Aston Barclay has adopted the new GardX SpinCar technology as part of its vehicle inspection process.

GardX SpinCar is an imaging product which is aimed as speeding up the process of searching and locating stock for buyers. It gives buyers a 360-degree view of the used car’s exterior and interior with a zoom facility to enable them to take a closer inspection of any part of the car.

Internal images are taken by a Ricoh two lens device that quickly captures images of the interior both front & rear from between the front-seats.

Aston Barclay’s group IT director, Stewart Ford, commented, “We know from experience that high-quality images are critical for online and mobile buyers when they are buying remotely. Buyers will particularly welcome the zoom facility which enables them to carry out their own detailed due diligence on a car’s condition prior to a sale.”

“The investment in our own imaging bays and turntables has made the adoption of SpinCar technology possible and we expect online bids and sales to increase dramatically. Look out for more tech initiatives over the coming months as we continue to roll out our digital remarketing strategy.”

The new technology is now in use at the Westbury and Donington Park sites on all fleet and dealer inspections. It is expected to replace Aston Barclay’s current imaging software across the five-branch network in due course.
