Spotted the car on line, rang and was told that when we arrived I should ask for Pete Damerall. Arrived on the Monday morning and from the start Pete was very helpful, actively listened and made it clear that he would only be happy if we were happy with the car. We decided to go ahead and buy the car and Pete made various promises to rectify some minor faults that we identified - all promises were fulfilled. He even sorted some last minute issues that I had been thinking about. On picking up the car Pete talked me through the basic setup to ensure safe driving and undertook to ring me the following week after his bank holiday break, to check everything was ok. Sure enough, on the Tuesday morning he rang and dealt with a couple of residual issues more than satisfactorily. (Also with a thank you to Marcus). Both my wife and I were extremely impressed with the way we were treated throughout the process. Pete is an asset to Speedwell Kia and a credit to his parents. I have been promised all sorts of things by Car Salesmen over the years, few of which have been delivered without some table thumping by me, but Pete ensured what he promised was fulfilled. The focus on customer satisfaction and ensuring that they get it right would certainly encourage me to give Speedwell Kia repeat business. Thanks very much for what you did Pete.

My husband and I went to Exeter today to get some more information on Electric / Hybrids and look at the Sportage model We were welcomed offered a seat and drink in the waiting area . Andy came to meet us and after explaining our situation offered to take us out on a test drive. His knowledge was unbelievable. How he retains all that information is amazing!!! We looked at various options and one had sold just before we decided. Not to be deterred he looked at others , costings and models all explained thoroughly. At no point did we feel under any pressure to buy- a welcome change to other experiences over the years. He made us feel so relaxed and informed. He then asked his manager Raul to become involved and between the two of them went out of their way to find us the perfect deal. All in all the whole experience was a pleasure and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to friends and family. Very excited to get our new car!! Thanks to all involved your knowledge, friendly approach and free coffee was very much appreciated!!

I called in yesterday and was delighted to be met by Tom. Having purchased many cars over my 60 plus years I would say that Tom is one of the best car salesmen I’ve come across. A pleasant nature, great at offering up helpful suggestions and very knowledgeable about cars. And not of the now old fashioned pushy ilk. Tom even managed to convince me that hybrids aren’t so scary which is quite an achievement with me! Thank you Tom for your time and it was a real pleasure to meet you.

I'm very impressed with my 2025 Kia Picanto. It has exceeded my expectations. Steve was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process; nothing was too much trouble. It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Steve, whom I found to be such a delightful character.

THIS review is to thank William and all the team at Speedwell Kia Exeter branch. This I should point out also includes the lady on reception Karen who welcomed with a big smile sat us down introduced us to William and then made us a lovely coffee. Very impressive. I have dealt with many sales people in my 50 odd years of buying cars and have felt at times pressured into buying something I was unsure of. None of that with William he took his time gave us plenty of information on the cars available that may suit out needs. He was at all times very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. He want through the advantages of the car we was interested in and gave us time to consider if this would be the car for us. I was introduced to the manager Roul who we could tell was also very professional and runs a very well oiled team catering for all types and age rangers of customers in the showroom. He let us know if we needed anything further he would make himself available to us at any time. He then left us in the very capable hands of William who took his time with us and went through the car details and the process if we bought in a very informed and professional way. I think William would be an ideal trainer for new members of staff showing the benefits he possesses when dealing with older members of the buying public. It would be wise to remember they have the money to buy the newer upmarket cars and with someone like William who takes the time to explain to them the vast advantages the Kia cars have I think you're on a winner with this member of staff on your team. This may be the last car I buy but I would certainly recommend the great team at Speedwell Kia to pay these informed executives a visit.
