We have 20 retailers overall, as well as our Used Car Centres. With almost 50 years of automotive heritage, we are proud of the experience and reputation we have gained for delivering quality products and services that our customers can trust. All of this is underpinned with the value and convenience expected from a modern retailer.

 

We always strive to deliver the right vehicle, to the right place, at the right time and at the right price for you the customer. We aim to provide a relaxed environment in which to consider a new or used car or van purchase or to have an existing car serviced or repaired. Our technical expertise has been honed over many years and our customers can trust the quality of advice and workmanship we deliver whether in Sales or Service.




We work by the ethos keeping you 'on the road' by providing expert advice, quality service and value for money. We proudly represent ten of the UK's most popular automotive brands, aiming to deliver the highest quality of service underpinned with a culture of respect for our customers, suppliers and employees. The current brands we work with are Peugeot, Citroen, DS, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Honda, MG and Suzuki. This wide brand selection allows us to buy and sell over 7000 cars and commercial vehicles each year and ensure our stock is constantly updated to reflect new model releases and used car demands. Keeping our customers spoilt for choice!

 

All this enables us to offer a wealth of products and services, all delivered through convenient locations and aimed at satisfying all motoring needs. We see ourselves not only as automotive retailers but also an integral part of the local community. We actively support numerous clubs, societies and charities in the areas surrounding our sites. We hope the contributions we make as a business and the monies raised by individuals working within our retailers can make a real difference to these good causes and strengthen our local communities as a whole.

Reputation Reviews
  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
