ISUZU D-MAX NAMED BEST ALL-TERRAIN WORKHORSE BY FLEET NEWS AWARDS 2023
The Isuzu D-Max has once again received the title of ‘Best All-Terrain Workhorse’ from the Fleet News Awards 2023, with the honour being handed over during the awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on March 15th.
Defending the title from 2022, the Isuzu D-Max excelled in the award category thanks to its exceptional reliability, as well as its jack-of-all-trades versatility and capability. Combining good on and off-road handling, as well as the impressive 1-tonne payload and 3.5-tonne towing capacity, the pick-up received praise for being an excellent fleet option, particularly when considering the reasonable cost and notable warranty. The award is one of 38 awards this year, each shining light on the various aspects of automotive fleet. The Fleet News Awards are the fleet industry's most prestigious and sought-after awards.
At the close of 2022, in a sector where overall sales were significantly down, Isuzu UK recorded a sales increase of 17.89% over 2021. Thanks to its critical acclaim, presales of the Multi-Award-Winning D-Max were very positive throughout 2021 and 2022, with 34% of the average sales mix for the pick-up consisting of the Business range model, despite the V-Cross remaining the brand’s best-seller.

The award judges commented, “The D-Max is a true workhorse which excels in the utilities and agricultural sectors. It is robust, high quality and very reliable, but also drives well and is backed by an excellent five-year warranty with a competitive total cost of ownership.”
Alan Able, Isuzu UK’s Managing Director, said: “It is both warming and rewarding to see the Isuzu D-Max receive this award once again, extending the list of awards attributed to this exceptional vehicle. As Pick-Up Professionals, we understand the importance of providing bespoke services that cater to the unique pick-up needs of each client, and our fleet team has played an integral role in achieving this.

6 STARS !!
We recently purchased a car, sight-unseen, from Premier Isuzu & Select Used Cars Manchester. I dealt with a very competent, polite & professional sales chap, called Jourdan. Figures were agreed, finance signed & sealed and the car delivered to us, free of charge ! Based 200 miles away & purchasing an expensive car without viewing first is always a concern, especially when doing it for the first time ! Such is the modern, click & collect world, I suppose. Jourdan was transparent, open and honest throughout, answering all of our questions and making us feel completely at ease. On arrival, the car really did exceed our expectations. It was prepared & presented to a very high standard, as promised, and all paperwork was present & correct. Highly commend Jourdan for a sterling job, his hard work & efficiency. Thank you. Couldn’t be happier & wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Premier Isuzu & Select used cars !

KIA SPORTAGE FROM ROCHDALE BRANCH
I contacted this Kia branch on Thursday1st of March, I had seen a Sportage on their website, the gentleman I spoke with was Charley Murton. He explained the car was a former demonstrator, I had been surprised to see a latest generation Sportage for sale so soon. I explained I wished to part exchange my current vehicle against a prospective purchase. I went to the dealership the following Tuesday, Charley was very welcoming and offered me a coffee, I needed it after having been at the mercy of a satnav for over an hour. He made me a very welcome offer on my vehicle and then we went for a test drive. Loved the car straight away. The negotiations were done professionally and efficiently, he then sorted out delivery to my home the following day, amazingly quickly. I have contacted him a couple of times since with a few questions he has continued to be extremely helpful each time. I am very impressed with this dealership and Charley in particular. A note to Charley your directions to get me home we’re spot on no need for the satnav and a half hour quicker!!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE
From start to finish our experience of Premier Automobiles excellent. Our salesman Neil was professional, friendly and helpful and he made the buying experience easy. He talked us through the whole process, ensuring that we had all the information we required to help us decide on the right car for us. Despite being further away than other dealerships, we felt the journey to Premier was worth the extra mileage. Neil's honest, no flannel approach was reassuring and we will definitely go back to Premier in the future. In fact, we will be using their service department for our annual services.
