Customer Reviews

I'd been looking for a specific car for a little while, and once I increased my search area, found JKSC had a choice of 2 available. I usually don't enjoy the experience of buying a car, but can honestly say that was not the case with JKSC as I wasn't dealing with the stereotypical used car salesman. Andy was great to deal with, not at all pushy and very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the process. Although I was a bit dubious about not being able to test drive the car until I collected it, this was not an issue in reality. It's understandable why they do it as they're a small company so don't need the expense and hassle of re-valeting a car each time it's been driven. For them, it also ensures the customer is serious about the vehicle. In summary, I would highly recommend JKSC to others, in fact I have already recommended them to some friends.

Having scoured the internet for months to find my 'grail' car I stumbled across an example with Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars that met my brief.
Having driven from Somerset purely for an inspection visit, the car was truly as described - credit to the former owner(s) and to the meticulous detailing at Jon Kirkham Cars (as a detailer I can attest to this).
On arrival, Andy was both courteous and knowledgeable about the car which immediately assured me this was a dealership where quality and care really mattered.
Deposit paid, I picked the car up a week later - during which the collection process was every bit as special as cars I've purchased new elsewhere.
A truly memorable purchase for all of the right reasons :-)

Absolutely splendid company to deal with, from the initial conversation about the car to the purchase. They are professional polite, conscientious, and, a very rare asset these days, honest.

Very professional and helpful, Pleasure doing business with the company

Sold my Hyundai i20N back to JKSC, they gave me a price that was unbeatable, great guys to deal with.

Found JKSC through a post on a Facebook page. Having been the first car I’ve sold like this, I couldn’t have had a better experience. Staff are very nice and communication was impeccable. From offer acceptance on the Friday. I had collection confirmation the following Monday and the car was collected on the Wednesday. You are treated as a valued client rather than figures on a profit sheet. Cannot recommend JKSC enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Professional, friendly, exceptional- Nothing but exceptional, Andy whom i had the pleasure of dealing with was 100% professional, nothing too much and will assist you every step of the way, his work ethic is sublime, ever after a sale, they say if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is, but this company/Andy make an exception to this rule, if I could give 10 stars I would, this is the fourth car I have bought over the years, and nobody comes close to the professionalism from start to finish. I applaud you 👏

JKSC has been exceptional throughout the whole process. From first enquiry, up until driving away with my dream car was only a 2 week turn around. All inspections carried out thoroughly to the highest of standards and felt like I received a brand new car on collection day! The showroom is very impressive and their quality of work is outstanding, would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for the best service and quality when buying a new car. Special thanks to Andy who has been amazing throughout the whole process even after the sale has completed, quick to respond to any queries and very knowledgeable about the car industry. Thanks again!

A great experience from start to finish. Having viewed several M2 Competitions I was getting ready to lower my expectations I viewed this car at Jon Kirkham's and immediately knew I was buying it. The condition of it was worlds apart from anything else I had seen and the owners are true petrol heads with a passion for everything they buy. The after sales service is worth noting as well as this is where many dealers fall apart. Had a small issue with my engine on cold start, upon messaging Andy over Christmas he arranged for the car to be looked at immediately in the new year and the problem was fixed by a specialist, car re valeted and handed back to me. If you're looking for a car and these guys have one in stock, you can stop looking

From the first contact with Andy on whatsapp to the day I collected my I30n the entire experience was brilliant.

There is absolutely no pressure to buy whatsoever, and you are really made to feel welcome with a cup of tea on arrival.

Do not let the test drive process put you off, this is a good thing, they only want serious buyers to test drive the cars as they are all immaculately presented, you test drive the car as part of the collection, if you aren't happy, you get your deposit back and wall away it's that simple, however my car was spot on and couldn't be happier with it.

I went to see the car on the Tuesday and went back up on the Thursday to collect, the car was beyond my expectations with items changed on the car that other dealerships wouldn't have done E.G the battery was starting the car a bit slow, so instead of putting it on a charger, they fitted a brand new Varta battery before I collected.

Andy is honest, knows his cars and will answer any questions you have. But at no point do you feel pushed to buy, absolutely zero.

The little touches are the difference here, the nice quality branded keyrings you get on each key, and the fact you get to keep the pen you sign your documents with, it all adds to the experience.

I am around 100 miles and 2 hours away near Cardiff, but I will 100% be checking their stock next time I am looking for a new car.

Literally the best car buying experience I have ever had A**

Thanks again to all at John Kirkham.

Really impressive set-up, quality cars and 5 star customer service. Many thanks, Andy, for everything.

First rate dealing with Jon and Andy at Kirkham..... can recommend highly and will be back to buy some more toys ......

An excellent experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend JKSC to anyone. Andy the sales director is a consummate professional and made the whole process from initial appointment through to vehicle sale and collection really easy, with great communication throughout. It is clear to see why JKSC are so highly rated. First class customer service in every way.

I received a first class service from Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars when purchasing a used VW Up GTI. Andy was a pleasure to deal with, no sales pitch no pressure to buy and gave advice and support when needed. I would highly recommend Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars when looking at your next car

Purchased a i30n from here, Andy was very helpful and easy to deal with, perfect service, will definitely be back

I dealt with Andy in the sale of my wifes car, he made the process seamless and very professional throughout, such a refreshing change from the experiences I have had with buying and selling cars in the past!
Kind regards Tim.

This was the first time I have met a dealer that genuinely went above and beyond what was required to make getting my new car a little easier. Thank you Andy.

Andy and his team always go over and above, the hand picked selection of cars offered are always the best on the market!!

After seeing a car advertised i was interested in looking at I was a bit dubious about enquiring due to the dealership not being a normal showroom that I am used to but based within a garage on a business park however I made contact and Andy was very prompt in replying to all my queries so I arranged to view the car, on the day Andy was very friendly and quick to get the kettle on for a brew, he handed us the keys to have a good look around the car & start the engine up, I loved the car it was absolutely immaculate and there was no pressure to make the purchase whats so ever, Andy was very laid back but very knowledgeable about cars, I went home to make a decision to buy or not to buy, I made contact with Andy as I decided to go for it, arranged to have the car delivered the following Saturday morning, I was kept up to date with all the info I needed during the week and although busy Andy made sure everything was in place and delivery went a head even making sure I got the car earlier than expected that morning so I could sort out my car insurance before they closed at 12pm, the delivery driver was very friendly & respectful whilst unloading the vehicle taking great care with it, I must say it was gleaming inside and out, I couldn't wait to take it for a drive, I love it and everything so far with the car is great 🤞I would highly recommend Jon Kirkham Cars for your next purchase 🙂

Attention to detail excellent the car was beautifully presented with full service history and i requested ppf to front of car for paint protection at a very realistic price Andy makes buying a car a real pleasure

I purchased a GR Yaris from JKSC , was still in factory wrapping , with delivery miles on the clock . Fantastic car and fantastic people to deal with . They opened out of hours for me to view the car and had it delivered to me in covered transport as part of the deal , as I didn’t want to put more mileage on the car . They even added in a car cover and repaid fuel costs . No pressure sales and plenty of tea . Very good attention to detail when preparing the cars .

If you want top cars i suggest you go to Jon Kirkham, Superb service from start to finish

Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars is a very good company to sell your car with, my experience with Andy was professional and a good guy to sell your car to. I was sorry to see my Golf GTI Clubsport go up for sale, the preparation Andy did on the car was fantastic and it was shinning like a new pin, so I would recommend this company if you have a good performance car to sell. Give Andy a ring if you are in the market for selling your car. Thank you for all your help. Jay

Hassle free trade in and sale from Andy. Car was as described. Won't hesitate to buy from these guys again.

can highly recommend Jon Kirkham Spec Cars, have dealt with them on 3 separate cars, Andy goes out of his way to make seamless, cars are prepared to very high standard,and in my view very fairly priced !

Bought a GR86 from JKSC and could not be happier. Andy Barnard was my sales rep and he provided a great deal on my part exchange and never made me feel pressured into the purchase of the car. It was a smooth process from start to finish and with the utmost professionalism. I couldn't recommend JKSC highly enough!

Had no hesitation in returning to JKSC when it was time to replace the i30N I purchased from them previously. They had just what I wanted in a 12 month old immaculate facelift i30N. As usual Andy was an absolute pleasure to deal with, making the whole process a pain free experience. As always the condition of the car was second to none. I’ve never dealt with a dealership which prepares cars to the level they do, thanks Mike. I would recommend them to anyone. See you in about 3 years.

Came to Jon Kirkhams over the weekend to look at a ford fiesta St edition. Andy made the process so seamless throughout. Low ownership and low miles we could tell the cars are well looked after. They spend a whole day taking the car apart and valeting the vehicles to make them look brand new. Would highly recommend, the cars look better in person than in the photos!

It was as clean as you could imagine! Just really straightforward, no funny business and when I picked up a car it was nice and clean at the front of the gate and going through the paperwork that was already set up on the table. It was nice and smooth and easy. Literally cannot think about anything to complain about or improve on the car was fantastic by the way.

Andy Barnard and his colleagues working with of on behalf of Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars are a professional and personable team!
My dealings with them whilst selling my car was nothing but positive and I’d highly recommend dealing with them if you’re selling your car. I personally hit a fair price and 1st class service!

Absolutely first class service and after service. Got me from base to where I needed to be after i sold them my car and after over a week of searching for my daughters phone it was in the car again gone the extra mile to post it back to us.
Thanks and hope to do a deal in the future.

I found Jon Kirkham by chance looking for an i20n not long after they were discontinued. Couldn't believe it when I found the exact spec I was wanting with only 474 miles on the clock! Contacted straight away for some information and they were incredibly helpful. Reserves the car, sold my old one earlier than I expected so asked if by chance I could pop down the day before I'd scheduled instead and they managed to move things around to accommodate which was amazing. A few months down the line owning the car and I couldn't be happier. Immaculate inside and out. Would highly recommend JKSC

Quickest yet such a smooth process of getting the car I’ve wanted for a long while. I was kept up to date with every step of the way 10/10

Although I work for BMW I was tempted by a lovely Alpine A110 at Jon Kirkham SC. I had to trust in them to honestly describe the car as I am not local. I can safely say that the experience was outstanding, the car was immaculate (as described) and everything went very smoothly. I was collected from the station by Andy and he had me away in the car in no time. Perfect service start to finish.

Professional advice and assistance were given by both Jon and Andy in the recent purchase of a car from Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars, really appreciated.

Sold my car to Jon Kirkham and everything went smoothly, would definitely recommend and would use again 👍🏼

I recently purchased a GR86 from this dealership and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Andy, our sales rep, was fantastic. He meticulously prepared all the paperwork and took the time to explain everything in detail, patiently answering all our questions.
The car was serviced the same day, which was incredibly convenient. Andy truly understands and caters to sports car enthusiasts.

my 2nd purchase from JKSC and I've been very impressed with their professionalism in dealing with the transaction and the preparation and presentation of the car itself. would highly recommend them and i would definitely buy from them again, its worth the round trip from Kent.

Right from the off, my experience of JKSC was proffessional, polite and I felt a real one to one connection with Andy when being shown around their showroom. There was no pressure, I was left alone to my devices to weigh up the "pros and cons" of my next investment, which worked well as the car is now my pride and joy!

Helped me find the car I wanted and supported me getting the best deal

I purchased a I20n from Jon Kirkham on the internet without actually viewing it. When I picked it up it was as described mint and unmarked condition. If they have the car you have been looking for and can't get to see it it will be as they say mint. I also got the best part exchange price for my car.

I bought a Puma ST from Jon Kirkham last December. Drove 8+ hours down from Aberdeen after seeing the car online. Andy made the transaction really easy, all my questions were answered quickly and he arranged for the wheels to be refurbished gloss black. The car was immaculate and everything was really well explained. I had as much time as I wanted to look around the car before driving it back up to Aberdeen. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a brilliant buying experience.

Very friendly and professional service, never felt under pressure to buy.

I bought my most recent car from Andy from Jon Kirkham Cars and the whole experience was brilliant start to finish. He was incredibly professional and provided all the info that I requested in a timely manner. Will definitely look to purchase here again.

I have had 2 dealings with JKSC and both instances were smooth and effortless. My first was P/X my Jaguar F Type for a Focus ST in where my P/X was worth more than the purchased car. The remaining money was transferred upon collection with no issues at all. The prep work of the supplied car was far higher than any of the cars I have purchased before.The second was selling the focus back to JKSC where they offered a fair & competitive price and the money transferred as soon as the car was brought in (collection from my address was offered). Additionally, Andy offered advice and checked over the car I purchased (not from JKSC due to wanting a particular car) and couldn’t have been more helpful. I chose JKSC are their stock is clearly carefully chosen so only the best examples are listed. Trading in, purchasing & selling a car through JKSC could not have been easier and would happily deal again.

Quality and presentation of cars is exceptional. Knowledge of the cars and customer service are second to none. Highly recommend.

it was a very easy and smooth process very friendly and polite people i was under no pressure to buy my car andy told me to go away and think about it overall i would recommend this company to anyone looking to buy a car.

Absolutely excellent dealership with a variety of carefully selected specialist good quality cars. Outstanding customer service throughout.

Very friendly, great selection of cars, very knowledgeable

Excellent from start to finish, car was immaculate and everything explained fully. I would and have recommend them to anyone looking for a high spec, rare or unusual car

Andy was so helpful went through everything perfectly and made the whole experience fantastic We will definitely be returning when it’s time for a new car

I have just had the pleasure of dealing with Jon Kirkham which has resulted in the purchase of a mint VRS
From the start of dealing with Andy the whole purchase was seamless ,and the car purchased was WOW.
Been a few years since i have seen cars in the condition at JK
From start to finish a car buying experience that was 100% superb, such a change from the norm at large dealerships.
Thank you again JK car buying and selling as it should be
Regards
BJW

11/10 had my i30N a good few months now and I’m still loving it, the process was really easy and straight forward and Andy was spot on through out, I would definitely buy again!

If you're looking for a specialist car...then I recommend Jon Kirkham.....Andy was so informative about the car I was buying...very professional...answered every question I had...genuine love of cars...it shows..

Great service, great people, great communication, great cars. I would highly recommend Jon Kirkham. Honest people told me straight up of any issue up front.

Excellent service and well thought out to detail, when purchasing a car from John Kirkham Specialist motors. Everything was explained clearly and Andy whom I delt with was very patient and understanding.

Professional & knowledgeable car dealership. Highly recommended.
I would certainly recommend Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars. From my first contact with the company, they offered a fair & realistic trade-in valuation for my previous car (unlike some other dealerships that I had contacted). Throughout the process of buying my new car, I was guided by J.K.S.C. with regard to retaining my private plate, re-taxing the new car & reclaiming car tax on my previous car. It was a smooth & "hassle-free" purchase which was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

This is my 5th car from JKSC and everytime the level of service is nothing but perfect from the initial contact all the way to hand over day.
You can honestly buy a car knowing it is going to be exactly what you want and probably even better when you see it in the flesh. I wouldn’t hesitate In sending friends or family to JKSC. Thanks again Andy & Jon

I recently purchased a Ranger from Jon and Andy, they were fantastic from start to finish. Jon showed me round and answered all the questions which I was asking and more!! With Jon and Andy’s extensive knowledge nothing was missed out! On pickup day Andy went through every single detail and was very professional throughout the whole process.
I would definitely return if I’m in the market for a specialist car!!
A massive thank you to Jon, Andy and Mike you were superb!!

travelled over four hours from Durham City to collect a Yaris GR, the car was above & beyond what i'd expected, outstanding condition. the service and welcome i recieved from Andy was exemplary, ispiring confidence , full of knowledge and just a top man to deal with. i also met John , the owner, a lovely fellow, an overall great experience, highly recommended, thank you.
Richard

Would highly recommend excellent very friendly and helpful carnt fault them my car was like a brand new car very professional

Fantstic service.From the moment I met Andy he made sure that every detail was perfect .Pleasure to deal with & I can only say it's the best car sales company I have ever delt with.
Wonderful.Thanks Andy top class.

I called Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars as I was looking to sell my GR Yaris. As it happened they had an up! GTI in stock that was fully specced that I was interested in. Managed to do a deal with Jon and Andy on trading my car in and purchasing the up! GTI. That very weekend I made the trip over to hand my car over and collect my new car. It couldn't have been a more hasstle free experience. Andy answered all of my questions on the trade in and outstanding finance and made the whole process worry free. I will definitely use Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars again.

Car was pristine upon collection. Next level customer service. Never seen so much attention to detail in regards to paperwork and organisation. 10/10.

Travelled down from Aberdeen to buy a car from Andy.

Whole experience was spot on from start to finish. Andy answered all my questions quickly, organised to have the wheels recoloured and the car was absolutely immaculate.

Finance easy to arrange, all the paperwork very clear and explained to me on the day.

Great trade in price, and I had no worries driving 8 hours down to pick the new car up. Although it was 2 years old it looked at felt like new.

Would highly recommend.

I bought a beautiful F Type which was presented as described! The service was impeccable from start to finish. Andy was super knowledgeable and patient and for sure I would use them in the future

Thanks to Jon & Andy and the team for their professionalism during my car purchase. The quality of the cars in stock is impeccable, which leaves you feeling you have bought the best you can. Very, very impressed. Would recommend them to anyone I know and hope to use their business again in the future.

Friendly, informative staff, not pushy, no time constraints. Good communication throughout the process. Advert details accurate.

Really happy with the service provided, happy to help and very easy to deal with! Will definitely be back

Fantastic selection of cars. The team ensure all the cars they take in stock have been well cared for by any previous owners, so you can be sure you're getting quality. They are very meticulous in the details of the cars. I was very well accommodated for in my short notice viewing appointment. The team were never pushy, and were very open and honest about the history of the cars. Within the week I was driving away in a new car. All the paperwork was ready for me and well organised, and the buying process was painless. The car was thoroughly prepared for collection. I highly recommend John Kirkham!

Sold my i20N to these guys and they were patient and professional as I had to wait for my new car to get the green light. Andy gave me a great price compared to a main dealer. Settled my finance and transferred the equity to me within minutes.
They’ve also got an amazing array of beautiful vehicles and I would definitely use them again to sell to or even buy from! Would definitely recommend!

Superb service from Andy at Jon Kirkham. I enquired about the car which they had recently listed first thing on a Friday morning. A part exchange value for my car was sent over within the hour, and the process of getting pre-approved finance was explained. Communication throughout the day was good, and I was able to collect the car the very next day. Andy’s passion for cars was evident throughout the entire process and his knowledge second to none. This is the first time i’ve bought a car not from a dealership, and i was pleasantly surprised!

I have dealt with JK previously and was exchanging an earlier purchase for a newer model. Andy was a pleasure to deal with. The exchange price was very fair and the new vehicle was absolutely immaculate when I collected it. The entire process was highly professional and customer friendly.

I cannot praise Jon Kirkham Cars enough, especially the help, patience and support from Andy. They are completely trustworthy, they only buy the best possible cars and offer a thorough service before and after purchase.

They just have good quality cars …. Yes at the upper end of the market of the car they have but when they bring a paint depth gauge to check before the buy the car and prep them to a very high standard , it’s worth it

Would recommend Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars was impressed by salesman Andy after viewing the car he asked us to go away and have a think about it before he would take a deposit off us. The whole process was easy from viewing to collecting our motor which we were really pleased with.

I have no hesitation in leaving JKSC a 5-star review. Never having bought a car from anyone other than a main dealer before, I was hesitant to try an independent, but I shouldn’t have worried. JKSC clearly have a passion for selling excellent quality cars. I was impressed by John’s knowledge of both the car I was buying, the other cars for sale and the car market in general. The car was beautifully prepared for collection day and the handover itself was effortless. To cap it all they gave me a good price for my existing car too. I would happily buy another car from them.

Probably the best specialist car dealer in the UK. The car I bought was presented in an almost 'better than new' condition! Attention to detail was incredible. Would I buy again? ADSOLUTELY! Absolute car enthusiasts selling only the finest specialist cars.

Great experience buying a car,better than bmw and others I’ve experienced.
When we arrived on collection day the shutter was slowly lifted and then unveiled from its cover to present to me my immaculately presented car which for me is a massive part of the experience 🤩
Whilst Andy put the kettle on he left me and my wife to go over our new car and get familiar with it.

Andy’s knowledge of any of their cars is mind blowing any questions I asked they were answered unlike most main dealers who don’t seem to know much about their product they are selling.
Car I was buying was just as described and more. Went over the paperwork in fine detail covering everything I needed to know

Andy then sat in the car with me explaining all of the settings the car has to other and there are a lot🤯🤯

Highly recommended Jon Kirkham specialist and would definitely buy from them again.

Having just uses Jon Kirkham’s for the second time, this time to sell my Audi RSQ3 I can honestly say they are the go to dealer for all your car needs. The deal I got was way above what the original dealership would offer me and on top of that Jon and Andy are great people to deal with, straightforward and super professional. I was kept formed what was going on throughout my dealings with them. Thanks again guys, when I need to either purchase or sell a car again you will be my first port of call. Thanks

Listen! If you want the very best of the best go buy from Jkscars!👍They only sell the very best performance cars and if you do your research you will know..Speak to Andy there's not much he don't know about performance cars believe me..100%recommend you buy from them yes they may be little bit more pricey than others but honestly it's worth it

Top Quality Service. All Made Very Easy & Straight Forward By Andy & Jon, The Focus ST Edition Was Immaculately Presented Up-One Viewing & Collection This Is The Second Vehicle I’ve Now Purchased From Jon Kirkham Specialist Cars, Highly Recommended

The passion and enthusiasm shown by Andy is truly second to none. He made purchasing our cars a fantastic experience. Having bought many cars over the years from main dealers and specialists, this experience was one of the best.
The cars on offer are to an exceptional standard and Andy ensures everything is 100% before they are released.
We’d highly recommend JKSC if you are looking for a great all round experience.

Both Andy and Jon prepared and presented my beautiful car to A1 standards even going so far as delivering it in an enclosed trailer. Can't rate them highly enough.......always ready to help on the end of the phone too. First class.

Great business to deal with. Offered a very fair price to purchase my car via email. Didn’t try to knock the price down on inspection like a lot of other dealers will. Andy is very knowledgeable and courteous. Highly recommend this dealer.

Absolutely amazing service from Andy and Jon. They are fanatical about ensuring the cars are the best available and the preparation and attention to detail is second to none. I've never had this level of care and service from any other car dealer and will be back again when it's time to change.

Gold Star Service. Buying a specialist car in the Midlands when you live, as I do, in Edinburgh was always going to be complicated, but Jon and Andy handled the whole deal with great patience, professionalism and good humour. Strongly recommended. AAA+++

First time buying from Jon Kirkham and we wasn’t disappointed. We bought a stunning Suzuki Jimny and was professionally dealt with by Andy who helped us with everything.

I couldn’t thank Andy enough for opening on a Sunday morning for us to collect the car as we couldn’t make it in the week.
I would highly recommend Andy and Jon Kirkham Specialists Cars for service.
One happy daughter with her new car.
