Bought a Golf TDI a few months back. Really impressed with it, never failed to start and payed less then the average asking price on auto trader with a very nice after market radio. Dealt with the same salesman twice, he was straight to the point, happy and was honest about his knowledge of the cars history. Let me test drive with no hassle and was a good experience for buying my first car!

I have to say that I have been disappointed with the quality of my car that I purchased from Keywise. The service when purchasing was great, Joe was really helpful. However, a few months after purchase, my car battery constantly kept cutting out and after taking the car to a local garage, it was assessed that the battery wasn't correct for the vehicle. I phoned Keywise, who were less than helpful and all was brought up was the warranty (which I urge people to read and understand thoroughly prior to purchasing) - no apology, which was poor as Keywise carried out a service on the vehicle prior to

A great selection of low mileage used cars awaits you at Keywise cars. For a used car dealership in 'the sticks' I was very surprised at what they had to offer. The staff were friendly, listened and understood our needs. We were free to test drive as many cars as we wanted, there was no pressure to buy, but once we had made a choice the purchasing process was simple. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Keywise Cars.

Great service in our time of need today after a silly mistake 🤦🏼♀️! Key wise were out within 20 minutes to fix the back door and open an old outside cupboard. No callout charge. Highly recommend!
