cartime Announced as UK Car Supermarket of the Year

A: Jerri Murtagh

cartime is delighted to have been announced as this year's UK Car Supermarket of the Year.

The accolade was awarded at the Motor Trader Industry Awards, which pays tribute to companies that demonstrate excellence in their field, exceptional customer service and innovation in the marketplace. 

The Car Supermarket of the Year award is highly regarded throughout the industry and we are delighted to have been announced as the winner of this national award.

With over 1,000 cars available across our sites in Bury and Rochdale, we are proud to offer a new way to buy a used car. 

Some of the unique selling points that helped us win this award include: 

We Handpick Our Cars
Every car available at cartime has been handpicked, taking colour, mileage, condition and specification into consideration. This allows us to provide the best prices and quality vehicles to all of our customers.

Mechanical Checks on All Vehicles
A mechanical 62-point check is undertaken on all cars, in combination with an extensive grading system. Any car that fails to achieve a cartime high quality grade is taken off stock and sent to auction.

Cars Supplied in ‘As New’ Condition
All of our cars go through an extensive preparation process. Dents are fixed, paintwork is updated and any scratches or marks are removed. Seats and material are also inspected for defects and upgraded when needed. Each car is also given a new MOT and service where required.

Industry-leading Warranty Package
We are proud to offer our famous six-year warranty package, which includes six years’ MOT, servicing and guarantee. This is way above the industry average for a new or used car.

Part Exchange Your Car
Available to all customers, our team of analysts utilise the latest technology to ensure a competitive part exchange price for your car.

Competitive Finance and 0% Available
Offering some of the best rates in the UK, we have a dedicated team of lenders to allow us to offer extremely competitive finance packages and low monthly payments. We can also often offer finance to those with low credit ratings, and 0% finance is also available to many of our customers.

Drive Away on the Same Day
Test drives are available on many of our vehicles and you can even drive away on the same day with most of our cars.

One of the Largest Dealers in the North West
With over 1,000 vehicles available from over 30 manufacturers, we are one of the largest dealers in the North West and also boast the largest 4x4 centre in the region.

A Relaxed Environment
Buying a car should be an enjoyable experience and our state-of-the-art showrooms offer an inviting and relaxing atmosphere, with a ‘no pressure’ sales ethos.

Virtual Viewings and Online Reservations
We take up to 60 photographs of each car to place online and give full appreciation of a car’s interior and exterior, with videos and 360-degree simulators available. Test drives can be booked online, and you can even reserve your car directly through our website.

Fully Prepped Valeting Centre
Each car goes to our fully prepped valeting centre to be handled by our specialists. Cars are polished using a special compound giving to give that showroom finish.

Customer peace of mind
Before purchase, customers are given the opportunity to point out anything they think we’ve missed. We then offer 30 days in which you can get back to us after the purchase.
