Just want to say thank you to Tom & James. My dad fancied an X5 and quite particular. Was about to commit to sytner BMW when their vehicle popped up on Google search. So on the phone to James and I felt comfortable and within 24 hours car is parked up outside dad's driveway.bare in mind I am a londonderry. Dad's happy and so am I. Car was not cheap but I was content that I parted my money to decent, transparent team. I may be back to pick up a van that caught my wondering 🤔 eyes.
Cheers guys!!
Cheers guys!!

Having being burnt in the passed with car's I've bought i was extremely anxious when purchasing a vehicle I'd not seen. I did my research and based on previous reviews, thought I would give George Kingsley… Prestige a try and they definitely did not disappoint. From start to finish I could not have asked for any better. I will most certainly not go anywhere else in the future and the car is nothing but amazing. Thank you Brian and James's for being an absolute pleasure to deal with, I'll most definitely be back!!

Fantastic customer service. Brian went out of his way to help me with the car I purchased. Especially grateful as I contacted him with my original enquiry at an out of hours time. It was a pleasant straight forward experience.

Huge thanks to James and the guys @ GK. First time I ever purchased a car blind and closed the deal before even physically viewing the car. Immensely happy with my purchase but what made it sweeter was the level of service recieved and the reassurance that these guys have been selling cars via this method for years. stock of cars are of a very high… grade. their prices are fair and competitive with anyone in the country. even though I'm extremely happy with my purchase I cant wait to pop down to these guys in the future for my next purchase. keep doing what you do best guys.

Fantastic service from start to finish and Brian was great at answering my many calls and questions.
Buying a car that you have never seen or test drove is a daunting thought but Brian spent time answering all… my questions and put my mind at ease.
The communication from Brian was first class even down to us arriving and knowing where to park and to make sure it was a Covid safe sale.
The car was exactly as described and I am over the moon with it. Thank you and I know where I will be returning when I’m looking to buy another car.
100% recommend this garage!

I purchased my Audi in December from George Kingsley and I can not fault their service. It was my first time purchasing a car without being able to test drive prior but Jeanette and James made the whole process as smooth as possible. Jeanette goes above and beyond from the customer service side of things and was always more than happy to answer any queries i had and resolved any issues quick and efficiently. I can not recommend them enough!

Absolutely first class service from start to finish. I have never bought a car out with Glasgow and I was nervous as this was the first time. Can’t thank Brian enough he was well mannered, professional and kept me up to date on the progress. Also a huge thank you to James and it was a pleasure meeting you face to face when you delivered the car (although you might have left me more fuel ha ha) only kidding. I would recommend George Kingsley to anyone looking for a new car. I just bought an Audi A6 Avant S-line and this was in mint condition and even thought it was driven up the road with James

So far so good. We are in strange times so I bought my car without driving it or physically seeing it. It was delivered as agreed by one of the owners, James. Super professional and friendly. The car is nearly 13 years old but looked as though it had just come out of the showroom. I had seen newer, less expensive cars on Auto Trader but none with the reviews of George Kingsley. I had a slight issue with the rear wiper motor and Brian immediately offered to send me the part as I was happy to replace it. I have only had the car a few days but so far so good. Thrilled with the car and the service

Bought my latest car from them. Excellent friendly and welcoming service. Completely relaxed experience, and were prepared to to negotiate. The two cars i went to look at were immaculate samples and this is having viewed many around the UK before finding these two at GK cars. Its five stars from me - keep up the great work guys!
