The business has grown to become a trusted dealer within the locality and beyond with a reputation for the quality of its cars, competitive prices and excellent after sales care.
The business operates from a highprofile leasehold location with superb facilities and highly visible forecourt frontage, being situated on a main road. The site location is a real asset of this business. Many current customers have been loyal to the business since the beginning and this has been due in no small part to the businesss specialist nature, competitive prices, quality products, service and attention to detail.

Expansion Potential
