A manually reviewed UK classifieds hub from Bob's Mechanical Repairs for cars, bikes, parts and garage-related listings.
A marketplace run by a garage
Cars, vans, parts and tools listed by people who actually have them, on a site run by a working mechanic. The point of difference is straightforward: a mechanic reads the listings, and vehicles with an MOT history worth knowing about have that history shown rather than hidden.
It is not a national auction site. It is a smaller, cleaner place to buy and sell where the obvious nonsense gets removed.
Buying sensibly
Always run the registration through a free MOT history check before you travel. The sequence of mileages and repeated advisories tells you more about a car than any advert. For anything expensive, the £19.99 full vehicle check adds the paid provenance side — outstanding finance, write-off category and stolen markers.
View in daylight, cold-start the engine yourself, and never hand over money for a car you have not sat in. If the seller will not let you do those three things, walk away.
Selling
Good photographs and an honest description sell a vehicle faster than a low price. Say what is wrong with it — every buyer finds out anyway, and admitting the advisory is what makes the rest of your advert believable.
Include the registration so buyers can check the MOT history themselves. Sellers who hide the plate look like they have a reason to.
