BENFIELD will today open a new £7m Audi dealership on Scotswood Road, Newcastle.
The new flagship Audi development is one of the largest in the North of England and is one of the first dealerships in the region demonstrating the latest Audi brand concept.
Mark Squires, Benfield’s chief executive (pictured), said: ‘I am enormously proud of our new Audi development. With its stunning modern design, beautiful showroom and unrivalled customer service and aftersales facilities, I believe it is the most impressive motor retailing site in the North of England.
‘Customers will love the new showroom facilities, our customer lounge and the all-new Audi car configurator room, the first outside of London, as well as the biggest choice of Approved Used Audis we have ever been able to offer in Newcastle.
‘From facilities which were beginning to tire, compared with our North Tyneside, Wearside and Teesside centres, the new Newcastle Audi will become the proud flagship for North East Audi.’
The new development replaces the present Audi dealership on Scotswood Road and the new state-of-the-art showroom has space for 19- car display area and there is a used car display area with space for more than 80 vehicles.
The overall development also includes a full aftersales facility, a 19-bay workshop with advanced diagnostic equipment, dedicated customer car parking, a private lounge area and a ‘Quattro Lounge’ with free Wifi and refreshments.
