Our History and Our People
Get to know us
How it all started
Brookline Cars Ltd was founded in 1965 by Elsie Brook. An entrepreneurial spark was ignited in her when regularly asked for lifts in her Hillman Imp. Although, when asked to go further than the Warwickshire border, her car would mysteriously be "at the garage!"
Her husband Frank, sons Patrick and Chris, and Patrick's son Simon, continued to grow the business into the fleet we are today. Still very much a family-run business, owned by the third generation of the Brook family. Not only serving Warwickshire, but the whole Midlands region and nationwide.
A developing business
Since 2014 we have operated from our very own large bespoke unit located in Kenilworth, Warwickshire. We have onsite vehicle maintenance, vehicle wash bays, valet and storage facilities.
Our executive cars and coaches are finished in our branded silver livery and to our usual high standard. All our cars and most of our coaches are leather interior.

Jack
Little Jack started at Brookline 3 years ago when he was 5 and looks after our depot and our fleet. We recently gave him his own Little Tikes Cosy Coupe when he became one of our private hire drivers.
Natalie
Natalie has returned to the fold and looks after reservations and scheduling. Just don't mention Sunderland FC.

Bella
Bella lives with her owner Diane near the Brookline Depot and comes to visit us for strokes and fuss every day without fail. She even has her own chair throne!
What our customers say...
"Good prices and lovely cars, but moire importantly excellent customer service. Easy to arrange our airport transfers, but more impressively when our flight back was delayed by 24 hours they liaised with us over a weekend to arrange a new pick-up. Thanks Brookline!" - Simon Hobson
