Europe’s largest VW dealership gets £2million makeover

Top 100 dealer group, Citygate Automotive, has completed an extensive 16-month refurbishment of its flagship Volkswagen dealership in Brentford, West London.

Having invested more than £2million in the project, which began in July 2020, the site is one of the first in the UK to showcase both VW and ŠKODA brands under one roof. The dealership remained open to customers throughout the refurbishment, in accordance with social distancing guidelines.

The new showroom covers four floors with the capacity for a large selection of new and used Volkswagen and ŠKODA vehicles. Among a range of new features is a heritage and performance car display along with a state-of-the-art kids’ entertainment area.

Commenting on the official reopening of West London Volkswagen and ŠKODA, Citygate West London’s Divisional Director, Daniel Stone, said:

“We are delighted to relaunch this fantastic sales, service and experience centre to our customers, along with welcoming ŠKODA to the building. Under usual circumstances, this would have been a major undertaking but the impact of the pandemic has made this all the more challenging. Thanks to the dedication and professionalism of our staff and contractors, we were still able to trade during the project and we now look forward to welcoming customers back to the showroom in all its glory.”

Employing over 650 staff, Citygate now operates 14 dealerships across London and the Home Counties, representing Volkswagen, VW Commercial Vehicles, ŠKODA, SEAT, Cupra and Kia.
