Went in to look for a potential new…

Went in to look for a potential new Skoda car and left with a new Citroën car instead,
Staff were friendly and accommodating when asking questions about certain aspects and opinions for best suited car for what I wanted it for.
They offered umbrellas for us as it began raining during the visit.
The sales lad Jordan that ended up assisting me with the purchase was extremely helpful and even insisted on test driving the two cars in the end that I was unable to decide between allowing me to see what one was more my feel for driving, I was apprehensive of test driving as I'm a bit of a worrie and only like driving my own cars but im glad he insisted on the test drive as one of the cars I was looking at when I entered and drove I was able to know it definitely wasnt the car for me.
Ive had the car 2weeks now and i am really enjoying my new car and hope this one lives up to the same expectations as my last car that was purchased from Bridgend 8.5 years ago.
Only thing that has let the rating down was the cleanliness of the car upon picking the car up after it had been to get cleaned prior to collection and there was dirty inside and scratches on the leather seats that weren't there the day before when I had a look at the car. Also wheel bolt cap covers where missing for one of the tyres.
But over all happy with the process and would recommend having a look if your after a new car.

Great Service…

Initially spoke to Craig on the phone and followed up with a visit to see the car. The car was ready to drive away the same day and Craig was extremely helpful and had all the paperwork ready. This was the most straight forward purchase I have ever made with no pressure whatsoever and a very good trade in value given. Would definitely recommend this Company to friends.

Service manager attitude and conduct

Not very Happy with the conduct of the service department manager. I've been a constant customer for 8 or more years without an issue. I returned my vehicle as it would have failed the MOT on front Passenger wheel bearing, This was changed the previous year by their service department because of MOT failure. Because there was new parts put on in July 2025, bearing in mind MOT was August 2025, they deam the car has been involved recently in an accident due to the condition of parts on vehicle. Will not replace wheel bearing under warranty. Basically between going backwards and forwards with Manager, he has refused to do any work on vehicle. Very disappointed. Lost faith now

Reply from Bridgend Motor Group - Kilmarnock Autoplex

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your recent experience.

At Bridgend Group, we take all customer concerns extremely seriously, and we would like to assure you that we are committed to fully investigating the issues you have raised. We have already discussed your concerns with our Service Manager, who has confirmed the details you have outlined. He has confirmed that the component you are asking us to process as a warranty claim is, in his opinion, no longer the original part fitted by us. Both he and another member of our team have advised that this was confirmed with you previously, although it appears there have since been several amendments to the information provided, which has understandably led to some confusion.

As you have been a valued customer of ours for the past eight years, we want to ensure this matter is handled fairly and transparently for everyone involved. To that end, we would like to invite you to visit one of our alternative branches so that the vehicle can be independently assessed by another Service Manager. This will provide an impartial inspection and allow us to review the situation objectively.

Our Service Manager will provide the evidence that supports his position regarding the warranty claim, and we would ask if you could also provide the invoices and documentation you referred to in your discussions with him, together with an accurate timeline of events. This information will help us establish the full picture, remove any misunderstandings, and allow us to assess the matter based on the available evidence.

We believe the fairest approach is to draw a line under the confusion, start afresh, and review everything objectively before reaching a conclusion.

While we fully respect your right to leave a review, we are disappointed that this was the first step taken, as our Customer Services team would have been more than happy to assist you directly and work with you towards a resolution. Given that you have been a valued customer for many years, we hope you know how highly we regard customer service and how committed we are to resolving concerns wherever possible.

Our Customer Services team remains open to working with you to resolve this matter. Please contact us at customerservices@bridgendgroup.co.uk with the supporting documentation, and we will ensure your evidence is reviewed promptly, fairly, and without delay.

We look forward to hearing from you and hope we can bring this matter to a satisfactory resolution.

Fantastic experience with Bridgend …

Fantastic experience with Bridgend Motors. Following my email query, Chris Caldwell provided an instant, personalised video response via What’s App —using my name as he walked me around the car. He was friendly, professional, and there was zero sales pressure. Even after I bought a car from another company, they followed up with genuine congratulations and offered future support. It is rare to find a dealership so focused on the customer rather than just making a quick sale!

Nice car, service poor.

I bought a three year old Vauxhall Grandland from Bridgend in Kilmarnock and am fairly pleased with the car,however a few things left a bit of a bad taste.
I was promised all the things that were missing would be replaced, ie the inflation kit out of the boot and the car mats. On the day I picked the car up i found a £2 foam aerosol in the boot instead of the inflation kit and no mats. The salesman promised they would be delivered to my local garage and he would phone me to pick them up. Needless to say a month later they haven't appeared.
The main reason however for the poor review is I was promised a tank of fuel. The salesman actually drove to the petrol station to fill it while I was waiting.
When I got in the car to drive the 12 miles home the dashboard screen had been changed so the petrol guage wasnt ahowing and not knowing how to change it I didn't realise the car was less than three quarters full until I got home. The guage had been showing when I test drove the car a few days earlier. I filled the car after driving the 12 miles from the garage and it took £25. Its a pretty poor show after spending £15000 on a car and i wouldn't buy from them again.

VW Caddy Maxi Life

Salesman Andy Watson is a credit to your sales team no pressure and made the sale very smooth ,I will say though preparation of my new vehicle when I went to pick it up wasn’t the best .

Brilliant friendly and professional…

Brilliant friendly and professional service. All work that was asked by finance company to be done on car was done they even did the timing belt too. Jordan our sales rep was fantastic at keeping us up to date and didn’t even mind when I kept messaging him constantly as I was nervous as last car I bought from another dealership broke down within two weeks. He was so patient and understanding. Jordan even picked us up from train station when went to pick car up. Even when I phoned to say oil light was coming on intermittently and I had it checked and was told it was over filled Kevin in sales was no problem bring it in and we will get it sorted brilliant

Great service

Delt with jordan hendry recently when buying a corsa. What a fantastic salesman. Gave us time to look round and wasnt pushy. He kept us updated when car would be ready and answered all our questions immediately. Jordan was always open and honest with his opinion so we always felt at ease. Made buying a new car a lot easier and stress free

Good salesmanship

Mykell the car salesman was very helpful and friendly. We didn't feel pressured in any way to make a purchase and we are very happy with our Ford Ranger

On arrival was met by member of sales staff named Jordan, who was not pushy in any way and left us to look at the cars on display on our own, which is what we like to do.
When we had decided on the car that we wished to purchase, Jordan was very helpful and polite in completing the relevant paperwork required and the timeline for picking up the car was adhered to exactly.
In conclusion, we could not fault the staff manner or the service received and would have no hesitation in recommending Bridgend Motors to family and friends and we will return to this company for any future car purchases.

Have dealt with Bridgend for a number of years and have always been treated well. Our sales person this time was Jordan and he found the exact vehicle we required and kept us up to date on all aspects of the work being done.
