Our Nominations List for the prestigious Used Car Awards 2025 is now complete – and here we reveal who will move to the next stage.
The nominations for the Used Car Awards, sponsored by Black Horse, is published below and contains the names of those who will go through to the mystery shopping phase.
Car Dealer’s mystery shopping team has already begun its work, so make sure your teams are on top form as our judges may call, email or even visit your dealership in person.
Winners will be announced at the glittering awards ceremony at The Brewery in London on November 24.
Our judging panel – which includes event host and Wheeler Dealers star Mike Brewer – have trimmed down the thousands of nominations received using a combination of online reviews across a variety of platforms and citations.
We look at Auto Trader and Google rankings, the number of reviews and even what your customers have said about you on these platforms and others.
The size of your business, the age, and your stock levels are all taken into consideration when the judges look at the nominees.
Anyone can nominate a business so if your name is on the list and comes as a surprise that’ll be because someone out there admires what you do!
The businesses on this list will now be mystery-shopped by our panel of experts before our judges draw up the awards Shortlist, which will be revealed on October 20.
Brewer said: ‘It’s been another fascinating year for the judging team as we look at the brilliant businesses put forward for our awards.
‘I’ve loved whittling them down to this Nominations List as it’s given me a chance to check out these dealers’ reviews – and my word there are some great ones out there.
‘The next step will be tough and I wish all those on the list the best of luck in the mystery shopping phase.’
Mystery shopping can happen remotely, on the phone or on a nominated firm’s website, or in person.
The Used Car Awards, sponsored by Black Horse, will be held on November 24 at The Brewery in London.
It is highly advisable to book your table at the event now as places are running out fast. Last year the event sold out.
For table bookings please contact [email protected] or call 020 8125 3880.
The event is black tie, includes a three-course dinner and unlimited beer and wine.
