About
Us
Our Renault Main Dealership is located on
the outskirts of Hawick on the main A698 Kelso road.
We have been here since ‘1982’ when we
purchased the old Thornwood Garage from Dovemount Motors, a
long established Ford dealer who had ceased trading. We
immediately started to revamp the premises and buildings ready
for the arrival of our Datsun stock as we became a sub-dealer
for our main branch in Galashiels.
We decided in 1986 to broaden our horizons
and take on the Ford agency in Hawick and continued with
Datsun only in Galashiels. Taking on the Ford franchise was a
positive move and our continued investment in the dealership
culminated in 1991 when we opened our current building, which
led to our next major move, when in 1992 due to forces outside
our control we terminated the Ford franchise and were
delighted to be appointed the Renault Main Dealer for the
Central Borders.
This necessitated a major investment in
equipment and training and an increase of 50% in our staff
members.
At the time of our appointment Renault had
a market share of around 3% and were number six in popularity
in the UK and as of today that share has more than doubled and
Renault is established as number three in the UK Motor
Industry. Although we can’t claim the credit for all of the
increase!
So, today we are still with Renault and
although we are one of the smallest dealers we are continually
rated by our customers as one of the very best overall dealers
in the Country and we have twice gained the coveted status of
Master Club Dealer.
