About us

A Small Team,
And That’s The Point

MP Auto Group is an independent sports and performance car dealer in Shrewsbury. Every car is bought, prepared and handed over by the same three people, which is why our reviews tend to use their names rather than ours.

How we work

Bought One At A Time

We are not a supermarket, and stock is deliberately small. Cars are picked individually on history, spec and condition, and if one will not pass our own inspection we do not buy it. That is easier to say than to do, and it is the reason we turn down more cars than we take.

Everything then goes through the same five steps in our own unit rather than at a third party: sourcing, a full pre-delivery inspection, a maintenance check with the service history verified, a proper machine valet, and paintwork enhancement. Nothing reaches the forecourt until all five are signed off.

After the handover we are still the people you deal with. Warranty claims, a coating top-up, a detail a year later, or just a question about the car. That continuity is most of what people mean when they say they would buy from us again.

Our Reviews

I recently sold my car to them; the service was excellent. The guys came to me, and everything went quickly and without any issues. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a new car or wanting to sell their own. Thanks again, guys!

MP Auto Group offered me near the private asking price for my car, far more than regular dealerships would get close to. They came over and checked it out same day after providing an estimated offer, gave it a fair evaluation and we agreed on an amount within the original estimation that was offered. They collected the car there and then, the smoothest sale I've experienced and extremely fair. It's obvious the team care about their cars and ensuring that they can be perfect for the next owner, glad it's in good hands!

I recently bought a car from MP Auto Group and couldn't be happier with the experience. They were quick to respond to any questions, really helpful when it came to sorting out a few bits, and made the whole process smooth and straightforward from start to finish.

Didn't end up purchasing a car from Max as it wasn't the right fit for me, but he's the best dealer I have dealt with, super knowledgable and friendly would definitely deal with him again

I purchased a 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 from Max at MP Auto Group and I couldn’t have been happier with the overall experience. Max genuinely went the extra mile with the preparation of the car and with the additional requests I had. He arranged four new matching Michelin Cup 2 N1 tyres, organised the 111-point inspection with Porsche Centre Chester and even managed to bring the appointment forward. He also arranged the Porsche Approved Warranty and made sure everything I asked for was dealt with professionally and efficiently. The car was prepared to an excellent standard and exactly as I expected when I collected it. What impressed me just as much was the after-sales care — Max continued to help after the purchase and made sure everything was properly sorted. Overall, a very professional but also personal buying experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Max and MP Auto Group to anyone looking for a quality sports or performance car.

I recently bought a C63 from MP Auto Group and I couldn't fault Max at all. The viewing process was easy with no pressure and the car was very well presented. After sales communication was also very good and the little things the car needed were addressed immediately and at my convenience which was much appreciated. I would definitely buy from here again!
- Joe Bridges
Great service from start to finish. Organised pick up which was fantastic and made the whole process easier. Couldn't fault the sale in anyway and would highly recommend them to anyone. 10/10

I recently purchased an Abarth from MP Auto Group and I couldn’t fault the service. Communication was constant, clear and reassuring. They were happy to accommodate me in coming to view the car many times and with answering any questions that I had. As this was the first car I have purchased, I was slightly anxious with the process but these feelings were quickly relieved as Max made me feel so comfortable. Now I am the proud over of an Abarth and I’m loving it! I would 100% recommend MP Auto Group to anyone I know! Thank you Max and the MP team!

Excellent service - Max was really friendly and helpful, didn’t try to knock me down on price. I will definitely be using them again in the future. Would highly recommend.
