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

Recommend!

Everyone was very kind, polite, welcoming and super helpful! This was my first time buying a car for myself and everything was explained in great detail to make this process easy and understandable. The sales aspect of it was not pushy and they wanted to hear and understand what I was looking for, meaning they helped find the perfect car for me.

I would highly recommend JW Autos - Ash assisted me in the matter and I would also highly recommend him.

Happy customer

Really happy with the service received from this company. From the initial introductions, through to the sale of the car, the staff members were professional and polite. They were also extremely patient with me! The showroom was welcoming and clean, and the car was exactly as described on the advert with no hidden issues. Collection was really easy, and all transfer paperwork was completed for me which was a bonus. Would recommend.

Brilliant Experience Buying My New Car!

I recently bought a lovely car from JW Autos and couldn’t be happier! The whole experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. Loui was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Great service and a genuine, no-pressure approach. Highly recommend!

Well presented showroom & helpful staff

Really well presented showroom with a wider variety of cars available to view. Helpful staff who were not pushy and let us look at the vehicles in our own time then supported us through our decision making process.

I was treated so well from the moment I walked in the door with the receptionis, who made me a lovely hot latte. Louie was brilliant, warm and friendly, definitely an asset to the firm and no pressure at all placed on me to buy. Lilly was fantastic because she could sign in BSL, another great asset to the team. As a deaf person it can be truly intimidating to purchase a car - so Thank you to you both for being so warm and friendly. I will be sure to send Family or Friends your way. 😊
