A Family Run Business with a combined 80 Years in the Motor Industry, the team at L of a Car feel they have an idea on what a customer purchasing their next used or new car is expecting from their local car garage.

A Bit About Us...

All working for the Peugeot Main Dealer for numerous years and being used to the high expectations that Manufacturers demand, we strive to give each customer the excellent service they want but in a much more relaxed environment.

Establishing L of a Car at the former Osmington Garage site in July 2008, Phil and Carl started business with a handful of cars and the willingness to build a reputation to be proud of.

In 2009 Richard (Carl's Dad) joined us after being made redundant from his job of 37 years to help with General Maintenance and later to take over the Valeting, ensuring every vehicle is prepared and kept to a high standard.

In October 2010, Alistair left the main dealer to complete the team bringing with him his additional contacts and experience to help grow L of a Car in Dorchester.
