Vehicle Care Fee

Complete Transparency. Exceptional Preparation.

At Oakdene Collection, we believe every customer should understand exactly what they're paying for.

Our Vehicle Care Fee covers the considerable time, expertise and resources invested into preparing every vehicle to the standards we're known for.

Unlike many dealers, our preparation doesn't stop with a wash and a quick inspection. Every vehicle is carefully assessed, mechanically inspected, professionally detailed and supported by our experienced team before it is offered for sale.

This page explains exactly what's included.

Professional Vehicle Preparation

Every vehicle undergoes an extensive preparation programme before it reaches our showroom. This includes:

• Comprehensive mechanical inspection
• Manufacturer-level diagnostic health checks
• Road testing
• Professional detailing
• Paint decontamination
• Three-stage machine polishing where required
• Final quality control inspection
• New Oakdene Collection branded reg plates

Only when a vehicle meets our standards is it made available for sale.

Where available we verify:

• Service history

• Mileage records
• Finance and theft checks

Providing complete confidence before you drive away.

In-House Warranty Administration

We'll ensure your vehicle is fully prepared, professionally valeted and ready to enjoy from the moment you arrive.

Our aim is for every handover to feel as special as the vehicle itself.

Continued Customer Support

Why We Charge a Vehicle Care Fee

Preparing prestige vehicles to the standard expected at Oakdene Collection requires significant investment in skilled technicians, specialist equipment, administration and customer support.

Rather than hiding these costs within inflated vehicle prices, we choose to be transparent about exactly what our Vehicle Care Fee provides.

We believe this represents outstanding value while ensuring every customer receives the premium buying experience that defines Oakdene Collection.
