Engine oil is cheap. Engines… less so. 😬

Regular oil changes help reduce wear, keep everything lubricated properly and can make a real difference to the long-term health of your engine.

It's a small maintenance job but another good reason to get your car serviced regularly.

If your car is overdue a service or your not sure your oil's been changed recently. Give Kev or Ted a call. They're happy to help.

Dig out the woolly hats and wellies - it's almost time for Thame Fireworks again at Chinnor RFC Thame

Taking place this Saturday 7th November. Gates open at 3.45pm with family entertainment and food vendors before the main fireworks display gets underway at 6.30pm.

Thame Cars are very proud to sponsor this fantastic local event yet again this year.

Have fun everyone! 🎆

Repeat customers are the best kind of compliment.

Debi had spent months looking for the right car, but Pete had a pretty good idea of what would suit her.

So when one came in that he thought might be the one, he came in on his afternoon off so she could see it before it even went on sale.

Turns out, he was right.

Debi has been coming to Thame Cars for years, but even by his usual standards, it sounds like Pete pulled this one out of the bag.

Thanks for the lovely review, Debi. And well done, Pete. 👏

Meet the faces behind Thame Cars 👋

Well… some of them. There are quite a few more of us hiding in offices, under bonnets and generally avoiding the camera. But these are the people you’re most likely to bump into when you visit us.

Nick and Scott keep the whole thing running.

Peter and Shelim are here to help you find the right car, without following you around the showroom with a clipboard.

And over in Service, Harry, Kev and Ted are there to make looking after your car feel straightforward, helpful and as hassle-free as possible.

We’ve been part of Thame for more than 30 years, but it's never really been 'just' about the cars. Thame Cars has always been about the people behind the business, who help our local community keep moving.

So if you haven’t met us yet, come and say hello. 👋

Decent cars. Kind service. Good value.

“Your brake pads are 70% worn.”

Right… so is that bad? Do I need to panic? Can I still drive home? 😳

It’s one of those bits of garage-speak that can sound a bit dramatic!

It's actually more of an advisory. 70% worn doesn't mean 'about to fail', but they are getting close to needing to be replaced.

If your brakes are squeaking, feeling different, or you’ve been told your pads are getting low and you’re not sure what to do next, give us a shout. We're here to help and we promise to keep it Safe, Simple & Easy. 🚗

☎️ Give Kev or Ted a call on 01844 215566.

We're recruiting! Fancy joining the friendliest garage in Thame (according to Nick's Mum)?

We're looking for two people to fill our latest vacancies...

Service Adviser
We're looking for a customer-focused Service Advisor to join our busy Service Department. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a background in retail or hospitality who thrives on delivering outstanding customer service, to bring that experience into the motor trade.

Valeter
We're looking for an experienced Car Valeter to join our Car Preparation Team. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes real pride in presentation, has an excellent eye for detail and enjoys working as part of a busy team.

Both jobs are full-time (Mon-Fri) and based at our dealership on Rycote Lane in Thame.

We are an award-winning independent car dealership and service centre who prides itself on being part of the local community. We offer competitive salaries and a company bonus scheme.

Full details of salary and benefits, plus how to apply can be found on our website: https://www.thamecars.co.uk/job-vacancies

There’s a line in Rod’s review that sums up exactly how we want buying a car to feel: “Not at all pushy.”

Take your time. Have another test drive. Ask all the questions. Go away and think about it if you want to.

Shelim’s job isn’t to persuade you into buying a car. It’s to help you feel confident you’ve found the right one.

And when you do decide? We’ll make the rest as easy as possible.

Thanks for the brilliant review, Rod, and nice work, Shelim. 👏

Safe. Simple. Easy. That’s the Thame Cars way.

It’s fair to say the team would rather sell, service, MOT or repair a car than stand in front of a camera.

Fortunately, this time they mostly didn’t have to. We've captured what actually happens here every day - cars being prepared, customers being looked after, servicing, repairs, MOTs and the general organised chaos of a busy local garage.

Slightly annoyingly for everyone who hates being filmed, it turned out pretty well 😉

So here we are. Thame Cars, doing what we do.

No acting required.

“Kev, quick question… what actually happens if my timing belt goes?”

Well… nothing you particularly want to happen. 😬

Timing belts are one of those things that are very easy to forget about, right up until they make themselves spectacularly unforgettable.

The good news? Prevention is considerably cheaper than dealing with the aftermath.

If you’re not sure when the timing belt in your vehicle needs changing or you’re worried it might be overdue, give Kev or Ted a quick call and they will happily check for you. It only takes a couple of minutes (and saves you a lot of aggro!).
