Seamless service provided by Brayleys

Seamless service provided by Brayleys. Received a phone call as a reminder that my service was due. Booked in and checked in using the online service email received prior to my appointment. On the day I was kept informed of my vehicles progress along with being notified once it was completed. On collection my car had been cleaned. I was sat down and all the paperwork including costs were fully explained including any advisories. Can’t fault the service supplied again

Fourth car with Brayleys and still outstanding service

I’ve just purchased my new Mini through Brayleys and part‑exchanged my old car, and the whole process was effortless. This is my fourth car with Brayleys, and the reason I keep coming back is people like Kevin Sperrin. Kevin is fantastic - attentive without being pushy, quick to answer questions, and genuinely committed to getting the best possible deal. He kept me updated at every step, handled all the paperwork smoothly, and made the part‑exchange simple and transparent. Yet again, Brayleys have delivered friendly, reliable service and great value. Thank you, Kevin I couldn’t be happier!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Would give more if I could!)

Brayleys Thurrock Damaged my car post Honda Car Service

Visited Brayleys Thurrock (Honda Service Center) recently and upon collection, immediately noticed car had been damaged very badly (scratches and front body work damaged)

Contacted the garage immediately whilst I was there and also contacted head office and experienced extremely poor customer service.

Matter still unresolved and I am left with a damaged car. Avoid at all costs.

Kevin Made Buying a Car Actually Enjoyable!

Kevin's car-buying experience was the best by far! He had a very laid-back and sincere feeling, not at all like a pushy salesman. Without making me feel hurried or under pressure, he helped me find the ideal fit by taking the time to truly listen to what I needed. The entire procedure seemed simple and completely open. Go directly to Kevin if you want a seamless, reliable experience and to truly feel satisfied with your purchase. He is indeed a treasure!

Always good service

I have always found Brayley’s reliable and always get good service from them. On this occasion, since no longer being a sales company for Mazda (now a service centre), I had the feeling that there was more emphasis on upselling which I have not experienced before in the 5 years since I purchased my car from them.

Hi Martin, Thank you very much for your honest feedback. We are glad that your overall experience was positive but will make note of the areas where improvements can be made, to improve future customer experiences.

Good Service

Kevin was a pleasure to interact with. He is warm, friendly and professional. The vehicle was as described, however I did request a full description (as the garage is far from where I live) of the vehicle's specification on a couple of occasions but this was not provided. Thankfully, upon inspection the car had everything that I was looking for.

Excellent, helpful, no pressure. A pleasure to deal with.

Kevin at Thurrock provided excellent sales service, from his knowledge of the car, responsive phone calls, the test drive and query handling. Unfortunately the car wasn't a match to my requirements but there was no pressure selling. If the car was a match I'd have bought. I enjoyed the buying process and was disappointed that the car didn't live up to my expectations.

I purchased a new Honda CRV at Brayleys Thurrock last week and the service I received was fantastic, Kevin was extremely helpful and made sure to keep in touch throughout the process, Jose was also a pleasure to deal with and at no point did I feel like I was being 'over sold'. Second time buying from Brayley's thurrock and I'm sure it won't be the last! Thanks for the great service and friendly smile!
