Brindley Garages has opened its second Kia dealership in the West Midlands.

The new dealership, a redevelopment of the former Bicknells Vauxhall site in Tipton, is the outcome of a significant £3 million pound investment from both Kia and Brindley.

It has also seen employment of an additional 12 people to the Brindley team, including Kia technically trained staff.

The dealership, created to Kia's Red Cube corporate identity, also boasts a 15-car showroom, a workshop with 10 service bays and space for 60 used cars.

The dealership is the second Kia franchise Bindley has invested in, after running a successful Kia site in Wolverhampton for 7 years.

Dealer principal James Elkes said: “The continued demand for the Kia brand has made the opening of this dealership possible. We have assembled a team that will offer a professional, friendly experience that ensures our customers can make informed decisions in a welcoming environment.”

Brindley, a family run business established in 1931, also represents Honda, Vauxhall, Hyundai, Chevrolet, Mazda, Volvo, Nissan and Mitsubishi franchises throughout the West Midlands area.
