication truly made this a memorable and incredibly positive transaction.
Mr. Deven and Kelven went above and beyond to ensure all our questions were answered and that we felt completely confident in our choice. Their expertise on the Seal U DM-i's features, performance, and efficiency was evident, and they patiently walked us through every aspect, ensuring we understood the car's innovative technology. What truly set them apart was their unwavering commitment to providing an unparalleled level of customer service. They were not just sales representatives; they were true advisors, guiding us with integrity and a focus on our needs.
The BYD Seal U DM-i itself is a revelation. Its stylish design, spacious interior, and advanced plug-in hybrid technology perfectly blend comfort, practicality, and environmental consciousness. We are particularly impressed with its smooth drive, impressive range, and the seamless transition between electric and hybrid power. It's clear that BYD has delivered a vehicle that truly excels in its segment.
The entire purchasing process, facilitated by the exceptional team, was remarkably smooth and efficient. We felt supported at every step, and the transparency and clarity provided by Mr. Deven and Kelven ensured there were no surprises.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend both the BYD Seal U DM-i and, more importantly, the outstanding team at the dealership, especially Mr. Deven and Kelven. Their extreme support transformed what can often be a stressful process into an enjoyable and incredibly reassuring experience. We are now proud owners of a fantastic vehicle and look forward to many miles of enjoyable and efficient driving.
Thank you, Mr. Deven and Kelven, for your truly exceptional service!
