Chris made the experience exceptionally special with a pre-delivery video, a 'day before' teaser video with some helpful reminders and a dramatic reveal on delivery day. It was an awesome experience that will live with me for a very long time.
10 April 2025
Simon and Brad were excellent throughout the process. Handover was very thorough.

This is the fourth new car we have bought from Barretts. On each occasion, we have been exceptionally well looked after, both in terms of overall service and the deals we have been offered.

I did not actually purchase my vehicle in person at the centre

11 April 2025
Was promised to be informed of progress at all times on WhatsApp. Other than informing me of starting the process no other onward communication. Even asked for how much the work costed on WhatsApp but went unanswered.

Efficient and courteous service
31 March 2025
Good service, no complaints
31 March 2025
Only 1 complaint - you no longer offer a collection service - not too bad as this time was only a 2 hour job but would be a problem if you need the car all day (or half a day).

Excellent all round.
12 March 2025
Everything was fine but the car wash was substandard
10 March 2025
Because you did what you told to do to my car, has you not done it? I would've put down that you're useless but you're not so put the truth. I'm very happy thank you very much.
10 March 2025
Very good service
10 March 2025
Well informed staff who are genuinely passionate. Very polite and engaging I make mention of the service technician who even but my tyres to the right PSI. Also mention to Sophie Simpson who was very knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout.

Helpful and responsive.

It took less than 5mins to drop off and again pick up including getting access to the loan car.

The work was done in a timely timescale and the car was washed before being returned.

Looking after the customers job well done
07 March 2025
Sophie from the service department was helpful, communicative and very professional. The work was carried out efficiently. Highly recommended
07 March 2025
The quality of the work was good, but the costs (eg an estimate of over £2500 to replace a headlight!) seem out of control
04 March 2025
James seemed like a good person.
04 March 2025
Staff and service excellent with the collection of vehicle exactly on time and returned in a very timely manner.
04 March 2025
Very easy to deal with, polite, very clear of what I wanted, explained the process and no up selling.
03 March 2025
there was some poor communication which meant i had to rebook my car in tog et the work completed
02 March 2025
I have had an outstanding recall on the car for more than a year - BMW wrote to me to say the parts were now available and the dealer confirmed the work would be done - but it wasnt. Dealer said the parts were not available. Grrrr.
01 March 2025
Helpful staff, kept me informed of progress during the day of my service
01 March 2025
I received a call before putting my car in for MOT and service, asking if I had anything that needed to be looked at, and how Barrett's could make my experience extra special. The work I flagged wasn't done and car wasn't washed.
25 February 2025
I felt I was being made responsible for the fault on my car. I have driven BMW's for the past 14 years and feel I know my way round the basics. There are two things one has to do when parking. Press the off button and lock the car via the key fob.
24 February 2025
Was told that the
24 February 2025
Please see above
23 February 2025
The car part was ordered in advance and the time taken to do the repair was exactly as stated.
22 February 2025
See last comment
22 February 2025
My dash cam was unplugged for the service but never plugged back in, I didn't realise till I was on the motorway. I was called once my service and MOT was completed but not when my car was cleaned and ready to be picked up, I had to call the recept
22 February 2025
The problem was repaired and the staff where amazing
22 February 2025
Actual service procedure was fine but see above
22 February 2025
I was kept informed at every stage, felt very safe leaving my car with this garage. No problems at all.
19 February 2025
As mentioned above and also for the professional video performed by the staff
19 February 2025
Professional, courteous service
19 February 2025
Easy to book, drop off and collect. Useful health check video too.
18 February 2025
The fault in my IX1 could not be detected and fixed. I got no reassurance from the dealer that the problem will not happen again. Considering that I was stranded with the car in the middle of France that's not good enough.
17 February 2025
The solution for the problem was not really a great one. I still find it very strange and a total pain that every time I wash my car I have to take it for a drive so that my hand brake does not get stuck. Its not a great solution.
17 February 2025
Kept me informed and returned the car to me
17 February 2025
Again staff very friendly and helpful and made the experience very easy.
15 February 2025
Very efficient service. With complimentary health check and loan car. Thank you
14 February 2025
Good to have a visual check sent to 'phone and email
14 February 2025
See earlier response.
13 February 2025
The staff were very helpfull
13 February 2025
Abbie and Sophie were a pleasure to deal with.
12 February 2025
No issues encountered, very helpful staff
12 February 2025
Did what was probably minimum.
12 February 2025
Not Barretts fault per say, but they couldn't do the work due to requirement that my headlights were completely 100% covered in compensation before they could do the work under warranty
12 February 2025
Great customer service
12 February 2025
Very well organised with great communication throughout regarding cost and updates. Check-in process seamless, and I was able to have a loan car that was ready for me to collect when I dropped my car off so that the service did not impact on my day.
11 February 2025
I wouldn't go anywhere else, amazing friendly staff, professional and efficient. I cannot fault this dealership they are a pleasure to deal with.
11 February 2025
As stated above. Mini have a much better feel.
10 February 2025
Your Ashford branch is a credit to BMW both in service and quality of public relations by your administrative staff.
08 February 2025
I had asked for someone to unclip the centre seat belt (it repacks into the roof) because I was unable to release it. I was told this would be done unfortunately it was not, I did not realise this until I was on my way home .
08 February 2025
The service was quick
07 February 2025
Very happy. Was recovered to Barretts by BMW Assistance following a puncture on the motorway. They had me back on the road in 90 minutes and the staff were very friendly and helpful, even offering me an office to work in whilst I waited.
06 February 2025
No visual health check carried out, minor point but car wasn't washed as there was a problem with a hose...
03 February 2025
I lost a month's MOT due to an error by the booking team. The compensation offered does not reflect their error and the inconvenience to me. I expected better by a main dealer. Dropped off at 07:45am, the car was not ready until 5pm, then chased.
03 February 2025
Staff very courteous and helpfull
03 February 2025
N/A
02 February 2025
Great service, felt a warm welcome and was really nice to see that they had drinks, fruit and biscuits available for the customers
01 February 2025
The car issue highlighted is still not resolved.
21 April 2025
I was very satisfied with the deal I recieved and the continuous updates from Aaron Norton on the progress of my new car.
