HERE they are! Today we’re delighted to publish the Nominations list of who is in the running for one of our prestigious Used Car Awards this year.
From the hundreds of names we received via the form we printed in the magazine and published online, these are the companies that have made it through to the next round of our hotly contested and much-prized event.
The first part of judging which whittled our nominees down to this first round saw online checks being made, including the analysis of industry feedback and customer reviews. They now face the mystery shopping phase – both online and in person – which has already begun.
The companies that emerge triumphant from this next stage will then be scrutinised by our judging panel – including TV’s Mr Wheeler Dealer, aka Mike Brewer – to earn a place on our final shortlist.
Hosted by Brewer, this year’s Car Dealer Used Car Awards are being held on Monday, November 25 at The Brewery in London, and everyone who books a table at our glittering ceremony will enjoy a terrific three-course meal plus free drinks all night – and, if they fancy it, plenty of dancing! We’ve even lined up a pre-awards drinks reception plus a fun casino for after the event.
On the night, we’ll be announcing two highly commended firms – something that those successful firms should be very proud of indeed – and our ultimate winners.
Now in their eighth magnificent year, the awards really are the gold standard in this backbone of the industry. They shine a spotlight on the best, brightest, smartest and downright nicest across the full spectrum of the used car trade.
Winning one of our Used Car Awards trophies or being highly commended is a huge accolade, because it truly shows how highly regarded the dealer is by their peers.
Event host Mike Brewer said: ‘From the smaller independents to the larger groups, these awards are for every dealer in the used car business. The seal of confidence that the awards offer can be used to businesses’ advantage, as they demonstrate to the public that they are the ones who can be trusted and relied upon – the dealerships to spend their money with.’
The awards are also a great opportunity to thank staff for all their hard work during the year and to entertain clients, especially in the run-up to Christmas.

Well done to all those who are on the Nominations list – and good luck for the next stage!
