Craig at Vertu Motors Barnsley brilliant!

I’ve just collected my 6 month old Kia Sportage HEV. I have had many cars over the years so visited many car dealers. I can honestly say this was the best ever. Craig was absolutely brilliant. He was genuinely welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. He makes customers feel like they are the most important person in the world. Not in an overbearing or pushy way. Just comes over as a really honest and helpful guy. Compared to other dealerships Craig and Vertu Barnsley are the crème de la crème. I would definately recommend them.

I have just collected my nearly new Kia EV6 from Vertu at Barnsley and from start to finish it has been a pleasurable experience.

Joe was my sales negotiator and he went the extra mile, making sure that everything went smoothly, answering all of my questions and queries. Thanks Joe.

I have bought quite a few cars over my driving career and consequently I have used a lot of different dealerships/ traders nationwide, I can honestly say Vertu Barnsley stand head and shoulders above the rest, by far.

I have come away thinking that they genuinely valued my business.

Kia Barnsley

Been a customer of Kia Barnsley for 12 years now and the service team of Liz and Becky have always gone the extra mile to help so when I needed a new car it was a no brainer to go buy there and Chloe was fantastic in the sales team from answering my questions about the car I wanted to ensuring a smooth sale with communication every step of the way always with a smile so it’s a big thanks to her for everything. The staff here are always honest with you and friendly and they have a customer in me for years to come

Craig was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. He helped us to find the car we wanted then explained all the sale paperwork to us and confirmed we were happy with all the details. There was no hard sell and we are extremely happy with our new vehicle. 1

Craig at Barnsley was fantastic

Craig at Barnsley was fantastic, he explained everything thoroughly for our first EV purchase. He put us totally at ease and it was a natural conversation rather than a heavy sales pitch. He also makes an excellent cuppa and provides a biscuit. Would highly recommend to anyone!
