We have installed automatic hand sanitisation stations in all entrances to our showrooms. All staff have been provided with PPE and all desks also have protective screens installed too. We are asking all customers to bring a face covering when visiting our showrooms. Don't worry though, if you forget yours we do have plenty available to keep you going.
To speed up our processes and also ensuring that we remain COVID secure all car sale related documentation will be signed electronically. This is is also safer for data transfer too. On top of this all of our handovers are contactless ensuring you can get out on the road as quickly as possible.
To make your visit as comfortable as possible we have spent time refining our procedures and altering them accordingly to the situation we find ourselves in.
Have you ever worried about buying a car, getting it home and not liking it as much as you hoped? Well, there is no need to worry anymore! At Batchelors, we understand buying a used car is daunting... never mind buying it online, having never driven the car before. That is why we invented the Batchelors Test/Own. The ultimate test drive. It allows you to try owning the car, fitting the car into your lifestyle. If you don't like it we will give you your money back. Can you say fairer than that?
When you purchase your vehicle, just ask your Sales Executive about having it delivered to your home. They’ll be able to give you an idea of availability, and how quickly we can complete the delivery.
We’ve invested in a new state of the art single car transporter and trailer too, so we won’t even add any miles to the vehicle you’ve purchased, and we’ll make sure it’s fully sanitised and cleaned before it starts the journey to your home.
