Our Response
We are pleased to report that our Sales Departments are now fully open and customers can once again visit our showrooms safely. Our aftersales departments remain fully operational as they have done throughout the most recent lockdown and customers can make appointments as usual.
We are still able to talk to you via video, send you videos of any vehicles you are looking at and meet all your sales requirements if you are however apprehensive about coming to the showroom. Customers can also still collect cars purchased online or via the telephone directly from our SKODA sites, via our Click & Collect facility. We are also able to offer home delivery options, again all carried out in a totally safe and secure manner.
All our dealerships have several Covid-19 safety measures in place in order to keep both you and our staff safe - for more details on these please contact a member of our team.
We would also like to take this opportunity for your continued support to Winchester Motor Group and we very much look forward to seeing you soon!
Kind Regards
