Why Weissach
We got where we are by working hard, by pulling together, by putting our clients first and by being honest in everything we do.
Early on in the life of our business, it became apparent that we were doing more than selling cars and providing after sales service. It was much, much bigger than that. We realized that what we had here was all about building relationships, and treating people how we like to be treated. At heart, we are car lovers and not much different than our clients. We like spending time with them, and always encourage our customers to stop in for a coffee and a chat.
Over the years, we've seen the same clients continue to come back to us for cars, for service and for parts. We've learned to treat them right, each and every time they visit. We perform above and beyond what a client expects of us. We are perfectionists.

Stuart Davidson
Group After Sales Director
"The most important thing we can offer a client is our complete dedication to their satisfaction. We would rather under-promise and over-deliver, than leave a client suspecting they may have received less than our very best."
