Vertu Motors has invested £600,000 in upgrading two of its Macklin Motors Hyundai dealerships in Edinburgh.

The interior and exterior alterations are part of the roll out of a new corporate identity by Hyundai.

The dealerships, in the East and West of the city respectively, have undergone work including interior remodelling with a new layout to include a customer waiting area with a coffee lounge and a specific handover lounge, complete with an unveiling plinth.

The exterior of the dealerships has been updated from the previous blue to bronze and the installation of a large bronze arch over the entrance to the showrooms.

Macklin Motors Hyundai West also has new valeting and MoT facilities. On the other side of the city at Macklin Motors Hyundai East, the renovations include a new floating ceiling, heating and modern energy efficient lighting.

John Gavin oversees both Macklin Motors Hyundai sites in Edinburgh.

He said: “The new branding from Hyundai looks very sleek and modern.

“The new showroom layout and upper-floor office space means that we can further enhance the excellent service we offer to our customers. We’ve already received lots of compliments from returning customers.”
