Your car should feel as good
as the day you bought it
There's nothing better than the feeling of jumping into a brand-new car. So why can't you have that feeling the whole time you own your car?
Actually, you can, and we can help you protect your car, maintain it, restore it, and keep it looking and smelling as fresh as the day you picked it up from the showroom.
Mission
It shouldn't be controversial to point out that car manufactures want you to buy a new car every few years.
While they make cars that are mechanically built to last, they can rely on the fact that after a few years, your car will begin to look tatty and tired.
They may also try to convince you to buy a new car because the new models are greener. But what could be more environmentally sustainable than keeping the car you have on the road for another ten years?
Our mission is to change car culture in the UK. We want to convince you that you just don't need to keep buying new cars! If you want that new car feeling, we have the expertise and tools to make it happen. Stick with the car you love and save your money.
Who we are
The boring part of the story is that Gary started the company in 1987 and was joined by Danny in 2001. But the real story begins in around 2003...
An epiphany
That eureka moment came when yet another customer came to collect a car that he had given to us to spruce up because he was selling it. He knew, quite rightly, that if it looked like new, he would get more money for it.
Like so many others before him, he changed his mind once he had seen what we had done and decided not to sell it. He'd keep it after all.
“It's crazy!” Gary said. It just doesn't make any sense spending money to make your car look like new for the stranger who is buying it. Why not keep your car looking new for the whole time you own it?
That's the point at which New Again became all about modern car restoration.
