Written by the company
Our Story. Our Standards. Our Cars. What you see today didn't happen overnight. The journey began in 2012, long before the name Kingsbridge Automotive existed, built on a simple belief: sell the right cars, do things properly, and treat every vehicle as if it were your own. That belief became the foundation for Kingsbridge Automotive in 2016. Since then, we have grown organically into a respected, high-quality specialist dealership, recognised for sourcing and supplying exceptional Performance and 4x4 vehicles, with a relentless focus on specification, condition, and detail. That reputation hasn't been built on volume or quick turnover. It has been built on careful selection, high standards, and consistency. We specialise in high-specification, individual Performance and 4x4 vehicles, each chosen on its own merit. If a car doesn't meet our expectations, it simply doesn't make it into stock. Every vehicle is prepared for sale as if it were ours to keep. That means attention to detail, proper mechanical inspection, and presentation that reflects pride in what we're offering - not shortcuts, not excuses. Whether a car is £10,000 or £100,000+, the approach never changes. As the business grew, so did our understanding of what customers really wanted. Not just great cars, but cars that felt personal. Cars that reflected their taste, their lifestyle, and how they intended to use them. That's why we introduced Enhanced by Kingsbridge - a considered way to offer personalisation and upgrades without compromising quality. From subtle refinements to full visual transformations, every enhancement is approached with the same mindset that defines everything we do: do it once, do it properly, and do it to a standard we're proud to put our name against. Kingsbridge has grown through reputation, repeat customers, and word of mouth. Many of our clients return time and time again, and others travel significant distances to buy from us - not because we shout the loudest, but because they trust how we operate. This has never been about shifting cars. It's about building something properly, taking pride in the details, and standing behind every vehicle we sell - just as we did when this journey started back in 2012.

New car purchase
I’ve recently purchased my first sports car from Harry at Kingsbridge. I wasn’t totally sure that I was ready to make the purchase but Harry was very helpful without being pushy, to be honest the car sold itself. 3 months on I’m extremely happy with my purchase and Harry’s been on the phone whenever I’ve needed some advice. I’d definitely recommend Kingsbridge and I’ll certainly contact Harry when I decide to upgrade.

Bought a car from Kingsbridge
Bought a car from Kingsbridge and the whole process ran very smoothly and professionally thanks to Harry. Although the car purchased was low in value compared to most of their stock I felt we received the same level of service we would have expected if we had bought something more expensive. I would definitely use them again.

Was a pleasure making a deal with Eva
Was a pleasure making a deal with Eva. The transaction was seamless. Eva made a fair offer on my vehicle and throughout the sale communication was great. Very happy overall. Thanks Eva, we'll miss our Yeti but I'm sure the next owner will appreciate the vehicle as much as we did. Best, Neil

Be very careful
Be very careful
As some others have said, they purchased my vehicle via carwow. In great condition and no issues. As others have also said upon collection tried to reduce the price due to market values as they could not find any issues. If they do not realise car values go up and down they should not be in business.
Absolutely scandalous company, if they don't want to buy at a certain price simply do not bid. Would genuinely never buy or sell to them again.
They sell some nice cars but operate like a 3rd rate garage.
Take your money and go to a far more trustworthy company.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you feel let down, and we absolutely understand how frustrating it would be to believe a sale price wasn’t honoured — especially when you’ve taken care of your vehicle.
As a business that buys hundreds of cars every year, we work hard to ensure our offers are fair, accurate, and based on real-time market data. While market fluctuations can sometimes affect valuations, it’s never our intention to mislead or reduce offers without clear reasoning. In all cases, we aim to be as transparent and respectful as possible during every step of the process.
That said, we’ve looked into your review thoroughly and have not been able to locate a vehicle purchase from a customer named Chris in the past three months. We’ve also reached out via Trustpilot’s “Find Reviewer” tool to gather more details and investigate further, but unfortunately, we haven’t received a response.
We’re proud to have thousands of satisfied customers and are grateful for the many positive reviews that reflect the hard work and integrity of our team. Of course, in any high-volume business, there may occasionally be situations where expectations aren’t fully met — and when that happens, we do everything we can to listen, learn, and improve.
If this review does relate to a genuine transaction, we’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly to better understand what went wrong and try to put it right.
Kind Regards
Kingsbridge Buying Team
I’m so impressed with Eli (kingsbidge)
I’m so impressed with Eli (kingsbidge)! They’ve bought a few of my cars from me now, and they’ve always paid a great price. They’re honest and upfront about the price, and they’ve been a pleasure to work with. The cars were picked up within 24 hours, and the payment was made on the spot.
I also know other people who have bought from them and have nothing but great things to say. They’re definitely a reliable and trustworthy source for car purchases and sales.

Anna was a great help and it was very straightforward no messing around. Test drove the car, went back a few days later and bought the car which they provided with a fresh service and MOT, even offered a valet but I was in a rush to get on the road!

Recently purchased a car from Kingsbridge Automotive Ltd and I am impressed with the service I received. From the initial inquiry to driving away in my new car, the entire process was seamless and enjoyable.Thanks to Harry, who handled the process with professionalism and efficiency. He was knowledgeable and made the entire transaction smooth , stress free and was just a phone call away . On the day of collection Sara was great. She had everything prepared and took the time to show me around the car and answer any questions ensuring I was ready to go. Her friendly and welcoming demeanor made the handover a pleasant experience.I would recommend Kingsbridge Automotive Ltd. The team, especially Harry and Sara, provides a level of customer service that is second to none.

Quick Easy Sale
Arranged a sale through motorway, team turned up quickly and gave the car a thorough once over. Due to a late evening sale the team trusted me to resolve some outstanding bits but paid the full amount agreed upon prior. Great service, would sell to these guys again.

Hi Steve, we're really sorry to hear that you feel this way.
First and foremost, thank you for choosing to sell your car to Kingsbridge. It’s worth noting that our offer was significantly above those made by We Buy Any Car and typical trade-in valuations—by over £4,500—which we believe was a key factor in your decision to proceed with us.
We want to reassure you and others reading this that no time was wasted. We arrived exactly as agreed, carried out our inspection professionally, and made immediate payment via instant bank transfer for the final agreed amount. While this figure was slightly lower than your initial expectations, it reflected the findings from our on-site inspection, as well as up-to-date market comparisons.
Our final offer remained highly competitive—well above standard trade values—and was accepted by you before we proceeded with full payment, completion of all paperwork, and collection of the vehicle.
There was absolutely no dishonesty or time-wasting at any stage—just a fair and transparent process from start to finish.
Nonetheless, we're genuinely sorry if you felt disappointed in any way with the experience. We always aim to provide a professional, fast, and fair service, and we wish you all the very best for the future.
Kind regards,
The Kingsbridge Team
Professional, Helpful and Stress-Free Experience
I had an excellent experience with Kingsbridge Automotive Ltd. From start to finish, the process was smooth and professional. A special thank you to Harry Leighton, whose professionalism, knowledge, and helpful approach made everything straightforward and stress-free. He went above and beyond to ensure I had all the information I needed and guided me through each step with great care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kingsbridge Automotive Ltd, and especially Harry, to anyone looking for outstanding service.

Retirement Dream Car
We only came to look at a few of their campervans but after some very helpful guidance from Harry he steered us towards a VW California Coats but suggested we wait a few days for them to take receipt of a VW California Ocean. We are thrilled with it and The Kingsbridge team did everything and more to get us up and running. Looking forward to a very active retirement soon when we can drink in the wilder parts of Scotland!

Buying experience from Kingsbridge
I recently traded in a car for a Skoda Superb 4x4 estate, having driven 265 miles to collect based upon the website information and the telephone discussions with Harry. The car was as described and beautifully presented. The deal was efficiently completed as agreed and all of the handover paperwork required undertaken. Unfortunately on the long journey home I noticed a problem. However, once home I contacted Harry and arranged for the car to be inspected by my very experienced Skoda independent. Harry and Eli at Kingsbridge Automotive Ltd quickly sorted out the warranty claim with the garage.
Having had a previous poor experience with a used car dealer I can say that Kingsbridge are excellent and fair, and certainly look after their customers. I would certainly buy from them again.
