Ford has teamed up with Autonative its ecommerce aftersales partner and vehicle dismantler Charles Trent to launch the Ford Certified Used Parts online store.
The platform brings together Ford’s engineering and quality standards, Charles Trent’s expertise in vehicle dismantling and inspection and Autonative’s digital know how.
Rebecca Smart, managing director of Autonative, said: “This is about removing friction from the process. Customers know what they need, but until now, accessing quality used parts hasn’t always been straightforward.
“By bringing everything into one place, with clear standards, full transparency on what you’re buying, and dedicated support behind it, we’re creating an experience that matches how customers expect to shop for new parts — without compromise.”
Each part listed on the platform is individually inspected, graded and photographed, so customers can see exactly what they are purchasing before completing their order.
Components are offered across two grades, giving a clear choice depending on preference, while maintaining consistent fit and function.
Sarah Brettle, director at Ford’s customer service division in the UK, said: “Ford Certified Used Parts is an extension of Ford’s existing product offering, designed to ensure affordability throughout the vehicle lifecycle. This programme is designed to deliver quality, value and convenience.”
