Quicks is opening a Jaguar dealership on a site shared with Ford.
Quicks Group has picked up its second Jaguar franchise, taking over the Stockport, Greater Manchester, territory from HR Owen-owned Holindrake.
Jaguar and Volvo dealers are seeking assurances that Ford's Premier Automotive Group is not about to buy a stake in Pendragon.
New Stratstone of Mayfair managing director Keith Woods has ambitious plans to make the dealership the epitome for “everything Jaguar and Aston Martin”.
Jaguar has launched an own brand range of technically advanced lubricants developed in conjunction with Texaco. The development is part of its objective to provide the highest standards in customer service, to protect Jaguar engine life and keep Jaguar owners loyal to its franchised dealers.
The launch of S-Type has been more successful than even Jaguar dealers could have hoped and one dealer manager told Automotive Management he was “embarrassed” at the profit margins he was making on the car.
