13. Movex is a B2B platform connecting used vehicle transport demand with
used vehicle logistics supply and saves the user time and money.
Our innovative platform allows users to place jobs for over 600 transport companies
to bid on. The platform returns them highly competitive quotes. Users can be assured
of the quality of the transport company they select, by viewing other users’ reviews
and details of the transporter’s insurance.
We like to make things simple for our defleet clients. So wherever your fleet
vehicles are located throughout mainland UK, just contact Manheim and we’ll
arrange vehicle collection and vehicle delivery straight to any one of our 17 UK
auction centres or to any destination.
Whether there’s one car to collect or 100, it’s all the same to us, because we have our
own fleet and also have access to over 200 car and commercial vehicle transporters,
plus the ability to call upon in excess of 500 plate drivers. This guarantees that we’re
geared up to provide efficient and reliable vehicle delivery and vehicle collection, with
no fuss and even less hassle – whenever you need us!

14. There’s a lot of trust involved with running a fleet of vehicles, and a lot of money
at stake too. That’s why when a vehicle is ready to leave your fleet, you’ll want to
know what kind of condition it’s in and whether you can expect it to fetch a
healthy price at auction. So why leave it to chance?
Manheim’s highly trained and trusted team of inspectors can provide a thorough
vehicle inspection off-site at the point of collection, or on-site once they’re
delivered to our car auction centre. Each inspector is fully BVRLA-trained and
carries out vehicle inspections using the latest hand-held technology. This ensures
that every piece of important information is recorded during a vehicle inspection
and submitted immediately. So, as soon as we know about the
condition of your vehicles, so will you.
Off-site
On-site
When you need to be as transparent as possible and have a vehicle inspection when
your customer is present, our off-site inspections fit the bill. Manheim’s professional
inspectors can work in partnership with our collection drivers, and thoroughly assess
a vehicle at the same time it is collected. We work to comprehensive BVRLA vehicle
inspection ‘fair wear & tear’ guidelines, or your own standards if you prefer.
There are other times when it might be more convenient to have your vehicles
inspected at one of our 17 auction centres. Vehicles are inspected to the published
inspection standard and a report is produced. Any vehicle exceptions to the
standards are reported and a repair cost estimate is included.

15. Finding the space to store a single vehicle can be relatively straightforward.
Finding space to store an entire fleet isn’t, unless of course you have acres
of secure land with enough storage capacity for thousands of vehicles or you
know a company like Manheim, which does.
Our two vehicle storage facilities at Coventry and Bruntingthorpe are centrally
located in the heart of the UK and have been purposely designed to provide short
and medium term vehicle storage.
Storage
A professional car valet is a straightforward and very cost-effective way to
instantly improve the appeal of your vehicle. Getting your car looking its best
inside and out usually means it will attract more interest from bidders and
buyers, often sell for a higher price, or even sell faster.
Manheim’s professional car valeting team provides a large range of services, from a
basic wash and leather to a thorough retail-standard deep clean on more than half a
million cars every year.

16. It’s vital that you always get the best possible resale price for your fleet vehicles
and making sure each vehicle goes to the car auction in the best possible
condition plays a large part in that.

and trusted throughout the motor trade, repairing dents, scuffs, scratches and minor

browse and bid from the comfort of your own dealership, choosing from a regular
selection of exclusive fresh-to-market vehicles. Each auction is hosted live by an
experienced Manheim auctioneer. Once the auction begins you can use Live Chat
to ask questions, plus watch, bid and compete for vehicles in real time.
Manheim can facilitate the sale of the vehicle directly to a family member, friend or
colleague of the driver. This fully outsourced, white labelled service can be integrated
into a contract end logistics process to enhance the driver experience and enable the
proactive marketing of assets prior to the end of contract.
Imagine having a dedicated team member working at Manheim, looking out for cars
that are the perfect fit for your dealership. That’s exactly what it’s like when you work
with our Trade Sales Team. You’ll have a personal account manager who’ll get to
know you and your dealership. They’ll then search Manheim’s entire UK auction stock
daily to find the cars you want, even negotiating prices with the seller on your behalf
- all at no extra cost.

centres, you’ll soon be able to see vehicles online from all angles, in high resolution.
You can zoom in on images to assess any visible damage, ensuring you’re seeing
everything to a detail you can trust.
360° Vehicle Images
We’re building the most trusted vehicle inspection and preparation process to
give buyers the confidence in the vehicles they are buying and confidence in the
Manheim brand.
Before many vehicles are made available at any Manheim car auction, they have
already been thoroughly examined by one of our highly-qualified vehicle inspectors,
and graded according to its condition. Our inspectors look at every inch of a vehicle’s
exterior and when the inspection is completed, each vehicle is awarded one of six
NAMA Grades, depending on the type of damage noted. The inspection reports are
available to view on our website, giving you the data to buy with confidence.
Condition Reports
Manheim Assured offers buyers peace of mind through a comprehensive vehicle
check for cars. Our team of industry-qualified technicians inspect the mechanical
condition of many vehicles before they are offered for sale at auction.
A comprehensive report is produced as part of the car’s inspection report, covering
15 different points. We check in areas such as the engine, transmission, steering and
brakes. If the vehicle isn’t as described it can be returned for repair of refund.
Manheim Assured
We’re building the best client service experience possible. We pride ourselves on
making it easy for clients everyday. We’re leveraging data to drive meaningful and
