PROCEED WITH CAUTION IF BUYING FROM A DISTANCE! We feel like it's import to share our experience as distance buyers with Kia motors Drayton. We decided to purchase a Black Kia Sportage GT Line S as our first family car, we are expecting in August. The experience initially was great, Sean was very helpful, sent us a number of videos and reassured us that they sold to customers all over the country, and if we purchased the vehicle and weren’t satisfied, it could be returned for a full refund. As there are many good reviews for this business we felt like comfortable proceeding on this basis. We transfered £18,600 for the black Kia Sportage GT Line S, a 2019 model with low mileage. It was a 416 mile round trip to collect the vehicle, there was a viewing and a part exchange which was all fine and I set off driving the 208 mile journey home. 70 miles into the journey the car malfunctioned on a busy duel carriage way roundabout, when accelerating from the traffic lights. Upon pressing the accelerator the dual clutch Transmission (automatic gearbox) couldn't get into the correct mode to accelerate, meaning when pulling out from a junction the car had no power, this nearly caused a major crash and I managed to crawl into a lay-by. A terrifying experience as I am 6 months pregnant and had no reception to call my partner. After turning the engine on and off, it started as normal but the car had issues several times on the way home, trying to overtake a car in the slow lane the vehicle couldn’t accelerate above 60 mph. So given this traumatic experience we wanted to immediately return the vehicle, which is where everything became difficult. We were told we could be fully refunded but it was our responsibility to return the vehicle to there site (even though the vehicle was clearly unsafe to drive and the engine light on indicating something is wrong), the other option is take this vehicle to a local garage to get it diagnosed, so we enquired about this and there is a 4week wait for an appointment, but realistically after spending £18,600 pounds waiting a month without a vehicle to have this clear issue "diagnosed" just wasn't something we had the time or interest in doing. We now know this is a common issue with these vehicles just google "Gt Line DCT auto problemAs it's our responsibility to return this vehicle I have to drive a dangerous vehicle 208 miles as well as being charged £1 per mile driven, or incur the cost of getting it transported on the back of a low loader, which I opted for in the end, given the clear issue with the vehicle we felt Kia Drayton should have covered this cost, which they didn't. After sharing a picture of the engine light faults, they did waive the £1 per mile cost but refused to incur the cost of transporting the vehicle back to Louth. This whole experience left us out of pocket £600, multiple near crash incidents and just completely stressed out, not what you want when you’re 6 months pregnant. Clearly a lot of these issues come from us being distance buyers is why we cannot recommend Drayton motors to anyone purchasing from afar, things may have been simpler if we lived locally. A final word of warning to anyone buying a Kia, be cautious of this issue with the DCT gearbox, it's very dangerous and we have since noticed lots of low mileage vehicles with multiple owners, it wouldn’t surprise me if this was the reason why. We will be buying a new car locally this time and it certainly won't be a Kia.
Y D Drayton Motors Kia LouthResponse from RJTK Automotive 22 hours agoHi Miss Danily. I’m sorry that you have chosen to leave us such a disappointing review, but alongside your point of view on this situation I think it’s only right that we allow the general public to see our side of it. Upon purchasing the Sportage, we presented you with the opportunity to review the Distance Selling Regulations which outline both of our responsibilities when transacting from a distance. This clearly outlines what you need to do should you wish to return a vehicle which is actually no different to any other business. We were there for you from the moment you let us know you had suffered a problem and run through various options for you. As there was no warning light on the dashboard that would prompt to a running fault with the car, we suggested that you look to get the car diagnosed given that the issue you suffered didn’t present itself again once you had got the vehicle home. None of us could be sure of what the issue was without an expert diagnosing the problem. No-one could be certain of it being linked to the DCT gearbox and that’s just a theory that may not have foundation without diagnosis. We accepted your request to return the vehicle under the Distance Selling Right straight away and without objection. You signed this agreement prior to purchasing the car so you knew what the downsides were to dealing from a distance. We cannot treat anyone with any preference under FCA regulations and must treat all customers equally. Once you presented the engine management light being displayed too, we advised you that we would take the vehicle back under the Consumer Rights Act 2015’s short term right to reject. We advised this and we prompted this right for you to show that we are committed to helping people with concerns and issues. Not every sale we go through can be perfect, but we certainly put no barriers up and helped you all the way throughout. With regards to you having to cover the cost of returning the vehicle, this is also common throughout any retail experience. If you purchased a TV from on online retailer and opted to return it, they would insist you covered the cost too. It’s simply just something you have to do when purchasing from a distance. I’m sorry that this didn’t work out for you, but I certainly do not believe we have done anything wrong and we helped you quickly and efficiently all the way throughout. I wish you all the best with finding a vehicle more locally to you. Lee Jones (Head of Business).

Excellent service from start to finish. Jason kindly sourced the car I was wanting and then Troy took me through the process, even sending detailed personalised videos of the vehicle. Friendly and professional service that I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new car.

Dear Lee, I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional service that your company provided during the recent sale and collection of my new Kia Sportage, YT73KVY. I was impressed with the outstanding effort, patience, and attention to detail that went into the collection and handover process. Steven Chan, who assisted me, was an exemplary ambassador for your company. His willingness to go above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction was truly remarkable. His attitude was a refreshing change from the usual "get on with it" mentality that is all too common these days. My wife and I are extremely satisfied with the car and continue to be impressed with its features and capabilities. If we lived closer to your company, we would undoubtedly take advantage of the full range of services on offer with complete confidence. I will confirm with Steven when the V5 for my Mazda has been forwarded to you. You can also be assured I'll have no hesitation in highly recommending the company to colleagues dealt with in the surrounding area. Once more, thank you and Steven for a truly fulfilling experience that exceeded my expectations. Sincerely, P.S. Garrett

Collected our Kia ceed sportswagon last week. I couldn’t be happier. I would like to say a massive thank you to Lucas for literally going the extra mile to collect it from the Scunthorpe branch to bring it closer for us to test drive. We had three long weeks without a car and were using my brother to look around. Out of everywhere we visited we felt at ease asking any questions. Great information given with no pressure to buy. I was given the chance to test drive a similar model and Lucas went through any differences between that one and the one we had our eye on in Scunthorpe. Overall a great experience. Thanks again for all your help

Great service from Mark. Great knowledge and not pushy or pressured. Pleasant experience and a lovely car. Thank you. However the company used to do fit EV chargers need to work on their systems which is no way a reflection on the salesperson or the dealership.

Daniel and Jack made the experience of selecting, sorting out finance and collection of my car so so simple.

Had one really bad experience with Wilson'shad a few cars off these people and it takes only one bad experience to put you off..not bought a car since
William Dunn Wilson and Co Vauxhall BoltonResponse from RJTK Automotive 1 week agoDear William I hope you are well and i am disappointed that you have had a poor experience. Having not bought a car since would elude to the poor experience some time ago and it is unfortunate but any business can get things wrong on an odd occasion and it would seem from your review that you have had plenty of good experiences dealing with us. I am keen to return your faith in our business to 100% again and would welcome you to come in so i can sit with you and find that solution. I hope you have a wonderful day Regards Jonathan ????

An absolute awful company staff are unhelpful and rude and will happily sell you cars that are broken, then deny any knowledge of this, then take there time to refund you and this is only after I complained to the motor ombudsman. Avoid at all costs ! I would also like to add that I brought said car on finance and even though I returned this car 2 weeks they are yet to sort out this finance e.g cancelling with finance company or paying this off. Avoid at all costs !!

We picked up our new car yesterday. Its the 3rd car we've bought from here so they must be doing something right. As usual it was a great experience from start to finish, well maybe not handing over the money at the endThank you Cole for working out a great part exchange deal for us. If you want to buy a car from a dealership where you aren't pressured into buying a car, where they take time to sit down listen to what kind of car you are looking to buy and what price you are looking to pay we recommend Drayton motors. Good coffee as well
Frank Drayton Motors Kia BostonResponse from RJTK Automotive 1 week agoFrank, Thank you for taking the time to leave this stunning five star review, we really appreciate it, we'll ensure Cole receives your praise. Handing over the money is never nice but the shiny new car does make it a bit easier ???? We hope you have many miles of happy motoring and we look forward to seeing you again soon. All the best for now from all the team at Drayton Motors.

Would recommend Drayton motors, the service was excellent. We dealt with Richard who was great (even ringing me on his day off to make sure the car would be ready at the right time). He was very friendly and made us feel at ease. Thanks Richard!
