Customer Reviews

“From beginning to end the whole process was an excellent experience. Unlike many other dealerships, we felt at ease, unhurried, and I pressured. Steve's natural and relaxed manner really is something he and the dealership should celebrate. He was patient, knowledgable, and attentive. Test driving the car without scrutiny is also a positive. All in all a faultless experience, and we would certainly return in the future as well as recommending the others.”

“Had a warranty problem which was sorted out very professionally and as quickly as possible. Many thanks to Steve speedwells Senior technician”

“Steve Peralta is a very warm and friendly sales person who was a pleasure to deal with. He spent time with my wife and I in explaining the different models of Picanto which resulted in us purchasing a vehicle that matched our needs. Steve clearly explained the finance options and the optional extras, which we purchased through Kia. Despite delivery delays, Steve kept us informed of progress. When we took delivery of the Picanto X line S Auto, Steve spent time with us explaining all the features, linked our phones to the car and generally ensured that we understood the car's controls.


We have experienced Speedwell Newton Abbot's excellent service with our Kia Niro EV, so based on that we purchased a service plan with them for the new Picanto.


Finally, we can thoroughly recommend the excellent service we have had from Steve Peralta and Kia Speedwell Newton Abbot which we cannot fault.”

“Amazing service from start to finish with buying my little Fiat 500. I was unable to view it and was provided with a detailed honest description with a video. Liam was very friendly and helpful and so easy to deal with. He delivered the car today and I am a very happy customer looking forward to a lot of fun trips.



Faultless service and easy transaction, thank you for all your help .”

“My third purchase of a Kia from Speedwell Group and, as usual, the experience from start to finish has been excellent from Peter Damerell on Sales through to Marcus the Sales manager and Clare on Service Reception who went the extra mile for me beyond her remit to assist with a logistics problem. I am grateful to them all. As for the KIA Niro, probably the best car I have ever had and certainly from the best Dealership. Cars, Staff, Sales and Service, all highly recommended.”

“We recently picked up our upgraded Motability Kia Sportage from you after a long few years waiting. Firstly the car is AMAZING and almost drives itself! Having a reliable comfortable car helps me stay independent and its just perfect for my needs. Secondly we have to feedback the truly awesome customer service from Steve Peralta at Newton Abbot. He truly represents the highest levels of customer service we have experienced. His updates were regular and he never forgot us in all that time. He chased and guided through the challenges the car industry faced with Brexit and COVID. From the days when Motability removed Kia from their lists, to helping us challenge that with them, to calling us to tell us our challenge had worked, to helping sort out the paperwork issues with Motability and the bureaucracy that involved! He has helped us so much to navigate a difficult process and recognised the challenges Niki has being disabled. He always acknowledges Niki's spinal issues in such a cheerful friendly way...it puts a smile on her face. We have superb banter too. He also took the time to help us navigate the new car and all its great new gadgets! No words could fully express our gratitude that Steve always goes the extra mile at every stage and hope he is still there when we have to upgrade again! Regards Matt and Niki Redmond”
