About Us

From our family to yours for over 100 years.

The origins of our company date back to the late 1800's when Gilbert Hutchings opened his first butcher shop in Ton Pentre in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales. As Gilbert saw a need for transporting meat through the Valleys he began taking an interest in vehicles.

Fast forward to more than 100 years and four generations later, the company has grown and evolved its sole product focus from butchery to motor vehicles. We are proud to still be serving the wider community of South Wales from our dealerships in Treforest, Bridgend and Swansea.

We are passionate about being a part of the local community and feel strongly about providing an outstanding level of customer service by embodying the mission statement we have held up for over a century:

"We'll welcome our staff and customers into our family and using the knowledge and skills that we've acquired over more than a hundred years to provide an exceptional customer experience, be a great place to work and provide memorable, high-quality, cost effective services"

Thanks to our loyal customers we have continued to thrive and grow amongst the motor traders in South Wales. Over the years, we have been privileged to receive many public, industry, and franchise awards covering various different elements of our business. These have been in recognition of individual, team and whole company achievements whilst always striving to provide top quality, value-for-money products and services.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and we look forward to the prospect and pleasure of doing business with you in the very near future.

  • J F Hutchings Ltd trading as Hutchings Hyundai Pontypridd, Hutchings Hyundai Bridgend and Hutchings Hyundai Swansea and John F Hutchings Ltd trading as Hutchings Vauxhall Pontypridd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows {Full legal entity name plus any trading name(s)} to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
