DriveWise UK was founded in 2026 by Matt Stevenson, a mechanical engineer with over 13 years of experience across aerospace and automotive industries built on decades of hands-on experience with cars.

Matt’s passion for cars started at a young age—fixing his first car at just 13. What began as a personal interest quickly developed into a profession, leading to formal engineering training and a career spanning both aerospace and automotive sectors.

Over the years, Matt became the go-to person for friends, family and colleagues when it came to buying cars—offering trusted advice on what to buy, what to avoid, and where to find the best options for their needs and stage of life.

Recognising a gap in the UK car market, he founded DriveWise UK to provide that same level of honest, expert guidance to a wider audience.

With countless models, engines and specifications available, choosing the right car can quickly become overwhelming. DriveWise cuts through the noise.

By combining deep technical knowledge with real-world market insight, Matt helps clients make confident, informed decisions—identifying the right models, trims and powertrains that deliver long-term reliability, value and driving enjoyment.
