Drive Motor Retail, a UK car retailer, has a presence in North Yorkshire with the opening of a standalone MG dealership in Sautomobileborough.
It marks a strategic departure from the previous setup, in which the MG and Hyundai brands shared a single location in Scarborough, and now provides an engaged presence that caters in particular to the brand’s offerings.
The new MG dealership is owned by Drive’s existing Hyundai dealership on Seamer Road.
In addition to retail sales, a Motability team will be available to provide expert recommendations on adaptive vehicles.
Maintenance and repair facilities, controlled by experienced technicians, will also be part of the site’s offering. This includes MOT testing and a variety of MG parts and accessories, which will be at the existing Hyundai Drive dealership in Scarborough.
Drive MG Scarborough Managing Director Carl Prescott said: “We are very pleased to announce the opening of our prestigious new MG dealership in Scarborough. This marks a vital milestone for Drive as we continue to expand across the UK.
“I am very happy to welcome my committed team to the table, adding our new Showroom Manager, Dave Clarkson, who brings a wealth of experience gained with famous brands such as Land Rover and a giant Vauxhall franchise.
Nationally, Drive Motor Retail has a turnover of around £400 million a year and employs more than 800 people across 23 dealerships across the country.
