Following the government’s easing of lockdown restrictions and careful preparations we are pleased to advise our workshops, showrooms and used car forecourts have now reopened.

This means we are able to offer all of our usual services including:

Sales departments and workshops have returned to normal opening hours for most of our locations including in areas affected by local lockdown. We have kept our Wigan locations closed. You can find details of what dealerships are open and not, plus videos demonstrating the safety measures at each of our sites, below.

Open Locations

While our workshops and sales departments are open, in this current pandemic, the safety of both our customers and our staff remains our priority. In these current circumstances, we have taken a number of steps to find a new normal so that we can keep things moving while keeping everyone safe. We will be regularly reviewing and updating these steps in line with government and scientific advice. Our workshops and showrooms are clearly signposted to ensure compliance with the recommended social distancing regulations. We would kindly ask customers to respect these whilst visiting our premises.

In addition, we have also made the following changes to how we operate:

When visiting the showroom, please come with a maximum of one family member. For workshop appointments, please come alone where possible.

Hand sanitiser will be available in all of our dealerships. We will unfortunately not be offering handshakes but will greet you in our normal friendly manner​

Cars and open areas will be cleaned more regularly. Cars will be locked and we are asking customers to keep a distance from and not to touch cars or displays.​

We will be limiting the number of people in the dealership. No refreshments will be served in the dealership, but you are welcome to bring your own.

All of our staff are temperature checked daily and this service is also available to customers.

Customers must wear Face Coverings within our premises. This includes customers who are in our showrooms, service reception and waiting areas, and at our parts counters. Please bring your own face covering and put it on before coming inside.

Following the more recent government announcement, all staff will also be wearing face coverings when in a customer facing area. This applies, even when they are positioned behind a screen.

We will only When visiting the showroom, please follow the "General guidance whilst visiting the Dealership" above.​

Test drives are available, via appointment only. These will be unaccompanied to ensure social distancing. This will require further security checks prior to the vehicle being test driven so will only be offered if booked in advance. The vehicle will be cleaned and sanitised before and after the test drive and will have protective seat and steering wheel covers throughout the test drive. Due to the extra insurance requirements, we cannot guarantee that performance vehicles will be availabe to test drive.

In the current environment, for all test drive requests we prefer to have 24 hours' notice to allow for preparation, cleaning and sanitisation of the vehicle. We are able to fast track appointments in a shorter timescale subject to determining the availability of the vehicle and staff on site.
