Motorline Group is ready to open its new £3.7 million Skoda dealership in Cantebury on Broad Oak Road.

The dealership relocated from its previous location on the Vauxhall Industrial Estate less than a mile away.

The new dealership features an eight car showroom, workshop and customer handover bay, and the new building has been designed to meet Skoda’s latest corporate identity standards.

Paul Stapylton, Motorline operations director, said: “After 10 years in the city, this new and improved dealership is testament to the car company’s ever growing reputation as a manufacturer of well-built, reliable cars with a helpful dealer network.”

Motorline also represents Skoda in Dartford and Gillingham. The Kent-based dealer group was founded in 1972 and it represents 10 franchises across the South of England and South Wales.

In the last 18 months, the company has invested £7 million into regeneration of its Parkwood complex in Maidstone and it has also acquired a new business in the centre of Cardiff. Motorline also recently expanded with its fifth Nissan franchise after opening a temporary dealership in Reading.
