What Makes Carbase Different?

There are so many car dealerships around these days, it can be hard to know who you can trust. More and more are popping up, including online-only options, and the choice isn't getting any easier. That's why here at Carbase, we like to keep things simple and transparent for our customers.

Founded in 2003, we're a family-run business that continues to work hard to treat our customers with fairness, trust and transparency. We're a recognised premier car dealership in the Bristol area, known for our high quality used cars and vans, and our excellent customer service. Part of this service is supporting our customers to allow them to purchase the way they want, whether that's completely online or instore, or half online and half instore - whatever makes life simpler. So, when you're looking for your next used vehicle, consider visiting a Carbase showroom or browse our collection online.

 

 

Expertise and knowledge

Our reputation often precedes us thanks to the many customers who recommend us to their friends and family or anyone who will listen!

We listen to your needs and expectations, helping you find the perfect car for you and your situation.

Award-winning service

We've worked very hard to be where we are today, and we're ever so thankful for the trust our customers put in us and our expertise. Our customers aren't the only ones to recognise our hard work either, in 2020 and 2021 we were delighted to accept several awards including:
