How we started

Two lads from the main dealers.

Sam was a technician and then in sales at Volkswagen and Skoda. Matt worked parts and sales at Skoda. Between us that’s over 30 years in the trade, most of it in main dealer workshops and showrooms where things are done by the book.

We started GT in Retford in 2020 and moved to Orgreave in Sheffield as the business grew.

Today the workshop is the bigger half of what we do. Most of the cars through it belong to people across Sheffield who never bought a car from us. They just want it fixed properly at a fair price.

The other half is sales: fewer cars, chosen one at a time, that we’re happy to put our name to.

How we buy our cars

If it’s not right, we don’t buy it.

We go and see it

We collect every car ourselves and look it over before money changes hands. Plenty get turned down at this stage.

Our workshop preps it

It goes through our own workshop and gets a service before it’s handed over. No car leaves here without one.

You buy how you like

Come and see it, or reserve and buy from home with delivery. Every car comes with 6 months’ warranty.
