Caledonia Vehicle Solutions

Prestige and performance cars with the personal touch

Founded in 2012 by the father and son team of Jim and Jason Skimming, Caledonia Vehicle Solutions Limited has become the go-to place for people in search of well-prepared prestige and performance cars and the personalised customer service that only a family-run business can provide.

Now, with the launch of a brand-new MOT centre on-site, Caledonia is further expanding its services, offering customers a trusted destination for vehicle testing and maintenance. Based at deceptively large premises at Peebles Street, Ayr, for the last nine years, Caledonia has an ever-changing selection of around forty to fifty cars in stock. “Our philosophy is pretty simple,” says Jason, who’s now responsible for the day-to day running of the business as Jim eases towards retirement. “We select cars that we’d be happy to own and drive, prepare them thoroughly, and offer them for sale at competitive prices. Every car we sell – whether it’s a Lamborghini or a Corsa – is serviced before sale, comes with a fresh MOT certificate, and at least six months warranty. Extended warranties of up to 24 months are available and we’re FCA authorised credit brokers with access to a range of funding options.”

And then there’s the personal touch. As Jason explains: “For me, car buying should be an experience that’s tailored to suit the needs and wishes of the customer. That’s why I deal personally with each and every customer from their initial enquiry right through to aftersales service.”

This devotion to customer care is reflected by Caledonia’s investment in adding on-site servicing and preparation facilities, including an MOT station. “This means we can be sure that the cars we sell are prepared exactly as we’d like them to be if they were our own cars,” says Jason.

Having these facilities has also enabled Caledonia to offer servicing, repairs and MOTs to the public, as well as consumables like tyres, exhausts, batteries and brake pads. And, as Jason notes, “No matter what work we undertake, our philosophy is the same: do the job right.” If you bought your car from Caledonia, you’ll get a discounted labour rate on servicing and repairs. You don’t need to be an existing customer, though, to benefit from Caledonia’s interest free payment option, which enables bills for repair work to be paid in four equal monthly instalments – just the thing for helping people to deal with unanticipated bills without having to pay swingeing interest charges.

With its commitment to service and quality, an excellent range of cars, its convenient location not far from Ayr town centre, and Jason’s boundless enthusiasm for cars – he describes his job as like being a child given the keys to the toy shop – it’s easy to see why Caledonia continues to go from strength to strength in an ever-changing world.
