Marcus Trescothick Opens New Toyota World Bristol South Centre

Somerset and England Cricketer Marcus Trescothick officially opened the new Toyota World Bristol South Centre, taking time out from his busy Benefit Year. He also kindly donated signed memorabilia from his private collection for auction on the night, with part of the funds raised going to his chosen charity the Children’s Hospice South West.

Over 100 people attended the preview night at the new Toyota World Bristol South Centre on Thursday 28th February as invited guests of Dealer Principal Graeme Matthews and his team.

Toyota has been a well-established and popular brand in Bristol for thirty years and Toyota World Bristol South has followed in the footsteps of its sister Centre in Bristol, North, investing three quarters of a million pounds in creating a centre of excellence. Bristol South chose a contemporary building design to maximise the space available on the two-acre site. Inside, Toyota World South has embraced the very latest Toyota retail concept design features. The new Centre will unveil spacious showrooms, displaying the exciting and diverse range of Toyota vehicles, a state of the art ten bay workshop, including two diagnostic bays and a dedicated MOT area. There will also be two undercover wet valet bays and four dry valet bays to ensure every new, used or service car leaves the premises in great condition. Outside there is room for fifty customers parking bays and over seventy fully prepared Toyota Approved Used Cars in a fully landscaped and attractive environment. All Toyota Approved Cars are sold with Toyota Approved Warranty, RAC Roadside assistance, authorised Vehicle Mileage Check and a Vehicle Exchange Plan is available.

Toyota World South Dealer Principal Graeme Matthews said,” We are delighted that the re-furbishment programme has completely transformed this prime site on the Bath Road, providing great visibility for the Toyota brand and easy local access from Bristol and nearby Bath for our customers. The opening of our new Bath Road site provides Bristol with a choice of two Toyota World retail centres, each with their own unique design, but with common award winning customer service standards.” Customer comfort and service are the key motivators at the new site. A very warm welcome awaits customers and visitors to Toyota World South. There is a customer lounge serving complimentary refreshments, with an easy view out to the new showroom with feature cars displayed prominently in a relaxed environment. Every model from the Toyota range is available for road test from the new Bath Road centre. The sales team can advise on the most suitable purchase method, including a range of cost effective finance packages. New cars are sold with extensive Toyota warranty and RAC Roadside Assistance and GAP insurance is offered as an option on all vehicles.
