Bristol Street Motors Vauxhall Newcastle moves to newly refurbished location

24/10/2023

Bristol Street Motors has completed the acquisition of a dealership at Westerhope Interchange on Stamfordham Road.

The site, once known as Stratstone Jaguar, will be the new home to Bristol Street Motors Newcastle Vauxhall. Previously located on Scotswood Road, the dealership has relocated to the Westerhope site after a substantial renovation worth over £600,000.

The new dealership will house the same friendly faces that customers are familiar with, with General Manager Liam Fenwick keen to continue delivering outstanding levels of customer service.

Bristol Street Motors Newcastle Vauxhall will display the full range of Vauxhall’s exciting models, including the all new Corsa, Astra, Mokka, Crossland and Grandland, together with a range of all-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

Vauxhall recently launched its Electric Streets of Britain campaign, which aims to support those without off-street parking to charge their vehicles. Recent research commissioned by Vauxhall showed that 40% of households in the UK do not have off-street parking for charging their electric vehicles. Working with a number of providers, Vauxhall’s initiative aims to speed up installation of on-street residential charging points.

Robert Forrester, Chief Executive of Bristol Street Motors, reflected on the move, stating: "Our continued growth is a testament to our team's unwavering commitment to service excellence and our loyal customer base. This investment not only bolsters our offerings but also greatly benefits the local community; it is fantastic to see this excellent location in action once again.

"We look forward to welcoming new and existing customers through the doors of Bristol Street Motors Newcastle Vauxhall’s new home.”
