About Us

SVM Automotive Ltd is an independent dealership proudly based in Bournemouth, Dorset, along the beautiful south coast. The business was founded in 2023 by Jonathan, who started with just a £1,000 investment and a passion for quality cars—working from his driveway with a single vehicle. Thanks to his dedication and drive, SVM Automotive has grown rapidly and now operates from a stunning location featuring a polytunnel and open forecourt space capable of displaying up to 50 vehicles.

With over a decade of experience in the motor trade, Jonathan has built the business around trust, transparency, and a genuine love for cars. His commitment to sourcing only the best examples, paired with a customer-first mindset, has helped SVM Automotive earn a reputation for quality and service.

We offer a diverse selection of handpicked used vehicles across various makes, models, and price points to meet the needs of all kinds of drivers. Each car is carefully sourced from private sellers or trusted dealer networks and must meet our high standards—if it’s not good enough for Jonathan to own, it won’t be offered for sale.

At SVM Automotive, we believe in a relaxed, pressure-free experience. You won’t find any pushy sales tactics—just honest advice from a team that truly cares. We let the quality of our cars do the talking.

Our services include Nationwide Delivery, Extended Warranties, Finance Options with Trusted Partners, Vehicle Sourcing, Customisation, Part Exchange, and Sale or Return. Every car is given a comprehensive health check by a trusted independent workshop before being advertised. Any required servicing, repairs, or part replacements are completed to ensure each vehicle is in top condition. We also provide a long MOT (unless otherwise stated) and a clear HPI report for your peace of mind.

What sets us apart is our attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. From our carefully presented cars to the glowing feedback from happy customers, everything we do is driven by a genuine passion for the trade.
