Crewe Audi is adding value for its customers in a partnership with a local prestige hotel.

The collaboration with Crewe Hall's leisure centre and spa offers Audi drivers a free physical check of their own health while their vehicle is in the workshop.

Head of business Gary Tombs said: “Care of staff and creating a happy workforce is a key priority across the Swansway Group and now we want to extend that welfare to customers.

“Instead of waiting for their vehicles to be serviced or MoT’d, they can make great use of that time by having their fitness levels checked by trained staff at the health and leisure club.

“They can enjoy full use of the facilities with our compliments.

“It’s our way of showing how much we value their custom by giving them the opportunity to enjoy a little ‘me’ time, away from all the stresses and strains of life in four-star luxury.”

Welfare of staff across the family-owned Swansway Group, which operates Crewe Audi, was recognised in the Sunday Times ‘Best Companies to Work For 2011’ list.

The group runs three Audi centres, three Honda sites, two VW dealerships, one SEAT, one Peugeot and four VW commercial vehicle centres.
