Meet the Owner

My name’s Joe Beeston, and I have a confession to make — I’m allergic to car traders. Yes, you heard that right… the car trader who’s allergic to car traders.

In all my years of buying cars, I’ve only ever bought two from traders (a Vauxhall Vectra and a Porsche 911, if you were wondering).

Why? Because I’ve rarely seen what value most of them actually add. Too often, it’s inflated prices, a dismissive attitude toward buyers’ questions, and an obsession with tyre shine.

So, when I decided to enter the trade myself, I made two promises:

1️⃣ Every car I sell must have genuine value and improvement added before it reaches its next owner.

2️⃣ I will never, ever use tyre shine.

In practice, this means every car from BEEST Automotive undergoes a thorough inspection and retail preparation before being offered for sale.

✅ Extended road testing on every vehicle

✅ New cambelts fitted where there’s no proof of recent replacement

✅ Bodywork perfected using our trusted PDR and SMART repair partners

✅ Any missing or broken interior trim fixed or replaced

✅ New mats fitted if existing ones are worn

✅ A fresh MOT at the point of sale for total peace of mind

✅ An oil and filter service unless we have evidence it’s been done within the last 3–6 months

We’ve also partnered with Autoguard Warranties, allowing us to offer excellent coverage on qualifying vehicles — in many cases, a premium warranty is included, sometimes for as long as 36 months. Each vehicle listing clearly shows what’s included.

Finally, because we only stock a carefully selected limited range of vehicles, we also offer a vehicle sourcing service. If you’re after something specific, we can use our experience, attention to detail, and trusted trade contacts to find your next car.
