Welcoming and efficient staff.
Spacious and clean showroom with well presented new cars. Free hot drinks machine, seating, clean washrooms. Our car was delivered for a service and MOT. A reserved loan car was pre booked and made available. The tank was half full, and I was asked to return it at the same level. I had only used half a gallon so didn't refill. It is KAP practice to recover petrol usage, which is only fair. I was charged 3.80 for my 22 miles covered. I was more than happy with this scheme. The service and MOT was completed by mid-day, and when collecting the car all documentation

Went in as Nissan sent us a recall reminder for the rear seat lock. Booked and a good job done. Plus free coffee in the Nissan showroom.

I recently bought a used car from KAP and it was a very pleasant experience. There was no pressure from the salesmen and they were happy to leave us alone to look at the car and form our own opinion but were also available for any questions we had. The prices were very reasonable so there was no need to haggle on price and the experience as a whole was extremely smooth. A very big thank you to Harry who helped me throughout the process and kept me up to date every step of the way.

The used cars for sale are great value for money. The staff are very helpful but not pushy like some places. They work hard and fast for you. Alex has provided us excellent service.

First time using this garage and I was pleasantly surprised with the professional, friendly and courteous attitude of all members of the team I came into contact with. A big thank you to Holly who booked me in and took time to go through the results of the service and diagnostics checks. My car came back sparkling clean I can notice the positive difference in performance from having been serviced. Another plus was the waiting are had plenty of places to sit and all socially distanced. Cheers KAP team.

We booked a viewing for a used car that we had seen online. We were contacted quickly and an appointment was made. The process was very smooth and painless. Reece did most of the leg work whilst we were out on the test drive. Finance was arranged via an easy online system. Car purchased on a Monday and picked up fully clean and with a refurbished alloy on the Thursday. Very happy with the service we received. Thank you

I have used KAP Used Car Sales 3 times in the last 4 months and found them to be professional, courteous and providing an all round good deal. Dealing with Luke, Reece and Harry was great. Even recommended my daughter for a car from here too. I added the extended warranty and even when a manufacturer recall was required, they sorted a courtesy car and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely use these guys again!!
