Roadside (Garages) Kia wins The Motor Ombudsman’s National Garage Star Award for 2022

Roadside (Garages) Kia, the family-owned and longestablished dealership in Coleraine, Northern Ireland, has been named the National Garage Star in The Motor Ombudsman’s 2022 Star Awards.

After claiming the Garage Star Award for Northern Ireland, the car retailer was chosen by judges from this year’s eight regional Garage Star winners to receive the top award, in addition to £1,000 in vouchers.

The business was praised for their ongoing relationship with customers, their dedication to sourcing new vehicles and reducing the lead time to as short as possible, whilst also going above and beyond to deliver excellent customer service.

Around 1,500 customers nominated Motor Ombudsman-accredited businesses and individual team members in this year’s Star Awards, the highest ever volume of entries since the contest launched in 2020 .

David Boyd, Director of Roadside (Garages) Kia, said: “We are thrilled to have won both the trophy for Northern Ireland, and this year’s coveted National Garage Star Award. We faced very stiff competition in the final few, so it was a nice surprise to have been chosen by the judges and emerge with the top prize.”

David added: “Our team is immensely proud of our success, and our fast-expanding trophy cabinet is testimony to our long-standing ethos of going beyond what would ordinarily be expected of us, whilst adopting an individual and personal approach so that our customers always feel like a valued member of the Roadside family. We are very grateful to those who put our name forward in this year’s contest, and we look forward to welcoming them back to our showroom as The Motor Ombudsman’s National Garage Star for 2022.”
