A Premium Buying Experience with Tickenham Garage Car Sales, North Somerset & Bristol
Why Buying a Car from a Dealer Is the Smarter Choice
Purchasing a car is an important investment — one that deserves care, transparency and confidence. For motorists across North Somerset and Bristol, the decision often comes down to whether to buy privately or through a reputable car dealership.
At Tickenham Garage Car Sales, we believe the difference lies not just in the vehicle itself, but in the quality of the experience that comes with it. Here’s why choosing a trusted independent car dealer in North Somerset offers lasting value and peace of mind.
1. Confidence You Can Rely On
Private car sales are typically conducted on an “as seen” basis. While this may appear cost-effective, it can expose buyers to unnecessary risk.
When purchasing from Tickenham Garage Car Sales, every vehicle is:
Carefully inspected and prepared
Supplied with a clear vehicle history
Presented to meet high professional standards
For customers across Bristol, Nailsea, Clevedon and the wider North Somerset area, this means reassurance from the moment you drive away.
2. Warranty Protection & Ongoing Support
A key benefit of buying from an established dealership is the support that continues after purchase.
Many of our vehicles include:
Access to knowledgeable after-sales support
Professional assistance should any concerns arise
This level of service is rarely available in private transactions, where responsibility typically ends at the point of sale.
3. Strong Consumer Protection
Buying from a dealer gives you important rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, ensuring your vehicle is:
Accurately described
Roadworthy
Fit for purpose
These protections simply do not apply to private sales, offering customers far less security should issues occur.
4. Expert Guidance Without Pressure
As an independent dealership serving North Somerset and Bristol, our reputation is built on trust, expertise and long-term relationships.
We pride ourselves on:
A relaxed, professional approach
Honest, informed advice
Helping you select a vehicle that genuinely suits your lifestyle and needs
Our aim is to make the process refined, transparent and enjoyable.
5. Flexible Buying Options
Unlike private sellers, independent dealers are able to offer additional convenience, including:
Part exchange options
Assistance with paperwork and ownership transfer
Guidance on finance solutions (where available)
This creates a smooth, streamlined buying experience from start to finish.
6. Vehicles Prepared to a Superior Standard
Every car at Tickenham Garage Car Sales is prepared with care and attention, typically including:
Mechanical checks
MOT preparation where required
Professional valeting
Road testing prior to sale
This commitment ensures our customers in Bristol and North Somerset receive vehicles they can trust.
7. A Local Independent Dealership You Can Trust
