The John Clark Motor Group, one of Scotland’s biggest dealers, is to invest £2.5 million in the relocation and expansion of its Dundee Audi dealership to a new site at Kings Cross Road in Dundee.

This investment comes on top of a £1.5 million redevelopment already underway at the group’s Specialist Cars Audi dealership in Aberdeen, taking its total current investment in the brand to £4 million.

Dundee Audi will move from its existing premises on Lochee Road to temporary showroom and workshop premises at the new site on Tuesday. Construction work will then start on the new showroom and workshop complex which is due for completion next summer.

The new dealership will incorporate a modern steel and glass eight-car showroom and an expanded workshop with 14 service bays and a new MoT testing facility. Used car display space will be three-times that at the existing Lochee Road dealership.

The move will create 15 new jobs.
