Not been to our auctions for a while? I bet you'd be amazed by the quality of vehicles being sold. Come along to the forecourt to see our ever-evolving selection of cars.
A fast, straightforward way for dealerships and motor traders to sell vehicles at auction
We work with dealerships, motor traders, fleet operators and businesses across the South East to make selling used and part-exchange vehicles as simple and efficient as possible.
Our trade vehicle remarketing service is built around the things that matter: fast collection, fast sale and fast payment, backed by a dedicated team you can speak to when you need us.
We hold general car auctions every Tuesday and Thursday, with dedicated commercial vehicle auctions taking place fortnightly on Thursdays.
Whether you have a handful of part-exchange vehicles to move or need a regular remarketing partner for larger volumes, we’ll work with you to build a service around your requirements.
Vehicle remarketing tailored to your business
Every dealership works differently, so our trade service isn’t one-size-fits-all.
The first step is understanding your requirements, volumes and ways of working. From there, we can develop a straightforward process for collection, valuation, auction entry, sale and payment.
Our customers value the speed of the service, but also the personal approach. Rather than dealing with an anonymous system, you’ll have a team you know and can contact directly for knowledgeable, practical support.
If you’re looking for a new way to manage part-exchange vehicles or used stock, we’d be pleased to talk about how Hobbs Parker could support your vehicle remarketing.
How our trade car auction service works
When you have a part-exchange or used vehicle to sell, you generally want three things: to get it off-site quickly, achieve the right price and receive payment without unnecessary delay.
That’s exactly what our process is designed to do.
- Tell us about your vehicle (here)
Let our trade team know what you have available for sale. - We arrange collection
Collection is usually within 48 hours and can often be arranged on the same day. - We advise on value
Our experienced auctioneers advise on the likely sale value, helping you set an appropriate reserve. We can also discuss valuation before collection if preferred. - We enter it into the next suitable auction
General car auctions take place every Tuesday and Thursday, giving us regular opportunities to get vehicles in front of buyers quickly.
Commercial vehicles are sold in dedicated fortnightly Thursday auctions.
- You get paid
Payment is made promptly following the auction, helping you maintain cash flow and free up valuable space at your premises.

“Our previous method of trading cars was taking too much of our salesman’s time. Selling by auction has worked out really well for us. Being able to call upon Jon and James to advise on trade-in pricing has been a big plus.”

New to Hobbs Parker? Try us with a few vehicles
We understand that it’s difficult to judge a new vehicle remarketing partner until you’ve actually experienced the service.
Several of our long-standing trade customers started by simply sending us a few vehicles.
That’s why we make it easy to try Hobbs Parker before making us a regular part of your remarketing process.
Our current welcome offer includes collection and sale of your first five cars free of charge.
