TML Cars
We established TML Cars as a business driven by genuine enthusiasm for motoring and a commitment to offering well-presented vehicles that represent true value for money. Operated by Thomas Ladyman, the company is based on the Bayford Motors forecourt in the village of Bayford, near Wincanton in Somerset. The business evolved naturally from hands-on experience, beginning with forecourt car washing and progressing into professional valeting before becoming self-employed in 2006. As demand grew and relationships with local dealers developed, vehicle sales increasingly became our primary focus, particularly as economic conditions reduced the demand for premium valeting services. In 2012, the business transitioned to TML Cars Ltd, a name that reflects our continued dedication to quality vehicles and personal service, with Thomas remaining directly involved in the preparation of every car.

We provide a broad and carefully selected range of vehicles, catering for new drivers, environmentally conscious motorists, high-performance enthusiasts, and those requiring four-wheel drive or pick-up models. Our services include in-house servicing 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, no-pressure environment, transparent advice, and the opportunity to inspect vehicles thoroughly, including underbody access where available. Our commitment to customer satisfaction has been recognised through commendations at the Auto Industry Awards, reinforcing our focus 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.

Last week I bought a vehicle from TML cars, but within a few days there was a problem with Alternator, 2019 vehicle, a one off random event that could not be foreseen. I informed Tom and the warranty company. The warranty company would only agree to pay a small percentage of the cost (annoying)! I informed Tom of this and without hesitation he agreed to foot the rest of the cost, a great gesture!.
If you see a car you want at TML cars, dont hesitate, go and see Tom and buy with complete confidence
Thank you TML cars.

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.

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.

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.

The experience of dealing with TML cars was impressive. The car was presented well with a polite & friendly, no pressure sales approach. I would highly recommend.
