Written by the company

With a family history in motor vehicle sales across Kent, I grew up surrounded by cars and developed a passion for the industry from an early age. In 2020, I decided to build something of my own — and JW Autos was born. What began with just three cars quickly grew into a thriving business. Within five years, we expanded our stock to over two hundred vehicles and earned a strong reputation for personal service, expert knowledge, and high-quality used cars. Our commitment to excellence has been recognised nationally, winning Newcomer of the Year and UK Independent Dealer of the Year (General Sales – Under 150) at the 2023 MotorTrader Independent Dealer Industry Awards. We specialise in reliable, great-value everyday vehicles, sourced through trusted networks to offer a wide range of popular makes and models. Every car is personally selected and put through a rigorous 147-point inspection at our 22,000 sq. ft. preparation centre, where our team of master technicians, painters, and detailers ensure each vehicle meets our strict Quality Standard. Despite our growth, our values of integrity, transparency, and genuine care remain central to everything we do. Whether it’s your first car or your next one, JW Autos is dedicated to offering a straightforward, friendly, and trustworthy buying experience. Jack Waddell Founder, JW Autos

Rude, pushy and just genuinely awful

Staff was so unbelievably rude and pushy. We decided to walk away from a deal to think things over and the staff as we were walking out started shaking her head at us. When discussing details of the car, the staff member was forceful and undermining. Felt completely forced and overall just a rubbish experience. I really think whoever manages this particular member of staff needs to have some serious words with her as she delivered the very worst customer service ever I’ve ever experienced.

Excellent service from all the sales staff

All the staff who helped us to purchase a new car were really knowledgeable and helpful. Helping us to narrow down our search, taking cars out for a test drive, and eventually buying the one we wanted. On the day of collection, sorting out road tax and part exchanging our old car, the sales assistant was really quick and efficient!

Really good experience with Ash

We had a really good experience with Ash at JW Autos. He was very accommodating and did all he could to help us select the right vehicle. The manager could not allow any negotiation on the price of the car which was unfortunate however the overall customer service from Ash was great. Thanks again.

From the moment I walked through the door I felt welcome. All the staff were friendly and helpful. I explained what car I was interested in and never felt pressured into buying it. Thank you for making it a happy experience.

New car

I went along to look at a car I had seen online. I didn't know if I would be buying or not but the service I received made me feel in safe hands so I purchased the car, and from start to finish the experience went smoothly Sunny and Lilly were professional and easy to deal with. I would recommend this company.
