EXPAT CAR FINDING SERVICE
Get in the driving seat, without doing any of the hard work…
Helping you find a car for your time in the UK
OUR GOAL AT PALMDALE IS VERY SIMPLE
To make finding a car for your move to the UK as easy as possible…
oh, and to be here for any further support you need.
Palmdale Car Finders is led by lifelong car nut, James Brodnicki, who joined the team in 2017. James was proud to take over the company in September 2026 from the founder, Ashley Winston, who started Palmdale Car Finders in 2005. Like the rest of the team, James believes that when you spend your hard-earned money on a car, you should be treated like royalty, and that buying one should be a pleasure, not a chore.
Initially, Palmdale was only offered to people already living in the UK, but we soon became very involved in the relocation industry and are proud to have helped hundreds of people who are either soon to arrive here or are new to the UK. Our expertise in this area has even won us an Association of Relocation Professionals award.
The level of client support we offer is something we’re especially proud of. Yes, we’re here to find cars, arrange finance, and sort leases or rentals. But once a client has a car, they can ask for whatever other support they need. This includes us buying the car back when they’re ready to move on again.
Our office staff are predominantly based in London, but our mobile team deliver cars all over the UK.
