For Dealers
We come to your yard, triage your hardest European vehicles at no cost, and give you a clear report so your team can make a confident, data-backed decision.
Every dealership has them — European vehicles sitting in the yard, resisting diagnosis, tying up capital and floor space. Whether it’s a persistent fault code no one can crack, a classic that’s been passed over twice, or a trade-in your team simply can’t price with confidence, these vehicles have a cost every day they don’t move.
Prime AutoBase’s Dead-Stock Trial puts our technicians in your yard at zero cost to you. We’ll triage one or two of your most challenging vehicles using targeted European diagnostic tools — classics included — and hand you a clear, one-page written report per vehicle. No obligation, no invoice. If the findings lead you to restore the vehicle, we’d love to handle the repair work; if not, you simply walk away better informed.
A plain-language breakdown of the actual fault — what it is, where it sits, and why it has been difficult to pin down. No jargon, no guesswork.
A direct recommendation from our specialists on whether restoring the vehicle makes commercial sense, so your team can act with confidence rather than uncertainty.
Likely repair steps laid out in order, with parts options across OEM and OES suppliers — giving you a realistic picture of what a restoration actually involves.
Honest, realistic expectations for time and cost upfront — because surprises belong nowhere near a repair budget or a sales forecast.
The vehicles that end up on your dead-stock list are usually there because someone has already spent time and money swapping expensive assemblies without finding the real answer. Our philosophy is the opposite: we go after the root cause first, every time. With more than 30 years of deep European-vehicle experience across the team, the “unsolvable” cases are genuinely our bread and butter — from late-model German diagnostics to ageing British and Italian classics that factory scan tools simply can’t speak to.
We already support a number of New Zealand dealerships through programmes like this one, and we’ve built flexible production and financial processes to work alongside your existing operations without disruption. If you’re ready to stop guessing and start moving inventory, the Dead-Stock Trial is the lowest-risk way to see what we can do.
