Wessex Garages has converted its former Bristol dealership site to become the south west’s largest stockist of used Nissans.

The Bristol-based dealership recently invested £5 million in a new flagship Nissan showroom and workshop at Cribbs Causeway and has now opened its Pennywell Road site as a used car “supercentre”. 

Terry Thurgood, General Manager at Wessex Garages, explained: “We are delighted to announce that our Pennywell Road dealership will now be a used car supercentre. We will be bridging the gap between large used car centres and auctions to main dealers.

“We will be able to offer our customers the largest selection of used Nissans in the South West. At the site 50% of the used vehicles will be Nissan models and the rest of the cars and vans will be a selection from other motor brands including ones not currently included in the Wessex Group.

“People who visit the supercentre will have plenty of choice when searching for a quality used car. They will be shopping with a reputable brand with more than 29 years’ experience in the used car industry.”

Wessex Garages has outlets in Bristol, Cardiff, Gloucester and Newport, representing the Nissan, Kia, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Abarth (one of only 14 dealers in the UK) and Hyundai ranges of cars and commercial vehicles across Wales and the South West.
