Why Not All Used Cars Are Equal – The Great Central Auto Difference
When it comes to buying a used car, it’s important to remember one simple truth: not all used cars are prepared equally. At Great Central Auto, we believe that every customer deserves complete confidence in the vehicle they’re purchasing. That’s why we take pride in offering some of the highest preparation standards in the area – going far beyond what most dealers do.
A Strict 120-Point Inspection
Every car we sell undergoes a comprehensive 120-point inspection carried out by our factory-trained technicians. This isn’t just a quick look over the basics – it’s a detailed assessment that covers every area of the vehicle, including:
Vehicle identification checks
Interior and comfort features
Heating and air conditioning
Windows, mirrors, and lighting
Boot and load areas
Wheels and tyres
Braking system
Steering and suspension
Engine bay, gearbox, and transmission
Exhaust system
Full under-vehicle inspection
And finally, a road test to ensure performance and safety
This process ensures that your next car isn’t just fit for sale, but fit for peace of mind.
Serviced and MOT Ready
Unlike some dealerships that leave future servicing to the customer, we go the extra mile. If a car is due its next service within six months, we’ll complete that service before handing it over. The same applies to the MOT – if it’s due within six months, we’ll take care of it. Where possible, we also ensure the MOT comes with no serious advisories, so you don’t face hidden expenses down the road.
Comprehensive History Checks
Mechanical condition is only part of the story. A car’s history matters just as much. That’s why we carry out thorough checks to confirm that every vehicle we sell is free from:
Outstanding finance
Stolen or scrapped records
Mileage discrepancies
Import/export status issues
Colour changes or incorrect documentation
Third-party interests or stocking finance
We even identify any past plate changes – so you know exactly what you’re buying.
Prepared Inside and Out
Our preparation doesn’t stop under the bonnet. Every car’s appearance is just as carefully inspected and improved. This can include:
Diamond cut alloy wheel repairs
Smart repairs on bumper corners
Dent removal where possible
By the time a car reaches our forecourt, it looks as good as it drives.
The Great Central Auto Difference
Buying a used car should never feel like a gamble. At Great Central Auto, our strict preparation standards, expert inspections, and meticulous history checks mean you can buy with confidence. We believe our customers deserve better than “just prepared” – they deserve a car that feels like it’s truly ready for the road.
That’s the Great Central Auto Difference.
