Drive Motor Retail unveils redeveloped Darlington site
Drive Motor Retail has cut the ribbon on a newly redeveloped Vauxhall dealership in Darlington following a multi-million investment.
The new site, one of the first Vauxhall sites to feature the brand’s new logo, features a modernised showroom and expanded sales and aftersales facilities. These include 18 workshop bays and an MOT bay to enable the site to offer manufacturer-approved servicing, MOTs, and repairs.
Also representing Fiat & Abarth, Peugeot, Citroën, and Leapmotor, bringing six Stellantis brands together under one roof, the new site has created 13 new roles across the business, including positions in sales, aftersales, technical, and site operations.
Eurig Druce, Vauxhall managing director and Stellantis UK group managing director, said: “The opening of the newly redeveloped Drive Vauxhall Darlington site is an important addition to our retail network. It provides customers in the region with a modern sales and aftersales facility, while being among the first Vauxhall retailers to feature our new logo. We look forward to customers experiencing the new site and the latest Vauxhall range.”
Steve Bessex, Drive Motor Retail managing director and chairman, added: “We’re excited to open our redeveloped Vauxhall retailer in Darlington following a significant investment in the site. The new facilities provide a modern environment for our customers and colleagues and support our continued growth in the region.”
