VW ID.3

Fantastic and professional service from start to finish. Mark was exemplary. Bought a car, traded in a car and changed private plates on both with ease. Paperwork handled to the highest degree. Our first experience with Braidwood motors and we highly recommend the company. We have been buying cars for 35 years and have just experienced a unique gentleman.

Good evening M

The time you've taken to compose such a complimentary review is very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

I'm sure you'll enjoy your new car, and hopefully you'll come back to see us when you're ready for a change.

Take care.

Excellent & friendly

Car was exactly as described, Mark was friendly from the start and, very important to me, was never pushy ortried to force the sale. He gave me time to look over the car and waited until I was finished before asking my thoughts. Change over day was super simple and easy with Mark doing all of the work, transferring ownership of my purchase and my trade in. All was confirmed by email in minutes.
This is the true benefit of using an independant dealer - friendly personal service with zero pressure to buy extra insurances or ceramic paint protection gubbins.
Keep using family run independant companies, otherwise we will lose them to the giant corporates and we will all be poorer for that.

Incredibly kind of you to give myself, and the company, an exceptional review.
These go a long way to giving confidence to future prospective customers who are considering the purchase of their next new car.
I am sure the new family vehicle will give you many years of pleasure and comfort.

Bought from these having not seen the car or heard of them so was very nervous and cautious especially given some of the reviews I’d read and was parting with nearly £50k
They collected me promptly from the airport and took me to the dealership which, on first impressions looks a bit ropey tbh. However cars great, service was good. Upon the long drive home the ‘air freshener’ wore off and the overpowering stench of a smokers car took over. I ended up getting it fully valeted internally and also bought a Halfords odour smoke bomb which has helped. They were good enough to go halves on the detailers £100 invoice which was good. Detailer did also point out to me the amount of mud under the wheel arches so hadn’t been fully cleaned, and also it’s had a small bonnet re spray ( hopefully just for stone chips) and some overspray on headlights which was surprising given the car is just 18 months old and only 5k
Overall I’m happy and the car spec is what I wanted.
Maybe a little more attention to detail is needed but nobody’s perfect.

Good evening Grahame

I really appreciate you taking time out to post a review, and although disappointing that we didn't achieve the maximum rating, it is very understandable given the circumstances.

It is good to have the negatives pointed out, allowing us to make the necessary improvements in future.
Unfortunately, the issues that you have highlighted are rudimentary mistakes, and as a consequence should not have been missed.
Without doubt, more care will be taken to ensure each car is given a thorough check over prior to being displayed.

You have very kindly taken a pragmatic view of the situation, and I hope it won't spoil the enjoyment of the car.

All things being equal, we would be grateful for the opportunity to be given a second chance sometime in the future.

Take care

Neil, Mark and the Braidwood staff.

Just purchased a vehicle from Braidwood motors and all I can say is that the service was excellent from start to finish. I was picked up from the airport in a luxurious vehicle then presented with my lovely new Z4 bmw. Mark helped me through the whole process and made it simple and easy transaction. Would definitely recommend this company.

Purchase and trade in.

Recently bought a car from Mark at Braidwood.

We found the car in an online search, the advert was exactly what the car looked like in person...immaculate.

The experience buying was smooth with no issues.
There were no pushy sales like you receive with bigger named dealers. We also received a 6 month guarentee for piece of mind.

The trade in was again easy and a for price agreed for my vehicle.

I would recommend to others.

Amazing service & great car condition

Just purchased an A3 from Mark and it was the best experience of buying a car I’ve ever had. Car came fully serviced and MOT and Mark was so helpful throughout the full process. The car is in amazing condition would 100% recommend friends and family to buy from braidwood.

Jaguar E Pace…

We had been looking for a Jaguar E Pace for quite a while and saw one advertised at Braidwood Motor Company, we phoned up and spoke to Mark about the car and he told us about it , we arranged to travel down on the Saturday to view the car and it was exactly as he described it, within a couple of hours Mark had everything in hand and the car was ready to be driven home , we had a slight issue with a dash board warning light coming on and again Mark told us to book it in at our local Jaguar dealer and Braidwood would pick up the bill , all in all I would have no problem buying another car from them as it’s good to know that you can trust them .

Got my car today (a day earlier than expected) and couldn’t be happier. The whole process was smooth and easy, with great communication the entire time. I was even helped out to find a cheaper finace rate on my car which was appreciated. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a top of the range cars and excellent services throughout.

Fantastic service

I purchased a car from Braidwood in December. Sadly, as cars sometimes do, it developed two faults which Braidwood Motors could not have known about at time of purchase and was after the sale.
Great service is often more important when things go wrong rather than when things go right.
Braidwood Motors fixed all issues quickly, on time and always as promised.
Much better service than bigger dealerships with a personal touch.
I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Good afternoon Jason

Given the excellent relationship after the good service provided, we're very disappointed to have received such a poor review over an issue that, in fact, is the duty of the owner.

Advising potential customers to AVOID! [sic] our dealership, thus putting 14 livelihoods in jeopardy over a minor financial penalty, is rather excessive and, in our opinion, undeserved.

It clearly states in section 4 of the V5 that you, the owner, must inform the DVLA of any sale or transfer to the motor trade.

We agree that you informed us of the situation in December, and for that reason we must accept some culpability.
However, at that time you were still in a position to carry out the task online, using the details on the photograph that you sent to us.
You'll recall that this is the means by which we received the details of the V5 after a few prompts.

Therefore, we feel, and I'm sure you'll agree, it's a bit disingenuous of you to lay all of the blame at our door.

We believe you have been issued with a minor penalty, and as a gesture of goodwill, if you forward it to ourselves we'll make sure that it's taken care of.

Once this has been settled, perhaps you'll see
your way to deleting an incredibly unfair review.

Great experience with Mark

Great experience with Mark. I didn’t want to travel to see the car, and Mark was happy to send lots of videos, inside and out. He also arranged the car to be transported to me once we did a deal. The car was spot on, as described. It all couldn’t have been easier.
Excellent service all round.

I’m a repeat customer following a successful purchase first time round and my recent experience matched my first. I love my new bmw 1 series, and dealing with Neil and mark directly was a pleasure as they were extremely helpful and made the process easy. As I am young, I haven’t had a lot of experience in buying a car and both times this company made me feel comfortable and confident in my purchase. I have never had any issues with both cars, and have been extremely grateful to have received the customer service they provided.
