Drive Motor Retail cuts ribbon on £3m Darlington upgrade
Drive Motor Retail has unveiled its newly redeveloped Darlington dealership, following an investment of over £3m.
The redevelopment brings together seven vehicle brands under one roof, including Citroën, Peugeot, Fiat, Abarth, Vauxhall, Leapmotor and MG.
It also features five manufacturer showrooms, significantly expanded workshop facilities and space to display more than 130 used vehicles.
The redevelopment has created over 10 new jobs, with additional recruitment ongoing for skilled technicians.
Jeff Parkin, general manager at Drive Motor Retail Darlington, said: “This redevelopment marks an exciting new chapter for our Darlington dealership. After more than 20 years, the site has been completely transformed into a modern automotive centre that brings together an exceptional range of brands and services.
“By investing in the dealership, we’ve been able to create a much better experience for our customers, whether they’re visiting to explore new vehicles, browse our used car selection or have their car serviced.
“We’re particularly proud that this investment is also creating new job opportunities in the area and helping strengthen our presence in Darlington for many years to come. It’s fantastic to finally see the redevelopment complete, and we’re looking forward to welcoming customers to the new site.”
