At the heart of 1st Call’s service is a varied selection of quality used cars and vans to suit different uses and budgets. Car prices typically start from around £995 and used vans from around £1,495, giving first-time buyers, commuters and tradespeople realistic options without compromising on safety or reliability. Every vehicle is given a thorough safety inspection and supplied with a fresh 12-month MOT, helping to ensure roadworthiness and peace of mind from day one. A 3-month warranty is included as standard, with the first month covering parts and labour and the following two months covering labour, with parts available at cost, and part-exchange is welcome with fair, competitive valuations against your next vehicle.

Comprehensive vehicle servicing and repairs

+ More

To keep customers on the road for longer, 1st Call provides in-house servicing for cars and vans on the Isle of Wight. Routine maintenance such as oil and filter changes, brake checks and general health checks can be carried out alongside more involved work, including cambelt replacements. All servicing is completed by experienced technicians in their own workshop, so vehicles are checked, repaired and prepared to the business’s own standards before handover.

MOT preparation and safety checks

+ More

Vehicle safety and legal compliance are key priorities at 1st Call. The team offers MOT preparation and related safety checks to help ensure each vehicle is ready for its annual test. Sales vehicles are supplied with a fresh MOT certificate and have already undergone a comprehensive inspection in the on-site workshop, giving buyers extra reassurance that essential items have been checked before they drive away.

Professional valeting and presentation

+ More

Presentation matters, and 1st Call supports this with professional valeting services to bring vehicles up to a high cosmetic standard. Interior and exterior areas are cleaned and detailed so that customers step into a car or van that looks and feels as close to new as possible. This level of preparation helps create a more welcoming driving environment and adds value to every purchase or hire.

Loan vehicles for added convenience

+ More

Understanding that customers still need to stay mobile while their vehicle is being prepared, 1st Call can provide loan vehicles, subject to terms, conditions and availability. This is particularly helpful for buyers who are not part-exchanging a vehicle but still require transport while their new car or van goes through preparation, MOT and valeting. It reflects the company’s focus on convenience and keeping disruption to a minimum.
