Brand new car retailer set to put Crawley community in pole position

Volvo Cars Crawley, which will be situated on Gatwick Road, has been acquired by the Harwoods Group. The retailer will open its doors for repairs, MOTs and services in February, as well as ‘virtually’ opening for online sales appointments until restrictions allow customers to see the new showroom for themselves.

The new-look showroom will feature Volvo’s signature lounge area, complete with Scandinavian furniture, free Wi-Fi and Swedish cakes and coffee. Customers will be invited to relax while their car is being looked after, or can carry on working with free Wi-Fi.

Large exterior and interior glazing allows customers to see all activity in the new workshops from – what feels like – the comfort of their living room. The retailer has also pledged that no refreshments will be served using single-use plastics – in fact, these have been remove from the showroom completely. The showroom will display a range of petrol, fully electric and hybrid cars, as well as Volvo Selekt Approved Used models on the forecourt. Over 100 different checks ensure these Approved Used models are not just safe, but performing to a high standard with the latest Volvo parts and software.

Nick Jones, Brand Director at Volvo Cars Crawley, said: “The team and I are really looking forward to opening our doors for the first time in February - albeit to a slightly smaller crowd than we would have hoped for! We cannot wait to welcome new customers for a cup of coffee and a chat about their car purchase and servicing needs in our new home when it is safe to do so.”
