About us

Three generations on one forecourt.

Graham Ashworth sold his first car from a rented yard on Kirkstall Road in 1998. Today his daughter runs sales, his grandson runs the workshop, and the yard has become a covered showroom with around 52 cars.

The Kirkstall Motor Company forecourt

How we buy

We turn down more cars than we buy.

Most of our stock comes from part exchanges and private sellers within 20 miles of Leeds. Every car is history checked before we make an offer, then inspected in our own workshop before it goes on sale. If it is not a car we would put a family member in, it goes to auction, not on the forecourt.

The workshop at Kirkstall Motor Company

The workshop

Our own bay, our own standards.

Two ramps, a DVSA approved MOT bay and three technicians. It is where every car is prepared, and it is open to the public for servicing and MOTs after you have bought, so the people who checked the car are the ones who keep it running.
