The Automotive Addiction Difference

where it all starts...

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 Commitment to you...

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.

100-hour selection & preparation process

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.

Automotive Addiction is the standard that every car dealership should aspire to. A fantastic experience from start to finish—friendly, honest, helpful and fair throughout. It's not often you come across a company with nothing but five-star reviews, but having dealt with Automotive Addiction, I completely understand why. Every one of those reviews is thoroughly deserved. I just wish I could afford to buy more cars from them!

I have sold my RS3 to these guys, they are completely legitimate and very professional too. I was hesitant at the start but i checked google and trust pilot reviews and they all say the same thing. Process is very smooth and easy, if you get the right price, this is a trustworthy place to use

Great experience here, probably one of my best in terms of service and overall quality. Easy communication, straightforward purchase, knowledgeable and the cars they offer are of the highest standard I’ve seen outside of brand new (in fact I’d go as far as to say the condition is better than some new cars I’ve had given their experience in detailing). Keen eye for detail - would definitely buy from them again. Thanks.

Sold my Audi RS3 to Dhyllan, i was at first a bit apprehensive with regards to the whole process of selling my car to someone I had never met in person however Dhyllan helped me through it with his knowledge and personal touch which took away any concerns I had. Pick up service was professional and friendly at the same time. Thank you Dhyllan for all your help, I will be in touch when I decide on my next car.

I recently bought an Audi RS3 8Y in Kemora Grey from Automotive Addiction and I genuinely could not be happier with both the car and the experience. From the minute I walked through the door, I was made to feel welcome. It never felt like I was just another customer, they made me feel like part of the family. This is the experience you should be having when purchasing a car! A massive thank you to Louis, who looked after me from start to finish. He was brilliant throughout the whole process! always happy to answer questions and kept me updated every step of the way with pictures and videos of all the preparation work before handover. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail. It's honestly on another level. I had this car ceramic coated and when i went to pick it up it was presented absolutely perfectly, i genuinley thought it was a brand new car. Every little detail had clearly been thought about. The pride they take in what they do really shows! Buying a car should be an exciting experience, and Automotive Addiction absolutely delivered. I'm over the moon with my RS3 and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a quality performance car and a team that genuinely cares and know there stuff! Thanks again to Louis and everyone at Automotive Addiction. Tom.
