History

The Bald Guy aka Ashley Manek, MD broombroom.comAshley Manek (the bald guy) founded Broom Broom Ltd in 2001. Having traded stockmarket futures for several years, he needed a change before the stress claimed all his hair - oops, too late! From the outset he wanted to share his passion for cars with others and give them honest advice. By remaining independent of any particular manufacturer, dealer, or finance house broombroom has positioned itself as the consumers' champion, and acts as an impartial car consultant to individuals and businesses whatever their finance or car requirements.

The exceptional customer service demonstrated by the broombroom team resulted in the company becoming the first online broker ever to obtain Trading Standards Approval in 2002 to much acclaim in the Press. Since then, mostly through repeat business and recommendation, the company has won over 1100 clients who now turn to the website as their first port of call for advice. In particular they like the fact that they have one point of contact they can trust throughout their lives for all their motoring needs no matter which brand they drive, and whichever way they choose to pay for it. Many have even contributed their feedback to the site to encourage others to use "the bald guy" and his team the next time they change their car.

What do we do for you?

Finance (New and used vehicles)

Unlike most dealers and brokers, we aren't tied to a particular finance house. So you can be sure our advice is always impartial.

  • Wherever you choose to buy your new/used car or commercial, we can research the best finance packages for you and/or your business.
  • If you have already been offered a finance deal elsewhere, we'll be happy to analyse it free of charge for and let you know the pros and cons. If you have a good deal already we'll be up front and tell you. If we think there is a better deal out there, we'll find it and report back to you.

Buying (Any make of car and vans)

As well as researching the best funding methods, we've already helped over 1100 clients find the best deals on new and nearly new cars. Do want us to do the same for you? Here's what we can offer:

  • Research and advice into alternative new or used cars, and report with comparisons.
  • Cost analysis of depreciation, maintenance, insurance, fuel economy, and emissions.
  • Nationwide Search and Negotiation of a brand new car on your behalf, arranging finance if required, and organising delivery. [99% of cars we arrange are delivered free of charge. The supplying dealer will normally deliver by driver free within 200 miles of the dealership. So if you live in Scotland or Cornwall or want the car delivered by transporter there may be an additional charge, but we always negotiate to keep these as low as possible.]
  • Nationwide Search and Negotiation of a car up to 3 years old on your behalf, with Vehicle History Check, Finance check, and organising delivery.

  • Email details of your car to a minimum of 200+ professional trade buyers specialising in your particular brand.
  • Follow-up and negotiate on your behalf to obtain the best offer.

With so may clients already on our books we often receive requests for help and advice on many motoring matters such as car rental, insurance, tyres, and repairs. We've also had a lot of feedback from our customers about good services that they have used.
