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

Highly recommend

I bought my Clio from JWAutos just before Christmas and I can’t fault the service. Everyone was so lovely from the moment we arrived. I was shown the car taken out for a test drive and all my questions answered. Drove away the same day and have been loving the car ever since. I’d highly recommend the team here.

I had the best experience today

I had the best experience today! I was greeted by Krystal and she helped me understand everything i needed to know!

I didn’t feel pushed or rushed to make a decision and now I’m left with a beautiful car.

Also a big help from Lilly and Inese who helped me with insurance and documents etc.

I’d recommend JW Autos in a heartbeat!

Brought a car today and was assisted by Louie Barnes. Amazing customer service, no pressure and gave me plenty of options to look at. I brought my family and he got them fully involved in looking at the vehicles, including my enthusiastic son. We love out new vauxhall grandland!

Krystal

I had a great experience with this dealership from start to finish. All staff especially Krystal was friendly, professional, and not pushy. She took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt confident in my decision. The buying process was smooth, transparent, and much easier than I expected. I really appreciated Krystal’s honesty and attention to detail. I’m extremely happy with my vehicle and would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a stress-free car-buying experience.

Don't buy anything from here, especially a warranty. They making a lot of money from warranty but you don’t get anything!!!

JW Autos sold me an overpriced £1,000
extended warranty - around three times the price listed on the Warranties2000 website.
After I wrote this review, their manager, 1nese, personally promised to take full responsibility, saying they would either refund the full warranty cost so I could handle the repair myself, or help me deal with the warranty company to get the repair covered. I trusted these promises and followed up multiple times, but after months of ignored emails and visits, nothing was done. No refund, no support, and no resolution was provided.
I am now preparing a formal complaint to the Motor Ombudsman. This experience clearly shows how JW Autos mis-sold the warranty and failed entirely to support their customers.

Don't Buy the Warranty

We bought the car back in June and the staff were pleasant and helpful. The problem is they sold us a warranty which isn't worth the paper it's written on as it doesn't cover wear and tear which I found out after trying to make a claim. We're now £800 out of pocket thanks to this useless product.

Thank you for your review. We are pleased you found our staff pleasant and helpful, and sorry to hear about the disappointment with your warranty claim. 
Anything that naturally degrades over time is a standard exclusion across almost all warranty providers, but we always aim to explain the terms clearly at the time of purchase.
Would appreciate to review your case and see if there is anything we can do to help.  Please contact us at : aftersales@jw-autos.co.uk.

Many Thanks,
