Morning Mark. Arrived home to Scotland safely and car drove perfect . I have one happy wife she is delighted with the car. Even people passing my drive have complimented me in the car as it really suits the magnetic grey.it was worth the journey to deal with you as you were very pleasant to deal with.The cars condition was exactly as you described it and really was brand new having only 21 miles on the clock with a great saving on a new car especially with the number of extras added to it . The tank of fuel was also a nice touch as I have never had that before when purchasing a car .I will happily recommend you to anybody I know who is looking for a quality car ,as the cars seen at your garage all appeared to be in very good condition. Thanks again Sandy.Sandy Cruden

I have had my car repaired and serviced at this garage for over 10 years . The work has always been thorough and professional ,and the customer service second to none . I recently asked the dealer principal to source a Focus ST with a particular spec .He spent time discussing what I wanted ,where he obtained his cars from and how long this might take .The car he obtained was low mileage ,the colour I wanted and outstanding in every respect .I can thoroughly recommend W.S.Kilbourn & son to anyone wanting prompt ,friendly and professional work carried out ,and if you are thinking of changing your Ford ,why take a chance elsewhere when you can get the very best here.Paul G Outstanding customer service.

I had been looking for a nice Range Rover Autobiography for a while when i saw one on autotrader at Kilbourns. I made intital contact via email and got a promt response from Mark. We subsequently spoke on the phone and I found him helpful and accomadating. As I lived some distnace away I felt I had to trust what I was being told before the journey. I was reassured enoigh to make the trip. I had a good part exchange valuation, which was honoured, and the vehicle I came to see was immaculatley presnted. The dealership was smart and clean...and complied with COVID-19 requirements! I was treated as a valued customer and the service was seamless. An especially nice touch was a gift of local dressed crab thats I put in the Rangie's fridge and enjoyed the following day.! I can wholeheartedly recommend Kilbourn's as a quality, trustworthy and proffesional trader. Although I do live on the other side of the country I would travel there again in future. I'm very pleased.Gary D. Jul 26 Range Rover Autobiography
