Our Story
Twenty-one years of getting it right
HJ Motors started out in 2004 with three cars, a single forecourt and one stubborn conviction: choosing a used car should be a pleasure, never an ordeal. That conviction still shapes every decision we make.
Who We Are
A business grown on returning faces
The majority of our cars go to people who've bought from us before — or to their relatives, mates and workmates. That's no coincidence. It happens because we pick every car as though it were for our own driveway, prepare it as though we were keeping it, and price it as though you could read our invoice over our shoulder.
We remain family-owned and family-run to this day. The person who takes your first call, the technician who checks over your next car and the voice on the aftersales line all work under the same roof — ours. No call centres, no sales scripts, no arm-twisting.
More than 4,800 cars on, the promise is unchanged: if it isn't good enough for our family, it will never be offered to yours.
What We Stand For
The principles inside every deal
People Before Targets
Everyone here earns a salary, not commission. The only result we chase is you walking away pleased — whether that includes a car or not.
Inspections With Teeth
Our own workshop runs 168 checks before any car wins a spot in our stock. Roughly one candidate in four fails to make the cut.
Nothing Hidden
Prices checked against the market, one fixed £200 admin fee, delivery at £0.30 per mile — and the car's full known history on the table before you decide. No surprises waiting.
Aftercare That Shows Up
No less than 12 months' warranty on each car, repair centres nationwide and a direct line to people who genuinely know your vehicle.
Our Preparation Standard
The work done before a car ever goes live
- History before anything — HPI check, mileage confirmation and service record validation before we commit to buying.
- 168 checks in the workshop — brakes, suspension, electronics, diagnostic scans and a proper road test.
- Servicing & MOT — serviced whenever it's due; a new 12-month MOT if fewer than six months were left.
- Detailed to perfection — a complete valet inside and out, so the day it arrives feels like a new-car day.
Judge us from your own drive
Pick your car online and it arrives at your door within 5–14 days. You then have a full 14 days to test and examine it — and if it isn't right, it goes back for a complete refund.
