A Message From The General Manager
Hi there and welcome to our Marketing Website.
An awful lot has changed in the past 12 months at our Bishop Auckland site. I joined SG Petch very early in 2005 with the brief to transform the dealership into a multi-franchise supersite and give Bishop Auckland and its surrounding areas, the customer service it deserves from its local dealer. It was a difficult start with the unfortunate demise of MG/Rover early in April as we had lost our main supplier of new cars.
However, I was given the task by Steve Petch to go out and find suitable replacements to serve the area; they needed to have quality, reliability and a wide range of vehicles.
We decided to appoint Fiat and Hyundai, one because of their enthusiasm towards the Bishop Auckland area, the other because of their fantastic vehicle range. Let me start with Fiat, they have just produced and delivered to Bishop Auckland the best small car of 2006. We have no doubt the all new Grande Punto will be a massive hit around here and for only £7594 on the road it is amazing value as well.
Moving on to Hyundai, one of the fastest growing companies in the world and selling over 40,000 vehicles in 2005. I had no second thought about appointing them in Bishop Auckland, they bring with them a unique 5 year unlimited mileage warranty and with a vehicle range from the small economical Getz to the sporty Coupe, you will struggle to find one that doesn’t suit your needs.
All this is brand new to the site but remember that we also have the SsangYong and Daihatsu franchises that have been with us since day one at Bishop Auckland. The all-new SsangYong Kyron with a towing capacity of over 2300kg sits beautifully alongside its big brother the Rexton, capable of towing 3500kg it will pull your house down. Last but not least the SsangYong Rodius, this super seven seater looks and drives magnificent and is ideal for all you taxi drivers out there!!! And from only £14995 it is super value.
Daihatsu has been with SG Petch for over 20 years now and its reliability is legendary in the area, its class leading Sirion looks and drives great and from £7495 representing superb value.
In closing I would personally like to thank each and every one of our customers both past and present for your continuous support and look forward to seeing you over the forthcoming weeks to view our all new range of Fiat, Hyundai, SsangYong and Daihatsu vehicles, oh and don’t forget we also have a van section now, our commercial specialist Chris Moore is on hand with any questions you may have.
Best Wishes
Billy Upton
General Manager Bishop Auckland
