Car Dealer Podcast: We chat to our head Used Car Awards mystery shopper about what stood out

Time 7:37 am, February 10, 2021

Car Dealer ended last week with the virtual glamour of the Used Car Awards – but our podcast managed to snag one of the most important people in the process as a special guest.

Following James’ disgust that I had tried to have my own mystery judge, he decided to bring on the head of the Used Car Awards mystery shopping team.

In this Podcast episode, James and I compete to choose the the best stories of the week with the help of our head mystery shopper ‘Joe’ who makes the final decision.


He also shares some of his views on the top stories of the week, and reflects on the judging process for this year’s Used Car Awards, noting the differences compared to previous years.

So far in our quiz of the week, James has won four times out of five. Listen now to find out if he can continue his winning streak.

You can listen to the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and more, or press play on the podcast player below.
