Connected Stories: Burch Autos

Meet the dealer

David Burch, Director at Burch Autos, runs an independent used-car dealership in Newtownards, Northern Ireland.

Burch Autos was born from a family tradition, beginning with David’s grandfather, who occasionally sold cars from the family home. His father continued the tradition and when David graduated with a business and marketing degree, he turned his passion for selling cars into a sustainable business.

This dealership is driven by a clear mission to do the best for its customers and create a positive buying experience.

“It’s important to us that our suppliers and partners reflect our values,” David explains. “Like us, DSG Connected prioritise doing right by people.”

We’re Better Connected

DSG and Burch Autos have been working together for the last five years, and during this time they’ve been able to expand and cater to more customers.

“They have positively impacted our business, especially with customers who don’t have perfect credit.”

David says, “Having them as a broker is a great advantage and their systems are user-friendly. They have over 20 lenders and won’t rest on a proposal until every possible option has been explored.”

Burch Autos have also recently consolidated from two branches to one, allowing them to operate more efficiently. With ongoing support, they feel confident navigating these changes.

“It’s amazing to have Steven there with his wealth of knowledge in finance. At the end of the day, he’s always looking out for us.”

“Dealing with people like Steven is what sets Connected apart from other finance companies. We have a really strong relationship with him, nothing is ever too much to ask.”
