We Don't Buy Every Car @ Revilo Automotive

It’s our Brand Specialists that make us special

We don't buy every car, but we do buy the best!

We’ve said that Revilo Automotive is special. Here’s the main reason why. Our Brand Specialists

In a nutshell, what Revilo Brand Specialists don’t know about the brands and cars they specialise in is not worth knowing. They’re like a walking A-Z of the marque. If your car is a limited edition that makes it more sought after, they’ll know it. If you’ve added touches like a Sunroof, Double spoke alloy wheels, satellite navigation, they’ll be aware of how it enhances the value. Colour can have a big influence on a vehicle’s value too. In short, valuing a car is far from a black and white issue! There’s another factor that makes our Brand Specialists special. You can talk to them. Our customers find that chatting with real people makes such a refreshing change from dealing with a computer. As well as automotive experts, they’re all ‘people people’. Reason why some customers still seek their advice long after they’ve sold their car. Now, time to meet the team …

Joe Greenwood - Sales Director

Joe has spent all his working life in the Automotive Sector. His previous appointment with Sytner Group spanned 14 years and culminated him being appointed as Group Buyer. Joe is a typical ‘petrol head’ and passionate about all things car related and is also an enthusiast of older, rare cars.
With his finger, constantly on the pulse of the market and the ups and downs of vehicle pricing, Joe has been able to lead the team into consistently offering more than other vehicle valuation platforms which is a key aim of the business along with offering the highest levels of client service. Joe points out “The motor trade is in my blood, I was the boy at school who would be reading the WhatCar magazine. If only I had spent as much time on my school work!”

Out of work, Joe enjoys being a Dad to his two small children and husband to his wife and childhood sweetheart, Melanie, having been in a relationship for over 17 years. Joe and Melanie also own a successful Play Gym, so business and client service are very much integral to their philosophy on life.

Mark McKay - Brand Specialist

Before Revilo, Mark was in sales for both Land Rover and BMW for over 13 years. Overwhelmingly, he finds that owners at this end of the market appreciate the added value that he brings to the table as a Brand Specialist. After all, how can a computer know that, say, a BMW convertible is particularly valuable in the spring? Or that a car’s colour can add £000’s to its value? Or that a 4X4 like a Range Rover comes into its own in the winter? It takes serious time in the industry to know what really matters.

And when Mark’s not busy buying cars? ‘More often than not I’m casting a fly on a river in search of trout. Although funnily enough, fly fishing is not all that different to buying premium cars. Both need exceptional knowledge and attention to detail. And whether it’s a salmon or a Series 7, it’s nice to be dealing with the premium end of the market!’

Craig Kilmartin - Brand Specialist

Craig has extensive experience with the Jaguar and Audi marques with over 12 years with Audi – both salesman and sales manager - there’s precious little he can’t tell you about either brand. Craig always enjoys talking to customers, and savours their delight when they see that he’s genuinely interested in their car.
In fact, he enjoys his work even more than his hobby – collecting vinyl 45s and LP’s. Craig states:
In this digital age, I’m delighted something like vinyl is making a comeback. As they say, fashion is temporary, style is permanent – just like classic car marques, really!’
