So We Are Confident That You Are Happy With Your New Purchase.
All customers are at different stages of the buying cycle and we respect this, so regardless if you are “just looking” or ready to put your deposit down on the car of your dreams, we will not only assist you to the best of our ability but we will do this at your pace, we won’t hurry your decision or push you for an answer, instead we will investigate the reason why you would prefer to “think about it” or “sleep on it”.
Helping you make your decision, because in our experience most customers know what they want and once you have made your decision the rest is easy.
Not purchased from us before? Don’t worry here is a list of our standards so you know what to expect:-
We check our cars to ensure tyre wear is not beyond 3mm (well within legal limit of 1.6mm) The rule is simple, 3mm & above they stay on, below 3mm and they are replaced, ensuring you many miles before the cost of replacement tyres.

Not always an easy rule to set however we will ensure that the condition of the paintwork of the car is in keeping with the age and mileage it has. Most cars will collect their fair share of stone chips, minor scuffs and light scratches however we do try our very best to remove these by machine polishing before the car is displayed if not certainly before it is collected by its new owner. We also use a very experienced Dent Removal expert for those rogue parking dings & dents. For more serious blemishes, scratches and dents we used an experienced local bodyshop to repair these to the highest standard for resale. Although we would prefer not to purchase these cars in the first place.
Some used cars that we sell will have had previous paintwork as we cannot promise that a car has been minor damage free, however we do carry out stringent HPI history checks to ensure the car has not been in a previous accident where it has become an insurance write off and then repaired.

As smoking has become less social & illegal in company cars, we find that less and less vehicles now come smelling of smoke, however we do carry out a full interior valet with wash & vac of the interior trim along with a special treatment to remove any unpleasant odours.

Most modern cars are fitted standard with alloy wheels which not only enhance the look of the car but also help with the future resale value, however there is always a downside with alloys and these normally come in the shape of kerbs and potholes. There are very few cars on the road with blemish free alloy wheels so we will have potentially carried out alloy repair and paintwork to wheels before the car is displayed, some cars have only small blemishes which we believe are acceptable given the age and mileage on the car.

Before buying in cars for our stock we carry out checks on cars including providence checks. These checks also include the service history of a car. We only retail the best condition cars with detailed service history, we will then continue this by servicing and checking the car thoroughly before collection which often includes the Government standard of MOT.
