How we check our cars
Every car we sell is checked by ONEFIX, our own workshop on the same site — not by a third party we pay to say yes. These are the 34 points — the same on every car, whatever its price, so the car you collect is one our own technicians have been over and are happy to put our name to.

Ready to drive away
Anything that needs doing is done by ONEFIX, on the same site, before the car is handed over — that rule is in our system, not a promise. Every car comes with its photographs, its full spec and its MOT history on its page, and once it is yours, ONEFIX is still next door for its servicing and MOTs.
