Driven by Trust: The Family Car Guy Story

Tucked away in a beautiful barn conversion in Berry Pomeroy, Family Car Guy is not your typical car dealership. Founded just over a year ago by Sam and Michelle, this small but passionate business is dedicated to helping local families find high-quality, affordable vehicles they can truly rely on.

Sam’s background as a luxury superyacht skipper and Michelle’s years leading tours for American high schoolers across Europe may not sound like traditional routes into the motor trade—but their shared commitment to excellent service, attention to detail, and building genuine relationships with people have become the heart of what they do today.

At Family Car Guy, every vehicle is thoroughly serviced, MOT'd and presented advisory-free, so you can drive away with confidence. Each car also comes with a comprehensive 6-month warranty, including nationwide and home-start breakdown recovery, offering complete peace of mind from the moment you turn the key.

Whether you’re looking for a spacious SUV, a reliable runaround, or a safe first car for your teenager, there’s something to suit every budget—and if it’s not on the forecourt, Sam and Michelle are happy to help you source exactly what you need. They also accept part exchanges and are known for giving fair, honest valuations.

Family Car Guy is proud to be an official TentBox partner, too. These clever roof tents can turn almost any car into a mini camper—perfect for spontaneous weekend adventures. Sam and Michelle can guide you through everything from selecting the right model to fitting it right at their office.

While they’re often out sourcing cars or helping customers, they’re always just a phone call away—and everyone is warmly welcome (just give them a ring first!).

Over the past year, Family Car Guy has met dozens of wonderful local families, and their goal remains simple: to match people with the right car, backed by genuine care and old-fashioned customer service.
