At TML Cars, we have built our reputation on combining practical experience with a genuine passion for the motor trade. Founded and run by Thomas Ladyman, the business operates from Bayford near Wincanton in Somerset and has grown steadily through dedication and consistency. Thomas began his career working on a local dealers forecourt, gradually developing specialist skills in valeting before establishing TML Valeting in 2006. Strong relationships with repeat clients and motor dealers led to opportunities in vehicle sales, which naturally expanded as market conditions shifted. This progression resulted in the rebranding to TML Cars Ltd in 2012, allowing us to concentrate fully on supplying quality used vehicles while maintaining meticulous preparation standards.We offer a comprehensive selection of cars designed to suit a wide range of requirements, from economical and eco-friendly models to performance vehicles and practical 44 options. Our facilities include free WiFi, in-house servicing, professional valeting, extended warranty products, and finance solutions arranged through authorised lenders. We also consider part exchanges, provide local delivery, and offer temporary insurance options for added convenience. Every interaction is guided by our commitment to honest advice, flexible support, and a customer-focused approach, ensuring each purchase is handled efficiently, transparently, and with care.

Fantastic service and aftercare - I purchased a VW ID.3 Tour in September '25 from Tom & I would recommend TML Cars to anyone. He even put the car inside for our viewing, as it was raining, and we were travelling from North Wales. He has been honest & trustworthy and he even sent me a new rear light unit to replace the one that had excess moisture in it. Thanks Tom.

Purchased a lovely VW T-Roc from Tom. The car was beautifully presented - you can tell Tom puts real care and attention to detail into each of his cars to be sold. Professional and courteous, the deal was done with the hour, and I was driving back to London in a new car. Highly recommended - if only all car dealers took this level of care in the cars they sell. Thank you Tom!

Spoke with Tom at TML about a Golf R he had for sale. He was a bit reluctant to do a distance sale which I perfectly understand as I can see it being wide open to abuse by people wanting a nice car for 2 weeks then returning it. After speaking for some time he agreed and a deal was struck. I had the car collected and all went smoothly. Car is as described and I'm realistic it is a 9 year old used car. Tom was a pleasure to deal with, carried out all work as agreed that was requested prior to sale. Thank you Tom.

Bought a lovely car from TML. The car was exactly the same as the photo on the advert. Everything on the car worked perfectly and for the first time ever I believe this car dealer was straight and honest. Test drive, good look around the car and paper work completed in about an hour. All the cars on the forecourt were immaculate. Would definitely go there again.
