Our business was founded on the principle that purchasing a used vehicle should be a transparent and positive experience. TML Cars is run by Thomas Ladyman, whose career began with practical work on a local dealership forecourt before progressing into specialist valeting. Establishing TML Valeting in 2006 allowed the business to grow independently, attracting a wide client base and developing trusted relationships with motor dealers. These partnerships led naturally into vehicle sales, which expanded significantly during changing economic conditions. In 2012, the company adopted the name TML Cars Ltd to reflect its primary focus, while retaining the same attention to detail and hands-on approach that defined its early success.

I was impressed by TML cars a few years ago when we bought a car for my Son. We recently test drove an ID3 and although this time we decided it wasn't the right car for us I couldn't be more impressed by the honesty, helpfulness, no pressure approach to selling cars.
I'd have no problem recommending TML cars to anyone.
Thank-you TML cars.

Fantastic service and aftercare - I purchased a VW ID.3 Tour in September '25 from Tom & I would recommend TML Cars to anyone. He even put the car inside for our viewing, as it was raining, and we were travelling from North Wales. He has been honest & trustworthy and he even sent me a new rear light unit to replace the one that had excess moisture in it. Thanks Tom.

Purchased a lovely VW T-Roc from Tom. The car was beautifully presented - you can tell Tom puts real care and attention to detail into each of his cars to be sold. Professional and courteous, the deal was done with the hour, and I was driving back to London in a new car. Highly recommended - if only all car dealers took this level of care in the cars they sell. Thank you Tom!

Spoke with Tom at TML about a Golf R he had for sale. He was a bit reluctant to do a distance sale which I perfectly understand as I can see it being wide open to abuse by people wanting a nice car for 2 weeks then returning it. After speaking for some time he agreed and a deal was struck. I had the car collected and all went smoothly. Car is as described and I'm realistic it is a 9 year old used car. Tom was a pleasure to deal with, carried out all work as agreed that was requested prior to sale. Thank you Tom.

Last week I bought a vehicle from TML cars, but within a few days there was a problem with Alternator, 2019 vehicle, a one off random event that could not be foreseen. I informed Tom and the warranty company. The warranty company would only agree to pay a small percentage of the cost (annoying)! I informed Tom of this and without hesitation he agreed to foot the rest of the cost, a great gesture!.
If you see a car you want at TML cars, dont hesitate, go and see Tom and buy with complete confidence
Thank you TML cars.

I recently purchased my second used BMW from TML. The first one did me proud for six years and 100,000 miles. My newer one is another really good selection by Tom. It was very low mileage, presented well and priced competitively. Tom's service is superb.
There is always a wide selection of premium vehicles - well worth a look.
