The NU17 Reg is coming...

Ah February, the anticipation of the Spring and Summer soon to come is rife in the air, but here at Drayton Motors we're all equally as excited about something else that happens every March too... The new registration!


There's nothing quite like that first day of March, spotting who has picked up their brand new car that day and seeing the first 17 registration on the road. It's a buzz that you may only feel if you have an interest in cars but it's one that never fails to present itself to us come this time of year. I personally have been into cars from a young age, I can still remember September 2010 and eagerly seeing what the number plates would change to (I was only 17 so wasn't yet working in a dealership!) and even during my year off to have a baby, I still relished that first day of a new plate change to spot a brand new car.


Undoubtedly it's one of our busiest times of the year here at Drayton Motors, but that hasn't stopped us from thinking up a little incentive if anyone is still undecided about whether or not to order their brand new Kia! £17 for your first three services. No, that isn't a typo, we really are offering three years worth of services for just £17 for this week only. The offer ends next Tuesday on the 28th February so call us on 01205 820408 quickly to book a test drive and reserve this offer for yourself.



The offer is for New 17 Registrations only (meaning you can't collect your car until at least the 1st March, although that's only a week away) but it is available on every new car order! What's more it's running alongside our existing offers such as the All New Rio for £139 per month or a low 4.9% APR across many of our models.

To take advantage of this fantastic offer and be a part of this exciting time, either pop down to see us here in Swineshead, or give us a call on 01205 820408 to speak to one of our Sales Consultants!

Test Driving the All New Kia Rio with Lincs FM!

On a bleary Friday in January we were invited over to the Lincs FM HQ in Lincoln to show them the new and improved Kia Rio. After hours of getting the perfect shot, seeing John Marshall in some rather skimpy shorts and rerunning lines to get them just right, we're rather chuffed with the end result! Scroll down to find out more about the All New Kia Rio.


The All-New Kia Rio offers an impressive specification even from entry level, starting from £11,995 it comes equipped with Bluetooth, Hill-Start Assist Control and Steering Wheel Mounted Controls all as standard. Moving up to the level "2" (the one featured in the video), you gain Alloy Wheels, a 5" colour display and even a reversing camera! A top-of-the-range Level 3 boasts larger, 16" alloy wheels, automatic air-con, leather upholstery, a 7" touchscreen sat nav plus heated front seats and steering wheel and rain sensing front wipers, what more could you need?! There's a selection of 7 different colours to choose from and of course they all come with Kia's 7 year/100,000 mile warranty as standard.

Kia, as always, are offering a range of petrol and diesel engines too, ranging from 76bhp right up to 118bhp when you purchase their First Edition Model. They can come in automatic or manual meaning that you'll be positively spoilt for choice.

The design itself features Kia's signature tiger-nose grille and has the new U-Shaped LED Signature daytime running lights to really catch people's eye when you're out and about! Personally, I think that the upgrade in design is subtle but effective. I've heard a few comments that it looks exactly the same but I tend to disagree once you've really looked at the car. It's bigger, for starters, making it a practical option for small families without having to go up to a Cee'd-type car just to fit everything in. It also feels really safe, which isn't surprising with it's 5* Euro NCap rating, compared to others in it's class it feels sturdier, more substantial and an all-round better option than many others of a similar size.

Watch our Lincs FM test drive here, and see for yourself how the All New Kia Rio stands out from the rest...

It's our 4th Birthday!



Four years ago today (Feb 15th, 2013) We took over the ownership of Drayton Motors. A lot has happened since then, let's have a look and see..


Site expansion

We've expanded the site by a massive 50%! We now have over 100 used cars, showing a huge selection of used Kia alongside a wide range of other makes and models. This, together with our two showrooms containing brand new Kia cars means Drayton Motors customers now have even more choice.


Drayton Motors have a huge choice of new and used cars
More used cars to the left, too!
General Manager Darren Bradford and the team have focussed strongly on customer satisfaction and keeping the family like culture, which has resulted in great success. 

Darren says: "Sales have grown by over 300%, which drove the need for site expansion. This success is firstly due to our friendly team, who are focussed on each individual area of the business ensuring that all customers get the service that they require and deserve. Secondly, being part of the Wilson & Co Group gives us big buying power resulting in savings being passed back to our customers". 

Familiar Faces

High staff retention has contributed hugely to the exceptional service we offer at Drayton Motors. Gareth Grasham, General Sales Manager comments: "Thanks to our friendly family atmosphere, you can be assured of seeing the same friendly faces every time you visit us. Our relaxed environment is a great place to be for customers and staff. We are very professional and just as important, friendly! We're always looking to improve, everyone works hard on customer focus in all our departments".

Customers


Some of our wonderful customers collecting their new car at Drayton Motors


Of course our four years in business, our growth and our success wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for our customers.

We like to treat our customers like part of the family and always look to go that extra mile to make buying and owning a car what it should be- a hugely pleasant experience! Thank you very much, each and every one of you. Here's to the next four years!
