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

Southern Motor Company suits when

A practical option for everyday car sellers in Galashiels or Tweedbank. For Hexham sellers, the 45-mile drive to Tweedbank is significant. A local doorstep collection achieves the same outcome without the journey.

The Tweedbank and Galashiels used car market

Tweedbank and Galashiels represent the largest urban concentration in the Scottish Borders, with the Borders Railway providing a commuter link to Edinburgh since 2015. This connection changed the local car market: commuter demand for reliable, economic cars increased as more people needed a vehicle to reach Tweedbank station. Southern Motor Company's stock of practical, mainstream used cars reflects this market. For sellers with a practical, economic car, the Borders market is a genuine secondary buyer pool beyond the Hexham and Tyne Valley area.

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.
