The 海角视频’s largest independent car retailer says it has saved customers working for the NHS £140,000 during lockdown.
Motorpoint, which has branches throughout England, Scotland and Wales, launched a discount scheme in late April as a thank you to the country’s health and care workers.
Since then it said almost 500 people have taken advantage of the £300 discount available plus an option of free home delivery.

The business, which is based in the West Meadows Industrial Estate, Derby, said the Ford Fiesta was the most popular car purchased by NHS staff.
In total the 474 health and care workers who have used the scheme have saved themselves £142,400.
Motorpoint, which fully re-opened all of its branches in June, has implemented Covid-19 safeguarding procedures, from unaccompanied test drives through to contactless collections in branch in specially designated areas and home delivery to anywhere in the 海角视频 mainland.
It has also launched an online portal to ensure buying a car can be completely paperless.
Motorpoint chief executive Mark Carpenter said: “We were keen to show our appreciation to all the health and care workers in our communities who have been doing such an incredible job in very testing circumstances.

“We decided to launch our discount offer in late April as a small way of saying thank you from everyone at Motorpoint for everything they have done for us.
“We have been taken aback with the response to the scheme through May and June and are absolutely thrilled that we have been able to support NHS staff up and down the country by helping almost 500 people save a combined £142,200 on the cost of their next car from Motorpoint.
“Although the discount scheme has now ended Motorpoint will continue to offer free home delivery to all NHS health and care workers in the 海角视频 mainland backed by our 14-day money back guarantee.”
After the Fiesta, the next most popular cars for NHS staff were the Nissan Juke and Fiat 500.
The business, which operates in Birmingham, Birtley, Burnley, Castleford, Chingford, Derby, Glasgow, Newport, Oldbury, Peterborough, Sheffield, Swansea and Widnes, employs more than 800 people.
