Exceptional service.

Bought 2 cars in a week first my wife’s then mine. First was a used Kamiq 1.0 then a brand new Octavia VRs both cars are absolutely stunning in their own right but the dealership was first class.

Huge thanks to Ben who dealt with us. His knowledge and enthusiasm really made a big difference.
He is what swayed my decision between getting a ŠKODA or returning to BMW as I was on the fence between two cars.

The level of service was outstanding compared to previous encounters with other dealerships in the area.
We live on the Isle of Wight so we couldn’t get to the dealership until it came to picking the cars up but the quick response emails, videos of the cars and phone calls made the process super easy and stress free.

The whole vibe of picking up a new car was exactly how imagined it in my head so I just want to say Thank-you to everyone at ŠKODA Richmond Southampton.

Final note the Octavia VRS is an absolute dream!

It was very straight forward to book an appointment with the dealership. I filled out an online form, someone from Richmond Motor Group rang me to make the appointment with Ben. I hadn’t met Ben before so when he greeted me as I pulled up to the showroom I did think this was a nice touch. I explained why I was looking for a new car and what my requirements were : petrol, family of 4, price range, likes/dislikes. From there, we walked around the showroom and the forecourt to look at the different models, boot space, additional features on the cars etc. Ben was very knowledgeable and professional throughout. Thank you Ben!

New Car shopping with Richmond Motors

selecting a car can be stressful but the Richmond branch at Botley were very friendly and attentive without being pushy. Our Salesman Ben Hodgson was very friendly , informative and professional and overall we had a very good overall impression of the team.

Ben Hodgson was great to deal with, he made the process of trading in and upgrading my ŠKODA so easy… I even travelled 150 miles to do the deal specifically with this dealership. I would 100% recommend the dealership and Ben Hodgson
