FAMILY-owned car retailer Motorhouse has added a Suzuki franchise to its existing main dealership.

The firm will be refurbishing and extending its current seven-car showroom in Old Station Way, Coleford to house 11 cars at a time.

The contemporary surroundings will have a new customer reception and the full Suzuki line-up from the Celerio City car to the Vitara S compact SUV.

Andrew Wildin, managing director of Motorhouse Coleford, said: “Suzuki’s broad range of eye-catching models, which span from economical small cars to well-equipped and highly capable 4x4s and SUVs, is exactly what motorists in the region are looking for.

“Our recent soft launch weekend was an extremely promising start, with plenty of interest in the line-up from existing and prospective Suzuki customers alike. The future of the franchise is certainly looking very bright.”

Dale Wyatt, director of automobile at Suzuki added: “We are delighted to welcome Motorhouse Coleford to the Suzuki family.

“With over 50 years of invaluable experience and knowledge in vehicle sales, combined with an established customer base, they are an ideal partner to expand our presence in the south west of the UK, and we are very pleased to have them on board.”
