Fantastic service I phoned up Jaguar as I had a problem with my car within four hours. I had some at my house going over the car. They said it would be best for me to take it to Canterbury which I did the service there was fantastic I was greeted at reception which day took me through to another member of the team who would be looking after a vehicle and was informed that I will be kept up-to-date with the diagnostic progress .I was given JLR replacement car while mine was being repaired,every day I was informed on the progress and the problem which they found I cannot fault this service. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you to all the staff and technicians involved.

Really helpful aftersales appointment
Having just bought a used car from Barretts , I was offered an appointment with Brandon to familiarise myself with the technology and functions of the vehicle . So glad I did , as despite my last vehicle being a BMW it was really helpful to have knowledge of all the menus and functions , which just makes life a whole lot easier rather than ‘trial and error ‘ or trawling through the car manual . Really helpful and informative appointment for anyone who has just bought a vehicle .Great customer service thank you.

An appointment with the "genius"
The reception staff are friendly, not formal, and seem genuinely pleased to welcome you.
The reception area and refreshments are good.
I had a specific appointment to see Brandon to explain how my new car computer worked, and what it could do for me. Brandon is very personable, realised my tech knowledge is very limited and explained everything to me very clearly.

Barretts of Canterbury and my NEW CAR which broke down after after only 130 Miles
On the 1st March 2025 I purchased a new Range Rover from Barretts of Canterbury which cost over £60,000's. After only 130 Miles the car broke down TEN feet from our reserved parking bay at THE Grand Hotel in Eastbourne. The car could NOT be repaired and was taken away on a low loader back to Barretts. The new car and our stay at The Grand Hotel was a birthday treat to me from my wife. A telephone call and an Email from Barretts stated that they would request JLR in recognition of our experience , and due to loss in confidences in our Evoque a gesture of GOOD WILL equal to the cost of our stay at The Grand Hotel. We duly sent off to Barretts the receipts from the hotel. No monies were ever received from Barretts. As Barretts claim to be a family run business who had been trading for over 120 years ,I contacted the Managing Director. In total I sent him FIVE Emails. He did NOT reply to any of these. Eventually I managed to speak to the Franchise Director Barry O'Donogohue. He made the amazing statement that Barretts did not make any money out of selling cars. Therefore I would not be receiving any Good Will Payment despite our experiences with a new car they had sold to me. That remains the case today. I believe that we have been the victims of poor business practises by Barretts who claim to be a family run business.BEWARE !!!!

Brandon was an excellent demonstrator.
Brandon was an excellent demonstrator. He had prepared well in advance for the questions we had supplied, and was able to answer them clearly and patiently. He also showed us some neat features we were unaware of, and answered additional off-the-cuff questions with ease. We really appreciated his time and the opportunity to get to know the car better.

Excellent Customer Experience
My experience of Barratts Kent has been excellent. While I did not end up purchasing a car from Barratts, their customer service has been stand out - and I have been test driving and visiting various showrooms across Essex and Kent, over several months, in my hunt for the perfect new car. Lydia was brilliant, calling to let me know of new vehicles coming in, making sure she knew exactly what i was looking for to make sure she was calling for the right reasons, and was a pleasure to deal with. Would definitely recommend Barratts and Lydia.

Great service from Aaron and Barretts
A great experience dealing with Aaron Norton, from first contact to collecting the car, Aaron made every effort to make sure the car had the features I desired and a few other nice additions.
No hard sell, just professional and friendly guidance to the right car for me.
Handover was simple but thorough, with everything explained about the car, pairing of phone and connecting Apple Car Play.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Barrett’s and especially Arron Norton to anyone looking for a new or used BMW

Excellent Experience With Barrett's Canterbury
I recently purchased an M4 Competition from Josh at Barretts Canterbury, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Looking to move quickly with the purchase, I reserved the car late on Thursday evening. Josh promptly got in touch to go over the details, and by Saturday, I was collecting the vehicle. I’ve never had a smoother or more enjoyable car-buying experience.
When I arrived at the dealership, I was warmly welcomed by Brandon, who took the time to walk me through the car and its features. His in-depth knowledge and passion for the brand really stood out. After that, I completed the paperwork with Emma and was handed the keys. Every person I dealt with at Barretts was professional, helpful, and a pleasure to speak with. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
