Sound familiar?
Every dealer we work with came to us with the same frustrations.
A sold car sitting at auction for 3 days waiting for transport is 3 days of dead capital. At an average stock value of £15k, that's real money stuck in limbo while your customer grows impatient.
Your customer says the car arrived scratched. Your transport company says it was already there. Without timestamped condition photos at both ends, you're the one paying every time.
Your sales team shouldn't spend 30 minutes per vehicle chasing a driver who won't answer. That's time they could be closing deals, not playing dispatcher.
Miss the collection window at BCA or Manheim and you're paying £15 to £30 per day in storage. On 10 cars a month, that's up to £9,000 a year off your bottom line.

Dealer reviews
Don't take our word for it. Here's what the dealers who use us every week have to say.
"We use OVM for all our auction collections and customer deliveries. They're reliable, the digital proof is brilliant for our records, and they've never let us down. Wouldn't use anyone else."
"Switched to OVM after our previous transport company damaged a car with no proof either way. The condition reports alone are worth it. Saved us thousands in disputes already."
"Same-day collection from BCA and the car was at our showroom by close of business. That speed keeps our stock turning and our customers happy. OVM just gets it done."
