Covid-19 Business Update
Last updated: Monday 12th April 2021
We’re fully open!
We’re pleased to confirm that our dealerships are fully open and we’ve introduced a number of safety measures and new buying options to make our business a safe place to shop.
Whether you’re visiting us for vehicle aftersales or to purchase your next car, we want to reassure you that you can do so with confidence in knowing that the safety of our customers and our team is of utmost importance. Below is a summary of the safety measures we’ve put in place and please watch our video to find out more.
Safety Measures
Pre-booked appointments only
Since the first lockdown, we’ve operated by appointment only in an effort to limit the number of showroom visitors at one time. If you’re planning to visit our dealerships for sales or servicing, please book an appointment first.
Sanitiser stations
Complimentary personal protective equipment (PPE) is available upon entry, including hand sanitiser, disposable facemasks and latex gloves.
Staff PPE
All customer-facing staff will be wearing face coverings while helping customers.
Protective screens
On sales desks and service reception we’ve installed clear perspex screens.
One-way systems
Simple changes have been made to our showroom layouts with clearly marked out floor signs reinforcing social distancing rules to keep customers separate.
Aftersales
Our service teams are fully committed to keeping our customers and their cars safe and are now taking extra measures to follow government guidelines on social distancing.
Staggered appointments
To reduce the number of visitors at one time we are staggering workshop bookings.
Staff PPE
Our service team will be wearing face coverings while our technicians will be wearing clean gloves when working on customer vehicles.
Drop & go
At service reception, we have key trays to allow contactless key drop-off and so we can sanitise your car keys before and after use.
Video vehicle health check
Your vehicle health check will be sent via email or SMS, including an inspection video, a cost estimate, and the facility to authorise the work remotely.
Waiting areas
Service visitors can still wait in our showrooms while work is carried out on their vehicles, although the number of seats available has been reduced and the waiting areas spaced out.
Courtesy cars
If you’re unable to wait, our courtesy vehicles are cleaned and sanitised before and after use.
Collection & delivery
Where possible we may be able to collect your car and return it back to your home or work.
Contactless payment
Wherever possible please pay by contactless or card.
Sales
We’ve made changes to traditional services and launched new car buying options to make purchasing your next car safe and easy.
24/7 contact
Get in touch with us online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via our website, email, live chat or Facebook messenger.
Virtual forecourt

Virtual appointments
Connect with our team face-to-face via video chat to discuss your next potential car or if you’d like a demonstration of a specific feature. Simply ‘Book a Virtual Appointment’ and connect with us on Facetime, WhatsApp or Zoom live video.
Click & Collect

Contactless paperwork
We offer completely paperless transactions without the need to sign any hard copy documentation.
