Citygate Group has fully re-opened its Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Colindale Van Centre following a substantial refurbishment and expansion of the facility.

The former shared site, on Capitol Way, London, has been redeveloped to create a larger facility capable of displaying up to eight vehicles within its showroom, including a separate California lifestyle area and commissioning room, and overall space for 40 vehicles.

Adding to the Volkswagen Commercial operation’s size has allowed the inclusion of a full range of used ‘Engineered to Go’ products, in stock, for customers that require Luton, dropside or tipper models.

The facility also benefits from the introduction of an on-site paint and body shop and a second specialist service advisor to facilitate extended workshop opening hours of 7am to 7pm.

Richard Blunden, national network development manager for Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “The newly-transformed Colindale site is further proof of how we are working with our partners to provide the best levels of service to our customers.

“The redeveloped Colindale Van Centre has seen a great deal of investment by Citygate and is testament to the ongoing confidence our investors have in the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles brand.

“Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles continue to work with its customers to help them to reduce costly downtime.

“The aftersales facilities within the Van Centre, combined with the launch of new extended opening hours in the workshop, will have a positive effect on minimising this issue for Colindale Van Centre customers.”
