Company details
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

Helpful & Friendly
Krystal was friendly not too pushy and down to earth.
We didn’t feel too pressured and she showed us respect when my wife and I discussed with each other what options suited us. She was very patient and helpful. Cheers Krystal

Car had major part issue within a week
Car had major part issue within a week. Had to email in a week later it was looked at. It took over three weeks to get part. Main dealer had this in for warranty inspection and found that the part they were going to fit would not sort the issue and needed some major work and cost over £4K. I have tried to call and email to discuss this and no repsonse only thst they would only replace one part over three months. Has to sort myself as could no be without car. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE try returning peoples call and repsonding to emails. NEVER AGAIN will i buy from here.

Hello Lisa,
We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced with your vehicle and the delay in getting this issue resolved. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be without your car.
We’d really like the opportunity to review what happened and ensure your concerns are properly addressed. Please contact our team directly at aftersales@jw-autos.co.uk , so we can look into this further and provide a full update.
We appreciate your feedback — it helps us improve our communication and service for all customers.
Kind regards,
JW Autos
Right place, Right time.
Right place, right time. We went in search of a replacement car following the failure of a gearbox on our old car. Luckily, just what we needed was just becoming available.
The team at JWA were very polite, helpful and good communicators. They helped us explore options and we settled on a good package for peace of mind going forwards.
They expedited the delivery of the car and we are back on the road again. What more can you ask? Biscoffs with your hot chocolate? They already do that!
