We are proud and very thankful to all our customers that send in letters, emails and thank you cards of appreciation.
The testimonials written below are just a fraction of the amount we actually receive.
We have had many successful transactions with Speedwell over the years, so when it came time to change cars, this was the first place we looked. A used, one year old, Kia Xceed fitted the bill and was decided upon, with the car it was replacing being taken in part exchange. What makes Speedwell Newton Abbot such a pleasure to deal with is its people, none more so than Mark Hawkins who has helped several members of our family find the right car for them. He is always personable, patient and expert at assessing what his customers are looking for, without being pushy. The ideal car salesman in fact. The whole set up is extremely professional and trustworthy. Mark embodies this. The car is great by the way and just what we were looking for.

Dear Sir, My wife and I very recently purchased a Kia Stonic from Speedwell Exeter and we wanted to write and say that we are delighted with the car. Your Sales Executive Dominic Richards, did an excellent job. Throughout the process his professional, courteous and friendly manner made the whole experience both straighforward and stress free and nothing was too much trouble. Indeed, Dominic is a credit to your company and we would be grateful if you would pass on our comments to him. Yours Faithfully, N and JL Graham.

We purchased our first automatic car with some trepidation having always driven a manual. The service received from Raul and Dan B was exemplary. Extremely helpful, professional and knowledgeable in recognising our preferred requirements. We purchased a 2020 plate Niro. Without hesitation we would recommend Speedwell Kia - Exeter. Thank you to a great team!

From beginning to end the whole process was an excellent experience. Unlike many other dealerships, we felt at ease, unhurried, and I pressured. Steve’s natural and relaxed manner really is something he and the dealership should celebrate. He was patient, knowledgable, and attentive. Test driving the car without scrutiny is also a positive. All in all a faultless experience, and we would certainly return in the future as well as recommending the others.

Steve Peralta is a very warm and friendly sales person who was a pleasure to deal with. He spent time with my wife and I in explaining the different models of Picanto which resulted in us purchasing a vehicle that matched our needs. Steve clearly explained the finance options and the optional extras, which we purchased through Kia. Despite delivery delays, Steve kept us informed of progress. When we took delivery of the Picanto X line S Auto, Steve spent time with us explaining all the features, linked our phones to the car and generally ensured that we understood the car's controls.
We have experienced Speedwell Newton Abbot’s excellent service with our Kia Niro EV, so based on that we purchased a service plan with them for the new Picanto.
Finally, we can thoroughly recommend the excellent service we have had from Steve Peralta and Kia Speedwell Newton Abbot which we cannot fault.
