Once again we experienced excellent service from Barrett’s Honda in Canterbury. Part exchanging our Jazz was done professionally and with ease. We always feel very confident with the excellent sales service provided. Flynn the salesman who dealt with our purchase was professional in all aspects of the process. This is not our first time purchasing a car through Barrett’s, which goes to show how happy we are with all aspects of the Barrett’s business.

I would give her 10 stars if I could!



“I want to extend my thanks to Sophie Simpson for her exceptional customer service and dedication. She went above and beyond to ensure my issue was addressed, keeping me updated every step of the way. Her professionalism and attention to detail truly stood out.

A special mention also goes to Andy, the senior BMW technician, whose expertise and determination were instrumental in resolving a minor yet tricky issue with my car. His commitment to finding a solution was remarkable. Together, Sophie and Andy provided a level of service that exceeded my expectations. Thank you both!”
