Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles opens new Exeter centre

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has opened a new centre in Exeter operated by Yeomans Group which will stock its full range alongside approved used vans and passenger cars.

Located at the Marsh Barton Trading Estate, the 18,500 sq.ft. showroom has space for 100 new and approved used vehicles on site.

The servicing space has nine service ramps and a Class 7 MOT bay for commercial vehicles, providing full servicing options, including high-voltage trained technicians for ID. Buzz customers.

The facility will also operate the brand’s van rental service Volkswagen Flexi-Rent, allowing customers to rent up to six months or more, with daily prices starting at just £62.

Jamie Watts, operations director at Yeomans Group, commented: “We’re delighted to move our Exeter Van Centre into this fantastic new facility, which will allow us to better serve the growing number of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles owners in Devon and the surrounding area. We are now able to display the full range of vehicles on offer in our seven van showrooms, and have extensive Approved Used forecourt space which will allow us to stock a much more diverse range of vehicles.

“With our workshop space increasing dramatically, and with the addition of a Class 7 MOT bay, we will now be able to reduce our lead times and improve the customer experience dramatically.”

Rob Holdcroft, head of network sales at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, said: “The new Exeter facility further enhances our UK retail network, providing a full range of products and services covering new sales, approved used sales, aftersales and rental. This state of the art facility showcases the very best of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles to new and existing customers.”

The new Exeter facility brings the total Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles network to 64 van centres and 32 authorised repairers, all dedicated to successfully support customers across the UK.
