Volvo dealership’s bigger and better after £2m revamp

A SCOTTISH Volvo dealership is once again open to the public after a £2million refurbishment was completed despite the challenges posed by the Covid crisis.

Volvo Cars Dundee now features a new state-of-the-art showroom – having moved from Macadam Place to Rurtherford Road on the Dryburgh Industrial Estate – previously home to John Clark BMW Tayside.

The new space includes a signature lounge area complete with Scandinavian-designed furniture, which allows visitors to relax with Swedish cakes and coffee or carry on working with free wi-fi.

Large exterior and interior glazing creates a seamless transition between the showroom and workshops, allowing customers to see all vehicle activities from what feels like the comfort of a living room.

Helping combat the climate emergency and ahead of Volvo’s commitment to become a fully electric car maker by 2030, the new showroom features six EV charging points with 1200kW for direct fast charging, designed to cater for its growing range of new and used electric vehicles.

The retailer’s expansion allows a greater display of petrol, fully electric and hybrid cars, as well as Volvo Selekt Approved Used models on the forecourt. More than 100 different checks ensure these vehicles are not just safe but performing to the highest standard, with the latest Volvo parts and software.

Volvo Cars Dundee is also continuing to offer a streamlined experience to owners that has been proven to halve waiting times.

The new Volvo Personal Service sees the same technician liaising with the customer from the point of booking, right through to explaining the services that they themselves have carried out.

Two technicians work together on each car, reducing the time it takes for the service to be carried out.

Bryan Muir, head of business at John Clark Motor Group, Volvo Cars Dundee, said: “We are delighted to officially open the doors to our new home, not least because this impressive development reflects our commitment to improving customer experiences and efficiency.

“After the record-breaking successes of our new Volvo models over the last year, we felt this was the perfect time to invest in an impressive new showroom that puts electrification at the forefront of our approach. With six EV charging points and an ultra-modern interior, the future of motoring has certainly arrived at Volvo Cars Dundee.

“We look forward to welcoming prospective and current customers along for a cup of coffee, to discuss their purchasing and servicing needs and the future of electrification.”
