BG Motors Killarney — Kerry's Largest Used Car Dealership

BG Motors is Kerry's largest pre-owned car dealership, run from the Tralee Road in Killarney by Dealer Principal Brian Glover. In January 2022 the business was named to the All-Ireland Business Foundation's All Star list for "outstanding contribution to quality and standards in the motor industry" — and its own reviews page reads like a record of repeat customers, including buyers who've come back for a fifth car.

When was BG Motors founded?

BG Motors Limited was incorporated on 11 January 2011, and trades from Tralee Road in Killarney as "Kerry's largest pre-owned car dealership." Some business directories describe the family as having 20 years in the motor trade — a claim we haven't independently verified beyond directory copy, so we've kept this piece to the incorporation date we could confirm directly rather than repeat an unverified figure as fact.

Who runs BG Motors?

Brian Glover is Dealer Principal. Accepting the All-Ireland Business Foundation's All Star recognition in January 2022, he said: "It was a great way to finish off a busy year but none of this would have been possible without our wonderful team, customers and suppliers and we would like to thank you for your continued support." Customers across BG Motors' own reviews consistently name the same small team — John, Brian and Lorraine — a sign of a genuinely hands-on, owner-run dealership rather than a rotating sales floor.

What has BG Motors been recognised for?

In January 2022, BG Motors was named to the All-Ireland Business Foundation's All Star list for 2022, with the awarding body citing the company "in recognition of the company's outstanding contribution to quality and standards in the motor industry" and specifically recognising its "conduct in areas of trust, commitment, performance and customer centricity" — coverage confirmed via the Killarney Advertiser, the dealership's local press.

What does BG Motors specialise in?

Used cars are the core of the business — a wide range of quality used cars, commercials and 4x4s, all serviced, tested and valeted before sale, with a full car history report available. BG Motors also runs a car-sourcing service for buyers who can't find what they want in current stock, and is the local authorised reseller of Brian James Specialist Trailers.

Does BG Motors service cars, or just sell them?

Both. BG Motors runs a fully equipped workshop offering servicing — petrol, hybrid and diesel — plus NCT preparation, alongside its used car and finance business. It also buys cars for cash directly from private sellers.

What do customers say about BG Motors?

BG Motors holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating from 200 Google reviews. Its own reviews page carries genuine, named customer accounts rather than just a star average — Ian Miles from Kenmare wrote that "this is my 5th car purchased through BG Motors," while Lauren from Tralee, Nico from Co. Kerry and Barry from Cloyne, Co. Cork all singled out the same team by name for the help they got buying a car. The dealership is also a Verified Premium Dealer on Autoza, a badge only awarded once a dealer's review record clears a genuine threshold. Over 12,800 people follow BG Motors on Facebook, with a further ~1,500 on Instagram (@motors_bg).

Where is BG Motors located?

The dealership is on the Tralee Road in Killarney, Co. Kerry, V93 D1HF — close to Killarney and Farranfore, near Kerry Airport and the town's railway and bus station.
