A day in our bodyshop - most people had no idea this went on behind the scenes 🔧

Every car that comes through gets properly assessed before it goes anywhere near the forecourt. If the paintwork isn’t right or something needs attention, it gets sorted here first.

We stopped buying diesels. Here’s the honest reason why ⛽

DPF issues, EGR valve problems, expensive repairs on cars that mainly do short journeys. Add in falling demand and a diesel ban on the way - it just stopped making sense. We stock petrol, hybrid and electric. Cars that are going to be good for the people who buy them.

The biggest misconceptions about electric cars in 2026 - answered ⚡

A lot of people still think they’re expensive to buy or only practical if you’ve got a driveway. Used electric cars have come down significantly in price and in a lot of cases are actually cheaper to buy second hand than an equivalent petrol or diesel.

Save this and send it to someone who’s still on the fence 💰

The one thing most people forget to check when buying a used electric car 🔍

Battery health tells you how much of the original capacity is left. Anything above 80% is solid. Below that and the real-world range takes a hit. Every electric car that comes through our prep centre gets checked before it goes on the forecourt - so you know exactly what you’re getting. Swipe through for the full breakdown.

Any questions about a specific car, just message us ⚡

The truth about electric car range anxiety that nobody talks about ⚡

A lot of people worry about running out of charge - and it’s a completely understandable concern. But the average person in the UK drives around 20 miles a day, and most electric cars on our forecourt have a real-world range of well over 200 miles. Charge it overnight like your phone and you’ll stop thinking about it pretty quickly.

Save this before you write off going electric 🚗

So what is Birchwood Protect and what does it actually cover? 👇

Engine, gearbox, clutch, suspension, brakes are all covered. Electrical faults, warning lights, anything that stops working? Also all covered. Parts and labour both included. And the bit people like most… you can spread the cost at 0% interest through Payment Assist. No big upfront payment, nothing added on top. If something goes wrong after you’ve bought, you ring us. Not a call centre, not a third party. Us.

Dealer vs private seller - here’s the honest comparison 👇

Consumer rights, warranty cover, finance options, preparation standards. Buying privately can feel like a saving until something goes wrong and there’s nobody to call.
