How we value your car

Your Vehicle

After entering your registration, mileage information and brief details online we will provide you with the true trade value of your vehicle, all in less than two minutes. That’s all it takes.

Each appraisal is backed with a written offer that stays the same, even if you don't buy a car from us.

All that’s left to do is for you to make an appointment to bring your vehicle in for a final valuation either by calling us on (correct number?) or via Live Chat.

If you have a van, mobile home or motorbike you wish to trade in call us on and we will be able to give you a valuation over the phone.

How we value your car

Most dealers and car supermarkets base their valuations on data that is weeks old and depending on trading conditions can give you inaccurate valuations. Our valuation tool provides real-time data achieved at auctions and gives you the true trade value of your vehicle.

When you come in with your vehicle our staff will give your car a health check and look in all the nooks and crannies using new state of the art hand held devices. After checking the vehicle condition, service history, MOT length, additional extras and general desirability in more detail your car may be worth more than the initial valuation. Our process is 100% transparent so you can be confident that our valuation reflects the true value of your vehicle.

There is no other tool in the market like it. And because our valuations are so accurate you can choose your new car safe in the knowledge that you know exactly how much you need to budget for.

Your offer

We will value your vehicle at no obligation, so why not give it a go, you have nothing to lose.

Once you have filled in your vehicle details using our quick valuation tool, you will immediately be able to see what your vehicle is worth. The valuation will be confirmed to you via email and is valid for seven days. And whilst we would love to see you drive away in a new vehicle from CarShop, there’s no need to worry. We’ll buy your car even if you don’t buy one of ours.
