Within the FG Barnes Group, we are committed to providing you a safe and secure service so you can get yourself into a new car this year. Please keep reading to see our new way of working after the lockdown.
We are constantly monitoring Government guidelines, and although our showrooms have now re-opened, we will be running a Click & Collect service too.
If you opt for our Click & Collect service, your new vehicle agreement will be arranged with you over the telephone by a salesperson. All relevant paperwork will need to be completed, and payment must be made either in full or through a finance agreement before your car is ready for you to collect. Once this has been finalised, one of our sales executives will be in touch to arrange collection at a time and day that suits you.
In order to keep our businesses and customers safe, appointments must be made for any collection, and where possible, must be attended by just one person. The appointment will be placed in our handover area on each site outside our showroom.
When you arrive, your car will be waiting for you to the handover area. All cars ready for collection will have been fully valeted and sanitised, and when you’re ready, the keys for your new car will be sanitised before being handed over to you in an envelope.
Throughout your collection, our team members will maintain the recommended 2m social distancing guidelines.
Terms and conditions apply, please discuss these with our team when making your deal over the phone.
If you would prefer a used car, you can view the full range across each of our sites here.
F G Barnes & Sons Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F G Barnes & Sons Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required
