TML Cars
We founded TML Cars as a company fueled by a genuine passion for motoring and a pledge to provide well-maintained vehicles that offer genuine value for money. The company, run by Thomas Ladyman, is situated on the Bayford Motors premises in Bayford village, near Wincanton in Somerset.
The business developed organically from practical experience, starting with washing cars on the forecourt and progressing to professional valeting before becoming self-employed in 2006. As demand increased and ties with local dealers grew, vehicle sales became our main focus, especially as economic conditions led to a decrease in demand for high-end valeting services.

In 2012, the business transformed into TML Cars Ltd, a name reflecting our ongoing commitment to quality vehicles and personal service, with Thomas still directly involved in preparing every vehicle.
We offer a diverse and carefully chosen range of vehicles, catering to new drivers, environmentally aware motorists, performance enthusiasts, and those needing four-wheel drive or pickup models. Our services include in-house maintenance and valeting, extended warranty options, competitive finance packages regulated by the FCA, part-exchange facilities, temporary insurance, and local delivery.

Customers benefit from a relaxed atmosphere, transparent guidance, and the chance to thoroughly inspect vehicles, including underbody access when available. Our dedication to customer satisfaction has been acknowledged through awards at the Auto Industry Awards, reinforcing our emphasis on professionalism and trust.

I was impressed by TML cars a few years ago when we bought a car for my Son. We recently test drove an ID3 and although this time we decided it wasn't the right car for us I couldn't be more impressed by the honesty, helpfulness, no pressure approach to selling cars.

I'd have no problem recommending TML cars to anyone.

Thank-you TML cars.

Purchased a lovely VW T-Roc from Tom. The car was beautifully presented - you can tell Tom puts real care and attention to detail into each of his cars to be sold. Professional and courteous, the deal was done with the hour, and I was driving back to London in a new car. Highly recommended - if only all car dealers took this level of care in the cars they sell. Thank you Tom!

TML Cars are one of the few car garages which really do go the extra mile for you. I viewed a toyota auris which was honestly the best detailed car I have ever seen. It had been extremely well detailed, Thomas was friendly and not pushy. I left a holding deposit on car, however 2 weeks later personal circumstances changed and I could not purchase car. Thomas refunded me the holding deposit which he didn't strictly have to do. Genuine honest bloke and when I am hopefully in a position to get a new car I know where to go.

We recently purchased a car from this independent car dealership and were very impressed by the service we received. Tom could not have been more helpful from the start to finish of transaction including a good trade in value for our car.Would definitely recommend and use again.

Bought a lovely car from TML. The car was exactly the same as the photo on the advert. Everything on the car worked perfectly and for the first time ever I believe this car dealer was straight and honest. Test drive, good look around the car and paper work completed in about an hour. All the cars on the forecourt were immaculate. Would definitely go there again.

Its is always a worry when you buy a used car.
Online I saw a nice looking BMW coupe at TML
I thought for a 2008 car it cant be that good, so I went to have a look and Wow what a nice example it turned out be. Tom who runs the place is very straight forward and honest the car was very keenly priced so the deal was done.
The car is absolutely fantastic I cant believe I own it. Thanks Tom!

I would have no hesitation recommending TML Cars. I have already bought two cars from them, one for me and one for my wife, and up to now, we have had no problem with the car. TML Cars is worth the money!

I recently bought a used car from TML Cars and dealt with Tom who was a pleasure to deal with. He was happy to work with me and addressed all concerns that I had before finally deciding to make a purchase.

I came down to TML Cars just browsing for a car and Tom was very happy to help. I ended up buying a Toyota C-HR. Tom was very easy to speak to and felt comfortable to deal with, liked the experience. Thank you so much.

This dealership does what they say they will do. The car that I bought 6 months ago is still running in great condition. Will definitely be back should I need another car.

I recently purchased my second used BMW from TML. The first one did me proud for six years and 100,000 miles. My newer one is another really good selection by Tom. It was very low mileage, presented well and priced competitively. Tom's service is superb.
There is always a wide selection of premium vehicles - well worth a look.
