In over 5 decades the car dealer group has seen a huge amount of change, from new franchises, new brand identities to new showrooms and workshops. But the family that runs the business is still at the helm and the same principles of good value, good service and transparent and honest pricing are still very much the same. Chief Executive Graham Jacobs said: “I still get real pleasure when I talk to the customers, who bought our cars from us in the 60’s, who are in the showroom buying a new car or having their car serviced. They can only be retuning to us after all this time if we are delivering a service and a product that they are happy with, and that speaks volumes”. e dealer has won multiple awards for customer experience in recent years with 5 star reviews on platforms like Auto Trader and the sta are tasked with delivering exceptional levels of service. ey recognise that whilst customers expect good service, they also want the best prices. Sales Manager Sam Barham at the Lyndhurst showroom said: “We keep a close eye on the market and how our cars are priced in comparison to other dealerships and other makes and models. We just want to give our customers great prices and uncomplicated offers that are accessible to everyone - a simple and effective service”. Picador Vauxhall Lyndhurst, Romsey Road, Lyndhurst.
