    Unfortunately I purchased a car from here 2 years ago now and my experience went from bad to worse. I’m only leaving this now as my warranty has expired. There were multiple issues with the car within the first year of owning it. One occurring just 5 weeks after buying it. They sent me home SEVERAL times after saying the car was repaired only for me to break down on the motorway. I’m not sure their testing is thorough once they have done a “repair”. Some of these were particularly dangerous situations due to the nature of the problems with the car. Ultimately the issues were sorted but the process was incredibly stressful, made worse by bad communication and a lack of anyone taking responsibility for the bad service we received. I wasted a lot of time driving back and forth as I live over an hour away. The only occasion I felt that I was being listened to, or even acknowledged to be honest, was when speaking with Kev. He was very nice but unfortunately I only spoke with him once, then I was passed onto others who were incredibly rude. Also, I had taken out an extra warranty but, as to be expected, they will try to charge you for everything. Once they have you’re money, they are not remotely interested in being even vaguely pleasant with you. I’m not entirely sure how or why some of the staff here have customer facing jobs. Absolutely would not recommend anyone buying a used car here. Edited to respond… Thanks Naz but unfortunately we spoke in length at the time about how dissatisfied we were. There is nothing more to say.

    This was my first experience with JCT, I would strongly recommend them to trade. I got my vehicle on time and delivered as promised. There was an issue as there were scratches on my dash that wasn't visible on camera and videos that were posted, but the company honoured the agreement to get them fix free of charge. I worked with Ross Sparkes who gave a professional and friendly service whilst delivering on what he promised.

    Really great customer service. Work carried out and everything had clear pricing and explained to me what was needed. I had a querry over a part and Grace could not do enough to help me. The service team updated me via a video and fitted parts needed. I checked and to my surprise they were cheaper than online prices at other well know garages) thanks again 👍

    Easy to book, was contacted day before to ask if everything was still ok and we were attending the appointment. Drop off was good, good contact throughout and they even came to pick us up, as buses on strike, afterwards. Very pleasant staff and excellent service.

    Aaron Haigh was a fantastic sales person. When I showed interest in a Sportage he took a video of the car inside and out and sent it to me. He helped me through the whole process of purchase and I really appreciated his guidance. I would recommend Jct 600 Castleford and particularly Aaron. Thank you for a brilliant experience.

    Recently purchased a used car from here, from start to finish it was a stress free, relaxing process. I even took an evening to speak to the wife to make sure it met our needs and there was no pressure, no pushy sales it was left in my hands to then contact them to organise purchase. Ross Sparkes was amazing from start to finish, answered all my questions and made the process easy from deposit to pick up of car. Thank you. Would highly recommend

    Pleasant experience, friendly sales staff. Very helpful, especially Ross Sparkes. He described the benefits of each of the models in the range of cars I was interested in. Detailing the difference with each model and the cost and benefit of each. Couldn't have made the correct choice without the help offered.

    I recently bought a Hyundai Tucson from Aaron Haigh at KIA, he made the whole process so easy for me! He explained everything to me in a way I understood, I never felt pressured or overwhelmed, he gave me time to think about what I wanted and was great with his knowledge on the car and its features! He was understanding that I wouldn't make a decision without consulting my friend first, and that sometimes I'd let her speak for me, he didn't exclude her or only speak with me, I really valued how much he included her too as she was a big help with me in the buying process and decisions! I highly recommend KIA Castleford and Aaron, thanks so much for making it an enjoyable, non stressful and fun process! The GardX protection is also totally worth it!

    I have been dealing with James, Sale Manager, over the last couple of weeks. My issues have been resolved and has kept me up to date along the way. Buying the car was a smooth process including home delivery, the after sales support has been good whereas other garages would wash their hands with you once you’ve handed over your cash.

    Absolutely terrible service so disappointed today . We decided on a new Kia sportage hybrid , the figures and costs were all worked out for us on Saturday and test drive booked Sunday . We test drove on Sunday with salesman and decided to go ahead , then we were told all the figures the previous day was for a different vehicle and could not sell us the car we arranged to buy. Complete management shambles , the manager even left it to the sales man to tell us , could not even apologize in person…This should not have happened..

    Always relaxed very professional atmosphere, always ready to help and pleased to see you. Never stop thanking you for your business. New car sales will go as far as they can to get a deal to suit you where they can. Very helpful.

    Aaron was a superstar! Bought a Fiesta from them. Aaron was on top of everything at the highest priority, handled some obstacles (unrelated to the company) like a pro and made the experience brilliant! Highly recommend!

    Great experience at JCT600 KIA Castleford. Special shout out to the worker Ross, he ensured I had a quick hassle free buying process whilst listening and answering any enquiries as quick as he could. He was very friendly and full of life during my collection process too putting me at ease. Finally even after the purchase was completed he escorted me to the vehicle and went through all the lovely features.

    Great service and friendly staff. Confirmed everything about my service and any issues. Emily ensured I was kept updated and arranged my future appointment for brake pads.

    I have recently bought a car from JCT600 Kia Castleford. I had dealings with both Jack, the manager and Reece an amazing salesman. I was looked after from start to finish. My experience was superb. Reece was so very respectful, informative and even emailed me out of office hours with information on the car. I would 100% recommend this dealership especially Reece who even gave me a courtesy call the day after purchase to make sure I was still happy with my purchase. Thank you very much Reece for making the experience stress free thoroughly enjoyable and will definitely return

    I can highly recommend Ross at JCT600 Kia Castleford. Ross was extremely helpful with our search for a new car - he listened to our requirements and offered the highest standards of service, knowledge, help and professionalism. If you are looking for a new vehicle I would strongly suggest contacting Ross at JCT600 Kia Castleford - whether you live near this company or are located a distance away as we are.

    As always, excellent customer service, kept me informed about the car throughout the whole process

  • 4/5 Paul C. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty straight forward people know what they are doing. Took car in for M.O.T. no probs so pleased about that. Should have been at the Vauxhall side of the business but now doing work at the Kia side. Apparently Vauxhall not be there early next year so might be a problem with diagnostic checks on Vauxhall cars which is a bit of a bummer if car under warranty. Have to find another Vauxhall retailer. But all in all happy with visit.

    A really friendly efficient dealership. Traded in my car and bought another one here. Tom & Jenny were brilliant throughout. A very pleasant experience from start to finish, cannot recommend them highly enough.

    Terrible. Massively over priced. Charged for work I did not authorise, although eventually refunded after a tense standoff where I was accused of lying and requesting the work. Staff had terrible knowledge of basic vehicle maintenance to the point I was explaining to them how a locking wheel nut works. Do not use!! Find a trustworthy garage

    Chris was very helpful and obliging even though we didn't find a suitable car, not at all pushy. He was very knowledgeable regarding the fact we needed a car for towing. Would definitely go back if the right car comes in.

    Absolutely fantastic service Aaron was incredible from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble. Answered all our questions. Super professional, knowledgable and made us feel so at ease. Not at all pushy but have us all the information to make our own choices. Found us the perfect car thank you Aaron!
