#UCAwards: The final five are revealed – are you one of the top used car dealers in the UK?

THE countdown is on to the Used Car Awards 2018 and today we can reveal the final five in each category, who could be picking up a coveted gong on November 26.

The dealerships, workshops, manufacturers and suppliers listed below are now the only ones remaining who are eligible for gongs at the awards – often described as the Oscars of the UK’s used car industry and organised each year by Car Dealer Magazine.

Our team of mystery shoppers have been putting each business to the test, scoring them on their performance and collating this final list of the best in the business.

It might sound like a tough, uncompromising process – and that’s because it is! The standard of entries gets higher and higher every year and only the best of the best will emerge triumphant.

At the awards ceremony itself – which will be held at The Brewery in London on Monday, November 26 – the five shortlisted businesses or individuals up for each award will all have their names read out by our host for the evening, TV’s Mike Brewer.

Mike will then reveal the two highly commended winners in each category before announcing the name of the overall winner – and that will be an achievement truly worth shouting about!

Read on to find out if you’re one of the final few! If you are, email [email protected] for your finalists’ logo.
