The year was 1967 and my grandfather ‘Pops’ had taken his first steps into the world of cars, starting exactly where anyone would in Cardiff at the time, City Road.
Beginning his journey as a mechanic and working his way through the ranks, he became owner of his own showroom located in the heart of the road of a thousand cars. Called ‘General Motors’, he seemed to think using the name of a popular American manufacturer at the time might generate some attention, and it certainly did.
He would work tirelessly day and night trying his upmost to be the best, not the biggest, not the cheapest, but the best.
It was his passion, and everyone who knew him could agree on one thing, he achieved his goal.
My journey began in much of the same way, I started as a Saturday boy cleaning cars at a local dealership where I endeavoured to learn the trade, I tried to get involved in all aspects of the business learning skills such as cleaning, photography, selling and the art of buying a good car.
Working alongside my studies I decided this was the path for me and so, at age just 14, I bought my first car from an advertisement I had seen in a newsagent window. I sold it from the house in a matter of days and instantly I was hooked, it sparked a passion which I still carry on to this day. I’ve spent the following years working harder and harder to try and grow my own business Birchwood Motors into what it is today and like Pops, I don’t desire to be the biggest, I don’t desire to be the cheapest, but I DO desire to be the best.
We are open six days a week and appointments can be arranged for daytimes or evenings to suit your personal requirements.
At Birchwood, we believe in doing our part to reduce the impact our vehicles have on the environment. One way we do this is by pledging to plant a tree for every car we sell.
