Hats Off to HPI


We were awarded the Honest John, ‘Highly Approved Trader’ (HAT) award again this year (2nd time on the bounce)!Voted for by you, the public, the HAT Awards are hosted by honestjohn.co.uk and recognise best practice within the UK motor trade.

We joined an exclusive group of 11 winners from across the motoring industry, who all demonstrate exceptional service standards and value for motorists.

Honest John himself said;

“The HAT Awards give the businesses that are delivering an exceptional experience to motorists the recognition they deserve, from the real experts: motorists themselves.  Given the economic pinch it is now more important than ever for consumers to find good deals and decent service for a sensible price.  I believe the HAT Standard sets the benchmark for a level of customer service that motorists should have the right to expect”.

Our very own Nicola Johnson, Consumer Services Manager for HPI adds,

“We are delighted to win for a second time. It reflects HPI’s ongoing commitment to meeting the changing needs of consumers that first started in 1938. Today, used car buyers can access the HPI Check on the move via our mobile enabled service, available on iPhone, tablets and Android Smartphones, as well as through our traditional website and Salisbury-based contact centre. Consumers continue to get the same great service and motoring know-how, no matter how they get in contact with us.

“Over the last couple of years HPI has delivered over 20 million vehicle history checks and powers provenance checks on behalf of companies such as the RAC, AA, PistonHeads, and eBay. Together we continue to protect used car buyers from the risk of fraud, helping them shop with confidence and drive happy. With the Honest John’s HAT Standard, anyone checking a potential car purchase with HPI knows they are using a company voted for and recommended by other motorists.”
