Throughout our visits to Kai
Throughout our visits to Kai, both my wife and I were very happy with Chris Broad. He’s professionalism was something to admire, and just he’s duty of care to us was fantastic. We just got our new Kai EV3, and it’s brilliant. Chris, keep up the good work and keep embarrassing. Kind regards, Rishi

Customer service / staff
Poor
Citygate confirmed in writing on 18 August 2026 that my vehicle order had been cancelled and that my full £500 deposit would be refunded.
I was then asked to provide my bank details, which I supplied on 25 August. I chased again on 7 September, but as of 16 September the refund has still not been received and I have not received a proper update.
I have now had to raise a formal complaint simply to recover a refund that Citygate had already agreed to pay.
I hope this is resolved quickly, and I will update this review if the refund is processed.
Staff are very helpful and friendly at Volkswagen Ruislip
Staff are very helpful and friendly in attending to your needs, communications is very good from start to finish. Made simple and understanding the customers requests. As I was recommended to this Volkswagen service centre they come highly recommended.
New car
"I was so worried — my old finance ending felt like such a financial block. But Ricardo at City Gate ( Brentford branch ) was wonderful, guided me perfectly. I never dreamed I’d be getting a new car! So grateful." 🙏🚗

Really good experience and thank you Mike Dixon.
I went to city gate to buy a new car as I have recently had a child and needed something with a bit more space. I had an appointment with Mike Dixon. He was unbelievably helpful and really thorough but also very efficient. I didn't have much time at the appointments and he was brilliant at getting everything done quickly whilst also making sure that I had all of the information I needed. He showed me a couple of options of cars and then when I had chosen the car I wanted he was really great at helping me go through all of the information about how it all worked, and was brilliant at showing me the digital brochure and exactly how to run the car and how it all works. He was really good at sending all the documentation across quickly and the entire process was done in just a couple of days which was amazing. I've only had the car for a couple of days but I already feel very confident and comfortable driving it as Mike gave me all of the guidance I needed. I am really pleased that I chose Citygate and that I met with Mike as it made the whole process of buying a car completely stress-free. Highly, highly recommend Mike.
