How the Franchise dealer route works

DS Dalgleish have a "Value My Car" page on their website with a valuation form. Their own copy on this page states that car buying services offer estimated prices online which can change depending on condition when inspected in person. For franchise part exchange, the standard route applies: agree a purchase, they value your car against it. Direct buying enquiries can be made through their contact or valuation pages.

Confirm whether a site visit or appointment is required
Check the offer validity period and any conditions
Clarify payment method and timing before committing
Ask about any deductions or inspection adjustments

When each option suits

A doorstep sale suits when

You want collection from home without travelling to a branch
The car has faults, failed MOT, is a non-runner or SORN
You need certainty of payment on the same day
You are in Hexham, the Tyne Valley or surrounding areas
You have already had a dealer valuation and want to compare
You want DVLA paperwork handled at point of collection

DS Dalgleish suits when

A well-established option for sellers in the Galashiels and Borders area who are also purchasing another vehicle from Dalgleish. Their two sites and multi-franchise status give them broad buying capacity. For Hexham sellers, Galashiels is 45 miles north and Coldstream is a longer drive. A local Sale-or-Return or doorstep buying route avoids the border crossing.

Two-year used car warranty in 2026

DS Dalgleish are currently advertising a 2-year used car warranty on their stock, which is above the standard 6 or 12 months offered by most independents. This is relevant for buyers and for sellers to understand: a dealer willing to offer a 2-year warranty needs to be confident in the cars they buy. That buying confidence translates into their assessment criteria: they need stock they can stand behind for two years, which means condition and provenance are examined carefully at the point of purchase.

Common questions

Do you collect from my home address?

Yes. We collect from your address across Hexham, the Tyne Valley and surrounding areas. No branch visit or appointment away from home is needed.

Do you buy non-runners and failed MOT vehicles?

Yes. Failed MOTs, non-runners, SORN vehicles, warning lights and cosmetic damage are all assessed. We give you a clear price before committing.

How quickly do you pay?

Payment is by bank transfer confirmed at your address in most cases. Funds are verified before we leave.

Are there admin fees or deductions?

No admin deductions on straightforward purchases. If you use our Sale-or-Return route, all terms are agreed before we start.

What paperwork do I need?

V5C logbook and one photo ID. Service history helps with valuation but is not essential. We complete the DVLA steps at collection.

What is the difference between your valuation and a dealer part exchange?

A dealer part exchange values your car as a cost to offset against a new purchase. A direct cash offer values it as a standalone transaction. The two figures can differ significantly for the same car.
