We’re feeling the love…

You may have seen in the news recently how 2015 was a record year for car sales, both new and used.

We’re delighted to announce that we have been nominated for not one but three awards in this year’s AM Awards.

With winter well and truly upon us, we take a look at just a few of the reasons it’s so important to properly service your car.

cartime is all about offering customers a new way to buy a used-car. For us, that involves improving your car-buying experience by making it a little bit special. This extends to our very own on-site Car Service Centre, where we’ve had a great idea that involves giving something back to our customers.

We’re spreading the Christmas cheer down at cartime HQ, as we’ve teamed up with Key 103 for the launch of Cash for Kids Mission Christmas. As a named present drop-off point, we’re inviting you down to donate any extra Christmas gifts in aid of a really great charitable cause.

Everyone loves saving money – including our old friend, cartime Tim. So much so, our very own animated amigo has compiled a list of the best ways to make buying and owning a car cheaper, with everything from getting yourself some 0% finance, to making sure your tyres are pumped up correctly!

We’re delighted to announce last week’s win at the Made in Bury Business Awards 2015. It’s been a weekend of celebrations, as we were awarded Best in Class in the coveted Motoring and Transport category – and there are a few tired faces down at cartime HQ this morning!

It seems that September was a busy month for those buying cars on finance. The latest figures from the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA) have revealed that a whopping £2.64billion worth of new wheels were purchased in September alone – equating to a 15% rise on the amount borrowed last September.

We work hard down at cartime HQ, and continually strive for growth and success as a used-car supermarket. It’s always nice when this hard work is recognised, which is why we are delighted to have made Insider Magazine’s ‘SME300’.
