I bought a V50 from John, just prior to the lockdown. It was immaculate, lockdown started and the car didn\'t move for a couple of months, When things eased off and we were out driving again, it didn\'t feel right, the problem was in the front wheels, juddering, when braking. Went back to see John about it, the discs were warped,He replaced them under the AT warranty. Although the MOT has been extended, he is still going to put it through another one for me towards the end of the year, Good initial service and continuing good service!

Pleasure to deal with. Very open and honest. Car was exactly as described.

Found John very helpful and informative, couldn’t ask for any better

Previously posted. Took Kilkenny to court and won. Didn't even have the decency to turn up but sent legal representation. Still hasn't paid approx £10,200 owed and mounting. Buyer beware. Its only when you have to look you question who you buy from. Has a history of dissolving companies. Check Companies House/Government Gazette. Public knowledge and in public domain. In the issues resolved I can't add his quote "take me to court I have deep pockets" we did. You didn't turn up!!

John comes across as a very honest & very accommodating used car dealer who seems to have plenty of time & patience in reassuring the customer that they are getting the best deal & the most reliable car possible. I showed serious interest in what turned out to be a seriously overpriced 12 year old volvo estate with 98,000 miles on the clock.The asking price was £6500 & although the car looked immaculate,i later found out there are far better deals around the UK with much younger & more up to date models. In the meantime,i had paid a deposit of £400 (to include the fitting of rear parking sensors by another company) & in part exchange for my Volkswagen Passat (registered in December of 2014) in excellent condition with only 52,000 miles on the clock & a full service history with the latest service & mot just two days old.I was seeking an estate for the purpose of my two black labradors. When i realized my mistake in committing to such an old car at such a high price,i attempted to cancel my order JUST TWO DAYS after committing to buy it. However,John insisted he had already carried out a full service & mot in that time & he had also had the rear sensors fitted by a third party,all of which seems highly unlikely,given the time frame ,especially as he had initially said he would contact me in a week or so when all the work was done. So he refuses to refund me any part of my £400 deposit,... Please do not trust this seemingly very trustworthy used car salesman,...

Purchased Mercedes Benz B Class from John. Closed on a Sunday but happily agreed to meet me to allow test drive, after putting deposit down I couldn't collect for a week so John kindly sent out his colleague to collect me which was above my expectation. Car checked over, good to go, 6mth warranty to take to garage of my choice gives me confidence John's not selling me a banger, alot of places insist you use their 'guys' and the fact I got AA membership the day before collection so it would kick in before I left garage was also a great service. Love my new car and feel I got a top spec 2nd hand car for a superb price (I done my homework). Great dealing with John, no hard sell, very informative but not pushy, which was refreshing after spending the day at other showrooms where they would ask their cheesy manager to try work their magic and telling me how great a car it is but when I asked questions on the actual cars the response would be 'I'm not sure, we have so many cars but put a deposit down or you'll miss out' if you're like me and hate all that dated sexist nonsense because you're female and they think you'll fall for all that go speak to John, he'll keep you right. John also told me how to market my old car, how much to sell it for because I would get double amount selling privately, sold my car within 2 days going on his advise so a really helpful guy all round and great customer service by calling me a few days later to ask if I was happy with purchase and if any issues, can't ask for much better service.

Bought a Honda Civic type R GT 2008 from John 2 weeks ago, he let me test drive the car alone which I did and everything seemed ok mechanically. However when I got home I tried to fold the electric mirrors and one did not work, the driver door speaker was not working which I found on the way home to Inverness and the plastic of the handle fell off with the silicone still wet. I emailed him he called straight back and agreed to send the mirror part required to fix the motor and replacement used speaker which now works! With being so far it was either go to him or he send the parts which I was happy with. Shame about the plastic cover on the door handle which he admitted came off during machine polishing. I glued that back on myself and now all little issues sorted. There is a current noise with the clutch release bearing only when cold which Honda have said it fine to leave just now but may fail in near future, also rust on inside of passenger door which hopefully covered under 12 year Honda warranty. I would have given 5 stars as these issues are easily sorted before purchasing but reduced to 3. Would I buy again?? Possibly but partly my own fault for not checking everything thourogly. He did however put brand new MOT and service on the car for me so will leave 4 deserved stars. Be sure to check everything when buying he did not pressure me into anything I was just keen. He was honest but if he took more notice in the smaller things as well could easily be 5 stars

Very happy with my car from John Kilkenny Cars.

Our old car was written off so we were in a hurry as we had a trip down south planned, we bought a Volvo estate from john which suited our daily life style, the car was quickly turned around which suited us, it was moted, serviced and was gleaming when we collected it, there was also a bunch of flowers in the car for my wife which was a nice touch, 10 out of 10.
