A car dealership in Bury has been recognised with an industry award.

Evans Halshaw Ford Bury on Crostons Road has achieved the gold standard in customer service after securing online site Auto Trader’s "Highly Rated" status for this year. 

A significant accolade in the automotive sector, the awards are based on the reviews and feedback from Auto Trader customers over the past year.  

Winning retailers must meet set criteria to achieve the award, which includes maintaining an average review rating of at least four stars on Auto Trader's marketplace. 

Kim Costello, chief customer officer at Pendragon, the firm which operates the delaership, said: “We are delighted to be able to display the Highly Rated award at Evans Halshaw Ford Bury, following a year of incredible customer service and aftercare.

"The awards confirm the positive experience so many car buyers have with us, and our commitment to exceptional customer service across every single Evans Halshaw, Stratstone and CarStore location.”
