Carbase's Reserve & Collect Service

At Carbase, we're constantly trying to improve the service we provide to our customers. Covid-19 has changed the way everyone approaches new purchases, including their next car or van. That's why we're proud to offer our Reserve & Collect service to our customers, to provide them with the safest and most hygienic vehicle buying process possible. Aside from hygiene, it's the most convenient way to collect a car or van you have just bought.

"The experience at Carbase Lympsham was great because not living nearby could have been a issue but wasn't. All the questions I had were answered, there were plenty of genuine photos that I could check the vehicle out with beforehand. There was plenty of communication and nothing was too much trouble, a friendly professional service throughout. Very happy. " - Tracy

Reserve & Collect >

Our Reserve & Collect service allows you to minimise the time you spend at the Carbase premises. The way it works is very simple. You begin by browsing from our broad selection of high quality used cars and vans. When you've identified the vehicle you're interested in, you either call us or you register your interest online. There is a £99 reservation fee to hold the vehicle, however, this is fully refundable. You can arrange all of your finance and part exchange requirements online in the space of just a few clicks. With the vehicle reserved as your own, you will be given a personal appointment to visit our premises with plenty of time to examine, approve and take your next car or van for a test drive. With that concluded, you're free to drive your new car or van home at your convenience.

With an appraisal of your trade-in, your finance in place, and your confirmation in the form of an e-signature, your new vehicle is yours.
