Our History

With our fingers constantly on the pulse of the used car market and the ups and downs of vehicle pricing, our teams have consistently offered more than any other vehicle valuation platforms, since our inception in 2016.

 

From our humble beginnings, our team has grown in numbers, going from strength to strength as we aim to dispel the common misconceptions of selling your vehicle through some of the leading car buying platforms. Revilo is about people, not computer programmes or databases, and as such we’re confident that with over 100 years of collective automotive experience, we can provide you with the best in customer care, and the best possible price for your vehicle. Car buying…. but done right!
