MOTORPOINT in Widnes is now offering contactless collection at its branch.

The new click and collect service, which will initially be available Monday to Friday, will enable customers to adhere to the latest social distancing guidelines and choose, buy and drive away without any physical contact with a member of staff. This includes test drives which can now be done without someone from Motorpoint being present in the car.

Chief Executive Officer of Motorpoint Mark Carpenter said: “As a business that has openness and friendliness at the heart of everything it does, creating a buying experience that puts distance between our teams and our customers feels slightly unnatural, but it is absolutely necessary and the right thing to do.

“We’ve been working hard to redesign our processes in order to minimise contact, and with the tools that we have developed to move the whole buying experience online, we firmly believe our contactless collection system means customers can buy their new car from us not only with absolute confidence but also absolute safety.”

The car sales shop is also operating its home delivery service covering the whole of the UK mainland for those customers who aren’t in a position to utilise the contactless collection system in branch.

Launched in late March, it enables customers to have their new car, fully sanitised, delivered to their doorstep five days a week free of charge.

The company will refund the difference to any customer within seven days of their order if they find the same car from a competitor. As an added bonus, it will also give the customer £50 worth of Amazon vouchers to spend.

Motorpoint, which was recently awarded Platinum status by Feefo for its outstanding customer service, currently has over 5,500 low mileage, nearly new cars and light commercial vehicles available from over 30 different manufacturers. Every vehicle comes with the balance of manufacturer’s warranty backed by the Motorpoint Price Promise.
