Allesley is one of those places that feels separate from the city even though it's officially part of it — the old village green, the church, the pubs. We've looked after cars from Allesley for a long time, and one of our reviewers is a proud Allesley local who's stuck with us year after year.
From Allesley, you can reach us at Home Farm on Meriden Road (CV7 7SL) via the A45 and across towards Meriden in a matter of minutes. It's far quicker and easier than fighting your way to a city-centre dealer.
