Our Response
Following the government announcement regarding the new tier 4 restrictions from 26th December, we wanted to communicate how Winchester Motor Group will be helping keep you moving.
From 29th December our aftersales departments will operate as normal in a safe & secure manner and be open on an appointment only basis.
Our sales showrooms will unfortunately not be open to the public until further notice. We will be able to talk to you via video, send you videos of any vehicles you are looking at and meet all your sales requirements as if we were face to face. Customers can 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.
Our team are on hand to assist in a variety of ways with all your sales & aftersales enquiries, being telephone, email or live chat.
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 again (in person) soon!
Kind Regards
Mark Mills-Goodlet
