Company details
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

Krystal was friendly not too pushy and down to earth.
We didn’t feel too pressured and she showed us respect when my wife and I discussed with each other what options suited us. She was very patient and helpful. Cheers Krystal

Car had major part issue within a week
Car had major part issue within a week. Had to email in a week later it was looked at. It took over three weeks to get part. Main dealer had this in for warranty inspection and found that the part they were going to fit would not sort the issue and needed some major work and cost over £4K. I have tried to call and email to discuss this and no repsonse only thst they would only replace one part over three months. Has to sort myself as could no be without car. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE try returning peoples call and repsonding to emails. NEVER AGAIN will i buy from here.

Hello Lisa,
We’re very sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced with your vehicle and the delay in getting this issue resolved. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be without your car.
We’d really like the opportunity to review what happened and ensure your concerns are properly addressed. Please contact our team directly at aftersales@jw-autos.co.uk , so we can look into this further and provide a full update.
We appreciate your feedback — it helps us improve our communication and service for all customers.
Kind regards,

Right place, Right time.
Right place, right time. We went in search of a replacement car following the failure of a gearbox on our old car. Luckily, just what we needed was just becoming available.
The team at JWA were very polite, helpful and good communicators. They helped us explore options and we settled on a good package for peace of mind going forwards.
They expedited the delivery of the car and we are back on the road again. What more can you ask? Biscoffs with your hot chocolate? They already do that!

Seat Ateca (NK18VMM)
I brought a seat ateca (NK18VMM) in April, by June I was having engine problems and jw autos wasn't intrested with the problems my car was having, after paying garages to look at the vehicle I was told by a specialist that the car either needed an engine rebuild or a new engine. Luckily, I spoke to my fiance company, and they informed me that jw autos were liable to fix the car. After weeks of the seat just sitting there as I was unable to drive it, they decided they didn't want to pay for the car to be fixed so it was returned to them. Now 2 months later the car is back up for sale, might I add there is no discrption of the car having engine issues or having an engine rebuild or even a new one fitted, so I'm high in thinking this car still has engine issues and the car will be going back to them again after they have sold it. Although it does state the car has had 7 owners, and each owner only had it a few months at a time. My advice is to stear clear or jw autos. They look very professional, upper class company, but actually, they are scamming arseh*les!! And as for the manager who is so far up herself, it's unreal, talks to customers with no respect at all. Jw autos is an absolute joke of a company and I feel sorry for anyone that buys the Seat Ateca (NK18VMM) as you will have the same problems I had and you will get no help from the company.

Hi Rachel,
We are very sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction. We take all customers feedback seriously, but we must clarify some important points for accuracy.
The vehicle you purchased was fully inspected prior to sale, and that time there were no reported issues with the engine. When you raised concerns we engaged with you and worked within the terms of your finance agreement to resolve matters. Unfortunately , some of the claims made in your review are not consistent with the facts of the case.
We never mislead customers about the condition of our vehicles. All cars are sold with the appropriate checks and documentation, and we always aim to resolve issues fairly and transparently. We also strongly reject any suggestion that we do not respect our customers - our team works hard to provide a professional service.
We are happy to discuss this further directly with you to resolve any outstanding concerns. Please contact us on Aftersales@jw-autos.co.uk.
Thank you
