Established Grimsby accident repair specialist is bringing its vehicle knowledge and personal approach to used car and van buyers across North East Lincolnshire.
Multi-award-winning CARS of Grimsby has announced the launch of a dedicated used car and van sales department, beginning an important new chapter for the established local business.
The Grimsby-based company has spent years helping drivers get safely back on the road following accidents. It will now use that experience and detailed understanding of vehicle condition to offer a carefully chosen and prepared selection of used vehicles for sale.
Operating under the name Select Vehicle Sales by CARS of Grimsby, the new department will give customers across North East Lincolnshire the opportunity to purchase a used car or van from a local business with extensive experience in vehicle assessment and repair.
The expansion gives local motorists a more personal way to buy a used vehicle, combining the convenience of browsing online with the reassurance of visiting the business, viewing and test driving a vehicle, and speaking face to face with an experienced member of the team.
Through its accident repair work, the CARS of Grimsby team has developed detailed knowledge of vehicle condition and repair quality. That experience will now support the selection and preparation of vehicles offered for sale.
CARS of Grimsby owner Jason Barker said:
“Buying a used car or van is a significant decision, and we know that many people want more than a set of photographs and a short online description before making that commitment.
“There is still a real benefit in being able to visit a local business, view a vehicle for yourself and speak face to face with someone who will take the time to understand what you need.
“Our experience in accident repair means we assess vehicles from a different perspective. We understand vehicle condition, recognise the standard of previous repairs and know how important thorough preparation is before a vehicle is offered for sale.
“We want local customers to feel comfortable asking questions and to know that there is an experienced team here to support them throughout the buying process.”
The new sales department will be led by Sales Manager Graham Sykes, whose appointment has created an additional role within the Grimsby business.
Already a familiar face to many people in the local area, Graham brings years of experience helping customers find vehicles suited to their needs, budget and lifestyle.
He will work closely with customers throughout the buying process and will also help source suitable cars or vans when the vehicle they require is not currently available.
Graham said:
“Buying online can be convenient, but many people still value being able to sit down with someone, explain what they are looking for and receive honest, helpful advice.”
“Our approach will be personal and unpressured. Customers can visit us, look around the vehicle, ask questions and speak to someone who will still be available after they have driven away.
“I am looking forward to welcoming customers to CARS of Grimsby and helping them find a vehicle that is right for their individual needs.”
The expansion has already created two new positions within the business, with the potential for further employment opportunities as the vehicle sales department develops.
Jason added:
“This is an important investment in the future of CARS of Grimsby and in the services we can offer to people across North East Lincolnshire.
“We are proud to be creating additional roles and hope that, as the department grows, it will create further opportunities within the local area.
“Our accident repair centre remains at the heart of the business. The same experienced team will continue providing the service our customers know and trust, while the new sales department allows us to use our knowledge in another way.”
Alongside offering used cars and vans for sale, CARS of Grimsby will provide customers with the opportunity to request a valuation for their current vehicle.
Each valuation enquiry will be reviewed by a member of the team before the customer is contacted to discuss the vehicle and the options available, including selling it directly or using it as a part exchange.
Customers can also contact the team if they have a particular make, model or type of vehicle in mind, as CARS of Grimsby may be able to help source a suitable option.
Jason said:
“We have built our reputation by supporting local people when they need us and treating people properly.
“We will be bringing that same personal approach to vehicle sales and giving local buyers greater confidence when choosing their next car or van.”
Customers can view the vehicles currently available, request help finding a particular car or van, or submit a vehicle valuation enquiry through the CARS of Grimsby website.
They can also visit Select Vehicle Sales at the existing CARS of Grimsby premises at Unit 25, Estate Road 8, South Humberside Industrial Estate, Grimsby, where they can view and test drive vehicles and speak face to face with Graham and the team.
Jason added:
“We want people across North East Lincolnshire to know they can visit us, have a look around and talk to someone who will take the time to understand what they need.
“We are proud to be bringing a more personal approach to used vehicle sales and look forward to welcoming both new and existing customers.”
