Our Services

Vehicle Inspection & Report

All our vehicles are thoroughly inspected prior to sale.
A 100-point check-sheet is completed, covering functional operation of all components and features, together with a full mechanical inspection and report.  A copy of this check-sheet is provided to the buyer.

Warranty

Most of our vehicles are available with a comprehensive vehicle warranty supplied through Handler Protect – one of the best established and most respected vehicle warranty providers with a 4.3/5 Trustpilot score.  They are also accredited by the Motor Ombudsman in the event of any disputes.

Many buyers do not want to take out a warranty, and so we don’t include the cost of a warranty within the price of a car.  However, for those buyers who prefer the added security and peace-of-mind that a warranty brings, we are happy to make them available at very attractive prices!

The price of the warranty cover available is indicated on the individual car details.  There’s no excess, and work can be carried out at any VaT registered garage – so you don’t have to bring your car back to Stroud in the unlikely event of any problem!

Handler Protect are unusual in the warranty market – in that there is only one level of cover available (“Gold”) – but there are a range of additional features that can be added on or deleted, a range of policy lengths, and various levels of cover which can be applied.  Inevitably, the higher the level of cover, the longer the policy, or the higher the rate of labour reimbursement covered, the higher the premium.

We always recommend a level of cover that we feel reflects an appropriate balance between the age and mileage of the sales vehicle and the premium cost.  But if your view of that is different to ours, then we can always look to improve or reduce the level of cover, with a commensurate adjustment to the policy cost.

Test Drives

We are delighted to offer full accompanied test drive facilities.  Please contact us on 07917-234897 to make arrangements to test drive any of the vehicles offered.

We have full trade insurance and trade registration plates to cover you legally and sensibly during any test drive!

Part Exchange Policy

Reg Barton Cars is proud to offer vehicles for sale at prices well below high street dealer levels.  We do not inflate the “screen price” of our cars in order to offer higher trade-in valuations.  Accordingly, we will be pleased to offer a fair market trade price for any part exchange vehicles.  In this way, your “cost to change” will always be competitive – and you always have the option to sell your current car privately should you so desire.

I’m pleased to consider any vehicle for part exchange, although please note that firm valuations and offers cannot be made without seeing the vehicle.

Please also note that all vehicles proposed for part-exchange will be Experian Data Checked (like HPI) for mileage accuracy, outstanding finance, and accident history – and that I do not buy cars recorded on the Insurance Total Loss database (Cat B/C/D/F etc)

Finance

We are currently applying for registration under the Financial Services Act in order to offer finance packages to purchasers.  However, until this is in place, purchasers will need to obtain finance themselves.
