Bristol Street Motors has opened a new Nissan dealership in Stockton, expanding its Nissan representation in Tees Valley and bringing a wealth of automotive expertise and jobs to the community.

The new Bristol Street Motors Stockton Nissan dealership is situated at the well-established Preston Farm Industrial Estate, and is a transformation of the brand’s previous Stockton Motornation site into a dedicated Nissan business.

This exciting development introduces a state-of-the-art facility that will offer an array of services including the sale of new vehicles, such as the innovative Nissan LEAF and the stylish Nissan Juke. The dealership will continue to offer a wide selection of quality used cars. Comprehensive aftersales will also be available with service, parts, and Motability.

The establishment of Bristol Street Motors Stockton Nissan has generated a number of employment opportunities, reinforcing its commitment to local economic growth. The site has opened doors for skilled technicians, a service advisor, and a parts advisor to join the team.

The dealership will be spearheaded by Lee Stewart, previously the General Manager at Bristol Street Motors Darlington Nissan. Lee brings a wealth of brand knowledge and a proven track record of success to this new venture. Lee will be joined by Richard Burleigh, currently General Sales Manager at Bristol Street Motors Durham Ford.
