MEET OUR SPONSORS - Brady's Kia & Skoda, Cavan

Brady’s is a family run business with a long-standing history in County Cavan, having been at the heart of the community for generations.

While they look forward to opening their new Kia showroom in the near future, the team is seeing positive sales figures across both its Kia and Skoda ranges. Both brands are market leaders among the top five selling manufacturers in Ireland, and that popularity is reflected in sales locally.

Skoda sales have met yearly targets already and, having taken on the Kia brand in April of last year, sales figures are already positive.

A “core element” of Brady’s business ethos is community involvement, and General Manger Seamus Reilly told the Celt they are “proud” to be sponsoring the Community Group of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Sport categories in this year’s Cavan Community & Sport Awards. In addition, Brady’s has also supported local football clubs including Ballinagh, Denn, Butlersbridge, Ballyhaise, Lavey, Cavan Gaels, and Drumalee.

“Community and family is at the core of everything we do here,” Seamus emphasises.

Loyalty is a two-way street at Brady’s; the dealership has a loyal customer base who are met with helpful and friendly service. The garage has supplied vehicles for generations of customers across Cavan, Monaghan, Meath, and beyond.

Seamus adds how customer satisfaction is something the team of around thirty staff members “take great pride in” and they are equally as proud to bring Kia back to Cavan.

Big range of vehicles

To suit any age, lifestyle and driving style, Brady’s have a full range of brand new and used cars to suit all demographics. Diesel, petrol, fully electric and hybrid, manual and automatic cars sit on the showgrounds waiting for a test drive.

Customers thinking of purchasing their next vehicle from Brady’s will receive expert knowledge from the team, who will find a car to suit every taste and lifestyle.

Sales Manager Barry Sheridan provides details on deals on offer for their ‘262’ Skoda range. Those opting for their hire purchase (HP) finance option can do so at a rate of 0% for up to 48 months; while personal contract plans (PCPs) are offered at a rate of 0% over 24 and 36 months.

“Skoda is the third best selling brand in the country,” Barry explains, and there are plenty of customers coming through the doors at Brady’s.

“Sales are flying,” reports Barry. He encourages those who are looking for a new car to come and take a test drive and chat to some of their team members.

They have a huge range of cars in stock from the more dynamic and comfortable five-seater Skoda Fabia, which boasts a spacious and sleek interior; to the stylish seven-seater Skoda Kodiaq with generous amounts of space.

The Kodiaq is a luxurious ride for family or friend road trips and boasts plenty of smart features, and everything in between. “Every model is in stock for test driving,” the Ballinagh man assures, while they also take trade-ins of any make or model.

EV range

Meanwhile, Kia Sales Executive Jason Scully said enquiries have been abundant for the brand. The effect of the recent fuel crisis did show in demand from customers, with “a lot” asking about their EV range. While they also have every type of vehicle in stock, their selection of fully electric vehicles is proving popular with impressive driving ranges up to 550km.

He has found the Kia Sportage is the “most popular” among customers to date, which is not surprising with its sporty appearance, spacious interior and impressive performance; while the new Kia EV5 has generated a “good few” sales despite only being on the market for a short while.

The SUV is designed for families with comfortable head, shoulder and leg room, while its sleek exterior design instantly catches the eye. Meanwhile, the brand new EV2, EV4 and EV6 come with a 0% finance offer.

Meanwhile, ‘262’ customers can also receive a €500 SuperValu gift card with their purchase, as well as a free home charger supplied by Energia, a €3,000 trade-in booster for EV4 and EV6 models and a double SuperValu voucher for those trading in a Kia vehicle.

Keep an eye out for launch events and special offers upon opening the new Kia showroom.

Dealer Principal Tomás Brady concluded by thanking their loyal customer base and staff members at Brady’s, and looks forward to meeting more people coming through their brand new showroom door in the future.

“We love what we do, it’s amazing the characters you meet everyday,” he describes.

He believes “yesterday’s kids are tomorrow’s customers”, which is a testament to their history in looking after generations of customers through the years.
