The Sinclair Group has opened its second Škoda dealership in Newport.
Following its acquisition of the previous Škoda franchise in Newport operated by Mon Motors, the Group has relocated the business to Corporation Road. Here the all-new Sinclair Škoda Newport will operate alongside its sister Volkswagen retailer.
Andy Sinclair, Managing Director at Sinclair Group, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to strengthen our association with Škoda which we have proudly represented in Swansea since 2009 and we’re delighted to enhance our presence in Newport where our Volkswagen team has already built a phenomenal reputation.
“Our site in Corporation Road has been an integral and important part of the business for many years and our investment to create a magnificent dual-branded location will ensure this continues by generating even more interest, footfall and custom not only now but way into the future.”
The site offers the very finest facilities and a retail experience to customers with a new-look showroom and purpose-built service centre.
Both Škoda and Volkswagen are now represented with their own dedicated sales areas within the existing showroom which has been reconfigured and redesigned.
The Škoda showroom is located to the right where visitors will be able to view a quartet of halo models each accompanied by a digital information stand.
Complementing the contemporary environment is an interactive screen which enables customers to configure any Škoda in which they are interested.
The Volkswagen showroom has also been treated to a technology upgrade offering customers a digital showroom experience.
Drivers will still be able to purchase fuel from the location via 24-hour pay-at-the-pump facilities.
However, the main petrol station shop has been replaced by a state-of-the-art service centre offering full, manufacturer-approved aftersales capability for servicing, maintenance, MOTs and repairs.
Sinclair Škoda Newport will be staffed by a 10-strong team, which includes staff who have transferred from the previous Mon Motors business.
