How to Get a Free Car Valuation with Simon Shield Cars
How to Get a Free Car Valuation with Simon Shield Cars
If you’re thinking about selling your car or part exchanging it, we’ve made things a whole lot easier. Our brand new online valuation form is now live on our website — and it’s the quickest way to find out what your car’s worth with no pressure and no hidden catches.
We’ve been buying and selling used cars in Ipswich since 1996, so we know how important it is to get an honest, straightforward valuation. Here’s how our new system works — and a few tips to help you get the best possible price.
Step 1: Fill in the Valuation Form
You’ll find the form under the “Sell or Part Exchange” page on our website. It only takes a couple of minutes to complete, and the more detail you give, the more accurate our valuation will be.
Here’s what we’ll ask for:
-
Your car’s registration – this helps us identify the exact model and spec.
-
Make, model, and mileage – so we can compare it with current market prices.
-
Service history and MOT date – a full history often adds value.
-
Condition and any extra details – tell us about any recent work, upgrades, or marks we should know about.
Once you’ve submitted the form, Simon will review your details and get in touch, usually within one working day.
Step 2: How We Value Your Car
We use a mix of real-world experience and current market data to arrive at your valuation. That means:
-
Checking similar cars currently for sale and recently sold in the UK.
-
Factoring in mileage, service records, condition, and specification.
-
Taking into account local demand — for example, automatics and low-emission cars are often in higher demand right now.
We don’t use automated “instant” prices that can mislead you — every valuation is looked at personally by Simon, so you can be confident it’s realistic and fair.
Step 3: Receive Your Offer
Once we’ve reviewed your information, we’ll send you our best offer. There’s no obligation — you can take your time to decide. If you’d like to move ahead, we’ll arrange an appointment at our dealership to view the car, confirm the condition, and complete the paperwork.
Step 4: Sell or Part Exchange
If you’re happy with the price, we’ll handle everything else — from the DVLA paperwork to fast payment. You can either sell your car outright or part exchange it against one of the quality used cars we currently have in stock.
