Prior to his alleged retirement from business in 2014, our CEO, Lee Collins, had spent most of his working life in the automotive industry, a passion itself fuelled by his love for motor vehicles in his personal life.

Having previously owned and run a successful independent Land Rover retailer in East Lancashire for many years, before going on to make the bold purchase of a Jaguar retailer based in Bolton in 2013. At the time, the dealership in question was ranked 95th out of 103 dealerships in the UK for Customer Satisfaction based on the surveys administered and collated by Jaguar as the manufacturer.

Testing a theory; a theory that with the right support, the right culture, and the right ethos, the dealership’s fortunes could be turned around, the acquisition was a logical addition for Revilo, as it presented the Group with fantastic challenge due to its previous standing, and a key opportunity for development in respect of potential growth within the product line.

It took Lee, a few members of his trusted team, and the sign-up of all of the existing dealership staff, just 6 weeks to go from 95th to 1st in the manufacturer ratings for Customer Satisfaction.

With a passion for cars and a demonstrable reputation for selling them in an exceptional client-focused way, it’s completely understandable that The Revilo Group would produce a company that would specialise in such a field.

It was through a personal transaction and the sale of a vehicle that there was an introduction to Joe Greenwood. An easy sale, but one that resonated with Lee for all the right reasons; customer care and an experience that himself would have been proud of in his previous environment. It wasn’t until looking to sell another vehicle that Joe was asked personally – why wasn’t he doing this for himself? After much coaxing and negotiation, Lee convinced Joe that there was a vehicle purchasing opportunity to be had and a gap in the market for premium buying, and so Revilo Automotive™ was born.

We buy cars, but seeing as many companies advertise this exact service, just how are Revilo Automotive™ different to our competitors? Well, we believe we don’t HAVE any competitors. Why? Because we don’t buy EVERY car. At Revilo, we specialise in the purchase of premium, high performance or high specification vehicles. We buy quality, not quantity, and we specialise in the best, not bulk.

If you have a vehicle you are looking to sell, then Revilo will not only value your car as an individual asset, but we’ll guarantee you the best price, and ensure that this exact money is in your account within minutes of the transaction being completed, which is at the point when one of our drivers collects the car from you at the comfort of your own home or workplace. At Revilo Automotive™ we pride ourselves on the fact that we’ll treat you as well as you treated your car.

Car buying…. but done right!
