Westover Kia Proud to Win Auto Express 'Used Car Scheme of the Year' Award
5 October 2011
Kia’s Approved Used Car Scheme - offered by Westover Kia in Ferndown - has been recognised as the best in the industry after winning ‘Used Car Scheme of the Year’ in the Auto Express Used Car Awards 2011.
Auto Express praised Kia for going above and beyond the level of service offered by other manufacturers, thanks to an industry-leading range of customer benefits. Kia’s ‘best-in-the-business’ seven year warranty was highlighted as a major benefit to buyers – not just for its length but also because it is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
“Approved used Kias don’t just get the balance of their manufacturer warranty,” says Paul Griffiths, Westover Kia Brand Manager. “Instead, the warranty is topped back up to its full seven years, meaning that an approved used Kia bought through a dealership gets the same warranty as a brand new Kia. It makes them very appealing to buyers who want to be reassured that back-up is available should their car need attention in the future. It’s also reassuring because it’s evidence of the confidence that Kia has in its cars – the company wouldn’t offer such lengthy warranties if it wasn’t certain of the reliability of its engineering and construction.”
It wasn’t just the warranty that impressed the Auto Express judging panel though. Explaining their decision, Auto Express remarked: “Plus, you get 60 days or 1,000 miles in which to change your mind. Add to this two years of breakdown cover, seven days’ free drive-away insurance and a useful online car locator, and you have a cracking approved scheme.”
Commenting on the award, Paul added: “Kia’s Approved Used Car Scheme brings the best possible deal for Dorset motorists. We’re obviously very proud to be able to offer this service, and delighted that its strengths have been recognised by Auto Express.
