Just a fantastic experience from walking in to collecting my car
Nothing was too much. Very professional throughout the sale and collection
Will strongly recommend, thank you MG

We saw a Sportage car online, it was easy to reserve and test drive. Matt was very helpful, even sending a video tour of the car before we could go to see it.

Bought a used car from birchwood ford, Eastbourne, unfortunately due to rushed sale and poor maintenance we have had nothing but trouble.
Luckily took out 3 years extended warranty.
Probably since purchase spent over £2.5k within 5 months
Tried on several times to book vehicle in for engineers diagnosis but wait is ridiculous; up to 3/4 weeks.
After sales very poor and dismissive.

Probably the best experience we've had at buying a car. The site was lovely as was the set up, the staff are great, we had Sean as our contact , who was excellent, so efficient and upfront, honest and friendly.

Brilliant from start to finish. Highly recommend Paul!

Excellent service in terms of providing a friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and helpful sales team. They were focused on helping me find the right car for our family and meeting our individual needs in terms of the cars requirements. They answered all of our questions and made the whole process of buying a car from start to finish a very positive, stress free and enjoyable experience. I would thoroughly recommend this company.

This was my third car purchase from Kia Washington, and once again Steve Lansley made the experience brilliant. He managed to get me a brand new car within just two weeks and really worked his magic to make it happen. His service was absolutely brilliant—professional, efficient, and friendly throughout. Thanks again, Steve! I’m looking forward to many more Kias in the future.

The whole process was made simple and easy becuase of the Sales Rep Liam.

We bought a near new Xceed from Birchwood Washington. Matt Hemmingway was very helpful and friendly, and we are very pleased with the car and overall experience and would recommend.

Matt Hemmingway was so helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and he knows his cars inside out. Excellent service and would throughly recommend speaking to Matt to anyone looking for a new car.

Buying a used car from Kia at Washington was made very easy with the help of Matt. From the test drive to the sale then getting the car prepared asap for me, Matt explained the whole process and made sure I was kept up to date with everything, would recommend Matt to anyone, very happy with my sportage

Just picked up my third sportage but first from Birchwood. Matt was a pleasure to deal with super friendly and knowledgeable. Happy to buy for him again.

From the moment I stepped into the showroom at Washington Steve lansley sales executive lead me through the sales process professionally explaining all the actions I needed to do once I had decided on the car of my choice.
He arranged for work to the car I required and it was delivered on time which was important as I needed it to go on holiday.
Even though paper work is via computer he arranged for me to sign at kia Washington which was a great relief not being conversant with computers.
In all a very satisfied experience.

While the sales team were very pleasant and helpful, understandable they were selling me a car. The service department were rude, unhelpful and never returned my calls
Would I deal with them again, not if they were the last motor dealership in the world.

This is a great KIA dealership. They get warranty work done without any fuss. They lent us an EV6 while our EV had a new part fitted. Big thanks to Dean & Rebecca for providing the correct coolant. Great place to get an EV with fantastic support. Around 800 family miles driven a month for only £14 of nighttime electric!

Very pleased with my purchase at the washington branch of kia, Matt was very accommodating, polite, friendly lastly smart and overall highly professional. Even after having a slightly negative welcome from another sales chap. Matt took on the sale and nothing was too much hassel for him to look into or sort out he made me forget about the negative start. Exceedingly happy with the vehicle and will be returning in the future. I would recommend the washington kia garage highly to all.

AVOID Birchwood Skoda, Eastbourne: Utterly appalling service & disrespect

My experience at Birchwood Skoda in Eastbourne was frankly insulting and a complete waste of my time and money. If you value either, go elsewhere.

I brought my car in for an ABS light issue, using a 20% off voucher. Despite being upsold a service I didn't need the day before, I agreed, hoping the voucher would soften the blow.

I arrived before 9am as instructed, having travelled from out of town with a car that wasn't in good health. After an unpleasant 2+ hour wait in a nearby cafe - no call from the garage as promised - I walked back to find my car untouched and no one interested in looking at it.

When I dared to ask if anyone had even started the promised diagnostic check (which, by the way, costs £139 + VAT), the middle-aged male staff member with dark hair was utterly dismissive. Instead of an apology for the 2 hour delay and broken promise, he lectured me that "it says the wait is anytime from 10 til 4pm" and there were "other people waiting too." Why tell me to be there before 9 am then? Why promise a call after an hour? It's bafflingly inconsiderate.

This isn't an isolated incident. My previous dealings with another specific staff member at this branch (woman, middle aged) was consistently rude, unhelpful, and completely lacking in basic customer service. They give zero shits, and it shows. The entire place radiates bad vibes.

I cancelled the service, thoroughly disgusted by the disrespect and blatant disregard for a customer's time, especially one who travelled with a compromised vehicle. What's worse, since leaving, I've noticed new issues - my interior light flickers, and the boot won't lock. This whole ordeal was dangerous, wasteful, and deeply unprofessional.

Birchwood Skoda, your staff are a disgrace and are actively driving customers away. Avoid this garage at all costs.

The salesman Dominic was brilliant, gave me plenty of time and space to inspect the car before purchase and allowed me a test drive, got a great deal which included a great warranty, the best Ford Dealership i have dealt with !

Have had 4new Kia’s from this garage with very good customer service.However y husband bought a new Kia in March 2024 on finance.He sadly passed away in October 2024, and I immediately took on the repayments.However Kia finance wouldn’t allow this and said I had to re finance at double the repayments or trade the car in which I wasn’t prepared to do.Even. Though Eastbourne Kia had initiated the finance they didn’t help me in any way.After months of being harassed by Kia at avery sad time, I paid the remaining sum off, but felt it was very unjust as I had continued the repayments every month.Kia Eastbourne need to point this out to any buyer using finance as it was never explained to us despite Kia at Eastbourne knowing my husband was seriously ill.Very upsetting and disappointing as we had always had a good relationship with this garage

Just tried to park at their Kia Eastbourne branch. After driving around the large car park not one space available. Full of new cars, used cars, cars waiting to be serviced and staff cars. It isn’t rocket science - inadequate customer parking results in unhappy customer experience. A designated parking area for the sales department’s customers clearly signposted should be available. I couldn’t find a space on the industrial estate either as every space was taken. Hopeless location. No new Kia for me!
