We go beyond the industry standard 100-200 point checks, test drive, service history, and HPI checks by thoroughly inspecting for model-specific issues, mechanical health, and cosmetic condition. We use tools like a sun gun for light analysis and an electronic paint depth gauge to assess the vehicle’s paintwork. We look for any signs of previous filler work or panel replacements and if it does we immediately disqualify the vehicle for sale.
At Automotive Addiction, all cars designated for sale must come with complete service and ownership records. As we say, “a car is only as good as its owner,” making ownership history a key factor in our selection process. Unlike other companies, we do not buy from auctions or trade outlets. Instead, we source only the most exquisite, privately-owned examples that will appeal to the true automotive connoisseur or collector.
For more insight of our inspection process, please watch our in-depth video.
Our aim is to go above and beyond industry standards. With total transparency, we make sure we find the right vehicle for you, and instil confidence at every stage of your journey. You can see for yourself that the difference is in the details.
The Automotive Addiction Difference. Our 100 Hour Preparation Process is a meticulous journey to perfection for EVERY vehicle that leaves our doors.
It begins with Selection & Inspection, where our careful acquisition forms the foundation of our business. Next, the Maintenance & Mechanical Health Check ensures each vehicle undergoes an extensive 120+ point check by top-tier tuning partners. Our 8-Hour Pre-Detail & Purification process includes a deep cleanse, preparing the vehicle for paint correction. The 40 Hour Paint Correction Detail involves multi-stage machine polishing in our state-of-the-art detailing studio’s. Finally, the Final Inspection & Photography under 3,000 watts of LED lighting guarantees every detail meets our standards. The vehicles are then placed in Storage & Presentation in our clinically-clean showrooms, maintaining their pristine condition for clients.

EXCELLENT Based on 294 reviews Ash holland2025-02-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Automotive Addiction is by far the place to purchase your next car from! Hands down! Dhyllan and his whole Team are awsome, the whole experience from the first email of interest, to going to view the car and then picking it up after the in house detail and extras, was phenomenal! I thought the car was good at viewing but when collecting the car the detailing and eye to perfect lion was night and day. I spent some time talking to Dhyllan himself and Louis via whatsapp or on the phone, they helped with every question and made the whole experience pleasant, and they are the home of enhausiasts and definitely the perfectionists! I would definitely recommend Automotive Addiction to anyone! And glad to have come across Dhyllan and his team!

They even washed my car will viewing a superb mk4 r32 !If your in the market for a true immaculate super car these are the guys ! -20 stars from me ! the best ! Mike Winlow Matt Paget2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding!! I have known Dhyllan for around 15years now and his passion and enthusiasm for cars really is second to none. It was a no brainer to purchase my first RS3 from the team at Automotive Addiction. Upon arrival I was given a thorough run through of all the features on the car as well as a tour of their rather impressive garage. You will not find a better team out there. Bhavdeep Thankey2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Automotive Addiction are very helpful and respond super fast to emails and questions. My personal experience with Louis in particular was his enthusiasm towards helping me with some important decisions for my own car. I didn’t contact him for sales rather advice on my own build and he was an outstanding example off great customer service. I would recommend them simply based off the customer service received. I hope to make the trip and visit them in the near future. Elis Lawrence2025-01-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nothing but amazing things to say about these guys 👍👍 From my initial enquiry - communication, trust and honestly were top notch. They have a customer in me for life and I will spread the word wherever I can. If you need to buy or sell - this is the place! Daniel Saunders2025-01-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Automotive Addiction is for true petrol heads. After purchasing my car from an another dealer, I took out their ceramic coating package. This I was not impressed with and it didn't meet the standard I was expecting what so ever. I took my BMW M135i into Automotive Addiction for a ceramic coating. After dropping my car off I was updated about every stage that they had completed on my car. They even set up a WhatsApp group to send me updates and videos of the work being done on my car. It was also nice to feel confident in leaving my car somewhere, I knew my car was not going to get abused whilst they had it. They treated my car like it was their own. Upon handover the results were even better than imagined. I cannot rate their work higher. They are true perfectionists. I would recommend them with no hesitation! That Boy2024-12-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So my journey started a few months ago looking online for an RS3 and sifting through the usual standard examples. I widened my search and came across Automotive Addiction. I reached out to Dhyllan late one evening not expecting a response until the following day. To my surprise Dhyllan replied soon after and we talked about Rs3’s. I expressed that I had a “wishlist” specification requirement which I knew would be a miracle if it materialised. Call it good timing or meant to be as they say, Dhyllan had exactly what I wanted to a T. The whole process was made easy and I was kept fully informed along the way with videos of preparation and progress. Collection day was the best as my children did not know about the car and when the reveal was done their expressions and delight was worth it alone! The whole team and I even mean the unsung hero’s in the background who make the magic happen deserve credit. Thanks Automotive 10/10. A Barclay2024-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top company from start to finish very attentive and professional, I felt at ease as everything was done remotely with an efficient delivery. Bentley Roofing and Building2024-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say, nothing but perfection!
