Eight months into the purchase of an approved used Skoda Octavia, the driver's side sun visor came off in my hand. I have tried to get both Skoda and Citygate to pay for this under warranty, but both have given me the finger. This is the second time in my life that VW have treated me appallingly - the previous time, parts started failing on my vehicle after their special 'software fix' for the Dieselgate scandal. It seems that once you've spent your money, VW Group simply does not care. I am clearly the mug for buying another car from them and giving them a second chance. VW Group is losing money hand over first to Chinese companies now, and it's not hard to see why. A dishonest, greedy company that doesn't deserve anyone's business. Avoid.

I had a very positive experience with Tasana

I had a very positive experience with Citygate Škoda Service Colindale for my car’s service and repairs. Tassana was very helpful throughout the process and took the time to answer all my questions.
Many thanks to Tassana and the team for their excellent service!

I recently had a fantastic car-buying experience at Volkswagen, and I have to give credit where it's due. Zachary and Hamid were the two people who made an absolute difference throughout the entire process.
Both were incredibly knowledgeable and clearly understood their vehicles inside and out, answering every question with confidence and clarity. What stood out most was their communication — they stayed in touch with me throughout the whole process, and whenever I had a query, they responded promptly and never left me waiting.
It's rare to find that level of attentiveness and expertise combined, and it made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Thank you to Zachary and Hamid for going above and beyond — I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a VW at Citygate Watford!

Very efficient experience …

This was my first time using Citygate St Albans for an oil change service for my Polo. It was a pleasant and efficient experience, I particularly liked being able to see my car as it was worked on and the waiting room was a nice place to wait. Over all the staff are really friendly and when I mentioned needing to leave by a certain time - Laura made sure I was kept updated and was happily driving off in my clean, serviced car in great time for me to get to work. I have a service plan with VW and this whole experience was seamless and very easy. Highly recommended.

Kaleem was amazing

Kaleem was amazing. He even came running out to the car park to seal the deal when I went to look at a new car. On picking the car up he moved my spare tyre to the new one and helped get the car all set up. He listened to me when I set out what I was willing to pay and I got a good deal. He is a good ambassador for Citygate.

Kia High Wycombe

I recently purchased a car from this Kia dealership and had a great experience from start to finish. The staff were very friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the whole process. Everything was explained clearly, and they made buying the car easy and stress-free.

I’m very happy with my new car and would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking to buy a Kia. Thank you for the excellent service!

Excellence at Citygate West London

Professional staff, made me feel welcomed on arrival by greeting. My car needed a major service and MOT. I felt valued as I was explained of what would happen, how long it would take and when complete a phone call to collect. I also received a video inspection report on my car and the car was cleaned inside and out. An excellent service at Citygate West London which I have been going to for over 5 years.

Service Experience Ruislip

Was met at City Gate ruislip by Chase and service handled by Clare. Both very welcoming and accommodating with my concerns and made the experience positive. Clare further answered any questions I had post service thoroughly and spoke me through the processes. Both a credit to the team.
