The display will include; Ireland’s best-selling commercial vehicle, the Caddy, the original commercial vehicle, the Transporter, Ireland’s fastest growing commercial vehicle over the last 2 years, the Crafter and the award winning Pick-up, the Amarok. Other models available for viewing will include the Caddy and Caddy Maxi Life, the Transporter Shuttle 9 seater and Caravelle as well as the ever popular camper van models; California and the all new Grand California, recently launched.
Also based in the new facility will be a service centre with 6 work bays, ensuring that customer’s needs including; maintenance, repairs, vehicle testing as well as parts supply will be met. The new on-site offering will include service plus standards such as flexible opening hours which is part of the brand’s promise to ensure customer’s vehicles can be serviced when they’re not working.
