Threeways Garage

What Threeways Garage does

Threeways Garage is a privately held multi-franchise automotive retailer headquartered on a 5-acre site at junction 24 of the A55 in Abergele, Conwy, North Wales, UK. Established in 1979, the company has grown from a vehicle servicing operation into a five-franchise new car dealer representing Hyundai, Fiat, Suzuki, MG, and Isuzu, alongside used vehicle sales, MOT and servicing, parts, finance brokerage (FCA-authorized via ITC Compliance Limited), and Motability scheme participation. The business is part of the Threeways Group, a multi-entity corporate structure that also encompasses Threeways Motorhomes, Threeways Service Station (Abergele) Limited, Easy Clean Car Centre Limited, Threeways Holdings Limited, and Threeways Subway Limited, providing adjacent-service diversification around the core dealership. Managing Director Mr C Cunnah leads the group, with HR Officer Peter Cooper handling people operations.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market model through both a physical showroom (open seven days a week) and an increasingly digital storefront that supports full online vehicle purchase, finance applications, virtual appointments, and valuation tools. Revenue derives from five streams: new vehicle sales (one-time franchise transactions), used vehicle sales (multi-manufacturer inventory priced from c.£500 to over £50,000), aftersales servicing and MOT (recurring professional services), finance brokerage (transaction-fee credit introduction), and Motability scheme sales. Customer segments include individual retail consumers (primary), local business fleet customers, and Motability-eligible disabled customers, all served from a single site serving the Abergele, Llandudno, Rhyl, and Prestatyn catchments. The technology posture is traditional: no proprietary platform, no public API, no AI/ML capabilities, with the core differentiator being 45+ years of local brand reputation, multi-franchise breadth under one roof, and physical-site accessibility.

Broad incumbents

• Lookers: Established UK multi-franchise new and used car retailer with manufacturer-affiliated servicing and finance. Comparable model, listed group with national scale versus Threeways' regional focus.
• Inchcape UK: Global automotive distributor and retailer operating UK multi-brand retail for premium and volume franchises including new, used and aftersales. Comparable operating model at much larger scale.
• Arnold Clark: UK's largest independently owned car retailer operating multi-brand new and used vehicle showrooms with servicing, parts and finance across hundreds of sites. Comparable to Threeways as a multi-franchise dealer; differs by national scale.
• Marshall Motor Group: Major UK multi-franchise dealer group representing volume and premium brands with full aftersales. Comparable offering but significantly larger footprint than Threeways.

Direct peers

• Vertu Motors: AIM-listed UK multi-franchise car dealer group operating volume-brand showrooms with aftersales and finance broker services. Closely comparable business model to Threeways' multi-brand new and used franchise format.
• Motorpoint: UK multi-channel used car retailer offering online search, click-and-collect and finance alongside physical sites. Comparable to Threeways' combined online-plus-showroom used car operation with a used-only focus.

Others

• Cox Automotive UK: Provider of dealer solutions including Manheim remarketing, Autotrader UK listings and dealer software. Adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct retail competitor to Threeways, but materially shapes the used-car competitive environment.

Emerging players

• Carwow: Online car marketplace aggregating dealer offers directly to consumers. An emerging channel that competes with traditional dealers like Threeways for new-car leads and price transparency rather than operating physical showrooms.

Regional players

• Ron Skinner & Sons: Independent family-owned multi-franchise car dealer based in South Wales, representing several volume brands. Direct comparability on independent, family-owned multi-brand dealership structure regional to Wales.
• Sinclair Group: Welsh-origin multi-franchise dealer group representing volume and premium brands across South and Mid Wales. Closest regional competitor to Threeways with overlapping franchise and geographic mix.
