The above companies are Appointed Representatives of Sytner Group Limited, which is authorised and regulated by the FCA for Insurance Distribution activities, under FRN 310540.

The Financial Conduct Authority is the independent watchdog that regulates financial services. Should you require further support to assist you in understanding our products and services please let us know. All finance and insurance products are optional.
The dealership (“we”) can only introduce you to the insurance products listed below. They are each provided by a single provider. We do not undertake a ‘whole of the market’ analysis for any of these products and we will introduce you to these products on a non-advised sale basis. This means we are not acting on your behalf and we are not providing you with any advice, recommendations, or undivided loyalty. The insurance products available are: -
*Not all manufacturer partners we work with provide the above. Should you require further details, including provider information, this is available upon request.
Where a Manufacturer Extended Warranty is available, we will complete an insurance suitability assessment on the basis of information provided by you (the customer). This is referred to as the statement of demands and needs and is designed to help you make an informed decision about the insurance. We will receive commission from the Insurer which is a percentage of the total premium paid, with the exception of Porsche Cars, where we do not receive a commission.
Short term motor insurance (eg. Free Drive Away Motor Insurance) - we will provide details for you to contact the provider only. You should discuss your needs and eligibility for this product directly with them. We do not receive any commission. In the event you purchase an annual policy direct from the Insurer, they may pay us a commission (either a flat fee or a percentage of the annual insurance premium).
We are a credit broker and not a lender. We are not an independent financial advisor, and we act in our own interests in respect of arranging finance. We do not act on your behalf. In legal terms, this means we provide neither disinterested advice nor undivided loyalty. We are not your agent nor your fiduciary.
We do not source the whole market and can only provide you with limited options when introducing you to the lenders we work with (details can be provided upon request). No advice or recommendations will be made, and you must decide whether the finance product you choose is right for you.
With the exception of Mercedes-Benz and Volvo New Cars (see below) We operate with two lenders, a preferred lender and a secondary lender, both of whom we have a pre-existing relationship with. Once we determine that our preferred lender can provide suitable products to assist you with your vehicle purchase, we will introduce you to that lender. If that lender refuses to grant credit, then we can propose it to our second provider. In the event both lenders choose not to provide credit, we will refer you to a broker with whom we have a pre-existing relationship with to attempt to source credit for you. Note however, the available terms from this broker may well be inferior to the two lenders we initially introduced you to.
New (and some Young Used) Cars: MINI When the vehicle is a New MINI, and in some cases when the vehicle is a young Used MINI;
New Cars: Mercedes-Benz Cars For new cars we can only introduce you to Mercedes Benz Financial Services (MBFS) as they are the sole finance provider chosen by Mercedes-Benz Cars (MBC). In the event MBFS choose not to provide credit for your new car purchase, we (the dealership) are not able to introduce you to another lender (this is the policy set by MBC). In this event, please discuss your vehicle purchasing options with a sales team within the dealership or directly with MBFS (the lender).
New Cars: Volvo For new cars we can only introduce you to Volvo Cars Financial Services UK (VCFSUK) as they are the sole finance provider for Volvo new cars. We do not receive commission from VCFSUK. In the event VCFSUK choose not to provide credit for your new car purchase, we (the dealership) are not able to introduce you to another lender. In this event, please discuss your vehicle purchasing options with a sales colleague or directly with VCFSUK (the lender).
We do not charge you a fee for an introduction to the lender, if you avail of our Used car finance, we will receive a commission from the lenders we work with (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow). The lenders we work with pay commission at different rates. Some lenders may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing.
We will provide you with details of any commission before you enter into the agreement and ask you to consent to its payment. If you are not happy with the commission amount or structure you can choose not to consent and not to proceed with the transaction. The commission paid to us is included in the cost of your finance. These arrangements are negotiated with the lender in advance and we are unable to alter the interest rate (or any other item included in the total charge for credit).
By providing us with your credit details, you will be giving us authority to submit a credit application on your behalf to our credit provider(s), who will record a search on your credit file. We will only pass your details onto a subsequent credit provider if the initial application to the first credit provider is not successful. In this event, we will use a maximum of four credit providers and therefore, no more than four credit searches will be registered.
