This is the Used Car Awards 2020 Nominations List. This has been whittled down from all submissions via a first round of judging.
That included assessing Google and Auto Trader reviews, other online feedback, the nomination citations as well as the views of the judges. Next the mystery shopping process begins before the shortlist is revealed on January 5.
Five names will make the shortlist and from that one winner will be chosen and two highly commended placed firms.
If your name or company has appeared on the list below you are entitled to use the Car Dealer Used Car Awards Nominee logo on social media, your website or marketing.
Download the Used Car Awards Nominee Logo.
Please be warned, any firm found to be using the logo which has not been nominated – as has happened in the past – will be reported to Trading Standards.
Good luck to all those nominated below in the next stage of the judging process.
