Suzuki has taken its tally of UK dealerships to 155 with the opening of Kap Motor Group’s new showroom in Canterbury.

The Furneaux family-owned Kap Motor Group has served motorists in the county – which now boasts five Suzuki dealerships – for the last 60 years and its new site on Ashford Road, Chartham, houses the entire Suzuki model line-up.

According to Suzuki the upgraded standalone premises boasts a “contemporary and airy hospitality lounge”, as well as refreshment facilities. Visitors have access to an on-site body shop, and servicing bays for routine maintenance, repairs and MOTs.

The Kap Motor Group prides itself as a Motability Scheme specialist for drivers who qualify for the programme.

Dale Wyatt, Sales and Marketing Director at Suzuki (GB) PLC, said: “We would like to welcome the Kap Motor Group to the Suzuki retail network.

“They will prove a valuable addition as we continue to grow our geographical coverage across the UK.

“Kent has always been an important region for the brand in terms of sales volume. It is therefore essential that we make buying a Suzuki even easier and more accessible for local customers, as we look forward to the arrival of the Baleno hatchback and other great value products in the coming year.”

Garry Furneaux, Dealer Principal of the Kap Motor Group, adds: “We are delighted to be representing Suzuki in Canterbury, and the franchise is the perfect fit to meet the increasing demand from drivers in the surrounding area for affordable, economical and stylish cars.

“Motorists will equally benefit from the exceptional level of service delivered by our experienced personnel who are on hand seven days a week to ensure that they drive away in the Suzuki that is right for them. This a very exciting time for the Kap Motor Group.”
