Luxury car dealer group HR Owen has benefited from early new car deliveries and says it expects first half profits to beat expectations.
Pendragon has made good progress in the first quarter of 2013 and is performing in line with expectations, the UK's largest franchised motor retailer said this morning.
Ford has launched a loyalty and incentive package aimed at showing motorists the value of franchised network servicing.
The salesman’s role has undergone major changes as customers become better informed about their options.
Leading from the front seems to come naturally for Graham Jacobs. As the second generation in his family to head Vauxhall dealer group Picador, he welcomes the responsibility to motivate his dealership teams into delivering the best for his customers.
The Independent Automotive Aftermarket Federation (IAAF) is urging independent garages to inform motorists of their choices for car maintenance in response to the SMMT and NFDA’s Minute or Two campaign which is looking to help franchised workshops capture and retain more aftersales work.
While digital developments continue to change the way automotive retailers operate, there are still certain aspects which have not changed over the past 10 years.
