Chipping Sodbury Motor Company opens its doors to SsangYong

SsangYong Motors UK is pleased to announce the addition of Chipping Sodbury Motor Company to its nationwide dealer network. Its purpose-built showroom is ideally located just off the High Street in Chipping Sodbury, just ten minutes from Junction 18 of the M4 and forty minutes from Bristol.

Chipping Sodbury Motor Company has been a family-owned business since 1967, when it was started by the grandparents of the current dealer principal and business owner, David Powell. Initially part of the Vauxhall franchise, the business has grown and is now operating the SsangYong brand and is a Ford main dealer and Fiat authorised Repairer.

To celebrate their integration into the SsangYong family, Chipping Sodbury Motor Group will be holding a welcome event on Thursday the 6^th of October. They are inviting customers, local businesses and the local media to their showroom to browse their range of SsangYong vehicles. Refreshments will be served throughout the event.

Kevin Griffin, managing director at SsangYong Motor UK, said: “Chipping Sodbury Motor Company is yet another fantastic addition to our SsangYong family. The team there prides itself on delivering consistently high levels of customer service. We look forward to working with the team and wish them every success.”

In addition to ample parking, the showroom offers customers a relaxing waiting area with free WIFI, tea and coffee making facilities, TV and a selection of newspapers and magazines. The showroom is ideally located for customers who would prefer to take a five-minute stroll onto the High Street in Chipping Sodbury, where a selection of shops, cafes and restaurants can be found, many of which are independent, although Waitrose is located just an eight-minute walk or three-minute drive from the showroom.

David Powell, dealer principal at Chipping Sodbury Motor Company, commented; “Being based in the rural county of South Gloucestershire, the team at Chipping Sodbury Motor Company were keen to work with a forward-thinking manufacturer that offers a range of models to meet the needs of local customers. SsangYong’s multiple award-winning range of SUVs and pick-ups, together with their 7-year warranty, and its reputation as manufacturer that focusses on dealer relations have been key factors in choosing to take on the SsangYong franchise. We look forward to a long and healthy relationship.”
