Included with every pack

What is a Trusted Dealer listing?

When a buyer near you runs a free check on a car they are about to buy, your dealership shows up on their report so they can call you straight from the page. No ads, no bidding, no middleman.

How a buyer finds you

Someone runs a CarCostCheck on a reg, then reads the vehicle data to decide whether to buy. If your forecourt is inside your pack's radius, your listing shows in that panel, and they tap straight through to your phone or website.

  • Peak intent: they are buying a car right now, not idly scrolling
  • No pay-per-click, no impressions, no per-lead fee, no auction
  • They reach you directly, with no AutoTrader between you and the sale
  • Runs a fixed window from purchase: 1 month under 100 credits, 2 months at 100+

How it works

1

Add your details

Enter your dealership location and website on your trade dashboard. Takes about 30 seconds.

2

Buyers near you see you

When someone within your radius runs a check on a car, your dealership is shown to them as a trusted dealer.

3

They get in touch

They visit your website or call you directly. No middleman, and no fee per lead.

Bigger pack, wider reach

Reach is the area of a circle, so doubling the radius covers four times the ground. A 100-mile listing reaches roughly 25 times the area of a 20-mile one, and bigger packs list you for longer.

HPI, AA and RAC consumer per-check prices shown above. HPI TradeWeb (£72/yr + £65 joining fee, ~£3.75/check) and RAC Dealer Services (from £3.69/check) can narrow the gap at volume, but both require accounts, contracts, or joining fees. Our worst rate (£3.99) beats HPI TradeWeb once their fees are counted, our best rate (£2.59, or £2.33 during the Early Bird sale) beats every published trade rate from the big brands. We win when you want no contract, no joining fee, and credits that never expire.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does your data come from?

Free checks use official DVSA and DVLA data. Premium vehicle checks use data provided by Experian, the same data source used by major providers.

Do I need a contract or monthly commitment?

No. Every pack is a one-time purchase and the credits never expire. There is no subscription, no joining fee, and no minimum commitment. Top up whenever you need to.

How does the Early Bird sale work?

Every pack is 10% off during the launch period. The price you see on the card is the Early Bird price, already discounted, with nothing to type. When the countdown hits zero, prices return to standard automatically.

How fresh is the vehicle data?

Every premium check is fetched live from Experian. If you re-check the same plate within 24 hours we serve the same response (no second credit charged for stale data, and finance / stolen fields rarely change inside a day). After 24 hours we always refetch.

What if a check fails or comes back with no data?

We refund the credit automatically. You only ever pay for a check that returns real vehicle data.

How does the Trusted Dealer directory work?

Once you set your forecourt postcode + a short profile on the trade dashboard and tick "list me in the directory", you appear in the "Trusted dealers near you" panel on every CCC vehicle report when the buyer is within your pack's radius. Each pack grants a fixed listing window from the purchase date, whatever your credit balance: 10 Pack 20 mi, 25 Pack 35 mi, 50 Pack 50 mi (1 month each), 100 Pack 75 mi and 200 Pack 100 mi (2 months each). Buyers click through to your public profile to call you or visit your website. You also get a shareable URL: carcostcheck.co.uk/dealer/your-dealership. Buy another pack any time to refresh or upgrade the window.

Can I use this at auction?

Yes. Checks are instant and work on any device. Run a free check on your phone in seconds while you are viewing a vehicle.

What if I need more than 200 checks?

Get in touch using the form above and we will put together a custom package for you.
