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.

On 14th August 2017 we opened our Second Used Car Showroom @ the Pottery Garage in Poole, expanding our product range and the location to be able to view any vehicle in stock. 
Our website clearly shows which site the vehicle is at, but if its easier to view at the other one then just let us know and we will swop it over !

A separate business but one that moved with us from Osmington in 2009 when we relocated to the former Dorchester Ford site on Weymouth Avenue just next to Tesco.

Our New Used Car Site in Poole is situated at the long established Pottery Service Station - Again, should you require any assistance with any aspect of your vehicle we are here to help.

We hope that this has given you a little insight into L of a Car and look forward to speaking and dealing with you soon
