German Marques & Future Classic
Specialists
Dealer-trained expertise. Independent judgement. Technician-led sourcing and curated vehicle sales.
Main dealer standards without the corporate approach.
Quality over quantity. Always.
Built on reputation
and repeat clientele.
Tommy's Motor Co. was established by Tom Pinkney following his apprenticeship and qualification with Volkswagen, later expanding his expertise as a Mercedes-Benz trained technician.
This foundation within manufacturer environments shaped the standards we work to today - correct parts, correct processes, and attention to detail.
What began as a specialist focus on German performance models has evolved into a broader modern classic and German marque offering, with an emphasis on preservation, preventative maintenance and thoughtful upgrades.
"We are not a volume garage. We are a specialist workshop built on reputation and repeat clientele."

Not a keyboard exercise.
Vehicle Sourcing
“Our approach is different.”
With over 10 years' experience in the motor trade, every vehicle is assessed from a technical standpoint, not just a commercial one. We look beyond presentation and specification - evaluating mechanical condition, service patterns and known model-specific weaknesses.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
“Confidence before commitment.”
Buying a performance or modern classic vehicle requires more than a visual appraisal and service book review. Our inspections are structured to identify mechanical condition, underlying faults, known model-specific weaknesses and potential future liabilities.
Clients receive clear, objective feedback to support informed decision-making - protecting both investment and ownership experience.
Consultation by appointment only
Subtle where it should be.
Sharper where it matters.
Modern performance vehicles are capable of significantly more than factory defaults often suggest. Through specialist coding, OEM+ retrofits and carefully considered software calibration, we enhance both usability and driving experience while maintaining mechanical integrity.
Performance Retrofits
Considered upgrades including intake, exhaust and suspension components selected for OEM-level integration.
Coding & Calibration
Engine and gearbox calibrations carried out with a focus on smooth delivery, reliability and long-term durability.
Feature Activation
Unlock dormant factory features - from digital cockpit options to comfort, lighting and system configurations.
OEM+ Retrofits
Apple CarPlay integration, OEM camera systems and factory-spec hardware upgrades fitted to manufacturer standards.
Performance software modifications may affect manufacturer warranties, emissions compliance and insurance requirements. Clients are responsible for declaring any modifications to their insurer. All calibration work is carried out following consultation and suitability assessment.
