JMC Motors & Brian Hill Motors

What JMC Motors & Brian Hill Motors does

JMC Motors & Brian Hill Motors is an independent pre-owned vehicle retailer and service centre operating from a single showroom at 68 Bury New Road, Heywood, Bury, Lancashire (OL10 4RF), trading under the JMC Motors and Brian Hill Motors brand identities. Founded in 2014 and incorporated as JMC Motors Ltd (Company No. 8974082), the business serves individual retail buyers across the Greater Manchester catchment and ships vehicles UK-wide. The current inventory spans 58+ units across 18+ car marques and a used van line, with prices ranging from approximately £2,450 to over £20,000.

The firm's operating technology is built on the Click Dealer platform, which provides the consumer-facing website and dealer management system, and is supplemented by Evolution Funding's ClickCreditCheck tool for soft-search consumer credit qualification. The business is authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 716052) to broker regulated consumer credit agreements in connection with vehicle sales.

Revenue is generated across four principal streams: margin on used vehicle sales (including part-exchange), commission on brokered finance, commission on extended warranty products (offered up to 36 months), and labour/parts revenue from in-house servicing and repairs. Ancillary revenue is captured via a car-sourcing service and UK-wide delivery, and lead generation is concentrated on Autotrader, where the firm is highly reviewed under both trading names.

Direct peers

• Big Motoring World: One of the UK's largest used car supermarket chains selling a wide mix of brands with finance and warranty add-ons. Closest comparable in business model to JMC—multi-brand used vehicle retail with F&I attach—though operating at much greater scale across multiple sites.
• Motorpoint: UK used car supermarket group with large forecourts, online sales, and finance/warranty offerings. Directly comparable model—nearly-new and used multi-brand retail with strong digital channel and F&I monetization—operated at national scale.
• CarShop (Sytner Group): UK used car retail specialist owned by Sytner Group, selling multi-brand used vehicles with finance and part-exchange services. Similar used-car-only positioning with F&I attach, though larger and more centralized.

Emerging players

• Cinch: Online-first UK used car retailer offering home delivery, finance, and warranties with a no-haggle pricing approach comparable to JMC's. Represents the digital-native direction the used car retail category is heading.

Broad incumbents

• Marshall Motor Group: UK franchised dealer group offering new and used vehicles with finance and aftersales. Comparable on used car retail, finance broker activity, and aftersales add-ons but operating with a broader franchise footprint.
• Inchcape UK: Global automotive distributor and retailer with used vehicle, finance, and aftersales services in the UK. Comparable on the F&I-enabled vehicle retail model but at materially larger scale and with OEM franchise relationships.
• Bristol Street Motors: Vertu Motors-owned automotive retailer with new and used vehicle sales, finance, servicing, and warranties. Comparable on used car and F&I retail mechanics within a larger group structure.
• Arnold Clark: Largest independent car retailer in the UK with extensive used car, new car, and aftersales operations. Comparable on used car retail mechanics but operates at vastly greater scale and broader service portfolio.
• Evans Halshaw: UK-wide automotive retailer offering new and used cars with finance, servicing, and part-exchange. Overlaps with JMC on the used car and F&I components but is a broader incumbent serving many segments.

Others

• Auto Trader: UK's dominant online vehicle marketplace where JMC lists inventory as 'Brian Hill Motors'. Not a competitor but a key channel partner and ecosystem participant for used vehicle discovery and leads.
