Salesman Maurice Albert found exactly what I was looking for, a low mileage 6 month old Kia Niro Aspire to trade in my 2020 Niro 4. Excellent service throughout.

I brought a new car, with outstanding customer service

I brought a new car, its about my 4th new car from this dealership, although the wait for the car was somewhat longer than hoped, when the car arrived the process was seamless and quick, particular mention needs to be given to Danny Reynolds and Daniel Butler, both were exceptional and both ensured that once again, I left feeling like a valued customer. Outstanding customer service by these two

Great personal service!

Staff are friendly and courteous. I've had my car serviced there regularly for many years now and always found them first class. This year, for the first time, I had to arrange a collection and return (Note: You must be located within a 10 mile radius). Having arranged this some weeks ago, I was impressed with David, who rang me the evening before to confirm that he would be collecting my car the next morning at between 8:00 and 9:00. He duly arrived right on time and also returned my car that same afternoon. Great personal service!

Friendly environment, staffs are nice and helpful, even inside rain staff went out to show me where the car is parked. Good job done. I can’t wait to go back for servicing and MOT my car. I am over happy for good job done.

Dan and Danny at Harpenden

Both Dan and Danny are to be commemorated on their level of service and reassurance in helping myself and my sister getting a new car. Outstanding and so friendly and genuine with the deal and part exchange. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a new or used Kia to go see these guys

I saw a car I liked on the website and decided to go and look around Harpenden to see the actual cars. The staff were all so knowledgeable and helpful and I bought the car at a good price compared to other dealerships that I’d walked around. This is the third car I’ve bought from them over the years so I highly recommend Brayleys.

Booked my Kia in for an MOT and was provided extortionate prices for repairs.

I then ordered a part from them that didn’t arrive when expected, and when it did finally arrive it took me having to chase them rather then receiving a call as was promised repeatedly.

Definitely won’t be back

*EDIT 12/11 after Brayleys reply*

I will add specifics to make clear that the labour charges are also extortionate. I was quoted £244 to buy and fit an indicator repeater unit. The cost to buy was around £120 (which I purchased direct from the dealership), meaning the labour charge was ~£120. I got it fit at a different garage and they didn’t even bother charging for that part, saying it was only a few minute job!

That’s just one example…

Please please please, go to a local reputable garage and avoid dealerships like this.

Excellent Service - Brayley Kia Harpenden

I recently purchased a Kia Picanto from the Harpenden Brayley dealership and so very glad that I chose them. From start to finish, Jon Simpson was just fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and Jon went above and beyond in assisting with my enquiries/requirements.

I immediately felt reassured that I was buying quality and felt totally informed before I made a decision. I think the most important point to make is that I trust I have bought a good quality vehicle and am very satisfied with my car and the excellent service I received! I would definitely recommend this Dealership to friends and family.

Big "Thank you" to Colin for his brilliant support and expertise in selecting and purchasing my "new to me" Kia Sportage which I collected yesterday. Big thank you too for Danny who first took us out for a test drive in his Sportage a couple of weeks ago. Great service guys.
