Car Plug MCR won the coveted Newcomer Dealership of the Year trophy at this year’s Used Car Awards.
In the hotly contested ‘Newcomer’ category, assessors were looking for a great selection of vehicles for customers to choose from; professional and friendly customer service; and plenty of positive online reviews for businesses launched only recently.
Car Plug MCR specialises in providing ex-lease premium cars, carefully hand-picked to meet the highest standards of quality and luxury.
The dealership based in Balfour Road, Altrincham, was praised by the judges for its impressive customer service, a great range of well-prepared vehicles and shining reviews. Customers are already raving about them despite only being open for a few years!
Car Plug MCR director Ade Sadiq said: ‘To win this award feels amazing – we’re absolutely ecstatic.’
Fellow director Samson Adefeso said: ‘We were delighted just to be shortlisted – so to win is just brilliant. It’s great to win recognition for our little dealership tucked away in Altrincham!’
James Baggott, editor-in-chief of Car Dealer Magazine, said: ‘Starting a used car dealership is not easy – there’s a huge amount to think about, from stock acquisition to pricing, pitches and marketing.
