           INTRODUCTION

Braintree Small Car Shop   is a small family company. started in 2005 following
the disposal, after over 20 years,  of our  successful, high profile, ex franchise, high street garage which I owned and operated in the south of   Essex.
offering;- Car Sales, Servicing, general repairs and Mot testing to a wide variety of private, business and trade customers. That venture was disposed of due to the ever increasing overheads, and a minor health scare prompting a change of direction, moving over into the slower lane,   setting up a more low key, less stresfull operation close to home .    

Where are we ?    

Gone is the prestigious workshop, impressive frontage and high visibility and highly EXPENSIVE site. Now I have a peasefull rural setting just outside Braintree on an industrial site utalising redundant agricultural buildings, where overheads are only a fraction of my previous business.  

We are in a village just off the A120 (about 2 miles west of Braintree Freeport Shopping Village) approximatly 20 Minutes east of M11 Stansted, or west of A12 Colchester or Chelmsford.
                          Map ref CM77 6DF.
(CALL for exact Directions     as we are not visible from the road)

Please always ring for appointment as I spend almost as much time "off site" locating stock as I do on site.   The cars are stored under cover and unfortunately not visible when we are out/closed.

                        My number is 07803 368 303

                                          I will always return your call   if I cannot answer
                  so please do not hide your number if you wish me to call you back

Our email address is .   .. mail@braintreesmallcarshop.co.uk   ...

What do we do ..?
The aim now is, with the part time help of my two sons who like me, are Mot testers and qualified mechanics (and trained at franchised dealers ) to offer genuine, good quality, budget range, low mileage small cars at very competitive prices from approximatly £500.00 up to £3000.00

Although our actual stock may be quite small , during the many years in the trade we have contacts throughout Essex and beyond. We are able to ring round to see if any af them have the car you want ,
either in stock or coming in, saving you the legwork. we are only too happy to help if we can.

We also carry out servicing and repairs and customising to most makes of car,
         ( with a particular interest in all variants of VW s ,( see BSCS playtime page   )
                   Phone for more details
 .  

Why choose us ?
We can now afford to work on  smaller  profit margins because of our minimal outgoing costs, and I can put the years of experience and contacts in the trade to good use to obtain above average quality, under average mileage, hand picked cars.  

Most of the cars we offer are bought direct from the previous owner, or are main dealer part exchanges. Unlike some so called car traders who sell cars on the net, many on the popular auction sites, (no names)   we   do not   just clean , then resell with little attention to the most important mechanical and safety components.   When back in our workshop they are checked /serviced and tested to our well proven system and any faults  rectified to a high standard before being valeted and offered for sale.similar to
the  service we provided to large independant retailers  at my previous establisment    

Most cars are given a brand new Mot on completion of sale. We have the skills and experience, bridging old and new technology, and contacts made from over 40 years in the trade to aquire and prepare what we believe to be some of the best quality, value for money vehicles available under £3000.00.

Finance..........

Due to  E.U. directives we now find it uneconomic to offer finance or insurance based warranties.
(However, we have recently  made arrangements so that if necessay we can arrange for another  dealer  who does finance " to take over" the sale although we often find that your own Bank can offer competative rates )
  Or for those who wish to pay by credit card, we can do it through Paypal, but we woul respectfully ask for our extra costs to be met yy the customer .
To counter this we select our cars very carefully,     we then check and prepair   the vehicles   to a high standard before they leave our   premises and encorage customers to check and drive the cars (within   limits allowed by law) before purchace, to make sure that   they   are content that the car is as described. We try to be accurate and truthful, and will answer any question as as honestly as we can.   We are pleased to enter discussion as to any   work   you   would like   to be carried out, before   agreeing a   final purchace price.  

Our prices do reflect the above and we can recomend   internet sites for example www.warrantyworks.co.uk   ,www. DealerDirect.co.uk   and others on the sales sites,such as   autotrader, fish4cars etc   who can still offer these finance and insurance based warranty services     direct to you, the public. However, for finance,  those with   good credit ratings usually find that their bank offers the best rates
and it is ALWAYS worth shopping around .
