After three days of buying the car the engine warning light came on. The fault is catalyst efficiency below threshold. Once the code is cleared the light comes back on after three days!! Warranty... See more

5* experience

Definitely a 5* experience! Sales rep Wesley was so helpful and really put me at ease with the finance purchase of my vehicle, such a smooth process and explained in great detail so that I felt comfortable making the big decision. All at George Kingsley were very professional and absolutely a credit to the owners. Would definitely recommend to others!

I just purchased a Vw Tiguan from George Kingsley ,all of the team were excellent! And very helpful Wesley, who I dealt with over the phone wasn’t in on the day or arrange to come and pick up, so the rest of the team were very helpful and looked after us when we arrived. Very good service and welcoming would definitely buy from here again.! 5 star!

Another great experience!

Purchased another car from George Kingsley. Brilliant service, smooth process and nothing too much. I have bought and part exchanged several cars over the years and they always provide a seamless and value for money service. I will be back soon!

If I could give zero stars then I…

If I could give zero stars then I would, we've had nothing but problems since we purchased our Ford Focus ST-3, when we bought the car we was told it was loud but unmodified, we later found out that it had a straight pipe on it (it came with a brand new MOT) so had therefore been modified and it shouldn't have even passed the MOT, the MOT garage had no recollection of ever MOTing the car so possibly a dodgy MOT, 3 times they done a failed repair and wouldn't let us get it fixed at a garage of our choice, instead everytime we had to take the car back to them, we had petrol fumes coming inside the car from the exhaust and they made us pay £150 towards the cost of the repair, when it still wasn't fixed the 3rd time we had to contact the finance company and ask them for help and when the finance company stepped in George Kingsley refused to accept the return of the car, which has now been collected and taken away to auction to be sold.

Their warranty is s**t and doesn't stand for anything, it's supposed to be a nationwide warranty but yet they made us take the car back to them everytime they done a failed repair, we purchased this car back in the beginning of November and it is now February and the car has just been collected for sale at auction.

You also cannot leave a review directly on their website, it has to be emailed to them and they then check it before deciding to post on their website, this is why they only have 5* reviews, because they filter them first so it makes them look good!!

If you can find another car somewhere else then you would be better off as it will be less headache and stress for yourself!

Great costumer service!

This was the fastest and easiest car purchase me and my husband have ever experienced. Dean was very knowledgeable about the car and go above beyond to get us a good deal. He was upfront and honest, which I knew because I had already done my own research on the car and price. It took us only 3days to get everything done. All the team in GK was very helpful. Thanks!

George Kingsley Motors Highley recommended

Hi

I bought a car from George Kingsley motors Colchester Essex.
I dealt with James Kingsley owner and director personally. I have to say in all my car buying
at 65 years old I have never had a service experience
like it, this man virtually goes the extra mile great cars, and his knowledge is second to none I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and all his garage staff for the first-class service provided including.

Hi part exchange the car with them when I was told they only could get about another two grand out of it when they got another 5K then I was sent a range Rover which was leaking gas into the cab. This was tested and it was positive for gases in the cab they brought me another one which was a BMW with a broken windscreen and they said it had been serviced and it had not as the service light kept coming on so I’ve now had it serviced still awaiting the glass to be sorted out so I asked for a different car to which the reply was give us £4000 which means it would’ve given me £13,000 for a car I paid nearly £9000 for and this was all in the space of 10 days this is a shame because I could give them so much more business in the car they were going to give me which I asked for they said they had lots of interest in it yet two weeks later it’s still on their books so they lied to me do not go there at any expense ever
