"Most car sourcing companies are driven by commission chasing
salesmen who have little knowledge of bodywork or engineering. Car Source
is different, we are not just salesmen, we are experts in automotive
engineering, paint and bodyshop management
and restoration. We are passionate car enthusiasts. We
care about the car and the customer, not simply our sales
figures." MILES TURNER,
DESIGNER OF THE CAR SOURCE CONCEPT
As
a true car enthusiast, Miles has devoted his life to cars. His knowledge,
experience and passion falling across the board but his personal affection
captivated by Porsche and German engineered brands.
He
has owned and managed restoration and bodyshops, bringing him invaluable
knowlege within every aspect of many different types of new and classic
cars. His experience of restoration and spraying means he can easily
identify cars that have had all types of bodywork done.
His twenty five years within the industry include spending time
trackside watching all types of racing and on the track perfecting his skills in
his personal collection. In this time Miles has created an impressive portfolio
of friends, collegues and contacts which have led to learning much more from
European experts and, on a more glamourous level, yearly trips to Monaco for the
Grand Prix where he advises photographers where and who to shoot and networking
with drivers.
Miles was inspired to create his concept Car Source after
experiencing many situations in his bodyshop. He found he was dealing with
clients who had bought cars from companies and were now having to fork out on
expensive repairs and corrections due to cars being bought by salesmen who had
little understanding, or knowledge, of car mechanics and quality of
bodywork.
He
researched the car sourcing market and realised it was a frightening area.
Many companies hired salesmen to sit on the phone calling dealer to dealer,
buying cars they hadn't even seen. It baffled Miles how people with no
experiance of mechanics or bodywork of a car could reliably purchase
one. Their reliability was based on another person, probably equally
as inexperienced, saying the car was sound.
Drawing from his knowledge, education, experiance and friends
within the industry Miles designed the Car Source concept.
