Why Buy From a Family-Run Car Dealership? Your Questions Answered!

So, you're on the hunt for a new (well, new-to-you) car! But with so many options out there, from big dealerships to online sellers, where do you even begin? Here at Simon Shield Cars, a family-run business since 1996, we believe there are some real advantages to choosing a friendly, local forecourt over the big guys.

But before we dive in, let's address the elephant in the room: are you worried a family-run dealership might not have the same selection or expertise? Not a chance! We source high-quality, unique used cars. Plus, with years of experience under our belts, Simon and Caroline are passionate about cars and will use their knowledge to find the perfect fit for you.

Here are some key benefits of buying from a family-run dealership like Simon Shield Cars:

  • Personalised service: We take the time to get to know you and your needs. Forget pushy salespeople – we're here to guide you through the process comfortably, answering all your questions and making sure you leave happy.

  • Building trust: When you buy from a family business, you're buying from people who care about their reputation in the community. We prioritise honesty, transparency, and building long-term relationships with our customers.
