Our mystery shoppers have completed their tough job – and today we can reveal who has made the Used Car Awards 2024 Shortlist.
Over the last two weeks, our mystery shoppers have been calling, emailing, messaging and visiting all of the car dealers who made our Nominations List.
Their performances were cross referenced with online reviews and feedback from a variety of platforms, while judges assessed citations for the nominated businesses.
Below, you can see who made our shortlist and who will be in the running for our Used Car Awards 2024, sponsored by Black Horse, on Monday, November 25.
On the night, awards host Mike Brewer will name a winner and two highly commended placed firms in each of the categories.
Judge and awards host Mike Brewer said: ‘The mystery shopping is a tough phase and really separates the cream of the crop.
‘It staggers me how good the good firms are and some of the service we received was nothing short of exemplary.
‘However, there were several dealers that didn’t even reply to our enquiries which is a real shame.
‘A huge congratulations to all those firms named on our Shortlist and I am looking forward to handing out the awards on November 25.’

‘I can’t wait to join the industry at the end of November for these awards and celebrate with the very best in the business.’
