Manheim Auctions is working in partnership with Hendy Group to develop a vehicle reconditioning programme.

The programme sees Manheim appraising vehicles from Hendy Group’s seven dealerships and selecting those that will benefit from refurbishment. Work from full valets to smart repair and dent removal has been carried out on over 90 cars during the initial three- month period.

Alan Cureton, dealer sales director Manheim Auctions, says: “We are constantly advising our customers that investing in vehicle reconditioning will improve auction performance. By choosing the right vehicles and the right level of work, residual values consistently rise, sometimes by hundreds of pounds.”
