Gravells, a name synonymous with quality and outstanding service, has been a trusted part of the automotive landscape since its founding in the picturesque town of Kidwelly in 1932 by Tom Gravell MBE. On March 1, 1954, Gravells became the UK's first Renault dealership, reflecting our long-standing partnership with this iconic brand. Over the decades, we've continued to grow and adapt, always prioritising the needs of our customers. In 2007, we expanded our offerings by introducing Kia to our Kidwelly location. Since then, we've established Kia dealerships in Narberth, Swansea, Bridgend, Abergavenny, and Hereford, bringing the same commitment to excellence to these communities.
