Offering a diverse selection of used cars tastefully displayed outside its small office building,…read morethis family-run motor dealer appears inviting and alluring upon passing, with a line of spotless hatchbacks facing out towards the high street, as if to wink at passers-by. What the passers-by don't know, however, is that behind the office and forecourt lays two additional indoor garages, home to a much broader and much more varied collection of cars. I discovered this on a recent visit to view a sporty little Toyota Celica, after selling my previous car online to a long-distance buyer. The car was priced at just under £3,000 and a member of staff took me out in it for a test drive after I'd looked round the vehicle in one of his spacious garages. The car was fantastic to drive, with superb grip and a very sporty feel. However, I disliked the staff's pushy sales banter and decided to leave it due to being unsure about the colour and condition of the interior. A week later, I spotted a similar car online for £2,250. It had a better specification, lower mileage and was in much, much better all-round condition. The staff at Boldmere Motor Company are friendly and their forecourt may be enticing, but be warned: the cars here are overpriced and you're likely to find a much better deal somewhere else.

I recently contacted Andy at Boldmere Motor Company about a VW golf he had for sale on behalf of a…read morerelative. I was a long distance buyer and only able to view the car on the internet. Andy gave me, what turned out to be, an honest appraisal of the car, and was happy for me to place a holding deposit on the car to allow me to travel to see it and agreed to have it M.O.T'd before my arrival. Upon physically seeing the car, it did not disappoint and was prepared to a high standard and drove well on test drive. My relatives requirements changed in terms of the vehicle she was looking for and I did not go ahead with the planned purchase of the VW Golf. Andy returned my deposit without any fuss and was what can only be described as a gentleman in the circumstances.

This is a independent car dealership and service centre that has been a fixture of Raddlebarn Road…read morefor many, many years. The livery on the side of the building has a quaint 1950s feel to it, which I always find rather welcoming, for some reason. They have a decent selection of cars available, which are parked out on the street during their opening hours. Their window display also has a whiteboard showing their full stock list. Their repair and MOT centre does a brisk trade. As I have a pretty old car I have trouble with it from time-to-time and I always ask the fellas there to take a look. Most of the time they simply offer advice (such as the time my wife left the car without petrol in it.....rather embarrassing!) but on the odd occasions they have done actual work on the car they have always been reasonable in their estimates and prices. Recommended!
