Couldn't wish for better 5* service

They are not like the normal pushy sale we all hate to deal with. More like a trusted family member or a friend you take along for advice. And the after sales service is second to none

Friendly Knowledgeable Sales Service

Had an excellent experience with Troy at Kia Grantham when looking for our first electric car. He took the time to show us some different used options that we also test drove that might suit us after we explained our particular requirements. Unfortunately there weren't any options in stock that quite met what we needed. (We settled on a new van based electric MPV in the end). We'll be back when our other car comes up for replacement in a couple of years. - loved the EV6!

Bad attitudes and thieves.

What started as a pleasant experience ended up being hardship and nigh on theft. With in 1 day, I had 2 voicemails and an email for the deposit of 250 on the car. Which I paid as I was going ahead. Despite their extortionate 15.9% finance deal. They did offer some attractive offers my way and was agreeing to it. Though in the end I intended to take the finance elsewhere and source it myself as there were better deals. This was the first attitude shift. All deals were stripped and it was the base price for the car as I was not going through them. I was told "well we can't stop you." I still continued with the vehicle, however a better spec at a more affordable rate came up. 9.9% interest, the payments were far cheaper and so I asked for my 250 back. I was immediately inundated by phone calls and email chasers. I provided my BACS details as requested and this was processed allegedly by their finance team. Almost 2 weeks later, I am still chasing my money as they are not sending it and fobbing me off. Il get back to you shortly was the last email.....waiting 36hrs and still nothing. Never known an attitude shift like it. Poor representation of the KIA brand and by far poor representation of sales staff. Have now had to threaten formal proceedings as they are still unlawfully with holding my money.

Unless you're dead set certain on the car, DO NOT pay them a deposit as they will drag their heels if you change your mind....and for heavens sake do not change your mind as their attitude with you....your lower than faeces to them.

Hi Lewis. Firstly, I am absolutely aghast at what I have just read as that does not reflect on how we run this business and treat our customers. I don’t quite think the whole truth has been made available on here as we’re desperate to get the money back to you but we need you to provide us proof of your bank details, not just an email with it written down as that could be anyone’s details. We want to make sure it goes to the right person which we’ve detailed for you. I also refute the allegation that we have treated you with any form of disrespect - Aaron and my Management Team are the most genuine and kindest of people and would never treat anyone poorly. The incentive we offered you to help with your finance package was called a Finance Deposit Allowance which is an allowance towards your deposit for your finance case. We cannot offer you that should you not take our finance package for obvious reasons. We appreciate that in this day and age that our support is sometimes required which is why we offered it. I also refute that we chased you for the deposit as it was you who was desperate to purchase the car after you told us you’d just missed out on one. However, if someone tells us they want to buy a car, is it so wrong of us to make that happen for you? Imagine if we had shown no desire to sell you the car and it went to someone else, I doubt you would’ve been impressed with us in that situation! We also said it was absolutely fine for you to withdraw from the sale even though you said you had to because you bought a manual and your wife can’t drive them. That wasn’t an issue and we wished you all the best. We’re certainly not being difficult - we just ask that you provide proof of your bank details so we can make sure your money goes back to you. Kindest regards, Lee Jones (General Manager).

AVOID AVOID AVOID

I booked my car in to change the clutch with these guys, 4 weeks later I turned up for my appointment. They changed the clutch but not the flywheel and sorted the actuator in the gearbox. £4038 later and 5 months later and the clutch started to make noises. I had the car checked at another garage and and they showed me that Drayton Motors had missed one of the gearbox plugs. I went back to see DM to see what the issue was, and they charged me £100 to tell me that the flywheel needed changing!!!!! Why would anyone change a clutch and not a dualmass flywheel at the same time? Seems odd, but they charged me another £1400 just to do that and another £1600 for another clutch. IS IT ME OR DO THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BEING ABLE TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE AN ISSUE????
If I went to a back street garage, it would have been a lot cheaper and probably done correctly.
Not recommending these guys.

Hi Alex,

Firstly, I am sorry to read your disappointment in us, but I think it is fair to say that quite a few parts of the truth have been redacted in your statements. Initially, you did bring your vehicle in to us for inspection and the replacement of the clutch and actuator in December 2022 on 93,000 miles. At this point, there was no excessive play in your flywheel and therefore replacement wasn’t required. We pride ourselves on only replacing parts and charging customers for what is necessary, and we would’ve replaced a part unnecessarily if we had replaced and charged you for your flywheel too. However, upon your next visit to us in March 2023 on a further 10,000 miles at 103,000 miles, you reported a new noise coming from the area where the flywheel was and you didn’t wish to pay for us to investigate it. Upon you taking the vehicle to another garage and reporting your concern, we went to that garage and brought the vehicle back and found no fault whatsoever with what was reported. Now, in 2024 on 124,000 miles, you have had a new clutch and flywheel replaced by us having covered nearly 30,000 miles since you originally had a replacement clutch. I think it’s fair to say that, perhaps due to the high mileage you cover, (AND THAT YOU USE THE CAR AS A TAXI) this is why you have needed to have parts replaced. We do wish you all the very best and do hope to see you again in the future. Drayton Motors Kia.

VW Tiguan R-Line

My son bought a Grey Tiguan from the gentlemen of Drayton Motors and all I can say is WOW! The service was absolutely spot on. I felt welcome and the whole process was really transparent and Sam even took us to the nearest post office as we weren’t local to the area. All I can say is if you want to buy a car from somebody, you HAVE to buy it from these guys. Sam acknowledged that we came from far and even offered us food.

Thanks Team Drayton especially SAM

Kia Scunthorpe

We’ve had our new Kia Sportage a couple of weeks now and we love it! We just want to say a big thank you to all the staff at Kia in Scunthorpe who were most helpful to us especially Albert who kept us informed all the way through the process of selecting, ordering and waiting for our new car to arrive. On the day of collection he was very professional and cheerful with it. Brilliant service, great car.

Had an appointment with Danny, and from the moment we walked in the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Very professional service through from entering the doors through to the test drive and what cars would be best suited to our needs.

We will be looking to keep to visit every time we are in need of a change.

Drayton motors Kia Louth

I purchased a car from Autohub Louth, part of Drayton Motors. I have experienced an issue with the car and contacted Drayton motors as the Autohub dealership had shut down. They were very helpful and booked my car into Drayton motor Kia in Louth and they fixed the problem at their cost as the car was only a purchase a short time ago. Unfortunately this is where is goes sour. I collected my car and drove it home, I had looked briefly around the car before I left but didn't notice anything at the time. 3 days later I noticed that the front bumper had been damaged whilst they had been working on my car. The damage is very low on the bumper almost on the bottom curve. It's very difficult to see unless you look from a distance directly at the front of the car.
From a close walk round my car at the garage, I did not see it. The damage is difficult to notice at first glance and either they knew car was damaged and did not tell me hoping I wouldn't notice or someone had damaged it and seen it was hard to see and not said anything.
I have contacted Drayton motors Kia Louth and got the response no one has admitted to damaging the car and that as I had taken the car away and it has been a few days the damage was not done by them.
Unfortunately my short experience with Drayton motors has left me disappointed, distressed and unhappy, especially as I used a brand new Kia as a courtesy car for 2 weeks and gave it back with out a scratch. I would not recommend using Drayton motors.
