At GBI Cars, we’re proud to be a family-run used car dealership built on trust, quality, and good humour. Our friendly team brings decades of experience in the motor trade — and we genuinely love what we do.
Every member of our team plays a vital role in ensuring your car-buying experience is smooth, transparent, and enjoyable.
Whether you’re speaking with Byron or Rob to find the right car or the best finance options, receiving expert support from Gary as he sources new stock, or admiring Garrie’s outstanding detailing work, you’ll always be welcomed with friendly, honest service.
Behind the scenes, Lina oversees preparation and remedial work, ensuring every vehicle is expertly readied for sale. Sarah keeps everything running financially, while Steve and Gill help safely collect and deliver vehicles across the UK.
Together, we’re a tight-knit, family-run team dedicated to delivering a first-class experience from the moment you enquire to long after you drive away.
Gary (Dad)
Owner
Gary co-founded GBI Cars with his son Byron, driven by a lifelong passion for cars and customer satisfaction. With over 40 years in the motor trade, Gary knows exactly what makes a great car — and a great dealership.
His main focus today is sourcing and purchasing quality used cars that meet GBI’s strict standards: low ownership, low mileage, and full service history. Once they arrive, each vehicle is carefully prepared — including paintless dent removal, professional valeting, and a 128-point AA inspection.
Usually works Monday to Friday at the moment – Lucky him!
