A Grateful Client & Kwc Fan
My Sister had passed away, unexpectedly after a very short illness, and her funeral was to be held in December, a long way away in the north midlands. Not the best time of year for a woman to drive alone, with the probability of bad weather and short dark days, coupled with shock and sadness. My problem was solved from the first initial telephone contact with K Watson Cars, and their calm professionalism dealt immediately with all my requirements for dates and times of travel.
​
​Collection was to the minute with an immaculate car, and a most comfortable journey to Solihull arriving exactly as promised. My return journey was arranged for four days later and an advance text from Mr Watson confirmed his arrival time, again exactly as promised, and I was brought safely home to Poole. Mr. Watson's driving was exemplary and his manner at all times extremely charming and courteous. I was safe, comfortable and stress free, and will not hesitate to re-book and recommend in future. My sincere thanks.
