Exceptional Service & Honest Dealership
UPDATE AS OF 11/12/2025.
I want to add a follow-up review to recognise the exceptional after-sales service I received from Tim Hayward Car Sales. After my purchase, the team went above and beyond to resolve an unexpected issue with the vehicle. They arranged recovery from Liverpool to Cardiff, provided a courtesy car, and carried out extensive work including a brand-new DPF, new EGR valve, vacuum line repairs, a new pressure converter, a new DPF sensor, and even had BMW perform a full diagnostic check and software update.
All of this was done professionally and at no cost to me. Their communication, honesty, and commitment to customer satisfaction are truly rare in the used-car market.
I am extremely pleased with the outcome, and the car now drives perfectly. I will certainly return to them when it’s time for my next BMW. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Service & Honest Dealership – Highly Recommended!
I recently financed a 5 series bimmer (rare edition) from Tim Hayward Car Sales, and I cannot recommend them enough! Despite the busiest time of the year (New Year holidays), Tristan made the entire process swift and hassle-free with their friendly and professional approach.
What truly sets them apart is their outstanding after-sales support. The air conditioning was due to be fixed, and they went above and beyond by fitting a brand-new compressor and condenser. When I went to pick up the car, it unfortunately went limp. Despite having no legal obligation, they provided me with a courtesy car (not a cheap Ford or KIA - but a Coupe Mercedes) —a huge help since I had travelled from Liverpool.
The repair took around three weeks, during which they replaced multiple parts and covered all labor costs. As a gesture of goodwill, they even extended my warranty for an additional month. I have never encountered such genuine, honest, and gentlemanly dealers in my life, especially when buying a used car.
I would 100x100 recommend Tim Hayward Car Sales to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable dealership. Thank you, Tim, Tristan and the whole crew, for your exceptional service! 🚗✨
Genuine review
Genuine review, just picked up my e46 from these guys and can honestly say i have got myself an amazing motor. Didnt stop smiling all the way back to Brum. Great doing business with these guys . Would highly recommend . Cheers Tristan !
From making initial contact to…
From making initial contact to collecting the car, I cannot fault the service we had from Tristan. I cannot recommend this company too highly. Thank you Tristan.
Good, Honest company
Had a really good chat with Tristan about a BMW they had in.
He was very honest about the car and understood that I personally wouldn't be able to go look at it before purchasing. The car was as described and I would happily deal with him again.
Genuine review, genuine company
It’s so difficult when buying a car, knowing if a company is legit, whether you’re going to get ripped off etc. This is a 100% genuine review. We bought a Jeep from Tim Hayward car sales and I would definitely recommend them. Very helpful. Offered to drop off. Had a temperamental issue with sun roof due to lack of use, no quibble, collected the Jeep, resolved the issue and dropped it back. We dealt with Tristan throughout who is definitely an asset to the company. Buy with confidence.
What a lovely allround experience for…
What a lovely allround experience for buying a car. Tristan was really helpful and no question went unanswered. Peter was just a joy when he delivered the car, he too helped with all other questions. Oh, and by the way, the car is a corker !!!!
Many thanks guys
Good old fashioned high quality service,first class
Just picked up my V50 from Tristan. Couple of little issues that he is dealing with, but so far service received has been second to none. I plagued him with call after call before purchase, but still polite, helpful and pleasant every time. I at present have no hesitation in recommending Tristan and Tim Hayward Car Sales to anyone, and i have worked in the motor trade for over 20 years. Very, very good service and a high quality product.
Highly recommended
Super easy and friendly to deal with. Quick and helpful response to my questions. I was picked up at station to collect the car. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. Car was exactly as described and as per video. All paper work spot on. A very good buying experience and car is fantastic (a 63 reg BMW). Highly recommended.

Volvo XC60
From the start I was impressed with how much care is taken to deliver cars to a high standard.
My new car had a new timing belt, service, MoT and valet.
The team really made my purchase journey a joy and I recommend them to anyone buying. Fair price, good PX and brilliant service.
Very happy with the BMW
Very happy with the BMW . Right from the first phone call ever thing went very well and friendly. Graham delivered the car to me told me to take my time looking over it and going for a long test run .the registration was done for me over the phone. I will never go anywhere else. Thank you Tim and Graham.

No pressure sales and some great cars
No pressure sales and some great cars! For me, a dealer shows their true colours when there are issues and on this front I cannot recommend Tim and Tristan enough. They went out of their way to resolve a warranty issue, both collecting and delivering the car so no hassle to myself. Would definitely buy from these again! - Thank you, Gareth (Volvo XC-60)
Buying a BMW 330d
Thanks Tim & Tristan for all your help buying our 330d. Home safe after 250 miles and the car was faultless. Great friendly service throughout from you both which we really appreciated.
Excellent car buying experience
I had a very easy and straightforward experience when buying a car through them. They offer more interesting cars and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
Second hand car for our daughter
Buying a car second hand can be daunting, following some home search, we just stumbled on Tim Hayward website who just had the perfect car all around.
Tristan was honest, friendly, funny, "such a strong Welsh accent" loved it.. but yet very professional.. Thank you so much for making the whole experience smooth and painless.
The stress free way to buy a car.
The whole experience of dealing with Tristan at Tim Hayward was seamless from start to finish. Personal circumstances meant I could not visit to see the car of my choice, therefore, they came to me with no obligation to buy. Graham who delivered the car allowed me as much time as I wanted for the test drive. Absolutely no pressure at any time during the process. Needless to say the car was perfect and just what I wanted. Outstanding from start to finish.
Great car
Great car, could not find a better example, great service and advice from Tristan, collected today and we are very happy - quite liked the Merc too but not allowed any more !!
