Click & Collect
Contactless Collection for New and Used Vehicles
Rates Group - Click & Collect or Home Delivery
Given the recent developments, we have updated the way we work and are very happy to be able to assist our customers with vehicle purchasing remotely. We have a dedicated Click & Collect Centre and offer FREE Local Home Delivery (10 mile radius).
This also means that all paperwork can now be completed over the phone or by email, rather you having to visit our dealership in person. For many people this has been a very positive change, giving customers a faster and easier route to getting their New or used vehicle, however we want to reassure all of our customers that they will continue to receive a dedicated service and enjoy all of protections that come from purchasing a vehicle through us. We still offer the same fantastic deals, the only difference is that paperwork and payments can now be done over the phone and by email instead if you so choose.
A remote test drive involves a member of our sales team providing you with a personal walk around video or a video call we can answer any questions at the same time.
If you prefer to physically drive a vehicle then we can deliver a demonstrator vehicle to your home for you to drive.
Rest assured all our demonstrator vehicles are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
