About Avonside Auto

We're a new, small, family-run business in Leamington Spa, and we work by appointment rather than from a forecourt. That keeps our overheads low, which is reflected in our prices. As a new business, our focus is on building a reputation with satisfied customers, so we take our time with every buyer and can be flexible on viewings, including evenings and weekends. If you're within 100 miles, we can bring the car to you for a viewing and test drive.

Avonside Auto Ltd is a registered company (no. 17351122) and VAT registered (GB 525114622), so you can check us out before you travel. We're happy to send a walkaround video or extra photos on request. Call 01926 754176 or 07405 778682.

Behind the business are 21 years' experience in a leading British automotive company and an MSc in Automotive Engineering. Each vehicle is chosen and prepared personally to a standard we would be proud to hand to a family member.

How we prepare every vehicle

  • Selection and assessment: we select vehicles for their provenance, condition and suitability for discerning buyers. Our approach is deliberate rather than volume-driven: fewer cars, each held to exacting standards.
  • Thorough inspection and road test: every car receives a multi-point mechanical and cosmetic inspection carried out to engineering standards. Each vehicle is road-tested for a minimum of 100 miles before the final inspection to ensure real-world performance and reliability.
  • History and documentation: we verify mileage, MOT history and keeper records using independent checks, and compile a clear history pack so you can buy with confidence.
  • Preparation and presentation: before photography and display, every car receives a meticulous valet and any necessary reconditioning. The result is a vehicle that looks and feels exceptional when you come to view it.
  • Warranty and aftercare: all vehicles are supplied with a minimum six-month mechanical and electrical warranty as standard, unless the vehicle remains covered by a manufacturer warranty (vehicles under three years old), in which case the manufacturer's warranty applies. We also provide straightforward aftercare guidance and support.

If you would like a detailed history or to discuss a specific car, we're always happy to talk you through the work carried out and the stories behind our vehicles.
